[QUOTE="lawman, post: 195564, member: 16436"] sorry, java, i don't think it's as black & white as you want it to be. sometimes it's against the law to give weapons to "islamic fundamentalists" (whatever that means), sometimes it's not. who do you think bought osama his stinger missiles, etc.? that's right, the u.s. taxpayers, perfectly legally. we support the islamic fundamentalists in saudi arabia, to the point of going to war in part for them; we supported osama's group when it suited our purposes at the time; we used to oppose the islamic fundamentalists in pakistan, now we've discovered they are our long-lost buddies. but gov'ts we support in the phillipines & israel are killing islamic fundamentalists. that was the point of the reference: ollie broke the law of the day. the law is like the weather, it can change at any time, especially in a country with a government which is answerable (at least somewhat) to popular elections. also, i can't tell if you meant to say i was idolizing ollie but for the record,i did no such thing. i was around back then, i remember watching the hearings. reasonable minds could differ, then as well as now, on the advisability of arming barbarians that we might well have to fight later (you reap what you sow--don't get me started on the advisability of helping the chinese). laws were broken, the laws of the day, which were the 1s which were in effect & which had to be enforced. i don't condone it or idolize the 1s who did it. i did admire brendan sullivan, a good lawyer doing a good job in tough circumstances, & i thought fawn hall (kind of a babe) stuffing shredded documents in her panties spiced it up some--'course, that was before the clinton hearings made all that seem very tame & innocent.
