[Peace-discuss] Hubris

[C. G. Estabrook]

It's pretty silly to think that by labeling an account a "conspiracy
theory" you've shown that it's not true.  There are of course
conspiracies.  Whether it's helpful to call the close political and
military cooperation between the US and Israel (and it's clear who's the
senior partner) a conspiracy depends on just how you want to use the
term.  It would be better to learn the facts about the actions of both
parties -- and tell others about them -- against the propaganda of both.
