[Peace-discuss] Billy Graham

FAB,  where exactly is this quote that you claim to exist - I rather doubt
that anyone would model any bombing campaign on the attack on Dresden, but
that is what gets lots of people to suck up to you.  I wish that you would
have to present information subject to the penalty of perjury and that when
it does not measure up to being verified fact that you were hit with a year
in jail, the penalty for perjury.  Then you might lie less than currently.

Here is a pretty well written article about General Horner based on
interviews with him - I am sure that none of you like the source since it
is not ultra left, but it probably is pretty factually accurate
