2. You're right.

Among the Nazis, I could have included those convicted at the Nuremberg Trials and many others.

Among the Soviets, I could have included Molotov and Semyon Timoshenko (whose forces occupied Eastern Poland shortly after the German invasion of Western Poland).

Among the Americans, I could have included Condoleezza Rice and many others.

And let's not forget W's British lapdog, Tony Blair.

Guatemala, etc.

10. RayGun is now a god.

He died in 2004 and was immediately deified by conservative think tanks.

To this day, no visitor to Stanford University's Hoover Institution dares to criticize RayGun. Other than that, such "scholars" as Donald Rumsfeld are encouraged to to explore the entire spectrum of political viewpoints from William F. Buckley, Jr. to Jonah Goldberg.

RayGun's favorite scientist also spent some time at the Hoover Institution.

12. About Guatemala ...

According to Wikipedia,

In 1999 a report on the Guatemalan Civil War from the UN-sponsored Commission for Historical Clarification stated that “the American training of the officer corps in counter-insurgency techniques” was a “key factor” in the “genocide…Entire Mayan villages were attacked and burned and their inhabitants were slaughtered in an effort to deny the guerillas protection.” According to the commission, between 1981 and 1983 the Guatemalan government—financed and trained by the US—destroyed four hundred Mayan villages and butchered 200,000 peasants

This would seem to implicate RayGun.

Bush I, who was RayGun's Vice President, might or might not be implicated. As a former DCI, he probably took an interest in what was going on, while maintaining plausible deniability.

3. Has the USA been beaten in a 'World War' recently?

It's hard to tell.

[Lionel Mandrake]

5. Nope.

We lost the Vietnam War, but that was hardly a World War.

Because the USA hasn't been occupied by an enemy, our biggest war criminals have never been brought to justice.

We do sometimes convict the small fry, just to maintain appearances.
