Firstly, if France and Britain had treated Hitler the way Reagan treats
our friend Gaddafi, then who started WWII?  I'd rather be certain that
my side are the good guys. Would the USA have joined the allies in the
war if there had been any uncertainty? You poultry dragged your heels quite
enough as it was. This is what is happening to USA's allies at the moment.
We aren't sure that you are the good guys.

Secondly, I object to your racist snobbery in the remark about the SA,
please try not to be quite such a caricature, it doesn't win any
sympathy for your arguments at all. In fact, I support the Americans in
their attack on Libya, and was only provoked to reply at all by your
exceptionally childish insult to Mr Borman, which I didn't feel was
deserved.
