A modest proposal:
To the contemporary white supremacists who pro-claim themselves "pro-"legal" immigration".
I believe you are all aware, gentlemen, that the establishments of the two foreign encroachments by the barbarians termed Jamestown and Plymouth was quite illegal. The Americans never made such deals with those foreigners who were buying our land and taking our women. Yet nowadays the descendants of these illegal immigrants propose to remove the descendants of other illegal immigrants. I propose a fair and equitable trade: since the first group of illegal immigrants took land both from we Americans and the Spaniard interlopers, I suggest that in the interest of America for the Americans, we establish a united polity of Indigenous peoples, and sue to have these illegal immigrants and their descendants removed.
These men came in, took food from us and took our jobs. They did this in perfect ill-faith, and I believe, O spirits from Beyond the Grave that we can outdo Montezuma and the Diarrhea of Doom in revenging ourselves. Who's with me?
-Your obedient servant,
Tecumseh-

The US invaded Iraq, that essentially was a criminal act under the pretext of national defense. We hold people at Gitmo precisely because we have no legal leg to stand on. Had Iraq actually been responsible for 9/11 would that have made our invasion any less a crime?
People involved in national intelligence are actually paid to commit crimes on behalf of national security. The only difference being if they get caught, they will be prosecuted.

You stated that "Warfare is essentially a sequence of criminal activities on both sides." My rather logical response to such an assertion was "So if a country is invaded and that country defends itself militarily, it is committing a criminal act?"
Would you like to respond to that question -- or simply go off on another tangent about Iraq and Gitmo?
