Except for the delusional, Osama Bin Laden *is* a terrorist.
Except for the delusional, Mugabe, Mobutu, Qaddafi, Stalin, Lenin, and Pol

Except for the delusional, the Supreme Courts decision to halt the Florida
Presidential election count was undemocratic.
Except for the delusional, the US-Mexican War (1846--1848), the Spanish
American War, the establishment of Panama (and the Canal Zone) and the
annexation of the Philippines were acts of US expansionist aggresion.
Except for the delusional, Woodrow Wilson was an unashamed
racist who segretated federal buildings.
