Like we didn't see that coming

Response to: US: Some soldiers are missing Posted March 23rd, 2003 in Politics

it's the naivete of the US to not inform the US military that this fight is to the death and that one should not expect Iraqis(tribesmen or elite guard) to implement the Geneva Accord's actions.

Response to: "Shock and Awe raids"? Posted March 23rd, 2003 in Politics

the only shock and awe i find in this war is the African American Muslim in the US military that is the suspect for the grenade incident. If he's found guilty, we're gonna have some major issues coming up

Bush was narrowly voted in, and even after 2+ years of being in office, do you suspect any less protest from the people?

you're absolutely right, why should we have to struggle with diplomacy? Are we a nation that likes a challenge? No we are a nation that gets results.

War is the easy way out indeed, is there any other way to solve it so quickly? Iraq's government must be disarmed by force. The UN paradox was a fun game, but now is not the time for games.

I mean, like, the 6-year-old little girls dressed up in knee-high "fuck me" boots, black mini-skirts, and halter tops? Not to mention, holding their bleach-blonde mom's hand, who is dressed the same? That really erks me to see someone actually do that to their child. It's like saying... "Hey, they may not know what sex it yet, make we'll make sure they know before they're 10!"

aren't they the children of the generation when the US's hockey victory over the USSR in 1980 changed their lives?

But I suppose no one here has heard of either of those. So I must be wrong.

you are just too out of context. French had the politiques, and the enlightenment thinkers during that time. In Russia, intellengentsia played a substantial impact in their revolution. What's wrong with this picture in Iraq? Number one, they never evolved from the agricultural revolution. They're partying like it's 1599. Number two, as a result of number one there is no intellegent and aspiring middle class to create such a revolution. The Kurds would be successful if they weren't a bunch of warlords. You expect a nation that might as well be in africa to get to a level from french or russian revolution?

I mean, look at the metternich system after napoleon's rule. But hey, I bet none of you have heard of that either. And after all, the US has never been fond of letting things play themselves out.

The metternich system is the worst possible system for the globe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are in the information revolution. The world is global and must allow for the sovereignty of the peoples, not dictators or monarchs. The reason it failed 3 centuries ago, espcially in Austria, the country in which it was developed, was because of the monumental diversity in the nation. Now you compare Austria to the world, you couldn't make a more accurate description that disproves your theory.

Yes and the US's power to veto will ensure that Iraq's new government will made in the interests of the US, since the UN indirectly required the invasion of Iraq and cost America alot of money

Response to: France: Why? Posted March 23rd, 2003 in Politics

1. France relies on oil from Iraq or else it would freeze over, and the gas prices are triple american gas prices.

2. Since the Ottoman Empire, France has the largest Arab population out of any Western European nation. This gives the probability of terrorist activity high if they support the US

-actually i heard from CNN that someone threw a grenade in there, and someone started firing on the soldiers as they escaped the tents.
-there have still been more British casualties than Americans

2. The war has been going strong for 2 days now, but these alleged weapons of mass destruction have yet to rear their ugly heads. And please, dont say he launched scuds, because those are all products of world war II research and development, and have not hurt anyone.

-don't jynx...you'll get the fallout too

3. Has anyone else seemed to notice that what were peaceful demonstrations only turned violent after the police got over zealous in their LAPD-rodney king idea of crowd control?

-see my post about demonstrations and how the are irrelevant

4. 1.2 trillion dollars, If a car cost 50000 dollars US, lets say a BMW for instance, you could buy 24 Million of them, or in other terms, you could buy about 6 billion buckets of fried chicken. (popeyes or kfc or whatever you buy chicken from in the states)

-and it would buy Canada, you'd want that wouldn't you

5. Attrition seems to be taking a bigger toll on american forces than the Iraqi's, helicopter crashes, and disgruntled soldiers throwing grenades at their own team. Yet the news still claims they died defending america. Defending it from what? I dont think any country in the middle east has the resources or manpower to even contemplate invading the US.

-attrition doesn't take place after 4 days...and due to the overwhelming news coverage, if a general farted, it would get a 30 minute report.
-We're not fighting to prevent invasion. We're fighting a government and its backward, one religion, one leader, one economy mentality, we're giving Iraq a quick lesson in Westernization

6. There are dozens of countries that commit attrocities on their prople, many of these countries also have, and it is proven that they have, nuclear weapons, and other weapons of mass destruction, to quote your beloved president, yet america only sees fit to go after Iraq. I could name 10 countries that are commiting far worse attrocities right now than saddam ever has, yet you only focus on Iraq, who has no weapons of mass destruction at all.

-if you speak of NK, the US will use Iraq's deserts as a military base, since turkey didn't wanna share its military zones. Iraq will be used as the US's middle east post, for all future events occuring there, and in Asia
-and we're not the world's babysitter, get that straight!

1.2 trillion dollars on a war that is not even going to accomplish anything. I'm just glad that I'm not an american tax payer

-me too because your vote would counter mine and we can't have that.

you're just ignorant,young, and without the facts. i'm glad i'm still tolerant of the Canadian opinion after listening to what you said.

It's not being anti-soldier, it's just not supporting them.

i doubt that any of those soldiers want to fight on the other side of the earth(for many, again). But they're brave enough to say, "I don't like it, but i'll do it for my country."

I had a very nostalgic moment today. It happened to be a beautiful morning in NJ which is a rariety, so i took my girlfriend to the park. As i sat on the bench with her, the ducks, geese, and seagulls were all mingling and making funny sounds in the pond. As i watched people of all types nationalities: the elderly with their children and some with grandchildren, middle age couples, pensive walkers...etc, i realized that our soldiers out there are fighting so that I can enjoy a moment like this, and so that children don't have to worry about terrorist attacks in many aspects of their lives, and so that the elderly, who survived a way more painful war, can live the rest of their lives in peace.

if the child honestly wants to understand, he/she should be allowed to learn something or anything about that subject at the judgement of the parents. I learned about them when i was 10, i thought it was weird and goofy and never thought about it again until the hormones came in. The truth is that most children and pre-teens don't even consider intercourse, and as the popular trend is emerging, oral sex is on the rise as a quasi-abstinence.
