Freedom of speech doesn't automatically imply an informed citizenry. It's obvious that despite such freedoms, the actual truth of matters is of little concern to your vast majority.

Just their word that they have it [the evidence] is enough for you? You don't actually demand proof? Jeez. It's not like your government has ever lied to you before, oh no.

Wonderful rs7, just wonderful. I suggest you take a long, hard look in the mirror. Perhaps you'll realise that you're no better than the "cowards" you so despise.

Does yours distinguish between civillians killed in the heart of NYC and the heart of Baghdad, Basra, Kabul and elsewhere?

But what is that assumption based on? The attempt on the snr Bush's life? Is that all you have? I'll ask you again, where are these links to terrorism -- and Al-Q in particular -- your government keeps reassuring the world that it knows about? If SH does have WMD, then he's had them...

Do you lie to yourself like this in all aspects of life Buzz? I never spoke about the intention (which remains unproven), I was asking about the capability.

Ninja, let me introduce myself. :) "War on Terror" is the most brilliantly convenient excuse for US international (and national, I take it) action ever created.

The "power to kill Americans" alone is justification for a war? The fact that no plans to actually do so have yet been (or will they ever be, it seems) uncovered; that no links to Al-Q have yet been (or will ever be, it seems) demonstrated, is inconsequential to you? What a fUcking idiot.

Actually Kymar, I'm writing my thoughts as a former conservative, Objectivist apologist, who could see no wrong in having the US export the "happiness is a SUV" concept, by any means possible, to every corner of the world. Any broken eggs along the way were inevitable in attempting to shape "a...

Actually Buzz, I'm all too aware of Argentina's story. I'm not wearing any blinkers in regard to that, I can assure you. Fortunately for the rest of the world, Argentina's problems, government actions -- be they corruption or whatever -- tend to affect people in Argentina. US government...

Perhaps because receiving permission to live France requires more than just a desire to live there? ie, a visa. No surprise that such a simple fact completely eluded the eloquent Mondo.

rs7, I was responding to the suggestion that Arab's rhetoric far outweighs their willingness to fight. Surely someone willing to give his life is an act of immense courage. I don't think that's even debatable. Certainly we may find such acts utterly deplorable, but we should not let...

Declassified documents show that Rumsfeld traveled to Baghdad at a time when Iraq was using chemical weapons on an "almost daily" basis in defiance of international conventions. ... The U.S. tilt toward Iraq was enshrined in National Security Decision Directive 114 of Nov. 26, 1983, one...

There is nothing anti-American about seeking justice. The the detainment at Guantanamo Bay is certainly a contentious issue, though. However, I don't think there's anything "inhumane" about a government taking security measures within its own borders, especially given that terrorists...

These kinds of incidents were pretty much inevitable. While these matters should certainly be investigated thoroughly and any criminal negligence punished, it's not really the fault of the armed forces as a whole. The fault lies with the power hungry administration that sent them there.

A socialist cannot be a patriot? Socialism is anti-Democratic? Who's actually the brainwashed one out of you and I Mondo? Hmm? You are one fucking ignorant SOB Mondo.

Yes, those suicide bombers are obviously cowards...

Babak, I can understand your indignation, but I really do believe it is misplaced. Why do you so offhandedly dismiss reasoned voices of dissent as "truly pathetic"? Could it be because their implications rock your entire world view? What do you have to lose by listening and trying to...

The Yom Kippur war? Now there's a battle plan: come to the brink of destruction and then fight your way back.

Scott Ritter, speaking to Irish radio, predicts that America will lose this war. Ritter's been called many things my many on the pro-war side, but does the name calling discredit his unquestionable experience on (and in) Iraq? (Even I think he might be reaching here..) "We find...
