Well freebie, be sick no more. Neither do I live in the US nor do I have any wish to. However, summon all those vast reserves of brain power for a moment, and imagine that even if I did, why in the world would I choose to renounce my citizenship for disagreeing with a policy decision of my...

What in the world are you talking about, er, Dawg? (thanks for the tip) You might want to, er, keep it real... I didn't respond to candle, he responded to me, with an insult that is best described as that of a "raving lunatic". Exactly which "failed cuban policy" did I "point...

Perhaps this post will explain.

Wrong again TM. (you don't get tired of it?) Read my first dozen or so posts. All authentic. I was on holidays for a couple of months. I was, initially, content not to post on the war threads, but the outrageous stunts pulled by Bush to get this war started have pushed me over the top...

Unless you were kidding, why not just keep your short? Gap open below support... I'd hold it. In fact, if it opens, or moves to, today's close tomorrow, I'll short some myself, with a stop above today's high.

Mondo, are you completely incapable of engaging in a civil discourse? How about upholding one of the bedrock principles of the democracy you allegedly hold so dear: agree to disagree.

Are you completely illiterate? The only thing the poll creator wanted to ascertain was how many Christian traders there are on this site. He's not allowed to ask such an innocent question without being accused of bigotry? Or he's not allowed to ask it without also asking how many...

A LASER pre-Relativity? Maybe they had a time machine of their own.

You're damn right he has! As pretty much every leader "hijacks" -- twists to his advantage -- religion in rallying the troops. In Bush's case, given the outrage over the illegal actions the US is taking, it actually serves him quite well to be seen as a devoted Christian. I mean...

If you listen to company prognostications, they rarely have anything positive to say about prospects for the remainder of the year. (No suprsise -- saying there's still "excess capacity" is being kind.) Hopes for a second half revival are basically just that -- hope. Based, it seems, on...

Hmm, this should be revealing. :) I wonder, Optional, do you (trade)? PS - If "anti-American" means do I want to see America mind its own fucking business -- ie stick to domestic issues, and international ones through the UN? then I'm guilty as charged. If "anti-American"...

Buzz, that's far too great a simplification. The choice of president alone doesn't determine the events -- economic and politcal -- that occur within a country. It's been nice talking to you, but it doesn't seem like you have anything new to add. So pardon me, but I'll call it a day here...

Nothing wrong with Colombia huh? Ho boy. Okay. I won't go into that. :) Buzz, you're a trader, right? Think you can read a trend line? It's not ONE isolated incident I'm basing my opinions on, it's a whole freakin boatload of them. Post ww2, US meddling in other nations' politics is...

Why would politicians??? Oh man. That deserves one big fat LOL. What the FUCK is the average tax payer going to know about how this affects him? Zero? Less than zero? Justifying self-serving policy to Joe Public is probably THE OLDEST trick in the politicians playbook! The vast...

Buzz, whether or not careers were ended or what not (btw, Ollie North's doing fine isn't he?) is beside the point. The fact is that there exist power structures within the US government that make it possible for the US to engage in the kind of subversive plots I have pointed to. I agree that...

Cubano, I know this is going to sound incredible to you, and probably indelibly characterise me as a harrytrader-level loonie (unless I already have been), but I wouldn't be so quick believe all these reports of just how totally intolerable life is under Saddam. Has it occurred to you that to...

Oh okay Buzzy. Being an American then, would you care to explain to me which Congressmen and Senators idea the Iran-Contra affair was?

Buzzy, thanks for your explanations. I may have been quick to assume you were referring to the 80s crisis. However, there is no need to go into all the detail you did regarding the latest bailout. A bank is in the business of making loans. If S America flounders -- and countries there...

Mossadegh was a dictator huh? Pfft. He was a nationalist, yes, (nothing wrong with that the last time I checked with the US hawks), but he was ELECTED. The Sandanistas were dictators huh? They were elected in a LANDSLIDE! (Iran-Contra scandal ring a bell here?)

That's who you think holds the reins of power when it comes to international affairs huh? As msfe would say: bwahahahahaha
