Well, msfe probably is still sleeping away, dreaming of a world where Saddam was still in power. I'm still waiting for msfe to back up his claim that "western European independent media ... usually" - or maybe even in just one significant instance - "report events in Iraq far more correctly...

...in the opinion of someone who evidences ZERO respect for or interest in human freedom. I don't know which countries he's thinking of. Maybe he'll tell us. Maybe he's thinking of the former Yugoslavia - a highly exceptional case, and a prime example of what happens when the world depends...

10 Apr 2003] Stephen Pollard The dogs of intellectual war We've seen the power - and success - of shock and awe. To use the military terminology, it scared Saddam shitless. And the papers and blogosphere are full of pieces such as this on Instapundit: (N)ot many people will listen...

Oh, and here's one just for msfe: Kommentar Ein Sieg der Freiheit Das Regime Saddam Husseins ist tot Von Richard Herzinger für ZEIT.de Es scheint wahr geworden zu sein: Heute, am Mittwoch, den 9.April, vormittags, sprechen alle Anzeichen dafür, dass das Regime Saddam Husseins...

James Lileks April 10, 2003 *** You hope Saddam’s alive to see this, to see the hailstorm of footwear, the burly men taking sledgehammers to his statue’s polished podium, to see the American flag draped over his cruel empty mug. That last point was one of the more remarkable moments...

... and, while I'm on the subject, just to be clear, I've never posted anti-gay or anti-French/German foul language. Nor have I ever linked or posted "blatant pornographic BS and links to porn sites." I have, however, frequently criticized the presumptuous, prejudiced, wrong-headed, silly...

You are mistaken. I've never sought to have anyone banished. If I really despise someone, I just put him or her on ignore. Period.

How would he even know this to be true unless he was on the ground himself? Or perhaps he can give some significant examples of incidents or events in which the "multiple-sourced" European independent media got something "correctly" that CNN or Fox got wrong. Holding my breath here...

Does this mean we have to ignore him now?

Just so damned pathetic, to be so caught up in bitterness, selfishness, fear, confusion, and even something as comparatively trivial as anti-Republicanism, as to be unable to celebrate the fall of a dictator like Saddam Hussein.

Actually, fighting fire with fire is an accepted firefighting tactic. Sadly, though, you may get your wish, and someday we may once again have a government that attempts to run things according to "simple cliches."

[/b] I don't claim to be an expert on China, but I don't really agree that the Chinese government in its current form is quite as bad as the Iraqi government. At least the Chinese government is now operating in a way that holds out some promise for the Chinese - allowing growing numbers of...

Checked out the site - couldn't find the item. Maybe it'll appear later... If you or your friend could find it, there are a bunch of people who would love to send it around. I suspect that within about a day it would be all over the internet, and very quickly get picked up by major news...

Maybe. Or maybe he can just hate himself and his own country so much that he remains blind to the evil he's implicitly supporting. [b] Um.... hmmmm.... let me think about it... maybe if successful means liberating horrifically oppressed people and protecting ourselves in the process, then...

In Our Name This is a truly historic moment, LGF readers. To the naked protesters, the Hollywood whiners, the Indymedia haters, the BBC and CNN and MSNBC and Al Jazeera and Arab News: This moment is IN OUR NAME. Those who sought to keep the Iraqi people in their living hell, who stood...

Ramy Khoury, editor of the Daily Star in Beirut, Lebanon writes that "a realistic reading of the policy must conclude that the sacking of Baghdad is designed to send signals to all other Middle Eastern and Asian regimes that the U.S. finds annoying, threatening, distasteful, worrisome, or even...

Thursday, April 10, 2003 [Australia] I SHOULDN'T be so happy. After all, I'm a right-wing deathbeast, and the end (or near end) of a war should upset me, because we conservatives lust for war all the time. Except when we have to fight it ourselves, of course. Being chickenhawks and all...
