A great day These are the scenes Robin Cook and the friends of Saddam who marched against war didn't want to see: Shame on the marchers. Shame on their claims to have been acting in the interests of the Iraqis. Shame on any thoughts they might have of sharing their opinions with us any...

09 Apr 2003] Evil is defeated I would love to fly to Baghdad all those millions who marched against the war, in their comfortable Western democracies, so that the freed people of Iraq could look into the eyes of the people who wanted to keep Saddam in power. Shame is too good for them...

VICTORY: The quibblers, the carpers, the second-guessers, the cynics, and the isolationists on right and left now have to read paragraphs like this: This is an amazing victory, a victory over a monster who gassed civilians, jailed children, sent millions into fruitless wars, harbored poisonous...

...maybe you can get these kids put back in jail, too: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=1514&e=4&u=/afp/20030408/wl_mideast_afp/iraq_war_marines_prison_030408163048 So maybe you can arrange to stop the bombing (assuming it's still going on by the time you have your...

Has it ever occurred to you that in a global economy, oppressors can gain access to wealth and weapons that make resistance by the oppressed virtually impossible? Or that, even before the modern age, the oppressed have often needed help from external powers in their struggles against the...

...between haps and dgab... let's hope they don't go nuclear.

You're quite welcome - VDH is one of my favorites. There has been a lot of very interesting writing lately on relations to and within Europe. I recently ran across an essay entitled "Europe, Anti-Europe" by Collin May, on a blog called "Innocents Abroad." After an historical overview and a...

Yes, Donald Sensing consistently offers incisive and thoughtful analysis of military issues, and pretty smart political observations, too. Among other things, just in case the North Korean leadership wasn't sure that an attack on the South would result in their annihilation, that an...

For some reason this story hasn't been widely picked up or prominently touted - suggesting that there's something not quite there about it. Even on NPR, it was suggested that "only 20 missiles" wouldn't have very much political effect. Others suggest that, unless we're very lucky or very...

Your dictionary's definition doesn't appear to reflect connotations. The term as used in modern English almost always refers to non-constitutional monarchies or to dictatorships, and is virtually never used to refer to democracies. What principally upset people about Kerry's statement was...

Chemical Agent Found at Information Ministry (2003-04-07) -- Coalition troops now in the heart of Baghdad have discovered a massive cache of the chemical agent lysergic acid diethylamide. The Iraqi Information Ministry has been identified as the site of a huge repository of the substance...

sorry, n - you've taken some unfair attacks here, but, anyway, I believe the Globex limits are all set quarterly - they don't fluctuate continuously. So 40 would be your target. http://www.cme.com/products/index/products_index_pricelimitguide.cfm Doesn't look good right now.

Magna, where did you get the idea that US policy is "only with the UN." My strong impression is that it's not "only with the UN," but "only multilaterally." One consideration is that, after all, Korea is firstly a potential problem for the other regional powers - which include some rich and...

Well, here's what a pro-American Frenchman wrote on the subject: [b] http://www.xanga.com/skin.asp?user=dissidentfrogman

Regardless of your own personal willingness to act on the sentiments you express, both in substance and in tone they are completely typical of the kind of hate speech that, in the real world, all over the world, accompany and help lead to real beatings, killings, murders, and other atrocities...

Look, now msfe has found a site that produces even more convincing parodies, this time of leftwing cranks incapable of forming connections with reality! I mean, it's obviously a fake. No intellectual or politician in the West could really be stupid enough, at a time like this, to try to...

Yes, that's pretty close to exactly what I said. [b] I haven't the slightest idea where you got the idea that I was stating or implying anything of the kind. [b] ... and for a second there I thought you might not be approaching the current controversy with an open mind. [b]...
