Make you think of anyone? "All I can say about the present war is that neither the BBC nor the French and Arab press and state controlled media seem to have learnt the basic lessons of propaganda and manipulation. If they have a contingency plan to explain the eventual allied victory, I have...

Does msfe even read the stuff he posts? I don't have any problem admitting that the United States has done some horrible things over the 225 or so years of its existence. Here are some items from "America's List of Terrorism," which appears on the site he just linked: World War II -...

Amnesty International and Humans Rights Watch are, I suppose, not ideologically pure enough for you?

Very French and academic, but helps to explain what's going on: ”THE NEO-PACIFISTS AT WAR…WITH PEACE” Robert Redeker in Le Monde, Thursday, 3/27/03: There is nothing more tragic than the fate of pacifism. Claiming to fight imperialism, it has generally ranged itself on the side of...

This information, especially regarding ANSWER, has been widely reported, and has been available for months. If you're patient, you can turn it up with your own Google search.

Let's just set aside the fact that the text does not justify the headline - that if the journalists had been "starved," they wouldn't be able to describe their situations, in that they'd be dead. And let's set aside that their comments, presuming that that they're accurate at all, are...

Speaking of innocent casualties... BAGHDAD BUTCHER By RALPH PETERS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 2, 2003 -- We may wonder, in fairness, how those heroic Europeans who have taken to the rhetorical barricades in defense...

Speaking of children... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/from_our_own_correspondent/2058253.stm Saturday, 22 June, 2002, 11:26 GMT 12:26 UK Iraq's tortured children ...The star witness against the government of Iraq hobbled into the room, her legs braced with clumsy metal callipers...

Yes, it was a perfect time, wasn't it? The good old days - when the glorious Soviet Union was around to spread peace, justice, freedom, and totally non-outrageous behavior around the globe. Dudes, you're arguing with a guy who thinks the end of the Cold War was a bad thing - possibly...

You've previously given the impression that you're too young to have undergone some great philosophical awakening or transformation. Your comments - such as the ones I mentioned in my post - consistently display immaturity, a lack of seriousness and perspective that would be somewhat easier to...

Huge point for you, msfe. US intelligence sources believe that the helicopters purchased by Iraq were among those used against the Kurds. I already conceded the possibility in my original statement. I also added that there were other places where Iraq could also have gotten helicopters...

It SHOULD. Sad thing about human beings, though, is how stubbornly they can cling to their biases, prejudices, and self-interest despite the evidence right in front of their faces, and despite the harm their actions do to other people. Or are you amazed that people who've been around the...

Now where do you get ideas like this? Among other things, you've just eliminated all of the refugees and exiles who've returned to Afghanistan, and you seem to be implying that you believe the Taliban-Al Qaeda terror regime offered any hope to Afghanistan, whose oppressed population was on the...

No. The brief period during which the US aided the Iraqis against Iran, mainly with intelligence, came during the late '80s, when Iraq appeared to be the verge of a catastrophic defeat. The Israelis bombed the Osirac reactor in 1981. I am not aware that the US sold helicopters to Iraq...

Excuse the long cut and paste - and from THE GUARDIAN of all places - but I thought you'd find this interesting, considering your interest in the psychological angle - it also has some comments extremely relevant to the topic of this thread. Also, her theme may seem contradictory to yours, but...

I'm not French, but I was tempted to vote for Iraq, as Iraq is likely to be the greatest beneficiary of a coalition military victory.

What you lack.

By JAMES TARANTO 'In Our Hearts We Feel Something Else' The myth of pro-Saddam Iraqi "nationalism" gets a good debunking from an unlikely source: the Arab News. The English-language Saudi paper has a "unembedded" reporter, Essam Al-Ghalib, in southern Iraq, and his interviews with the locals...

I'm quite familiar with the field of epistemology. If you are incapable of forthrightly answering my simple questions, then you have been studying so much that you have forgotten how to be a human being. And if you think Saddam's regime is acting with "conscience," they you are using a...

Check again in around five years to see whether the situation in Iraq has a true "Vietnam feel." We never invaded North Vietnam, with the stated goal of removing Ho, while putting Hanoi under threat. In addition, Iraq, unlike North Vietnam, has no major source of re-supply, nor any...
