I don't agree that FULL METAL JACKET was an "anti-war movie." It evoked the experience of a particular war from the perspective of a deeply conflicted individual Marine, and certainly included many subversive observations on human nature in general and America in Vietnam in particular, but I...

FP, Your reaction. in the form of misdirected firepower, is exactly what the Saddamites and their international allies would like best. We can, should, and will still look for surrenders, and maybe act more cautious. If such ruses are the best that the true believing Saddamities can come...

Yeah, I'm sure they had some leftover props from Three Kings, and probably the old contact list for extras and walk-ons.

Do you have a point, or are you just being impertinent, as usual? Answer to question 1: Saddam's scientists received anthrax spores from the same private facility in the US that used to supply it to researchers worldwide. Upon gaining the know-how, moderately skilled researchers can culture...

It could be that the Iraqis really are rolling over, that they really have recognized that we're on their side, and that we really did score a major hit on the leadership - destabilizing it even if we didn't kill SH and his sons. On the other hand, though the early signs do seem good, it's...

Winning every time would really take the fun out of it for me. Maybe if you could throw in at least an occasional losing trade, or, better, an occasional losing streak, I'd think about it, but, until then, I guess I'm not really that interested.

Lee Harris has recently published an essay that attempts to address issues such as those brought up by Soros head on. It's a long essay, some may find it difficult, and others will no doubt take notions and ideas out of context, but, for those willing to make the effort, it's very much worth...

Many aspects of Mohammed's biography that are here being presented as facts would very likely be disputed by other people, even before any attempt to adjust for historical and cultural context. Still, more than the other great religions, Islam is identified with a prophet who was a warrior and...

And here's one example of the approach adopted by "Europe's #1 weekly political magazine." http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/inhalt/0,1518,grossbild-242831-,00.html I'm not sure from where the editors derived the title phrase, which translates, or perhaps re-translates, approximately as "On a...

Empty, totally hypocritical article. Including numerous transparently ideological assertions paraded as facts, along with the usual distortions, exaggerations, and half-truths - apparently part 2 even repeats the definitively debunked claim that Iran, not Iraq, was responsible for gassing the...

<quote><b>"They have reached their decision, to isolate and damage the United States as much as possible, and grant Saddam a pass. They don't want to know about anything that doesn't advance their argument, just as the appeasers of Hitler in a former generation did not want to know."...

Actually, I believe Carter's administration was the first US administation to tilt toward and begin to arm Saddam, as part of the readjustment of US policy following the revolution in Iran. Previously to Carter, Iraq was seen mainly as a Soviet client. (It was around the same time, of course...

He did nothing against the Lakers last Friday night to shake the "can't do it when it counts" knock, and, against Sac, even though he went for a career high rebounding, Troy Hudson was the one who had to take (and miss) potentiall decisive shots at the end of regulation and overtime. I guess...

Many years... but Sacramento used to be a perennial laughingstock, too. And now Golden State, another organizaton that seemed hopeless, has shown some potential. Even the Nuggets may reach respectability by next season, or maybe the season after that. The Clippers are a nightmare, however...
