How would you or I know that "people" are angry? Were people really that incensed about the Trent Lott comment, or was it selective media coverage and editorializing? Were 290 million people really so captivated by Elian Gonzalez as to require a two-month 24/7 media circus, or was the media...

my question was perhaps based on this type of statement - but if it was assuming too much, then I recind it completely: I did not take offense at your essay. go back and read my post. I took offense at the anti-semitic material. I did not say to ask al qaeda. That is ridiculous. As you...

Dear Mr. Surfer, As a reward for searching for such topics, you will be receiving a call from your friendly neighborhood IRS auditor shortly. Sincerely, Carnivore :D

uhh... now the war is about the "economy" :confused: ------------- LAMEST EXCUSE YET FOR WAR Jan. 5, 2003 LINDA MCQUAIG ... This is only the latest twist in the U.S. president's struggle to come up with the top 10 reasons for invading Iraq — or at least one reason that stands up...

:D excellent, hapaboy - very entertaining essay. however it doesn't answer the question - exactly what did happen? I've heard different interpretations - from the neocon iraqi-as-babykiller/serialrapist/incarnation-of-satan extreme to the other extreme of iraq's own claim that they had...

I agree, and also wish you good luck. Make sure to stop in and let us know how it's going... :cool:

agreed - excellent posts. from a longterm macro-level investment perspective, besides gold.... anyone care to share their thoughts?

there are free satellite images online with resolutions high enough to spot individual people on the street. God knows what the defense dept has access to. The US regular military is over a million strong. The defense budget is in the hundreds of billions, and who knows how many billions to...

have to wonder whether there'd be such excitement if Jenna and Barb were assigned to the first invasion unit...

Excellent reference :cool: and illustrative -- the theory seems to depend on equating saddam (and all arabs?) with Sauron: a single-minded, irrational personification of evil. Something that has means and a singular goal: to destroy the US, at any and all costs. Problem is, we haven't...

For anyone really interested in this and into reading a long (but interesting) historical study of US nuclear strategy from the 40's to the late 80's, I recommend "The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy" by Freedman. He presents some excellent perspective and rationale behind the decisions on...

I would recommend that mocking another's view is not conducive to persuasion. Perhaps it indicates a strength of conviction in one's own argument. I note that you did not say WHY we should not ask the Iranians. Perhaps it is because they are all fanatics, as you said above. (wonder whether...

I understand your valid point about a present threat... one thing that seems unclear is: if saddam had these weapons since the 80's, why the urgency now? as an aside-- A gives weapons to B B uses them on C now if A is saddam, then A is a terrorist. but if A is the USA, then what is...

:D great line.

But isn't the neocon position that al qaeda hates "freedom" and "prosperity"? Why aren't free and prosperous Europeans also threatened?

December 30, 2002 Inspecting the Pregnant Woman, Arresting Her Husband We all know that airport security is extremely important -- we must protect our airways (and, by extension, our buildings) from terrorists. Sometimes airport security inspections go too far, however. Nicholas Monahan has...

Have you read the other posts in this thread? Maybe they don't bother to express their opinions to someone who will attack them for not agreeing?

nice job aphie :) also: bra, bras, brass care, cares, caress guess these were too easy... the other two were ok, but I couldn't come up with anything at all on this singular/plural one without looking at the solution.
