I agree. We just don't have enough information. Who knows if there even is a war in Iraq? We might be arguing our asses off over a few explosions filmed in a studio or produced entirely on a computer. One last thing, right now I wish I were like you.

Very true, except for one point: Are you sure the specific people you are talking to were cruel enough to make childen?

Very pragmatic advice! I personally think the world would be a better place if more people DID care when others are killed. But that's a moot point, since the world will never be a nice place. It's an arena of genes battling each other with tools like humans. Not more, not less.

That is true, and it is also not an act of terrorism to kill Saddam's daughter by accident. But what the US did was send bombs to homes for one reason only, namely that Saddam's daughters were thoght to be located there, not Saddam himself. He was supposed to be in the other facility, which...

The intelligent ones are. The majority follows out of enthusiasm.

I was tempted to make a comment about your vocabulary, but you illustrate why people like Osama do what they do: It's because that seemingly was the only way to alert people like you to a great injustice that has been going on for decades.

I will be ashamed for saying that as soon as you explain to me how Saddam's daughters are not innocent and not civilians. They are women in a country where according to US media not even men have lots of freedoms. What crimes did his daughters commit? If you explain that, I will concede that...

Hitlers don't have much to do with situations like these. It's "we the people" who make it all possible. Do you think Saddam could have had all those people killed if he didn't have his followers to execute his orders? Do you think Hitler killed millions of people? Of course not, it's guys...

And like rs7 insinuated, it might have something to do with the weapon they call music.

Honestly, you have just solved a problem that I have been having since yesterday: I was wondering: Americans have weapons of mass destruction, Iraqis (probably) have weapons of mass destruction. Americans have a president, Iraqis have a president. Our president calls their president a liar...

Not only do I agree with you, but I believe you worded it just right. I don't think your post will face opposition on this board, yet you bring your point across quite clearly.

I was going to say exactly that, but then I thought about it a little more, and it's not really democracy in the American sense that makes people like those dangerous. Nazi Germany wasn't a "democracy", but it was working so well because the masses were behaving just like Compisnada & Co...

I have no idea whether or not hypocisy is the reason for his change of mind. But I wouldn't find it hard to believe that he simply changed his mind. I kind of changed mine in the course of the last few months. First I thought the United States was a great country holding lots of...

Sounds to me like you are describing the very reason why most traders can't make money trading Nasdaq anymore. You have to be extremely fast in addition to extremely good.

They "new" better. The terrorists were targetting those women's homes because of their family relationship, not because they thought Saddam would be there.

The reason why the US equity markets like this war so much is that all the costs (plus interest, finance charges, convenience fees, standard crippling balloon payment, etc, etc, etc) will be paid of by the Iraqi people by means of their oil as a small token of gratitude. All those natural...

So which kind is more responsible for evil on earth? Those who stage the slaughter or the illiterate masses for whom it is staged?

They say they bombed the president's daughters' homes yesterday. Looks like terrorism really is the future of war.

These past few days have left little doubt that nearly all people are "monsters". So I guess we shouldn't really call them that. Simply "human" will suffice.

My guess is the people who short stocks now are the same ones who went long technology stocks in late 2000.
