QUOTE]Quote from KymarFye: Maybe. Or maybe he can just hate himself and his own country so much that he remains blind to the evil he's implicitly supporting. again, supporting dictators and radical policy shifts of preemptive war are distinct. one may oppose the dictator and...

can a marcher hate the Iraqi people? that the operation is successful implies that opposing it is wrong? must admit they have done a very good spin job - they have succeeded in large part in blending the distinct issues of 'liberation' of oppressed people and American-funded preemptive war...

the amount of 'new' hatred created by this operation is unclear, but it certainly doesn't help matters. it seems absurd to say that this operation reduced the potential for al qaeda-style terrorism - which seems confirmed by the adminamedia's recent shift in spin, to a war of 'liberation'...

wtf are you talking about? this isn't a boardgame. many Americans died in this campaign. little Iraqi girls had their intestines splattered against walls. anti-Americanism has never been worse, anti-American terrorism is no less likely. one can only assume that the phantom 'wmd' are...

Hawaii May Become First State to Publicly Oppose Patriot Act Kavan Peterson - Stateline.org - Apr 03, 2003 -- HONOLULU -- Hawaii's Legislature is debating a nonbinding resolution that condemns sweeping new federal powers to fight terrorism and urges state and local officials to avoid any...

sounds like the diplomatic disaster created by the administration and its chickenhawk advisors.... if they had only played the system intelligently and maturely, there could have been a favorable solution to this, global support and participation in the financing. instead they went the...

I asked first....:p I'd really like to understand it myself......

why?

yes, this point makes sense. OTOH, waiting to see what happens once Baghdad is breached -- if saddam has them, he may be saving them for the final battle, or maybe to use them within a more confined space when the US forces are more concentrated. if he doesn't use them there, then the case...

well they can try, but would it be legitimate? at least, it's something that would have probably been illegitimate in the past. now that such a policy has been adopted by the administration, it's not as clear.
