The EEOC form has a RACE column: Wherever that form travels is not my business.
Some forms read such as:
WHITE: BLACK: LATIN AMERICAN CAUCASIAN: ASIAN: SOUTH EAST ASIAN: MIDDLE EATSRERN? GOON? GOAN?
And may be sometime in the near FUTURE after the remanants of the middle east is all tied and done we will have arisen up to be barbarians.
Good one ! The Middle East is awaiting with bated (as in scared) breath for Bush to strike a nation more than 50% of which is children. Sometimes it does look like America is the biggest liar and barbarian on earth.
1. They call themselves democratic and then they don't even count votes
2. They say they are going to attack Iraq because it poses a threat to America with it's weapons of mass destruction. Iraq a threat to America ? For Christ's sake couldn't they have found a more credible excuse ? And who has weapons of mass destruction - America or Iraq ?
3. They say they want to rid the Iraqi people of their tyrant when in actual fact they are more worried about replacing the 1945 treaty with Saudi Arabia which gave them virtual monopoly over Saudi oilfieds and which is expected to expire in 2005. The Iraqi oil reserves (second biggest in the world and amounting to 17% of the world oil reserves) is what attracts them more than the Iraqi people.
4. They say they want to reconstruct Iraq after they have destroyed it but they really want American companies to benefit to the tune of $80 billion which is what the cost of reconstruction is put at.
5. They say they want to get rid of terrorism and then give aid to a country which houses the biggest terrorists of the world, which masterminded the Sep 11 attacks, which has weapons of mass destruction, and which has time and again threatened to use these weapons of mass destruction.
And plenty more. But with the war over our head anytime now in the Middle East, there is nothing more to say. After all, will France and the rest of the world go to the extent of putting sanctions on America, or countering it's Iraqi attack with an attack against America ?
Wonder what Portugal's stand on the Iraqi war is ? Are they with America like Spain and Britain or are they with France ? I must say I have not bothered to find this out until now but it would be interesting to know.
