I suspect that at the point the US ceases and desists in Iraq, the Bush administration will have accomplished the following:
- non-USA population on the planet nearly 100% anti-USA (take mind there's a lot more of them than us) - al-Qaeda recruitment healthy and strong for the foreseeable future - numerous dead/dismembered in every USA and Iraqi community - a few hundred billion transferred from current and future generations of US taxpayers into the pockets of Halliburton etc shareholders. Having said that, I sure wonder why Arto (nice guy he seems to be) is all broke up over USA exercise of hegemony, yet he shares with us zero concern about: - genocide in Darfur - uncontrolled nuclear proliferation in developing countries - worldwide, sustained increase in fossil fuel-based economies - state-sanctioned torture and summary execution commonly practiced in countless authoritarian regimes - worldwide advocacy and prosecution of Islamic jihad against US, western Europe, Russia, and incidental other parties - wholesale sexual enslavement of women happening at this moment in every continent on the planet (except maybe Antarctica) - faith-based armageddon simmering in south Asia - pending socioeconomic catastrophe in Russia - systematic elimination of Tibetan national identity and culture OK I'll stop now -----Original Message----- From: Roman Turovsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 06, 2004 6:07 PM To: The Other; Arto Wikla; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: I am sorry... > We have many core tenets or beliefs in the Midwest.

Concentrate on local Mormons, before going overseas. Stamp out rampant wife-swapping clubs in the South. Ditto Appalachian incest. Aren't most bestiality websites American? It Iraq goats get eaten before they are subjected to indignities. The rumor has it that there is at least one lutenist who is dangerous to nucular families of Indiana. > I consider keeping your word, once it's given, as > civilized behavior. What if the word given was "I'll kick your a....."? I mean "I'll kick your Venere".

So you consider killing UNRELATED women and children civilized when the opponent refuses to reason with you...... Nice......
