Q: Who's self-proclaimed hero is Joseph Stalin?

What did your (and Canada, I will admit) country do to Native Americans?

Stole it from the Indians (and gave them that awful name, too).  In Canada
the French stole it fom the Indians, and then had the brits steal it from
them (who went on to steal the rest of it from the Indians).  Oh, and who's
self-proclaimed hero is Joe Steel?


Sanctimonious BS.  "He who is without sin..."  Your self proclaimed American
heros committed atrocities as well, but you glorify them.  A quick example
of "Americanisms"--Benedict Arnold--a hero to the British, a very very bad
man to the Americans.  Is amazing how history gets written.

And apparently re-written in Canada: Arnold was not liked by the British.
Who likes a traitor, especially one that acted out of such petty reasons?
If you are right and I'm wrong (Arnold is a hero to the brits) than I'm
afraid that reflects badly on the brits, not us.  :-)




This impending war is and always has been with the *regime* that oppresses the
people of Iraq, not with the people of Iraq.  It goes forward only because SH
refuses to relinquish power.  Short of assassination, it is the only way to get
rid of him.  It ends when he is deposed.  Period.

I like that--first its give up the weapons, then it's to liberate Iraq, and
now its to get rid of SH and introduce democracy--trying to find a good
'nuff reason to appease the masses?

Throw enough against the wall and hope that some of it sticks.  Bush changes
his tune every week.



I believe we will be *thanked* by the people of Iraq for liberating them from
the brutal tyranny under which they have been existing.  With the God-given
natural resources at their disposal, Iraq has the means to becoming a shining
star for Democracy and Freedom in the Middle East.

Wow John, You actually believe this?  Like Afganistan?

Japan certainly hasn't, so I don't expect Iraq to do so.

(...) Thus far none have been released, and none would have been released if there was no war. They may have been found by the inspectors, if given the time needed, and even if not--you let a tiger roam around, you may not get attecked--you back him (...)
