Reply to Questions for the anti-war people in Current Events JoeUser Forums

first, theres a substantial gulf between anti-war and anti-ill-conceived-attempted-regime-change-in-iraq-debacle but here goes. 'industrial death factory' is a bit too euphemistic a description for for places like buchenwald, auschwitz, treblinka, etc. britain is as culpable as france--if not more so--as far as subjugation of arab lands. we've not yet surpassed the brit record for ridiculously poor administration of iraq, but not for lack o

as a compromise, it could probably be made to work. having said that (and, thanks to sarah, no longer needing to mention that suspiciously freudian homonym thing), i'm wondering if: a. i've just been wandering around in a daze and somehow managed to overlook the gay-rainbow connection? b.) are those jews, christians and muslims who maintain a spiritual (and in some cases, genetic) descent from noah cool with relinquishing his symbol ? c.) the 'r

AMAZING information from falloujah in Current Events JoeUser Forums

an article in saturday's la times (4/7/04) headlined fallouja's fighters trade weapons, not allegiances , staff writer alissa j. rubin focused on the us-sanctioned fallouja brigade which was forming up as insurgents donned uniforms they worn as soldiers in the pre-invasion iraqi and prepared to serve once again under orders from several of saddams former

"I am amazed at the amount of a) "innocent" men being put to death" amazed? a more appropriate response would be appalled. texas inverts blackstone's precept to hold it: 'better that 10 innocent men suffer than one guilty man go free" since the reintroduction of the death penalty , texas has executed 300+ inmates (nearly three times more than any other state and nearly 1/3 of all us executions even tho only 7.5% of the us po

What if the prisoners leveled charges against us? bremer issued a series of operational orders shortly after taking office right after the conclusion of the invasion. one of those--order 17--immunizes coalition forces against allegations or investigations by iraqis. in effect, the only charges against american troops would have to be initiated by us soldiers or their allies in arms.

i scooped 60 minutes...sorta in Current Events JoeUser Forums

last nite (4/9/04), the cbs news magazine '60 minutes' broacast two segments that qualify (in my opinion) as 'must viewing' for americans (id also recommend them to the rest of the world, of course). one of them was a profile of hugh thompson, the heroic helicopter pilot who--with the support of his 2 crew members--put himself in harm's way to stop a 1968

focusing on one aspect or one party involved in this or any other collaborative event--especially one so complex, outrageous and potentially volatile as this--is a time-tested journalistic technique. after rereading the original post, i can't see why anyone would conclude you're assessing relative culpability. let my workers run a muck after all, I did not tell to to run a muck hopefully the quotee takes time to ensure those e

actually that wasnt a news program. those werent reporters. it was live coverage of congressional hearings to determine why no one incongress found out about this matter until a story about it appeared on 60 minutes 2 a week earlier. some members were upset because the defense department has been investigating the problem since the beginning of the year. rumsfeld was testifying to senators in the morning. in the afternoon there was ano

my first reaction to this was to take it a bit less than seriously. i kept wondering why you found it so distressing so when i saw the title again i decided to take another look. ive been close to more than a few women whose sexual histories are similar in that each of them began sleeping with guys at about 15 motivated by a determination not to lose another boyfriend or to feel more popular/accepted.. ive also been close to an almost equal

there may not be a french word similar to un-american in construction, but if i understood what ive read about the proposal to disallow clothing or symbols unique to particular religious beliefs in schools, there may be a similar concept. is it accurate to conclude the basis of that proposal is a belief that citizens of france are french first, then members of whatever church or religious belief system they claim? im not positive that rumsfe

that kind of thing is why i love the simpsons so much and also why it's possible to watch simpson reruns to almost to infinity. it's truly amazing how many things are packaged in each episode. another aspect i really admire is how they're able to slide dialogue through that might prompt fox to pull the plug on a show with 'real' people speaking the same lines..

it's almost too obvious that she did. while the primary speaking parts in most drive-in flicks about helpless women behind bars or domanitrices cracking the whip as commanders of prisons are delivered in thick hick drawls or in commanding teutonic tones, thats also a stereotype. an amusing stereotype to be sure, but i think lynndie could just as easily been the product of soccer parents and a graduate of momandapplepie heights hs. lust of

my sardonic assessment of pfc england's irresistable sexual power posted as a comment to muggaz' paen to cheerleaders and schoolgirls in uniform may not be terribly far off the mark afterall. in that event, muggaz' response--speculating she must have been on the powertrip of a lifetime--is even closer. although i find nothing about bdsm appealing, there are a substantial number of devotees/advocates of what they call " the 'lifestyle". her f
