Mikael,

You don't find the possibility of thousands to tens of thousands US servicemen and women and tens of
thousands to hundreds of thousands Iraqis getting killed in a needless war of US Imperialism to be
humorous? What a dour humorless person you are. It must be the cold Danish winter rain affecting
your mood.

Scott,

It is interesting to note that the term you used, "paedophile pervert Scott Ritter" is the exact
words used by several rightwing [1] websites according to a Google search, including the less common
spelling of "paedophile" instead of "pedophile".

[1] I refuse to discredit the term conservative.

Mikael,

Someone I know in the Chicagoland area is expecting what I believe to be a sibling of your new
arrival sometime this spring.

By the way, the gram is a unit of mass, not force (weight).

Unless, of course, you're a Kurd protesting about the proposed destruction of your home by the
building of a dam. Then you can pick one of the following options:

1. Imprisonment and torture
2. er, there is no number two

TURKEY – EUROPE’S TOP TORTURERS Turkey’s record on human rights is not great. The Turkish government
are not big on consulting with minorities such as the Kurds affected by the Ilisu dam. They have the
worst human rights record in Europe, with the most number of cases heard by the European Court of
Human Rights (ECHR). The ECHR have stated that torture is “endemic” and “state policy” in the south
east region of the country. Amnesty International describe torture as “widespread” nationwide.

Mikael,

The Metric System was replaced by the International System of Units (SI) in 1960. Therefore, you are
only 43 years out of date.

Oh Yeah In Canada some of the people are on the Imperial system, some are on the Metric system, U.S.
measures, British measures, Canadian measures and all together nobody knows what the hell is going
on anymore. Famous case was the U.S. Passenger Jet that refuelled in Quebec, thought they got
gallons of fuel and got Metric Litres and the jet did a nose dive into Manitoba...2400 miles shy of
their destination. And cooking...sheesh, you need a calculator and a computer to bake a cake now,
the recipe is Imperial American, the packaging in Canada is U.S. or Canadian Imperial and Canadian
Metric, you convert back and forth and hope the cake resembles a cake.

Canada went Metric because we had a Prime Minister (Trudeau) who saw Europe had gone Metric and he
was convinced the U.S.A. was about to go Metric as well....what a moron.

I think people in the U.S. mainly fear that the metric system is another f***ed up system like they
have now, instead of all being base 10. They stop listening before they even hear the good parts.
Its a lot easier using metric wrenches. "Let's see, 9/16 is too small so I guess the next size up is
nineteen-thirty-seconds but a 5/8 doesn't fit, so...hey it's a 15mm metric after all!"

Dave:

No "unless." The level of political and civil freedom in the Middle East, except for Israel, is
abyssmal. The fact that Turkey is the most free doesn't mean they're "home free."

(4 on political, 5 on civil freedom and 58th percentile on freedom of the press, where a
higher number is bad and the scale is 1 to 7 for the indices. This is the top of the heap,
except for Israel.)

The point is that since they're clearly moving in the right direction, and are already at the head
of that rather backward class, the notion that we use our military to impose some sort of change on
them is ridiculous. In fact, what the Middle East may need, and what some liberal minded citizens of
the Trucial Coast think they need, is an Arab Kemal Attaturk.

By the way, it was the Anatolian Kurds acting as agents of the Turkish government that carried out
the first genocide of the 20th Century on the Armenians.

I wouldn't know about that. I just figured the spelling "pedophile" might be construed as a foot
fetishist.

Unless you are one of the Palestinian Arabs the Likud party wishes to ethnically cleanse from the
entire region west of the Jordan River.

According to Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld, the coming Iraq disarmament/regime change/liberation _will_ be
over in a matter of months, if not weeks, if not days. Then the oil grab, er... building of
democratic society can begin.

Paul

 

[Freewheeling]

Paul:

The theory that this is about some "oil grab" is just soft-headed rubbish. We aren't excluded from
oil contracts with Iraq. Indeed, we can establish very favorable terms with them as specified by
Saddam's son Uday recently, in marked contrast to the possibilities in Libya and Iran, where US oil
interests are excluded entirely. So if the "oil grab" theory had any merit at all, we're attacking
the wrong country.

Bottom line: It's about security, pure and simple. What's more, that's obvious to anyone with an
objective perspective.

I guess it is pretty hard to defend the indefensible - better to just insult anyone who
points it out.
