Doesn't fit into that little world they've created for themselves.


And you believe the American propaganda about the Iraq war?

I just love questions like that. They're so ... open-minded and fair. (drip

Truth hurts, huh Sjoerd?


But lies fabricated by US propaganda don't.

Gets in the way of your incessant America-bashing,
but, that's OK, you can still hate America and Americans if you like.


I don't hate Americans or America. I hate the war mongering mafia that is
currently running your country.

Really? Where do you get that idea from?



Here ya go, Ace:

There is plenty more to google if you so desire....


I suspect this is about as far from reality as it was in Vietnam.



What does the present situation in Iraq have to do with Vietnam?

Let's face it Mr. Devil - you'd sell your soul to see Saddam back in power,
wouldn't you?

That kind of brain dead argument sounds like the 1950s. "You're
against the invasion, it must be because you love Saddam Hussein."
Right out of McCarthy and from a time when the average American wasn't
very welll educated.

How do you know?



Don't play dumb, Sjoerd. There have been a number of polls conducted in
Iraq, and GASP!/ plenty of Iraqis approve of the fact that Coalition
troops are there. They want us out eventually, but believe it or not there
are actually GASP!/ Iraqis who are glad that Saddam is gone....

Of course I know you'll dismiss any such poll results out - of - hand,
preferring to believe that Evil Zionists or some of your other ideological
bogeymen cooked the results. No surprise from someone who thinks that the
old DDR and Romania were nice places, or that the there was really no moral
difference between the old Communist East Bloc and the West :-)

Oh, were *you* one of those illiterate students mentioned in that 1950's

And they'll be glad until the day they die. It's too bad the elitists

are
too
smug to take the feelings of the Iraqis into consideration.


I have seen many, many demonstrations of unhappy Iraqis asking for jobs,
security, and stability. Most of them are glad Saddam is gone, but are not
happy with the present occupation by foreign forces.



Of course they aren't, silly - it's rather difficult to to turn a place like
Iraq into a place like Switzerland or New Zealand in the short space of a
year. And when were foreign occupation forces welcome, really, in any
country (aside from isolated examples like post - war West Berlin)?

Have *you* any *better* suggestions, or do you simply prefer carping?

The failure to turn up Saddam's weapons of mass destruction is being
called a
stunning intelligence failure. But the far more startling intelligence
blunder may turn out to be the Bush administration's decision not to
spotlight reams of compelling evidence tying Iraq to 9/11.



It is not the failure to turn up the weapons which was the massive
intelligence failure. The failure has been in believing that we had
evidence that they existed in the first place! It is not surprising that
other 'evidence' involving Iraq is more likely to be suspect than
'compelling'.

But on the other hand, you are not full of hate for America, as Sjoerd

is.

You are just too funny, Binyamin.

But, you aren't. Not funny, ha-ha, anyway. KM
