Since the pen is allways mighter than the sword,philosophy,reason and knowdlege will prevail in the end,even if there's only a few of us left seeking wisdom but wearing rags.
Our "emperor" Bush,will be long gone and remember by history as a megalomaniac dictator that he is.All you have to do is sit back,relax and watch it unraveling.
History teaches us that have been and will be many,many changes... but nothing is ever any different.

I fear that may not happen. All this power that is being given to Bush is also being given to the office of president. Our freedoms and liberties are being threatened in the name of national security. We need to examine why these countries hate us rather than continue on this course we are taking of being the big brother of the world.
As to Saddam, the fact is is that its too late to avert intervention, if he is allowed to continue to produce these weapons then he will use them on the free countries of the world and possibly us.

Indeed, I just sent jdean33442@ditech.com an email explaining that he is not the only one that can find things out about people.
Of course, I would not do such things. I leave such sleazy admissions of intellectual defeat to the true simpletons.

"NPR is one of the largest liberal rags in existence. My assumptions were correct. You WERE listening to liberal propaganda. Accept it or not."
Just one last observation:
As I made PERFECTLY CLEAR, the ONLY thing I gleaned form the NPR piece was the fact (yes, it is a FACT) that Bush read off a litany of supposed atrocities committed by Hussein.
It is true that he did read off such a list. Therefore, as that was the only piece of information that I mentioned form the NPR piece, it could not possibly have been propaganda, 'libral' or otherwise.
So, no, I do not accpet any such thing. To do so would be too Orwellian for me. I leave blind acceptance of falsehoods to the right.

My email is public because I allow it be published on the forum. Not a great accomplishment on your part.

I think that convincing the large majority of the population of the U.S., of the allies of the U.S., of the Islamic world, and of the world as a whole, of the justness of the war, is essential to the U.S. administration's winning any war against Iraq, and/or against terrorism.
If the U.S. does go to war against Irag, it, of course, will come out on top militarily. But without the above mentioned majority support of the various populations, it will have lost the larger war.
Winning an unjust war, or even a perceived unjust war, is not really winning the war.
The terrorism alert level in the U.S. was recently downgraded from orange to yellow (less perceived danger). This is considered a good thing. One thing that will get the terrorism alert level back up, to the top red level no less, is the U.S.'s starting the new Iraq war.
Not only might the previously perceived terrorist threats become active, but George may discover new threats showing up.
The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is a matter of perspective.
The difference between a just leader and a war criminal is a matter of which side wins the war.
As I see it, George W. and associates are setting themselves up, to go down in history as being perceived as being some of the greatest war criminals ever. That is because it seems that they are about to win the small war, but loose the greater war.

Oh my...
Coming from you, that hurts so much.
I guess you didn't realise - or more likely, didn't care - that my 'tantrum' was in response to, among other things, that tower of intellect and integrity 'jdean' calling me an ass.
Of course, I notice that, as is usually the case with conservatives, you could not actually produce any specifics. Just the typical braod based aspersion casting.
Another mental midget goes into the ignore pile...

For - what is it now, the 5th or 6th time? - the only thing I mentioned from the NPR piece (as wel as other sources) was Bush's mention of these atrocities supposedly committed by Hussein.
Which Bush did do.
Which NPR reported.
Where is the bias?
I suppose, of course, that Rush, Ollie, Mike, etc. ONLY report unbiased truths, right?

The majority of US citizens believe the war is just. As for our allies, it depends on what you define US allies as. Saudi Arabia is considered an ally, however, the country is anti-american. Just as in life, there are friends and then there are associates.

Terrorist attacks have been planned long before we announced our intention to go to war with Iraq. Cowardice out of fear is exactly what terrorism spawns. An attack (attempted or successful) against the US is imminent.
quote:
The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is a matter of perspective.
Attacking US civilians on it's soil is not freedom fighting regardless of perspective. It was an act of aggression towards us. The USS Cole bombinb can be construed as an act of freedom fighting (although not in my eyes).
quote:
The difference between a just leader and a war criminal is a matter of which side wins the war.
I agree and disagree with you on this. An immoral crime is still a crime regardless of who wins. The crime will go unnoticed though if the criminals are the victors, however, it is still a criminal act. The connotation of your statement bugs me though. Are you suggesting US generals commited the same scope of crimes as did Japan's and Germany's?

Yes it is. I was hoping you would catch on by now. I'll explain it for you. I stated you gleaned the information from some liberal media source. Which was obvious by the tone of your post. You proved me right. Thank you very much liberal genius.
Was that cookie cutter enough for you?

This is irrelevant. We were commenting on your liberal media hangouts. For the record I don't read/listen to any of the above (I have no idea who "Mike" is). Of course your little closed hypocritical mind believes all conservatives listen to Rush and have NRA bumper stickers. What other stereotypes do you believe in?
