Hey I was a troll before... I feel bad for the guy... no matter how delusional...
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Nice help. You could of said... you made a typo. Not call him an embarassment. Sure his political views are dumb... but don't be so harsh on the poor guy. I was kinda like him before...

I didn't say that.
Again, I didn't say that. Try being a little more aware of the entire post.

Okay, whatever I am not going to argue with you.
That is all I'm asking, since I didn't write those posts.

And I've red them already, without understanding.

It says "ALONG WITH THE 500, 000 CASUALTIES (by Zylka)," "Another response from Zylka....," and "More response from Zylka."
So, now do you know who wrote them?

Oh, and I could point out that china has one of the fastest growing economies in the world and is considered by many to be the ULTIMATE candidate for "superpower" status......But I'm a nice guy, so I won't

Lets condence the report to the basic facts:
In march 1998, Iraqi agents approached Al Qaeda and then had a meeting. The Iraqis think it went werll and talk about inviting Osama, then........NOTHING.
Did a second meeeting ever occur? Did any sort of relation crop up? Any evidence that Iraq ever gave any material or intelligence support to Al Qaeda?
The argument pre-war was that Iraq would give WMD's to Al Qaeda to use vs the US: does this paper imrpove this basic argument in any real way? I say, no.
I totally agree that this story is relatively minor. However, its relevance is that it is a sign of things to come.
Think about this document in the context of how it was recovered. Considering that this was apparently found among a mishmash of files they quickly tossed in a bag so they could get out of there, just imagine what will be found when a more thorough search is performed.
I'll graciously take the Ruski's ignorant hand in explaining the specifics as well:
A – With twice as many speaking Mandarin than English today, care to look up how that ranks financially? Oh wait, that's right! China is one of the aforementioned DIRTHOLES full of million large slums of peasants speaking your precious mandarin to barter for filthy cigarettes, rice, rotting oranges, and any tattered hand me downs the western charity bin offers. If it's been a good week, it's then off to the dump to pick through several hours of trash in search of a nice corrugated sheet of aluminum to take home as a new addition to the roof! Useless, or not? I know my class of business sees this a waste of time, but would care to hear whether or not it feeds a Russian contently?
With China's recent performance, the established superpower predictions have been pushed back well beyond our own lifetime, and that's if they don't in any way f*ck up big - which the Chinese and any state even labeled communist seems prone to doing. Bottom line, China will never lead the world like the US does today – and many are beginning to admit that they won't ever hold the top spot, period. Even the EU would be uniform enough an organization to challenge US supremacy well before. In any case, keep your Mandarin if it so serves your litchi nut craving on a hot smoggy day in downtown Shanghai.
B – Arabic is currently growing only to a near plateau due to the general availability of sustainable environments in this region. Given what a poor, human rights abusing side of the world it is anyway - I can't even begin to fathom your suggestion that it holds any relative importance (other than an aid to whatever flavor of the month war we're fighting).
So I'll break the above down into points you need to remember
1. Mandarin is useless, has spread only to urban emigrant pockets - and will die constrained in its home region
2. Arabic is useless, has spread near nowhere – and will die constrained in its home region even faster
3. Due to Imperial establishment, Spanish continues to grow in numerous regions and will continue to do so
4. Due to Imperial establishment, today's wide international lead in business and institutional acceptance, and extended room for increasing populous - English will continue to grow in numerous regions and always be of most importance
Meaning poor little Tass has no savior to knock his mutherland's victor off the top linguistic spot. It will stay that way at least for the rest of our lives – SO I DEEM THEE WORTHLESS FOREVER!!!
