The belgians have been too busy comitting genocide in the Congo to focus on their children.

what genocide are you talking about?

[Dinner]

I wouldn't call Leopold's adventures in Congo an act of Genocide (that has become the trendy term that everyone bandies about to try to paint their opponents black) but neither was it a very humane exercise.

Is that scene real? I recall reading something that the US flew in the Iraqi opposition to pull down statues of Saddam in front of the camera...

What? Black is a word in the English language and it is traditionally used in snetences like this even before the American colonization and slavery.

"Oh I thought that Belgium was nuetral Lancer? Are you telling us that they are not the epitome of fairness? Boy, you learn something new everyday around here. I will think about this the next time I order a Belgium waffle. Come to think of it, maybe that is where they got that espression -- "waffling"?? Food for thought..."

This is food for thought Lincoln. Regretably I can't figure out any communication here, any point. Sorry...

I am too sarcastic. I guess I have been here too long.

[Lancer]

Well I believe that any attept by Belgium or Belgians to attack General Franks through their legal system to be totally absurd. Hope that helps.

[Lincoln]

Yes, I agree. If I were General Franks I would take a vacation to Belgium and see what happens when they arrest me.

He might as well. He's got a private jet that is taxpayer funded.
