Do you respond to your PM's or not, UR? -
Here's the PM I sent Urban Ranger after he closed my thread on the US abandoning the search for Iraqi WMD's. I got no response.
thread closure
3rd thread? On Iraq, or on the fact that the US has abandoned the search for WMD? It's the only one on that brand new development that I'm aware of.
The US has quietly abandoned the search for WMD, which were the reason given for the invasion in the first place. It's a new development and it's significant.
So if it has to fit into one of the existing threads on Iraq, why not the El Salvador Option one? In retrospect, it makes sense. Death squads, No weapons of mass destruction. No weapons of mass destruction, death squads. Hey, it's all about Iraq.Comment

Damn, techumseh, it's even a Canadian authored thread. Do you believe that Canucks have to go to the US to make it big, because we won't listen otherwise?

Well yes, Ted. Of course I could never be as good as a liberal such as yourself. In for a penny, in for a pound I always say.

I thought this was a discussion of what outside actors, specifically the US, should do about various problematic countries.Originally posted by notyoueither
Nice try. Did it occur to you that Chinese citizens themselves could elect to force a change?
Yes, Chinese citizens could topple the regime. Similarly, the Iraqi insurgents could stop the present war by laying down their weapons. Neither would appear to be happening.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

Funny - big law firms don't have more than their fair share of power? You better start a death squad in your own office.Originally posted by DanS
I would prefer to have the minority persecuted than the majority persecuted. In fact, I would prefer that nobody is persecuted. However, I wonder whether that is feasible in the face of the minority fighting for much more than its fair share of power.
What you really can't stand is your army is taking a bath in Iraq and you'd do almost anything to avoid that. Same thing was tried in Vietnam - it was called Operation Phoenix - didn't change the outcome there.
Central America is a poor comparison. Those countries are tiny.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Here's what I'd do:
How do you feel about China torturing prisoners? The point about all this is that mindseye's friends and students (I don't believe it's just those or he wouldn't have been so general), should know him well enough to know how he feels about the matter to make the question irrelevent. It's like how I try not to avoid talking to you of all people about anything related to China as much as possible because it's like talking to a cult member and I can usually predict how the conversation will go.Originally posted by Urban Ranger

You must have me confused with someone else. I have consistently said that the current "bath" we are taking in Iraq is one of the cheapest in history. As a conflict, it rates somewhere below the Phillipines insurgency, which most Americans have never heard of (or were taught in history class but immediately forgot).What you really can't stand is your army is taking a bath in Iraq and you'd do almost anything to avoid that.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

We start out talking about liberation and end up with death squads - you might as well get Saddam Hussein out of cold storage and reinstall him in power - or a facsimile - Allawi is starting to look that way.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer.
