I hate to lecture, but you did read Ming's post, right? He's gonna eat your balls if you turn this into a flamewar.

[The Mad Monk]

I don't think Ming said that...

At least, not using that particular euphemism...

I think that Mike can handle a little flame. Besides, I think he likes Dan Rather.

MtG, not one, not two but three thumbs up!



Anyways, how are people that never had any democratic experience throughout their history going to set up a stable democratic government? It took us centuries and they will do it overnight?

[Seeker]

What's with the sychophantic attitude towards power?

What a sick thread. Yeah, let's dance while the Iraqi people suffer under anarchy. Because suffering under Anarchy is so much better than under Saddam. Sure, Iraqi's no longer have to worry about being killed for speaking out against the government, they just have to worry about being killed for anything they own that may be of value as warlords, gunmen, and criminals loot, set fires, and randomly kill people. And under the Geneva convention, an occupying force is required to keep a sense of order. Yet Rumsfeld says it isn't the US's job to place policeman.

And with all this chaotic violence, the largest humanitarian crisis in history is looming. Iraq has no water, no source of food, and the "Coalition of the Willing" doesn't give a rats ass.

Apparantly death, famine, violence, and anarchy are reasons to celebrate.

And there's another thing to celebrate: Lancer's back!



This means SlowwHand can end his self-imposed ban & I can end my two-day boycott.

[Sava]

I hope you dancers never have to face the kind of anarchy and famine going on right now. Although such an experience might teach you people to show some damn respect to those suffering.

[Zkribbler]

Come on, Sava. You know that no one here is celebrating anarchy and famine.

This is the same kind of troll that led to people in the original thread getting banned.

[Sava]

I think it's inappropriate to celebrate until peace is achieved. I'd like to believe people aren't celebrating FOR such action. But I'm simply seeing the current events in Iraq, and people cheering for them. 1+1=2

[Zkribbler]

And now, Pvt. Jessica Lynch's plane is in the air!! She's coming home!!!

[Sava]

That's something to celebrate.

I never watch Dan, but I assume he gets paid pretty well. However, I hear there's going to be a lot of executive branch job openings in late January, 2005, so I think I'll go for one of those instead.

And bring your pictures!

I know, that was nasty of me. Conservatives just hate to have a little reality rain on their ideological parades.

MtG: I agree with you that all these people dancing in this thread are doing it more for themselves, as a form of self-congratulation for "oh how much they trully care about the dmeocracy of some far away brown folks", but at the same time they have a minor point: the situation as of yet is not bad enough to start pilling on on them. There has been widespread looting, but if by next week it has been put down, then we can move on with the more important matters.

As I have said, I reserve my judgement because it is only in the coming months that a better pic of hwo this will pan out will come out.

Thumbs up! (wonder how many Americans know what that means when done by an arab?)

I choose to take the most convenient meaning.

Can you explain the bit with the shoes though?
