he doesn't give a damn where it is. I know I don't. Insignificant world history Hey, now, I take great offense to this. World history was my favorite subject. I am quite an enthusiast. World history is definitely not insignificant. |

I would tend to agree, but lately World History classes have been putting emphasis on bizarre, pointless, and stupid areas of history. For instance, the Bantus moved into South Africa. That's all well and good, but how does that affect the modern world?

And just as i was about to put quote after quote of showing how the reagan/bush sr. administration supported Saddam, from 1980-1990 (just four months before the gulf war), the only sites i can find to prove this are socialist - meaning biased. But the very least i can say, is that Saddam's rise to power was supported (early on) by the US and if you believe supported simply means "Go Saddam!" and not "Here Saddam, have some money and build those ties with Kuwait - but dont forget who helped you  " - you're a fool. I have no idea who Jim Lehrer is, cuz believe it or not, i dont usually follow US politics - unless Canada is concerned. btw, attacking my misspellings is rather tacky - do grow up. Alleon?

- he was also the governor's son at the time - get YOUR facts straight. he also didn't know where chechnya was, before he was elected president.... Hi peanut. Do you think America would want a President who spent months memorizing the name of every town in every country, to become a walking dictionary of town names, in the fashion of Rain Man? Or would you reckon they might prefer a man who spends his time on more worthwhile things, like doing his job? Secondly, do you think Clinton knew the name of every major town in every country on Earth? If you believe that, then you may as well check in at the local Montreal Mental Hospital – I’m sure the Canadian taxpayers will be slugged with the bill, but at least it will keep you off the streets. I’ll bet you’re the guy who runs around with a notebook scribbling down street names, and mumbling all the street names you know from memory, continuously. Quite an art that. Not the stuff of Presidents, but heck, you have to start somewhere . . . |

Bush lied.
Iraq was NOT an imminent threat to the U.S. (because it did not have any WMD)
Iraq did not have ties to Al Qaida.
Bush wasted resources, time, energy, manpower to hunt down Saddam who was NOT a threat to the U.S., and totally neglected chasing bin Laden. Al Qaida has morphed into an organization with many heads (as the Madrid bombings illustrated).
Bush wasted precious time, to build someone else's nation (Iraq), while he lost 2 million jobs in 3 years in the U.S.
Bush should be laid off.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. Go back to the DU and work on your ridiculous talking points! Did you practice them in front of the mirror 50 times a day like a good liberal nitwit? I'm sure Johhny Waffle www.cafeshops.com/shoptheright/259071 will be very proud ;D |

I would like to see some reasonable discussions and replies to my posting, instead of these attacks on me. Conducting personal attacks simply means that the attackers have run out of reason.
Speaking of "reasonable", the U.S. was NOT a reasonable nation in the international community. I talked to many Germans, Swedes, Chinese, French and Spanish, and learned that Americans do not earn much respect internationally, for American's war-mongering in Iraq.
Bush sent thousands of Americans to be maimed and killed, for NOTHING. Iraq had no WMD, and the U.S. spent $87 billion to build someone else's nation, rather than creating jobs in the U.S., preventing offshoring of jobs to other countries, and to help Americans afford college education (college tuition increased rapid in the past 2 year all across the country).
Bush campaigned to be an "education president", and he TOTALLY FAILED.

I talked to many Germans, Swedes, Chinese, French and Spanish, and learned that Americans do not earn much respect internationally, for American's war-mongering in Iraq. With the exception of the former Spanish Government, who gives a rat's ass about them? What have they done for us lately? Not a damn thing! What are they going to do in the future? Not a damn thing! The Socialists that now inhabit the EU will only bury their heads in the sand and flash their cowardly yellow asses to the world whilst saying "please don't hurt us". And when things get bad they will do what they have always done in the past (as in past 100 years) they will come running to us for help. As for the Chinese, they hate us now, they have hated us ever since the Communist revolution, and they will hate us in the future. That will not change. As for the everday people from all of these countries, they are jealous of Americans. Everyone knows they all want to be American, they all want to come here and live the American dream. What stops most of them? For the Chinese, only the cost of being smuggled into the US inside a cargo container with 200 other Chinese. For the Europeans, it's simple, their inherant cowardice. I suppose your one of those Kerry weasels who believes in sucking up to everybody at all times. When are you and your ilk going to wake up? Sucking up to the EU accomplishes nothing. And sucking up to the Chinese makes us look weak. |

pffff! There are refutations to your tired rhetoric all over this board. Well, let's hear those refutations again and see if they make sense and are reasonable. Stonewalling me in this forum is identical to Bush's stonewalling on many policy questions. Stonewalling by government is NOT what democracy is about. Bush's stonewalling shows his inability to understand democracy and his lack of qualification to involve in democratic nation-building in Iraq. The Socialists that now inhabit the EU will only bury their heads in the sand and flash their cowardly yellow asses to the world whilst saying "please don't hurt us". And when things get bad they will do what they have always done in the past (as in past 100 years) they will come running to us for help. As for the Chinese, they hate us now, they have hated us ever since the Communist revolution, and they will hate us in the future. That will not change. I don't think the Germans and the Swedes are cowards. First all, think about why the terrorists pick the U.S., a nation with mega-military power, as a target for terrorist acts. Why didn't the terrorists pick a militarily weaker nation first, such as New Zealand, Norway, Japan, or Greece? Why did they pick the U.S. as the main target, a nation who can unleash incredible power in retaliation? Why is the U.S. hated so? Does it have something to do with the U.S.'s lack of ability to listen to others? Does it have something to do with U.S. uniliateralism, a lack of ability to play as a member of a "community"? What does "coward" mean? A coward is one who fails to listen to others, to act in harmony with other people, fails to admit mistakes, and uses forces to divert attention from his own mistakes. That, is a REAL COWARD. - Jesse |

Call a german a Nazi and they begin to cry and beg for forgiveness, and the Swedes have the highest suicide rate in the world. Suicide is a cowards way out.
The US is hated by those who envy us, and those who are religiously bent on re-enacting the Ottoman Empire
Next?

No one has attacked you personally. All comments have been in response to what you said. Sometimes we don't run out of reason; we just run out of patience with piss baby seditious liberals. I'm still trying to figure out why this board gets inundated with them in spite of the fact that there are large boards designed solely and exclusively for them. Must be because they are not encumbered with jobs. It gets tiresome responding to the same talking points. Have any of you ever had an original thought? All these have been covered on this board and every other. |
