Or well be up to our great-grandkids eyeballs in debt.

Well I spoke to my Chicago friend the other day and he sees it that it is these people who are destroying the U.S, not the Chinese, not the Russians, not the Talibans or Arabs, its ignorant U.S folks who are destroying it.

I know, just last week I saw a mob of several hundred of them rampaging through the streets, killing inocents, and destroying property. Pretty soon the US as we know it will be destroyed entirely. Its such a shame…

I’ll take my dopes over Chinese (Russian, um, Taliban, um, etc.)dopes any day.

You may be right, but that doesn’t matter.

Um. Whatever.

AngryTom,

Move to Cuba and find out for sure.

If I wrote that it must have been sarcasm.

That the difference is slight is just a matter of opinion. You may be right, but that doesn’t matter. I would be hard-pressed to find anything that would have done the coalition more damage than the sexual assault of prisoners. You are constantly forgetting that your impression of what is happening in Iraq is of no consequence. It is all about the Iraqi view of the situation. You are lacking sensitivity towards Arab and Muslim culture. It is a holier-than-thou attitude you are taking when you say it is not as bad or try to justify the actions of the perpetrators.

“You are trying to compare the despicable behavior”

Your problem is that you are trying not to see the comparison, but the comparison is valid.

“Do you actually know ANY americans who cannot locate Australia on the map? Honestly.”

Buddy… I have been asked on more than one occasion as to which state Vermont is in. If it took me more than five minutes to find five people who can’t locate Australia, I would be suprised. You should watch Street Smarts sometime. It’s pitiful.

“I am quite sure you would prefer to be in close quarter company”

“My ass might be dumb, but I ain’t no dumbass.“
–Ordell Robbie in Jackie Brown

I’m not worried. You won’t be finding my dumb ass in Iraq on checkpoint detail where Mr. Akhbar can find me because I ain’t no dumbass. In fact, until the US invaded Iraq, I had never seen an American beheaded by an Islamic extremist. It’s strange how that happened.

Move to Cuba and find out for sure.

Saddam Hussein, the former Iraqi dictator, will have the right to vote in this week’s referendum on his country’s new democratic constitution.

Abdul Hussein Hindawi, one of the eight highest-ranking officials on the Independent Electoral Commission in Iraq, said: “All non-convicted detainees have the right to vote. That includes Saddam and other former government officials. They will vote.”

If that was the case “Saddam will find out for the first time how to vote”, he added.

By coincidence, the referendum on the constitution is being held three years to the day since Saddam was re-elected unopposed as President, in a referendum in which he gathered an impressive 100 per cent of the vote. Less than a year later he was deposed by the US-led invasion.
