well considering that bush is only a puppet for the real
nutcases in the administration if bush ain't popular enough
to get the election they're capable of doing something like
killing him just to get sympathy from the american public
towards republicans and get another puppet in the govment
who'll ruin the US and make the world a time bomb

I wrote a long text to you Promo but decided not to post it,
you wouldn't read it anyway and if you did you would still
not change your mind.

I recommend you to watch these comedy clips about Iraq
called "Between Iraq and a hard place" - they brilliantly
show what we in the west have been doing down there in Iraq
since the early 1900's up til today:

Between Iraq and a hard place

manticore,

Corporations have shareholders. Unless you forgot you
complete and utter idiot. Shareholders like you and me. And
the big pension funds too which manage people's pensions.
Shareholders demand profits otherwise they have no interest
in investing in particular companies long term. There are
tonnes of companies out there which are extremely badly
managed and don't even turn a profit. So please grow up. You
know nothing.

joakimlinden,

Thats your fucked up perception of things. We (the British)
freed Iraq when it was called Mesopotamia from Turks after
WW1. So get a life. When you attack the west then you attack
the British and you know it.

Well in Orwells 1984 it would probably be called a freedom
operation but since they didn't free Iraq at but instead
forced a government on the people of the Mesopotamian region
and called it Iraq.

They took money from the Iraqis to pay for the "systematic
bombings of civilians". The Brittons then appointed a King,
which two years prior to that was king of Syria, and removed
all opposition "candidates" and claimed that king Feisal got
96.8% of the votes.

I think that is fucked up. We have treated those people like
idiots and uncivilised tribes that can't take care of
themselves - like in the great movie "Lawrence of Arabia" -
when infact they have given us much of the foundation for
our current knowledge.

They have a totally different culture which is founded on
different values than "ours". This was the reason for the
Christian Crusades, where even some swedish people where
involved, which killed a lot of innocent people in Gods
name.

WE are the oppressors, they are the victims. This is my
perception.

Dude, you are really ignorant. So far for every 10 god-awful
things bush has done, you can maybe list one thing he did
right. The other times you just attack our personal
character calling us commies (which i am not). You dont
fucking live here so you dont know. How the fuck are we
supposed to help out other countries when our own country is
so fucked up? How are we supposed to help poor third world
countries by dropping bombs on them, establishing military
control and sucking their oil dry?

So once again promo, here we are back at the fucking
beginning, with your childish arguments and our so called
'rants'. What the matter promo? What are you hiding?

I agree with weatheredstoner. I think Americans have a
better perception of their politics than you do. When I was
in USA for a month recently ,the majority of Americans(from
all walks of life I may add) I spoke to expressed their
frustration at the way their country is being run and how
concerned they were about the actions of their "elected"
administration. Maybe talk to some Americans before you
spread your points of view as gospel.

"being dutch i dont really agree on how michael moore
portrait the american bombing on sarajevo: a month before
that or so we cried for and were denied airsupport from nato

when the enclave srebrenica we tried to defend (but at which

we missarably failed) fell"

The enclave at srebrenica, if I remeber correctly, was not
defended because they got orders not to do anything. They
where simply to wait for their ride out of there and let the
drunk-up, drugged-up military do their shit.
I've seen a documentary with soldiers from that unit and
they where totally overcome with the emotions of not being
able to do anything.

The American govnmt portrayed the Serbian leader as ruthless
and gave him a Hitler-like aura, like they do oh so often,
while they supported the UCK guerrillas, sending in CIA
personell to train them.

Milosevic didn't want foreign economic interests to lay
their bloody noses in his country's bussiness - when this
was made clear, he became the evil one.

The UCK where then suddenly called "Freedomfighters" by the
western media, when they infact did just as much to
contribute to terror as the Serbians.

The U.S. gov. claimed that he had held a speech which was
calling for an uprising against the Albanians and that he
was sort of...well, like Hitler really.

That speech is now available on the net, thanks to CIA
documents, they have translated it, if I remeber correctly.
I have read it and it doesn't contain ANY SHRED of racism,
instead it calls for the people of Yugoslavia to unite and
to work together in harmony. The total opposite of a racist
speech.

Me too mc 303, I'm ready to abandon every moral code in the
book as well - if I make any money this year it'll go
directly to the re-election of Bush Junior.

I'll buy copies of Mike Savage's show and replay his "turd
world nations" speeches til my ears bleed while I sing "Let
the eagle soar" wrapped in the stars and stripes banner.

well the 4000 thousand muslim-men who systematticly got
destroyed after we didnt do anything anymore because we were
only lightly armed (we actually helped with deportation :(
does show that the analogy isnt that wrong. though i do
believe that probably, yes, UCK were just as bad when being
in charge, only milosovic was in power and therefor got to
do more damage.
But what are you supposed to do when things get out of hand:
milosovic was trying to get rid of all the other ethnic
groups. Armed intervention was in place Milovsovic and his
supporters (which were, i'm afraid, most of the Serbs
because of the war situation) only wanted to do that
themselves, at best then the muslims would only have been
kicked out of Serbia, but that's not good either.

in this case it wasnt oil: it was because it was in our own
europe (west i mean by that)
it makes you reconsider iraq: its not that saddam was all
that innocent with the Kurds (?)
i usually just cant come to dissicions on this stuff, though
i was pretty sure iraq was wrong. no i am sure on that

Well it's not good what any of the parties in that conflict
did - I believe in peaceful agreements in all situations and
do not support any violence against anyone.

I just think that we get fed the picture that suits our
leaders interests for the time being and they should be
honest about it. We have a "free" media but it's a
disfunctional media with corporate interests and hierarchies
that rule the flow of information from the top -> down.

There is also a matter of...what is viewed as criminal. We
have to start being consequent about these things:
Madelaine Albright said that the 500.000 Iraqi children that
died as a direct consequence of the sanctions against Iraq
was a "price that we where willing to pay". She was part of
making that decision.
I doubt that Milosevic gave orders that those men would be
killed. It was probably the military side of the conflict,
not the political.

In any way... If he did order 5000 people to be killed,
knowingly - why isn't Madelaine Albright sharing rooms with
him in the tribunal prison for knowingly killing hundreds of
thousands of children? Because it was for a good cause?
Well... Saddam actually got more power from the sanctions,
it was the population that suffered.

i really believe that milosovic was "bad" because he was a
dictator who had been in power to long, was mad with power
and screwed up, i hold him personnaly responsible for those
deaths. (maybe my view on that isnt impartial, but what is?)
the same i do with saddam and those children: he and not
albright is directly responsible for that.

what you say about the media is interesting because that's
the stuff that i keep on hearing here, only from the
right-side off view: left wing media, this and that...
i do believe the situation you describe is how it is in the
us now: cnn as a propaganda tool. i also believe bush is
stupid enough for not really believing in real press-freedom

Just a thought, but how many people here actually give a
fuck about 500,000 Iraqi children dying?

I suggest that if people really, really gave a fuck about
them and all the other poor and starving people of the world
they wouldn't be buying CDs, visiting the movies, going out
and getting pissed all the time or spending $X on a pair of
fucking Reeboks.

Well... Why do we do those things? Could it be because
corporations profits have become more important than people
- and to support the top 1% of the population we get fed an
endless stream of input with huge amounts of messages
telling us how great things will be if we do this or if we
buy that.

People are getting organised though - like in the WTO summit
in Seattle, but then they move the meetings to obscure
locations that no one has any access to...

It's also hard to identify with numbers, even if they are as
huge as those.

Have you ever seen the footage of that young vietnamese man
who gets shot in the head by a military? Images like those
made the people realise the meaningless horrors of war and
they stood up in the end and stopped the violence. Too late,
unfortunatley... An estimated million civilians where killed
in the aftermaths of the war alone, due to the total
destruction by the U.S. military of the infrastructure, the
plantations, the mines.

If we only get a fair media, showing what is really taking
place in battle - like it did in some aspects of the Vietnam
war - we will start to grasp what people has to endure for
us to continue living like leeches.

joakimlinden,

You apparently don't need a fair media or any media for that
matter as you seem to know the entire story anyway.

You know what? I really fucking wish that we just let all

Then that way you'd have no argument whatsoever for
