3/29 A little late but I had a busy day: http://www.efreedomnews.com/News%20Archive/Iraq/SpecialReportWaronIraq/SR2RisetoPower.htm http://www.indianaobserver.com/2002/12/I69Iraq.html http://www.arationaladvocate.com/dejavuonthebrink.htm Some of this is fact. Some is opinion. These and other links you can easily find yourself show the Baathist/Nazi link in action, attitude, goals, etc. If you want to dig deeper go look up Michel Aflaq, the founder of the whole Baathist insanity. Here's a starter on Aflaq: http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/001/837uvzrs.asp http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/political_wrap/jan-june03/sb_1-24.html \_ nice links, thanks \_ Good stuff. Refresh my memory: You're posting these to prove what, exactly? Or you're posting them as informational links? \_ This was the Saddam is a Nazi vs. the Saddam is a Stalinist thread from over the last few days. Having read these and a few other links I confirmed my previous understanding that the Baathists are Arab Nazis but was unaware they were also fans of some of the earlier Russian communists to some extent. \_ It's an idiotic argument. \_ There are people who will argue whether the flames are blue or green when the point is that your arse is on fire. \_ Yeah, it would be better to discuss something deeply intellectual like which linux distro is better or car vs. bike, or whether the war is about oil or just pure meanness on the part of dick cheney. You've totally nailed it with your deep and incisive commentary and editorial. How can I learn to be as smart as you? \_ Um, go back in time and prevent your past self from getting that lobotomy? \_ oh! ouch! it's like 1st grade all over again! *laugh* It's too funny that the motd can sink even this low. I thought most of the grade schoolers left when the motd got a little harsh on that sort of infantile stupidity. \_ Apparently not: we're both still here. \_ 1) Another common thread of 20th century genocidal dictators is where many developed their political philosophies - the cafes of Paris. \_ That's because Paris used to be where you went to be educated. Things have changed now and the U.S. is where you go to get an education. Hence all the terrorists who are educated in the U.S. 2) Hitler was a socialist. \_ the cafe's of Austria then? \_ 'many' \_ Hilter was more fascist than socialist, but then again lots of of people had similar POVs. And the key to Soviet socialism, German nationalist socialism, and Italian facsisism is the emergence and misinterpretation of Darwinism. That is, thinking survival of the fittest rather than understanding evolution. Which leads us to the roots of pure capitalism and the American sense of superiority.... \_ It does? How so? This hasn't been a pure capitalist society in your great grand daddy's lifetime. The American sense of superiority comes from having a robust economy, an effective military, and a flexible and adaptable culture that rolls with the punches. That 'sense' is because it's true. \_ I agree in part, but the greatest contribution America has made is put forth in the Bill of Rights and Constitution. No amount of wealth or power can overshadow rights and government ordained by God. \_ "Bill of Rights" & Constitution establish religions via "ordained by God" therefore are unconstitutional \_ So you wrote them? \_ Uh... what? They establish no such thing. Are you one of the left wing nutters that thinks the Pledge is a violation of your rights too? |

3/30 Solved my procmail 'syntax' problem. The syntax was fine. The problem was that my lame MUA wasn't displaying characters properly. Actual subject line looks like this: Subject: =?GB2312?B?xby2+9f20ru72MWrwaWjrLOiytSxu8WwtP3Q1LCux+nIpKOh?= To the person who suggested I dig through my procmail log, thanks. I usually leave logging off here due to limited disk space on soda, and an often almost full homedir. To the troll who thinks he's so 1337 because he R0X0RZ the procmail world, go stick your head in a pig. \_ Just because someone is smarter than you doesn't make them a troll. It's all tom's fault that stupid little kids are misusing the word all the time. "check your logs" isn't rocket science. and again, no one on the motd *owes* you anything. find a pig farm. \_ Go away troll. Saying '3Y3 M D3 P0RCM4I1 M4ZT3R!!!' Doesn't indicate intelligence. It makes a claim as to some facility with a unix tool, and indicates an anti-social inability to share that suggests you were stuffed into one too many trash cans during adolescence. You're right. Nobody on the motd owes me anything, and, consequently, I'm saying thanks for some helpful advice. Bill Joy didn't write BSD singlehandedly, but since you're so smart and never need any help with anything, maybe you should look him up. You can discuss the finer points of how robots and nanotech are going to destroy the universe. \_ *laugh* There's two ways to see your reply, either a) I'm a troll and you got trolled, or b) I'm not a troll and you got trolled anyway. Either way you could use a double dose of prozac and some therapy. -!troll \_ thank you for proving my point. \_ time to grow up, the both of you. |

3/28 Just another day at a peaceful anti-war rally: http://csua.org/u/bfa \_ And the pro-war side is blameless. http://csua.org/u/bfb I'm not disagreeing with you; the world is pretty fucked up. \_ Are you seriously stating a moral equivalency between civilian casualties of war and someone whose "anti-war" stance is to push the Jews into the sea? \_ Are you saying that all war protesters are violently antisemitic? Of course not. I'm just saying there are a hell of a lot of reasons to be against this war. \_ blame the local iraqis solders who forced civilians into the crossfire \_ Or the inept diplomacy of a simple-minded President. \_ Okey dokey, it's easy to spout off about someone else's failures, how about you tell us the non-violent yet effective actions you'd take as US Pres. that would have made certain Iraq was disarmed? Inspections? There were no inspections from '98 and they only went back in under tremendous pressure due to the US military buildup and even then they weren't doing anything useful since a) they didn't want to and b) the whole .org was filled with so many spies the Iraqis knew what was going to be inspected before the UN guys on the ground in Iraq did. I've yet to hear a single response from anyone in the government, the media, the public, or private about how to disarm Iraq/Hussein without fighting if he doesn't want to do it voluntarily. Just lots of noise about, "bush is stupid!". Maybe he is stupid but you're not doing any better. \_ How about not pissing off a collection of nations that were squarely in our pocket because of September 11th? How about putting a real effort into Afghanistan? How about prioritizing this effort with respect to North Korea? How about just keeping your goddamn story straight, and not lying to the public? Are we there for disarming him, are we there because he's a war criminal, or are we there because my misguided domestic policy and tax refunds has turned a budget surplus into a recession and I need a quick shot in the arm for the next election? Or maybe it's just a cover to get the flag-waving jingoes out in force and allow me to push some of the worst civil rights legislation through congress in 40 years? How about not claiming some stupid forgeries as "evidence" of nuclear arms dealing? Sure, rattle sabres, let people know you're serious. But don't treat war as the foregone conclusion. |
