to nail a chick if I treated her like crap. The worse
I treated her the more slavish she behaved. Treating
a college girl well but showing confidence in myself
(not being the pussified wimp) worked ok but required
more effort for less gain.
\_ Actually it's a little more complicated. Most girls
can't distinguish between confident and asshole. They
look similar to the untrained eye. So many girls go
for confident and get asshole instead.

4/7 Is there a recent precedent for the use of "civilian contractors" /
"mercenaries" in combat situations? The recent murders/mutilations
were terrible, but I'm wondering about the use of CC/Ms to protect
government agencies in a warzone-- what sort of accountability does
this Blackwater company have if one of their guards guns down a
kid?
\_ These "civilian contractors" are ex-marines / navy-seals who is
hired to protect food convoy. They are not "civilians" (which
implied they are defenceless and without arms). These incident
can be treated as US soldiers being killed. Both USA and Britian
are toying around with mercenaries because casualty of mercenaries
are not as politically sensitive as regular soldiers. Further
when mercenaries commit war crime and all, government can just
wave their hand and say "it ain't us."
\_ Recent precedant? I don't know. Google "hessian mercenaries"
\_ let's say post-1950, post-Geneva convention, etc.
\_ My great-grandfather was a mercenary in WWI, and in a few
american scuffles prior to that.
\_ US or any country?
\_ Doesn't matter. Let me be more inflammatory: How do you feel
about an Enron or Worldcom that employs well-trained paramilitary
types and is contracted to work for the government? Or:
Imagine the Bush invading countryX using an entirely mercenary
force, and blaming the outcome on a lack of "corporate synergy".
\_ w00t!
\_ How about the French Foreign Legion?

" And now Muqtada Al-Sadr's people are also fighting it out in
parts of Baghdad and the south. If the situation weren't so
frightening, it would almost be amusing to see Al-Hakeem and
Bahr Ul Iloom describe Al-Sadr as an 'extremist' and a 'threat'.
Muqtada Al-Sadr is no better and no worse than several extremists
we have sitting on the Governing Council. He's just as willing
to ingratiate himself to Bremer as Al-Hakeem and Bahr Ul Iloom.
The only difference is that he wasn't given the opportunity, so
now he's a revolutionary[...]And as I blog this, all the mosques,
Sunni and Shi'a alike, are calling for Jihad..."

They believe we are invaders who will take away their country," said

Having a syphilitic dictator in charge of that much oil would have been dumb. He might decide he wanted more money, and with that much of the supply, he could ensure he got it. Also, with that much wealth, he could develop nukes. Look at how much fun North Korea is. And they're not even rich. \_ Yeah, except for all of the UN people running around trying to expose non-existant weapons, and the oil fields trashed from 10+ years of no spare parts.
