3/1 GIMME SHELTER Baghdad's Hilarious Human Shields http://www.iconoclast.ca/MainPage.asp?page=/NewPage10.asp \_ These people are idiots, and are giving principled opposition to this war a bad name. \_ Exactly which principles are those? They seem to characterize the pacifist position perfectly. \_ Sane foreign policy. The rule of law. A stable world. The fragile global economy. Pacifism is quite distinct from a reasonable opposition to this war, which I'm sure you're aware of Mr. Troll. \_ Then what is your middle east solution. The region will only to continue to destablize. Wanting to remove an oppresive dictator and remake the geopolitical dynamic in the middle east is now considered an insane foreign policy? An exactly which law are you conveniently referring too? Certainly not the Constitution. \_ Kyoto! We're in violation of Kyoto! And the international law against land mines! And the international law that says we have to obey the whims and wishes of every 3rd world crack pot dictator. And the one that says 'stability' is more important than 'freedom'. Yeah! Take that! \_ Um... Didn't _we_ write the law that stability is more important than freedom? \_ I was just gonna point out the irony of having a bunch of pacifists support a dictator who (literally) has human meat grinders in his prisons for people he doesn't like. Who wants to bet on these people being captured and used as hostages by Hussien if things get hairy? \_ not anymore, he released the entire prison population several weeks ago. kind of weird. \_ Not really. Able-bodied men can help defend the country. \_ But he'll still have those useless idiots available as hostages. \_ The sad thing is that these people do not realize that US military will not hesitate to bomb into oblivion any strategic Iraqi targets regardless of whether there are any human shields from Western countries present there. Fools. \_ and "strategic Iraqi targets" includes "anywhere there are people wearing turbans" \_ Of course it does. Why wouldn't it? Geeze.... |
