Cholera outbreak in Iraq spreading. Maybe we don't need to fight
Al Qaeda anymore. MANIFEST DESTINY!
\_ We're going back in time!
\_ Ok, I'm bored, I'll bite. What, if anything, does manifest
destiny have to do with cholera in Iraq? I'm figuring pretty
much nothing but you thought it sounded good.
\_ I think the OP is making a joke comparing the US's current
imperialist pursuits in iraq to its previous imperialist
pursuits in north america ... manifest destiny was
achieved partially because native americans died out
(small pox, etc) ... so if the iraqi population things out
due to disease our job their will be easier. har har
\_ Hmm, ok, except what we're doing in Iraq is not imperialism.
\_ yes I understand that, you understand that, but the
average Muslim in the middle east does NOT understand
that. Many are pissed at what they perceive as
a hostile occupation, fueling hatred and their
reasonings for attacking us. Just because you have
a full understanding of the situation from YOUR
perspective, does not make your opinion valid.
Fucking dumb shit.
\_ Nothing you just said has anything at all to do with
cholera, manifest destiny, or anything else on this
thread. And you call me a dumbshit? Ok. Whatever.
\_ Idiot.

\_ Idiot. -troller
\_ Your truly brilliant reply has made your case in
a way that allows no further response. There is
just nothing to be said to your laser sharp wit
and clear command of the language and issues at
hand. I salute your intellectual mastery!
-Trollee
\_ Congrats, you've been trolled. BRILLIANT!
-troller
\_ Uhm, duh, it's the motd. Everyone is
a troll. And if you're smart enough to
read this, you're smart enough to see I
replied in the first place due to boredom
and willingness to bite. How did a mouth
breather like you manage to login?
-Trollee
\_ Dude, you're fucking smart. Keep it up.

\_ Surprised Trollee hasn't
written back !troller !op
If it was then we're the *worst* imperialists in all of
\_ Muslims think we ARE the worst imperialists in the world.
recorded history. Real imperialists would have simply
flattened the place, turned it into a giant military base,
enacted permanent martial law, had a 100% American military
governing body, etc. But ok, I guess it makes optroll happy
to make shit up or something.
\_ Let me guess, you don't "get" The Onion's humor
either, do you?
\_ I "get" the onion. I "get" the onion so much that I
can tell this is nothing like the onion. You know
why this is different? Because the onion is *funny*.
\_ No that is not what a "real imperialist" would have
done at all. Read up on the history of the British
Empire in Iraq. We actually have tried to more or less
convert Iraq into a US economic colony and failed. Our
methods are not that different from what England tried
100 years ago. Those that do not learn from history...
\_ We are not converting Iraq. We simply wanted a
regime change. |
