Thanks for finding time to comment Cromwell.
The 30th Jan, and this event,is not an anniversary I forget: it is Al’s father’s birthday. He has always enjoyed its place as he is anti-monarchist and anti privilege, despite his (state funded) public and Oxford education. It is funny as his wife’s parents worked in the colonies after the war, so politically they do not see eye to eye!
Bush's new "Snoop" Executive act
-
Thats not what I ment. Colin Powell would solve the problem the way it needs to be solved. He would deal with the people, doing whats right. Killing Osama wouldn’t do a thing.
-

-

-

-

-
“Democracy is Failing and that it is an Inferior idea”

We already have a charismatic ruler (well, some might not call our current president very charismatic), El Presidente

“Fidel, no running around the pool!” Stewy Family guy.

-
You? Charismatic? You talk to stuffed dogs.

Let me quote Bush’s speach today. “Congress needs to give up terf. Homeland secruity should be handled by the Executive Branch”.
In other words, he’s calling for complete control of the military. cough dictator*

The problem with democracy is that a lot of people are lacking the basic knowloedge to make a good political choice. Democracy is the dictatorship of ignorance some way, it is very emotional. How many people vote for Bush, THE PERSON, without thinking about the idea behind the vote, people want more money in their pocket, to complain after social program lack financement. Also get a bullet in the shoulder of the president, his popularity will rise… Another BIG problem is the fact the governement are often making decision not because it is right, but to be reelected; that is just stupid.
It is an argument for dictatorship… not really, one person is even more instable, more emotional, then not worthy of the power. Hitler made several very stupid thing, because he had emotional, personnal problem, et cetera… One man cannot rule a country.

I like to see that, Sir Cystic Crypt :D

I completely agree with you there, with a few notable exceptions…number one being the dropping of the atomic bombs. Not a very popular move by the president, but it had to be done. (Most people who disagree with the dropping don’t realize how lucky they really were, becuase an invasion of japan would’ve cost millions of american lives.)
-
American lifes are not more or less valuable than Japanese lifes.
-
That is correct. Human life cannot be weighed because you come from a different country of origin. I think what Sir Izcoder was trying to point out is that in war, you care less about the causalities the enemy takes and more on how many causalities your own men will take.

too true. If i am a citizen of a country at war with another one, i will feel bad about their civilian casualties, but rather their civilians than our military or civilians become casualties. And if they lose a few civilians to end the war preventing more of my countrymen (and countrywomen’s) lives, well, although my gut feels squeamish, my head says que sera sera.

So, according to you, its alright if we kill other innocents as long as it keeps our soldiers from gettng killed.
-
Name one situation we would have the need to kill “innocents” to protect our soldiers from getting killed.
