That's true my national pride was hit, however it's something else which eagered me the most. IMO, the most unbearable is the twisting of History to fit political theories. It's the same process as the one used by the negationists (I call negationists the ones pretending gas chambers never existed).

I thnik that here, globally, people don't care. They probably think it would be better to extract our fellow citizens, our soldiers, and let the natives make a remake of the Rwanda genocide if they want. Personally I think we should ask for a UN resolution. We are military able to stabilize the country and do the job alone, but politically we need "allies", if possible africans or neutral countries. It's no more our responsability, we are no more the colonial power. The current leaders of IC played with the fire of xenophobia, now all the country is ready to burn.

I'll be looking for that in the spring... :-D Last week I found a C-Tec tape (Darker) in my car that I thought I'd lost about 2 years ago! I've been playing that thing all week! Is it De Meyer singing in C-Tec? Whoever it is, the vocals are really good and err... dark! :cool:

Actually I was mistaken - my setting was on Very High. I used to be medium but I must've changed it at some point. Oh well: sorry, my mistake :-). -- Andrew.

Economy: I could agree with your economic argument, except for one fundamental point: IMO "free market" self regulation does not cope well with non-economic facts, and should not be the only regulatory mechanism. A free market handles social facts "economically sane", rather than "socially sane". That's why - but that's my personal wisdom - a free market can't be the only mechanism of control. A free market is "fair" only if the competing countries have the same starting conditions. US: politically stable, rich resources, and a business-oriented society. Iraq: instable, has desert and oil, socially conservative Who would you bet your money on? The Iraq can sell it's oil and strike it rich, or remain a bowl of sand with some oases. Yes, the U.S. could get all the oil you need without Iraq even existing. But it more expensive, and less reliable (look what Venezuela did to the market..). Iraqi oil is one of the cheapest, and whatever way the UN sactions are lifted, the crude oil prices will drop (much more than the gas prises) Yes, an expensive military is economically stupid - unless you own Lockheed. A population convinced of the need of a strong army is a good way to make money. Yes, whatever the outcome will be, Iraq will again live on their oil. But the economic winner will be the oil industry, especially those companies that have influence on the U.S. president elected. Global Village: Quick check: where's your keyboard made? (mine: Made in China). Even if yours is Made in U.S.A. - look around you: how many things are made from resources mined in the US, formed by american hands, with tools made in USA?

My pleasure :) If you understood the meanings, could you please help me to correct my english version?

Paul Watson wrote: I never got that email, but if I had I probably would have brought it up the same way I have brought this one up. I suppose the reassuring argument is that if such cynical marketing techniques work then in the long term you are helping to fight both bioterrorism AND cancer. I doubt that many people would install it for one and then not leave it active when you revert to the other. More people are interested in searching the internet nowadays for stuff on terrorism than stuff on cancer, I guess, so it doesn't sound like such a bad idea. ... I think. :-D Paul Pleasently caving in, I come undone - Queens of the Stone Age, No One Knows

Hey, it was a damn good one if so! There's one really memorable bit in it where some guy comes running into a crowd of people and shouts something like "Quick, run away, there's a bunch of giant killer rabbits heading this way!!!". The really funny bit is that all these people believe him. Yeah, right. Debbie

Damn, that's brilliant! I wish I'd thought of that :cool: Debbie
