For the sake of convenience, you're willing to define anything you see fit as "terrorism".

      From the article: _Ed Brown speaks for the first time since his arrest and relates how he was gassed by noxious fumes for three days in a detention center..._ :laugh: Gassed by what? His cell-mate's noxious farts? Puhleeeese... :rolleyes:

        So turkey wants to traipse merrily into Iraq to sort out a few issues 120+ people blown up in Pakistan after the return of a politician. Strange - but i don't hear much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the lefties (not referring to any CP members here) Can't quite fathom it. bryce

        So who? US Democratic Representatives? Which ones have ever opposed Iraq on the basis of morals, i.e.,"it's wrong to invade another country". They are all opposing the US in Iraq for a variety of political reasons, and/or, regional repercussions, not moral reasons.

          Check your atlas my friend. It is a country bordering Iran! One of the biggest issues of Turkey going into Kurdistan is that Kurdistan extends into Iran, risking getting the Iranians involved if the Kurdish fighters flee from the Turkish forces into Iranian Kurdistan. Then you may have something to complain about.

            I don't. If Turkey has a legitimate case that they are under attack from a neighbor, than they should be allowed to defend themselves. Obviously, that raises the possibility of a confrontation between Turk and US forces as the US would necessarily have to defend against a general invasion from Turkey, but as long as the objectives were narrowly defined, they should be allowed to do it. Frankly, I think there should be a new international law - any act of terrorism from the citizens of one nation against the citizens of another can be considered an act of war regardless of whether the government of the nation producing the terrorism was directly responsible for it or not. Further, all members of the UN would be required to participate militarily in the invasion of any nation producing terrorism. The excuse of 'stateless' terrorism should be made legally moot. If they are your citizens than you need to control them. Otherwise, the international community will. -- modified at 8:05 Friday 19th October, 2007

            The only conspiracies that concern me are the ones I am completely unaware of. By the time I find out about it, its probably a done deal. Nothing in the entire universe is more useless than morality without authority. A morality free of hypocrisy is no morality at all.

            Is your suggestion assuming that no Americans in the future would never commit an act of terrorism in a foreign country and therefore we would never have to be concerned about being at war against the rest of the world as a result?

              I didn't mention the WOT which is a political concept with no matching physical reality, unless you count the things it is used as a lame excuse for, and did not seek to define terrorism with anything other than a paraphrase of the dictionary definition, "The application of fear, generated by illegal killing, for the end purpose of applying politcal pressure to elected and legitimate authorities". If you don't like that definition you're at one with your leaders. The curent US adminstration has invested massive diplomatic efforts in gaining effective ownership of the definition of terrorism so that they can exclude their own activities as and when they see fit, while labelling anyone who disagrees with their policies a terrorist in defiance of logic and common sense. The president of Italy recently, following the same model, labelled me a terrorist because I do not support a single European state. Such usage risks eventually making the term meaningless.

                  Dude...You need a much better grasp of the English language if you're going to properly express your points. This is all just rubbish. An actually coherent idea every now and again might help too.

                    The section of the left who would moan about the US going into Iraq and wrecking the place without UN authorisation but who won't complain when Turkey does likewise because the Turks are Muslem, or not seen as imperialist, or non-white, or whatever. In other words an unjustifyable double standard. If you scream about A doing it then you'd better scream just as loud when B does it or expect no one to take any notice of your initial complaint, is I think what he's getting at. Reasonable to extent that it's a fair comparison in the first place.

                        Yeah, and by "deprivation tank" he really means he can't go eat at that expensive French Bistro down the street anymore. Rather, he has to subsist on prison fare which causes his fat cell-mate to gas him with noxious post-prison-meal farts. What a joke.

                          I like how Bush doesn't think its in their best interest to handle the terrorists in their backyard yet stated that Israel had the right to defend itself. The rules kinda don't apply when it might directly impact our operations in Iraq.

                          This statement was never false.

                              OT but hey ho... I see that's it's not just reading you have a problem with but writing as well. At least that explains a portion of the nonsense you frequently post. Perhaps I should stick to responding with short sentences you can handle. Don't post rubbish. You're wrong and you know you are. Contradicting yourself won't persuade me. Call me crazy if it makes you feel better. I just feel I'd be insulting the intelligence of others who read this forum and can actually handle the occasional parenthetical comment.

                                Well at least you recognize that my blatantly obvious satirical immitation of your writing style is problematic. Now if only you could recognize that you suffer from severe delusions of persecution (which is admittedly something you won't be able to recognize without professional help)....What with the president of Italy calling you a terrorist and whatnot.

                                  Absolutely. If we were producing gangs of international terrorists and could do nothing about them ourselves, it would be the responsibility of the international community to deal with it.

                                  The only conspiracies that concern me are the ones I am completely unaware of. By the time I find out about it, its probably a done deal. Nothing in the entire universe is more useless than morality without authority. A morality free of hypocrisy is no morality at all.

                                    You said "See Ed Brown currently being held without access to lawyer and suffering solitary confinement, sensory deprivation and other forms of turture in the US, as a US citizen, for daring to refuse to obey an illegal tax demand". You did not say that Ed Brown "said" any of those things. You said that he is "being held without access to lawyer and suffering solitary confinement, sensory deprivation and other forms of turture in the US". That is plainly bearing false witness against the good men and women who run the prison that he will hopefully rot away in. That is, unless you can provide evidence of this fact. Can you provide evidence, you pathetic swine? You make so many unsubstantiated claims (i.e. bearing false witness) which I typically dismiss as irrational support of your delusions of persecution. But just for fun, I'll confront you on this particular one. Of course, I know that you'll just ignore my demands for evidence and instead go off on an unrelated tangent composed of innumerable run-on sentences.

                                      Refusing to pay tax on 2 million dollars of your wife's income is apparently very illegal in the US. As is resisting arrest. No membership of Aryan Nations required. The fact that he is a dreadful human being is just a happy coincidence, rather like seeing Johnathon King arrested as a pederast.

                                      That would be prosecutable under the natural course of law. Not as an enemy combatant right? I think that's the point here. As a citizen, even a detestable one, he still has the right to due process.

                                          OT but hey ho... I see that's it's not just reading you have a problem with but writing as well. At least that explains a portion of the nonsense you frequently post. Perhaps I should stick to responding with short sentences you can handle. Don't post rubbish. You're wrong and you know you are. Contradicting yourself won't persuade me. Call me crazy if it makes you feel better. I just feel I'd be insulting the intelligence of others who read this forum and can actually handle the occasional parenthetical comment.

                                          Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

                                          Which, as I mentioned, proves that you can't write, let alone satirise. As I'm not being and have not been, thank God, persecuted it would appear that it is you who has a delusion that I am deluded.:doh:
