I just have to tell you, that's the shiznit. And that's going in my profile.

Wow. Very insightful.

[trepanaut]

I'd say the first man wins the title for having the cruelty to instigate the contest.

[under_glass]

yes, but how many years did it take before anyone cared to stop him?

[trepanaut]

I was just talking about the allegory. I don't think it's a valid metaphor for international relations.

[under_glass]

i didn't write it.. you'd have to take that up with whomever did.

[thedeesman]

ooh, neat. I really liked that.

alright, so the west is considered to have "raped" Iraq because they freed them of a dictator? it's very interesting how anti-war-ists twist things around.

[under_glass]

bush didn't, and doesn't, give a shit what happens to the iraqi people. he wasn't primarily interested in "freeing them of a dictator," because that could have been accomplished without obliterating innocent civilians.

they never found the "weapons of mass destruction," so i suppose he had to say something in order to justify his actions.

[rollercoaster14]

that's a cool little....you know, metaphor.

you should come with us sometime to one of our anti war activist events.

Wait

"he wasn't primarily interested in 'freeing them of a dictator,' because that could have been accomplished without obliterating innocent civilians."

How?
