What Grunherz? No effing this, or commie that? And yes, I really do hate the US.
Fool.
Easymo - Frankly, your opinions count for little in my book too. A man who believes the opinion of an author of departure lounge fiction has some supreme, important insight into world events is living in a dream world.
Udie - You seriously believe politicians are born with convictions that are unchanged throuout their lives? For example, Tony Blair used to be a conservative in his youth and stood for election on those grounds. Now he's a champagne socialist. There's this guy Peter Hitchens who was actually a hard line Marxist in his youth - now he's as conservative as you could possibly be.
The same Clinton who any time his sorry bellybutton was in trouble on tv started bombing some other country, including an asprin factory in Afganastan.
You surely don't think only Clinton is guilty of this? It's a tactic as old as the hills.
The same Clinton who let Sadam throw the UN weapon inspectors out of Iraq.
Well, I don't see what he could have done in this situation. He supported an embargo on humanitarian aid that has killed half a million Iraqi children in response (UNICEF figures), so it wasn't as though he wasn't trying.
Yes the same Clinton who lied under oath at least 2 times in two diferent courts.
Sure he lied. But the fact that an investigation was ever called which would put the President in that position, is quite interesting. It never happened with Kennedy, did it? And it's he highly likely he boffed Monroe while in office. She didn't keep her mouth shut either - it was a well know fact at the time.
I can see how far his diplomacy has gotten us in the middle east.
Prior to this year's violence, the Palestinians and Israelis were closer to an agreement than ever. In fact, the Israelis had made so many concessions that Sharon was able to win on that issue alone (after a little ethnic tension incitement).
The Palestinians had an amazing offer on their plates - they turned their noses up at it. And we are where we are now.
But the bottom line is - they are all the same. Only able to look at the bigger picture after their own interests are covered.
Dowding you are so completely wrong it makes me sick to read what you wrote and really pisses me off, but I shall try and keep my cool.
J-O-K-E Udie. Hence the smiley.
Are you saying you don't find that interview on Bush's knowledge of the world outside the US funny at all? The fact that the guy being interviewed is now the most powerful man on the planet, only makes it funnier.
Without him it still would be quite funny.
