shreck the down-turn in the US economy. I'd heard Sinn Fein were positively terrified by the down-turn in donations from dumb Americans.
lol silly dowding....sinn fein are irish!
'terrorists' wear turbans and originate in middle-eastern countries duh! (disclaimer:this opinion is subject to change should the media decide to update the terrorist stereotype to accommodate our next military action or series of action toys/movies)
just like [korea=axis of evil] and [china=friend].
you see, the difference is that korea manufactures weapons and sells them to unsavory people, they have a non-democratic oppressive government and all kinds of human rights abuses, they also make their neighbors very nervous whereas china....um.....they uh......well....well they do a lot of business with us so they they must be ok.....right?
huh....ask my grandfather-in-law, mr. kuang, why he can't see so good out of his right eye someday....or what it's like to watch your wife being beaten.
i'll be more behind this anti-terrorist crusade when we start applying it without hypocrasy.
i got no problem tearing around the world kicking bad-guy bellybutton but unless we are unpolitical about it it isnt 100% on the level and thats how we should always be.
adopting a standard and sticking to it would raise some sticky 'sitchiations' though wouldnt it?
there are swarms of irish in america - it's gonna sway our policies in the same way that the hordes of jews here sway our policies toward israel.
i think the fact that the uk's interests are in a tiny corner of the island of ireland makes it worse. our concept of manifest destiny seems to support the militants. if there was no northern ireland and they were crossing the channel there to commit terrorist acts you'd get more support.
just politics - just more of the same.
ready! aim! flame!
