O.k. folks, what is going on here? In the past few days, we have heard Dr. Brin argue:
1) The "no-brainer" solution to Iraq, is to divide up Iraq and Iraq's oil resources between the non-Arab Kurds and the non-Sunni Shiites, without any regard for how this might inflame the "Sunni-Arab" street. 2) The only ally we need against Iraq is Iran. Yes, the same Iran that still calls us "The Great Satan of the West," the same Iran that is still developing WMD's of its own (no hypocrisy by the US here!), and the same Iran that wouldn't even ally with us against its enemies, the (Sunni) Taliban-controlled Afghanistan! 3) And now..... >You want NATO to be the world gov? You cannot see how >self-satisfying that model is? MY SIDE GETS TO RULE! > >John, you really need to step back. You mean it is completely amazing to hope that Democracy and Free Markets might triumph over Totalitarianism, Autoritarianism, Repression, and Fanatacism?????? This is an opinion that I am to be ridiculed for? What's going on here? And will whoever took the real David Brin please put him back when you're done?
