thats just laughable. do you consider the russian elections "fair" as well? do you consider it a fair election when there is no free press? pippin;358330 Wrote: > I don't like him either, but he DOES have the support of his people. > He did even get more votes than his opponent, a thing not every US > president could claim. where's the rolling eyes avatar? how about i just say "yawn." pippin;358330 Wrote: > What is your standard for a democracy?

Both is not the case here. exactly, why hasn't NATO sanctioned it? the USA wants you to, but you hide behind technicalities. what an ally. pippin;358330 Wrote: > evidence of the WMD still existing in 2003. The US claimed to have it, > it was a lie. this is nonsense. first, there is a difference between a mistake and a lie. i agree that we were wrong about a great deal we thought we knew. that is a mistake. there is no proof that anyone lied. but the fact remains, that the UN inventoried literally TONS of anthrax, VX, sarin, and mustard gas in the 7 years after the armistice. that stuff, that we, and the UN know he had b/c we inventoried it, is STILL unaccounted for. pippin;358330 Wrote: > When it's against what the rest of the world wants: yes. please, gimmie a break. the rest of the world has no responsiblity, and carrys no water. we can't even depend on NATO to help us in afghanistan. if the rest of the world din't want us in korea, should wenot have done that either? should we have just let the south koreans to the communists? to live as their starving brethren to the north live? pippin;358330 Wrote: > They can't.

They did attack no one (in 2003). there was nothing to negotiate. all saddam had to do was comply, and demonstrate he had destroyed the WMDs, it was on him to do so, it was in the armistice. he didn't, he died as a result. pippin;358330 Wrote: > What's your solution: Stay there for another 150 years and get US > soldiers killed by all sides?

Cool democracy you got! exactly, you have no plan, no strategy. all you have are complaints. i ask you for solutions, you provide none. we are prepared to do whats necessary, as we always have been, which germany, almost more than any other country, has benefitted from. we could have left you to the russians, or did you forget? pippin;358330 Wrote: > Where it belongs: at home.
