will not consider the consequences, because we can do no wrong.  Oh yeah.

There is ample evidence that the 'anti war' crowd is largely
pro Saddam, evidence in this mailing list, considerably
stronger evidence in the newsgroups, evidence in the streets,
and in the editorials of the BBC and the telegraph, and
evidence in your own utterances.  Let us discuss that.
Funny, then, and quite logically inconsistent, that this thread is titled 
I am antiwar  I have not seen anything evidencing antiwar: mentality 
from you, as you just justify it as all well, fine and dandy.  Oh yeah, if 
WE kill 10,00o Iraqis, that's worth just 1 measly disheveled 
Saddam.  You've got some funny math goin', boy.  That's not even counting 
the Billions$$ of US $DEBT we cannot afford now.

Dean at least has a legitimate excuse to be unhappy about the
capture of Saddam, since it queers his chances in the election,
but there are an awful lot of other people distressed about the
capture and coming execution of Saddam.  What is your excuse?
Who gives a flying F*CK about Dean, about Commies, about Capitalists, et 
al.  Despite repeated and voluminous, historically verifiable and 
irrefutable evidence to the contrary, you refuse to even acknowledge there 
is ANY base grievance against US foreign policy, which has led to the 
current state of affairs (so-called war on terror, blah blah blah).  In 
your rather logically and cerebrally challenged world view, everything else 
is nothing but a sock-puppet KGB conspiracy against the US/CIA (which is 
giving the KGB considerably more credit I'm sure, then they deserve, if 
they were half as inept and incompetent as the CIA during the so-called

 We had [9/11] coming.  Years ago.  One cause above *all* 
 others (although there are dozens):

   Israel.

 We have, through our total support of the israeli mass murder 
 state, earned the retribution of civilized peoples.

 We lost 3k on 9/11.  So what.  How many have we killed 
 through the goddamned israelis?

Considerably less than three thousand.  And we did not kill 
them.  The Israelis did.  There are lots of states worse than 
Israel -- Iraq for one.

In particular, the people in the two towers did not kill them.

If Palestinians had bombed the white house or congress, that 
might well have been just.  But Bin Laden's boys were children
of wealth, power, and privilege.  Even if they had been bombing 
Washington, they did not have just cause.  And they were not 
bombing Washington, they were bombing the two towers.

The 9/11 terrrorists were not Palestinians.  They were not 
avenging Israeli dispossession of Palestinians, and had they 
been, they would have been hitting the wrong target.

If it was up to me, we wouldn't be in this war, we'd have spent it on

...raghead fanatics should lose, and their way of life perish.

Down the memory hole we go folks.  James is almost as much in denial about 
his lying as GWB.  Confront him as you will, let the  facts not be 
obstacles.  Genocidal monsters unleashed, with the blessing of James, as we 
will not consider the consequences, because we can do no wrong.  Oh yeah.

There is ample evidence that the 'anti war' crowd is largely
pro Saddam, evidence in this mailing list, considerably
stronger evidence in the newsgroups, evidence in the streets,
and in the editorials of the BBC and the telegraph, and
evidence in your own utterances.  Let us discuss that.
Funny, then, and quite logically inconsistent, that this thread is titled 
I am antiwar  I have not seen anything evidencing antiwar: mentality 
from you, as you just justify it as all well, fine and dandy.  Oh yeah, if 
WE kill 10,00o Iraqis, that's worth just 1 measly disheveled 
Saddam.  You've got some funny math goin', boy.  That's not even counting 
the Billions$$ of US $DEBT we cannot afford now.

Dean at least has a legitimate excuse to be unhappy about the
capture of Saddam, since it queers his chances in the election,
but there are an awful lot of other people distressed about the
capture and coming execution of Saddam.  What is your excuse?
Who gives a flying F*CK about Dean, about Commies, about Capitalists, et 
al.  Despite repeated and voluminous, historically verifiable and 
irrefutable evidence to the contrary, you refuse to even acknowledge there 
is ANY base grievance against US foreign policy, which has led to the 
current state of affairs (so-called war on terror, blah blah blah).  In 
your rather logically and cerebrally challenged world view, everything else 
is nothing but a sock-puppet KGB conspiracy against the US/CIA (which is 
giving the KGB considerably more credit I'm sure, then they deserve, if 
they were half as inept and incompetent as the CIA during the so-called 
cold war period construct).

You see, all I care about is:  I am not going to pay the bill for this 
inane shit (insane policy), and I would not give my life for it.  I would 
not ALLOW any youth under my discretion to be seduced by these lies to lay 
down their life for this SHIT.  This is not freedom ,or liberty, or 
liberation.  You, James A Donald, are an armchair pussy Neo-con, who 
advocates others putting their lives and resources on the line for this 
utter CRAP and HYPOCRISY, and yet would not do so yourself (you are 
probably physically UNFIT for such military duty yourself).  Intellectual, 
moral, and physical WIMPS as yourself are unfit to ask, much

implying oh dear, that terrible big bully USA is kicking a poor
little cripple in his poor little wheelchair, think of the poor
little Saddam falling out of his wheelchair.

These images are not appropriate to someone who claims to
believe what you just claimed to believe, and you were not
saying what you claimed you were saying.

As the thread title says, I am anti war, you support Saddam.

 Getting back to what we were talking about, here's a bit that
 you didn't want to respond to:

 As it stands, you seem only capable of attempting to impute
 motives to others that you imagine they might hold, based on 
 wildy improbable chains of cause and effect in philosophical 
 arguments and obscure cause and effect based on international 
 relations in the '60s, bundled together with some sort of New 
 American Century twine about how if we don't kill all the
 ragheads (your words, not mine), we'll be enslaved or
 worse.

Liar:

I did not suggest killing all the ragheads, and in other forums
I have regularly argued against claims about Islam or arabs
that would rationalize and justify such an action.

There is ample evidence that the 'anti war' crowd is largely
pro Saddam, evidence in this mailing list, considerably
stronger evidence in the newsgroups, evidence in the streets,
and in the editorials of the BBC and the telegraph, and
evidence in your own utterances.  Let us discuss that.

Dean at least has a legitimate excuse to be unhappy about the
capture of Saddam, since it queers his chances in the election,
but there are an awful lot of other people distressed about the
capture and coming execution of Saddam.  What is your excuse?

 to adhere to international law.

The US army would be wholly in compliance with international 
law even if it nailed Saddam's head to a post in central 
Baghdad with a nine inch nail.  Saddam is not entitled to POW 
protections.  He was running the war effort out of uniform and 
hidden amongst civilians, which has always been a 
shoot-on-the-spot violation of the rules of war, and his war 
effort consisted largely of terrorist attacks directed at 
civilians, which regrettably has not been a shoot-on-the-spot 
violation, but arguably should be.

 I fail to understand why our war on terrorism, which is 
 apparently the mode that drives most of this sort of feeling, 
 suddenly required knocking over a crippled tyrant.

 as if Saddam ordered it

Not a straw man.  Those who think poor little Saddam was a 
victim, for the most part also think that the US 'created the 
afghan resistance, and, particularly if they were European, 
think the that Americans had 9/11 coming to them.

Saddam was not behind the 9/11 attack, but he was and is allied 
with those that were, and, the point of my argument, western 
socialists allied with him and them.  Bin Laden, in obviously 
violation of the Koran which mandates capitalism, has taken 
socialism on board, Saddam, originally a secularist, has taken 
Sunni Islamicism on board, bridging what small ideological gap 
there was between him and Bin Laden, and western socialists are 
alarmingly willing to overlook the arabism and islamicism of 
the few remaining socialists in power.

During the invasion of Iraq, most of the arab news feeds, or at 
least their corresponding english language websites, were 
reasonably fair and balanced, while the BBC went over the top 
with Saddamite propaganda.  When I read the Al Jazeera web 
site, most of the entirely over the top propaganda came from 
western correspondents.  Al Jazeera's own correspondants were 
for the most part OK.

The western intellectuals are not reacting to this as a war of 
caucasians vs semites, but a war of ideologies -- German 
originated ideology vs English originated ideologies, with 
Saddam and Bin Laden incarnating Heidegger and Bush incarnating 
Locke.   Very likely Saddam had nothing to do with causing 
9/11, but Chomsky and the BBC did have something to do with 
causing 9/11.

When one sees someone arguing that Americans had 9/11 coming,
he frequently starts quoting improbable facts that originate 
from Chomsky, and backs them up with one of the nuttier BBC 
correspondents.

Straw man. You keep bringing up the World Trade Center attack as if 
Saddam ordered it, or was involved in some central way. No credible 
evidence has been presented...not even the usually-unreliable 
sources...that Saddam was behind the 9/11 attacks. (Whether some Iraqis 
celebrated or not is beside the point...if that were the criterion for 
launching a war, we'd be at war with Syria, Egypt, France, China, and 
Malaysia, to name a few.)

Going after the actual planners, financiers, and attackers involved in 
the 9/11 attacks is of course justified.

Liberating Afghanistan and letting women in Kabul bare their legs and 
all was not justified (oh, and the women in Kabul are back to wearing 
scarves).

Inasmuch as Iraq and the Baath regime was never linked in any credible 
or substantive way, beyond the merest of maybe they met with Bin 
Laden's guys rumors, and inasmuch as a 9/11 link was never even 
alleged by warmongers like Cheney and Perle and Rumsfield, the claim 
that Iraq was attacked because of the World Trade Center attack is 
ludicrous.

You really are, down deep, a statist. You may have changed your stripes 
from supporting the Marxist variant of statism, but what you now 
support remains statism to the core.
