    And I’ll “smack” you every time you do it wendy and I’ll “smack” anyone else that does it too. They were mercenaries, human vermin, who set out to make their living by inflicting misery and terror on others – in Blackwater’s case they inflicted it mostly on unarmed civilians. To hell with them and to hell [...]

    I think that many saw the Blackwater guard killings more as a tipping point,

    Blackwater guards my ass. They were mercenaries. Call them what they were for goodness sake – mercenaries. They were mercenaries – hired killers who set out to make their living by violence and inflicting misery and terror on others. To hell with them and [...]

    As is the case with every reform and counter-reform movement. A seemingly ever increasing number of people seem to believe that typing a posting – or not even that typing a comment, or a tweet, constitutes meaningful action. Nope. Being prepared to put in the often enervating (and sometimes depressing) slog work is what constitutes [...]

    I’m just grateful that there are 48 hours in the day, that the good Lord gave us two pairs of hands, and that with just the teensiest bit of effort being in three places simultaneously is entirely manageable.

    Other than that I’m fine :-)

    As to Obama – he is a somewhat more effective (and therefore far more dangerous) version of his predecessor.

    What a wonderful example of American ahistoricism. You’ve really exceeded yourself. – Yes I’m being sarcastic.

    It took a normal, ordinary, woman, filled with a citizen’s dignity, to open the door for a black man to sit in that same bus decades later as President of the United States… No president gave her that seat, she [...]

    Including, be it said, the R2P war faction here at FDL Charles. I seem to recall both you and I being excoriated when we pointed out what would happen in Libya once the rebels won. I take no pleasure in my prediction that the regime that would follow Qhadaffi would be worse than his being [...]

    Anyone can recommend anything the big questions are can we win and thats a yes no.

    Fixed it for you. The only way the forthcoming open American on Iran and it’s people can be won is by occupying the place. And if you think that what the Iraki resistance did to your army is bad. (And yes [...]

    From now on, joint US and Afghan forces should be allowed to break down the doors to American homes in the middle of the night and haul away anyone they want and not worry about answering for it for a couple of days or so, if ever. And all that Stand Your Ground stuff when people [...]

    Günter Grass Declared Persona non Grata in Israel for a Poem

    Nose, Spite, Sharp blade, Cut, Ouch, doubleplusungood, and other words to that effect. The more they do this sort of thing the more Zionist regime and its apologists help me and others sway people who previously were doubtful about boycotting them and shunning their artists, [...]

    Recommended. The deligitimisation of the Apartheid Regime in Israel is gathering pace in Europe. This really is very simple Israel is a racist settler state just like Rhodesia and South Africa were. Boycott them and make it clear why. How do you do it. That too is simple: Shun Israeli artists, shun Israeli athletes both [...]

    No. Moreover I don’t know why having wasted your time posing the question you expect others to waste their time answering it. The answer to your question, Philip, as Shergald points out above is obvious.
