drunk it is...

who's more predictable?
Moore's supporters or his detractors?
hard to tell some days....

I'll be buying my ticket this weekend and watching the movie and will probably be entertained for 90 minutes. That's all I ask, and hey, it might even stir up some conversation and debate. That's never a bad thing.

drunk?
FYI,
since the begining of April,
I shoot myself with LSD, 3-5 times a day,
you have a problem with that?

I think they are more likely along the lines of ...

What should our post Cold War policy transform into given that 9-11 happened?

What could be worse than 9-11 and what can we do to prevent those possibilities?

Should we continue and even escalate the pre-emptive strikes policy used in the 1990s?

How should we deal with "rogue regimes" in light of 9-11?

Given the above, what kind of response to 9-11 are we prepared with at this point? (Until that date, not coincidentally, the US military had prepared largely for land wars intending to overthrow and replace regimes).

You know, the kind of things everyone - including us citizens - with an interest in foreign policy has been asking themselves since that fateful day.

And yes, in the end, one man made the final decision but there were literally hundreds who had influence and a voice, including National Defense Council members and the Department of Defense. The question was not "who has responsibility" but rather "how did that decision come about"?

As far as "freedom", maybe it's an illusion like that preceding World War I
but it sure looks like major powers war is over. Why? Maybe it's the newest round of globalization - economies integrated into a functioning whole. If so, Middle East Democracies - if they indeed can be created by the sword - may be the solution to Middle Eastern violence. Side note: this would also seem to indicate that a war between the US and China is highly unlikely.

That's ok, I do not judge you.

Because, like my avatar now says, I love everyone...


Let's be friends

(despite all this non-sense, I still am a big believer in the shades of gray philosophy and I have been since I can remember.)

this is a sure sign of maturity and multi-dimensional mind

Colin, isn't North Korea a "rogue regime" as well? they have developed and threatened to use nuclear weapons directly on a US ally. Isn't that an issue?

Isn't Iran a "rogue regime"? They are also actively developing nuclear weapons, have recently taken a number of brits hostage (arrested, technicality!), and threaten to destable the entire middle east even more than it already is?

Only Iraq got "treatment A"... everyone else is getting "let's talk".

Why?

Alkex,
your zest for "Paint me anti-Bush" is lacking those "256 shades of grey": either.

One will NEVER become an analytical mind using only black and white colors.

Looking at two of you squabling gives me more appreciation for my own brain. [/b][/quote]
someone finally appreciates you for your brain, and not just the package it omes in. and it only took 30 something years;) congratulations:)

heres a spinoff,

how is Korea going to reat to its beheading, from what i have been reading there is an insurgency of people in that country that are very angry at their government for not providing protections.


Will there be retaliations?
