If you have ever done any business in any of those countries then you'll quickly discover the value of the saying: "Actions speak louder than words". Having a contract there written up means nothing, looks like it is more a letter of intend than anything else. Basically they regard as something to wipe their backside with. And the courts being what they are, they do not give you much succes in enforcing anything, escpecially if you are a foreigner. Peace
Interesting comment. Welp....actions DID speak louder than words. Saddam got stomped and is now gone. peace axeman
Hey, look... they're Brake Dancing! Photo caption: "Iraqis dance on a wrecked car attacked 31 March 2004 in the flashpoint town of Fallujah. At least seven people were killed in attacks in western Iraq."
And the ordinary population regards that as one dictator replacing another dictator. That has always been their history when there was a change of power. In these countries it used to be that anyone who dares to question the current ruling regime was very quickly shut up (permanently). Now they are like children testing the boundaries how far they can go. And as with parents: until these parents slap them hard they think it is all a game and that the other person is a weakling. Look at the bomber in Bali, he poses for the camera like he is a hero. More and more I am starting to believe that our "western civilized justice system" ain't working too well in countries that have such a different culture. Peace
what powell is really saying in this photo: "Hey, can you believe they actually PAY us to do this government shuffle job? Is that Grecian Formula 16 you're usin' there, Ger? I gotz yah try me suma that."
what the Iraqi oil minister is really thinking... (notice where his right hand finger is pointing?) "You need oil? You American pigs can suck on this."
What does this have to do with the ability of each and every person, or race of people, to display unlimited savagery and high levels of inhumanity? Have you forgotten Serbia? Bosnia? China? USA? The Iraqis have not discovered anything new. We've all done it at one time or another. BTW. Where are you from, that you don't know this stuff already? Did you go to school?
The U.S.A. And where you from? Didn't hear you. And uh.....You forgot Pearl Harbor and 9/11? Or have you not heard of one or the other? Just in case you don't "remember", this country (U.S.A.) has done more great and noble deeds for this world than any other country ever DREAMED of doing. Has everything the U.S. done been good and noble? Of course not. (So you can keep your list in your pocket, if you please.) But then, why be a pessimist? That may be what separates us from all the rest. Don't hate the player, hate the game. I'm against the terrorists' game. How 'bout you?
