OK, then it makes some sense. I think going into Iraq with a different strategy and for different reasons could have happened, and it could also have gotten a wider coalition. If the reasoning would have been: Saddam is a dictator, murdering his own people, he should be brought to justice blah blah blah then I think Europe would have backed it. Instead the Bush administration came up with the WMD theory, the fake Al-Qaida link and the fact that Iraq was a threat to US security (how laughable), and everyone in Europe immediately understood this was heading on the fasttrack to disaster.
you are simply wrong. you won't get away with the "we brave americans are saving the world"-phrase. you won't get away with pointing at other criminals in order to hide your own record. you won't get away with this cowboybootlike mentality "collateral damage happens, no big deal". you are the dominant military super power and you got many things at home plain wrong. it is about time that america stands straight for what it does. ... and becomes again what it was.
We don't answer to europe. I know that infuriates you and your fellow socialists, but get used to it. Now go put on your burkka before some muslim beats you.
you could not have summed it up any better. that is exactly the point. you have entered a sphere in which the only thing you need to reference to is your own current desire. international law? geneva? no time for these things right now, because you people have a mission, right? you got away with this in recent years. but this will end. at the height of power it feels like you have it all in your own hand. you are the judge and the law. but this will change. bill clinton got impeached for putting his dick into monica lewinsky and you reelect this poor guy who should rather stay at his ranch playing cards and drinking beer with the rest of half retarded american dreamers? and you dare to talk and swear about a continent that suffered more conflict on his home soil than all your celluloid war phantasies can host? you dare to talk about a europe that struggles in pain to settle century old concflicts in a very, very civilised manner? (we call it european community, i guess the term is new to you) you dare to claim that your reasons are honest, serious and sustainable? you dare to tell that corporate interest is not the top priority of you current administration, for which it is willing to suffer e v e r y t h i n g ? heard of kyoto? (guess again: you didn't, right?) y o u d a r e ?
you might have missed that europe is not all socialist and that in fact one of the european socialists you refer to is actually ... y o u r fellow.
my heart. oh. glad you are at least intelligent enough to ignore me ... . i need to rest ... (sighs and exit)
What part of "we don't answer to europe" don't you understand? You're nothing but a bunch of wimps, tiny fists balled up in impotent fury. Al qaeda dosen't respect you, your own muslim hordes don't respect you, and we certainly don't respect you. We can see that your obsessive focus on such things as the Interantional Criminal Court is a last gasp effort at exerting influence over the US. Frankly, we're not interested in your opinions or advice. Kyoto? What a joke. Who would have been forced to bear the brunt of it? Good ole US of A, while China , India and the "european community" carried on as usual. I really hope you can settle your historic problems in a civilized manner. We're tired of bailing your butt out, then listening to your whining. Before you lecture us poor dumb yokels any more, you should read up on American politics. Clinton was impeached for lying to a federal court in a lawsuit in which he was the defendant. That is called obstruction of justice, and he, his wife and half his administration should have gone to jail. There were numerous other grounds for impeachment covering corruption, abuse of power, misuse of confidential FBI records, etc.
Your first challenge would be to find an "Independent Court". One that has zero political bias. In times like these I'd be surprised if such a court even existed. Assuming you could find one, the answer would be no as there is no conclusive evidence that President Bush ordered the committing of an actual war crime. There would be endless arguement of what an actual war crime is. Your attempt to equate Bush with actual war criminals of the past is a fails the sniff test of political bias that serves no purpose other than to smear. And, I happen to think the President is a total fuck up in regards to his administering of the war effort. I can't imagine what his supporters think of you fictional court, but I can guess.....moonbat!
i think i can prolongue my tiny impotent existence a little longer even suffering from the disrespect of this exclusive circle consisting of al qaeda, muslim "hordes" and ... yourself. though, admittedly, seeing you among them ... doesn't surprise, but hurts ... no, actually suprises too. We can see that your obsessive focus on such things as the Interantional Criminal Court is a last gasp effort at exerting influence over the US. Frankly, we're not interested in your opinions or advice.[/QUOTE] i am afraid you are doing yourself too much of honor if you seriously think the court was designed for ... you. see, these tiny fists of ours believe in power AND justice. even against those who are IN power. Kyoto? What a joke. Who would have been forced to bear the brunt of it? Good ole US of A, while China , India and the "european community" carried on as usual. [/QUOTE] hear, hear. good ole US of A, we stop killing the planet as soon as everybody else has! yes! not with us, chinese indian mushrooms (tiny?)! I really hope you can settle your historic problems in a civilized manner. We're tired of bailing your butt out, then listening to your whining. [/QUOTE] thank you so much for these kind words in between. (btw how about your own butt in recent decades?) Before you lecture us poor dumb yokels any more, you should read up on American politics. Clinton was impeached for lying to a federal court in a lawsuit in which he was the defendant. That is called obstruction of justice, and he, his wife and half his administration should have gone to jail. There were numerous other grounds for impeachment covering corruption, abuse of power, misuse of confidential FBI records, etc. [/QUOTE] dinosaurs and human beings did not live in the same age and the earth is slightly older than 6000 years. just in case you believed that stuff the reps and their (good ole?) christians proclaim too.
right. but then again, is it better not to create such a court, or not even try? Assuming you could find one, the answer would be no as there is no conclusive evidence that President Bush ordered the committing of an actual war crime. There would be endless arguement of what an actual war crime is.[/QUOTE] we need that kind of argument. on war crime and ... on torture. Your attempt to equate Bush with actual war criminals of the past is a fails the sniff test of political bias that serves no purpose other than to smear.[/QUOTE] touche. though i was not really aware of it until the belt showed up ... And, I happen to think the President is a total fuck up in regards to his administering of the war effort. I can't imagine what his supporters think of you fictional court, but I can guess.....moonbat! [/QUOTE] see, for the land of justice and democracy both things are a shame: the supreme court decision to end the florida count and the decision not to ratify the international court. political gaming back and forth. for a nation with your record: a shame.
