Replying to a message of Roy Witt to Bob Ackley:

 RW>>> The UN Security Council members France and German, which the US is a
 RW>>> voting member as well, backed away from the table. They were too
 RW>>> involved in figuring out how they were going to save their illegal
 RW>>> investments in Iraq. The US trumped that hand by telling them, in
 RW>>> essence, get fucked.

 BA>> Indeed it did, and in doing so earned the justified opprobrium of the
 BA>> rest of the planet.

 RW> Save for those who were very happy in their new found freedom from the
 RW> assasins of Saddam Hussien. Better liberty than death.

I suspect that the vast majority of Iraqis would prefer that the US had not 
conquered their country.  At least under Saddam they didn't have to deal with
daily bombings and sabotage.

 BA>>   The fact that the US went ahead and acted unilaterally and without
 BA>> UN sanction makes the US an outlaw state under international law.

 RW> You whacko liberals sure do hate your own country.

Nope.  Just the international criminals that are running it.

 RW> If the French found
 RW> their Eiffel Tower or their Arc de Triomphe in rubble, do you believe
 RW> they would seek our permission before launching their cheeses of mass
 RW> destruction on the perpetrator?

In that case the US should have conquered Saudi Arabia.

 BA>> At present there isn't a thing the rest of the world can do about
 BA>> that but they could, if they wanted to, get together and do
 BA>> something - and I'm not suggesting that this country be militarily
 BA>> attacked.  A military attack, even if it were feasible, is
 BA>> unnecessary because the US economy is far too vulnerable and could
 BA>> easily be seriously disrupted if not completely destroyed by
 BA>> coordinated actions by other nations.  I personally hope that they
 BA>> don't, though.

 RW> You sure do hate your own country...you should be ashamed of yourself.

Actually, you should be ashamed of your support of the outlaw regime running
the country.  Remember that living in a police state - which Bush minor is
creating - is kind of neat, but only as long as you're the police.
