The War We Refuse To Win
On Wed, 12 May 2004 01:58:12 GMT, in a place far, far away, Scott
Lowther made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: This is not World War III, Yes, it is. You just don't realize it yet. Actually, it's WW IV. WW III was the Cold War (which fortunately didn't turn out as badly as many predicted). |

Of course, the same schmucks who want to deny the existence of "WWIV" are the same ones who wanted us to lose "WWIII"... -- Scott Lowther, Engineer Remove the obvious (capitalized) anti-spam gibberish from the reply-to e-mail address |

My tax dollars bought weapons of mass destruction. I say it's goddamned time we bring them out, and teach our enemies what REAL terror is. A troll like that just deserves a reply, because it's bugging me too. So are you suggesting even more abuse in response to ever more terror in response to ever more abuse, etc.? Wow! The nation that's made it to the Moon once has come a long way, going out of its way today to pursue much nobler pursuits, such as merciless retaliating and smiting the un-American...! I wouldn't mind the thoughts of vengeance as much if you could also succeed at something peaceful that takes brains. But, quite frankly, I don't see it happening any more. You've turned into dumb, bullying jocks. So, good luck with the avenging and the war-winning! I suppose you'll turn your attention back to space once the Chinese get a bit too far. Or maybe you'll be too busy bombing *them* by then for taking all that Middle Eastern oil that is yours by right because you fought for it. (Your domestic juice *is* running out fast.) Interesting times seem to be ahead... -- __ "A good leader knows when it's best to ignore the __ ('__` screams for help and focus on the bigger picture."

I think that Rumsfeld is not the most guilty person. His resignation by itself won't solve the problem. Rumsfeld rwesigning woudl send precisely the wrong message... that we are a bunch of pantywaists who are friggen' weak.

You've turned into dumb, bullying jocks. This from the land that gave the world Stormtroopers? Your whining might be taken seriously if it wasn't merciless day and night bombardment coupled with total land warfare that brought your nation to it's knees and ended your reign of terror.

All Germans should be condemned because of Nazi germany. All Muslims should be condemned because of Berg's beheading. Scott, whatever your ancestry, I very much doubt your ethnic group is free of sin.
