It seems the "left" starts at Vichy France) if the Bush junta (1 : a council or committee for political or governmental purposes; especially : a group of persons controlling a government especially after a revolutionary seizure of power) has a hankerin' for frontier justice (why is it Shrub isn't a stupid man, he just plays one on teevee?) to nuke Baghdad, don't they just go ahead and do it? Nuke Iraq, and then armoured by their convictions and that justice will out, turn themselves in to the Hague and triumph in trial. After all, if they are as right as they say, it won't be a war crime or crime against humanity, but a police action. After all isn't that what Milosvic is claiming? They could get David E. Kelley to write the script for them. Rumsfeld could get some botox, Shrub could get some dialogue coaching, and then get a fair trial. Or do they not have the guts? ]]> 2915@blogcritics.org Mon, 20 Jan 2003 23:33:23 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/01/20/135818.php#comment-2914 I'm just watching The National, the CBC's news teevee show, and a couple things strike me about 'murricans (and please don't drop a bomb on me and claim it was cause you were all hopped up on goofballs). One was a fighter pilot who wants to win the War on Terror by bombing Baghdad. Since when did Bin Laden take up residence in Iraq? Shouldn't you be bombing Saudi Arabia? Second, if you want to fight weapons of mass destruction, where is the campaign to confiscate machetes in Central Africa, and mobilize PETA to stop cannibalism of Pygmies (ok, my bad, they're people, not fuzzy little bunnies, but couldn't we just pretend for this one time, honest humanitarian concerns from 'murrican stewdents won't be asked of again). And thirdly does the news India is leasing submarine and missle carriers which are nuclear capable scare anybody? Anybody? ]]> 2914@blogcritics.org Mon, 20 Jan 2003 23:00:18 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/01/20/135818.php#comment-2913 I'm just watching The National, the CBC's news teevee show, and a couple things strike me about 'murricans (and please don't drop a bomb on me and claim it was cause you were all hopped up on goofballs).
