How would the US react if 10 per cent of their population (primarily young males) was killed in war on their soil? How would the US react if 500,000 people were killed in less than two years in a war on their soil? And how would you feel if the blustering country sat out both wars for three years while your civilians and military were being slaughtered? And you gave a nice statue and a third of their territory. Geez, I'd think, what a bunch of assholes. 6392@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Mar 2003 18:22:02 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/03/28/115609.php#comment-6361 I quote that classic of contemporary philosophy, the movie Men in Black: -"Why the big secret? People are smart, they can handle it." -"A person is smart. People are dumb." 6361@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Mar 2003 13:47:27 EST
