I certainly don't wish power cuts, water shortages, raw sewage and sleeping in the street to anyone anywhere. But we do live on one small planet and until we can care as much about what happens to fellow humans in foreign-sounding places as we care about our own patch of ground, there's never going to be any real progress. 15166@blogcritics.org Sun, 17 Aug 2003 15:33:23 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/08/17/093121.php#comment-15165 Noted. My points are more weather-resistant. There is poetic justice in watching people who supported the war, but who have expressed no sympathy for the subsequent travails of Iraqis, suddenly getting a taste of their own medicine. Not that I'm gloating or anything. That would be unseemly. 15165@blogcritics.org Sun, 17 Aug 2003 14:47:03 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/08/17/093121.php#comment-15162 Please note comment on "Another Schwarzenegger racist connection" post about broad brush 15162@blogcritics.org Sun, 17 Aug 2003 13:42:27 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/08/17/093121.php#comment-15159 I think this falls under the categories I have established for the war: "What Goes Around Comes Around"; "What's Good for the Goose is Good for the Gander"; "The French Are Laughing Now"; "We will make Iraq a Mirror Image of the U.S.'s vibrant free market democracy"; "Excuse Me While I Bathe in Some Raw Cleveland Sewage"; "Brother, Can You Spare A Grid?" "The U.S. Is Turning Into A Frigging Third World Country"; all of the above subsumed under the heading "Told You So, You Pro-Wars." Not that I'm gloating or anything. That would be unseemly. 15159@blogcritics.org Sun, 17 Aug 2003 13:04:00 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/08/17/093121.php#comment-15157 Good point A, but wherever I am is more important than anywhere else. 15157@blogcritics.org Sun, 17 Aug 2003 12:52:12 EDT
