Going OT Re: (no subject)

Bleeeeccch !! That is like a deliberate troll or by someone too brainless to be allowed access to a computer and intelligent commentary. Reminds me of the bully in the schoolyard, " you're a jew and killed Christ so I'm gonna take all your marbles" Not all the world believes the US has the right to control it all. And this list is world-wide so you may not get the easy acquiescence of your US tv-news watching buddies. Don't think you can throw out crap like this unopposed. I might remind you also that the oppressive Saudi- Arabian regime is the US's most closely alligned arab client state in the mid-east next to Kuwait. Bin Lauden's Saudi-Arabian fortunes came from your gas expenses, he was financed in the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan by the US via Pakistan, an oppressive nuclear bomb possessing oligarchy, and Hassan was supplied with chemical agents and stuff like Anthrax by the US back when he was their buddy and Iran the enemy. It's well documented. Just stop taking your views from the managed corporate press and approach it like you would investigating an old computer. Unless you take your computer info from the domestic media. Microsoft, our benefactor. This is just racist crap to justify dreams of world domination by retrograde southerners, still pissed off they lost the civil war and had to give up slavery, or fundamentalists with their own scary visions of an inquisition-based new world order. At one time the arab world was the most advanced, just, and civilized center of the world and gave us most of the basis for later advances in science, and artists such as Omar Khayam and others like the Sufis while Europe was still wallowing in the horrendous middle ages. Their contributions equalled or surpassed ancient Greece. Try reading history. There were millions of demonstrators around the world, as well as several million in the US this past weekend, that disagree with the Bush administration's or the CNN spindoctor's take on this as well as millions of others who either don't go to demos, or up here in Canada didn't brave the subzero temperatures which still resulted in 100,000 in Montreal at -29C and 80,000 in Toronto at -20. and there were religious,union, youth groups of all ages and in all areas. And the same was true in these US. Let's keep this ideological crap off the list and then I don't have to further the OTism with non-ameriKKKan responses and diatribes. My apologies to the list but unopposed statements becomes truth. My daddy always said don't discuss religion or politics in polite company.
