You are parrotting the right-wing's talking points.

Yeah, like you'd consider a party concerned about the environment, civil

Hey, the truth may hurt.

So invade a country or two that had nothing to do with the problem. That your

That is the heart of the issue. If Idi Amin or Pol Pot decides to kill
a few million of "their own" citizens, do they have the soverign right
to do so? Is there any such thing as universal human rights? Does the
government of China "own" Tibet or Taiwan? Do we stand aside from
genocides and starvation because intervention is, for some reason,
"unacceptable"?

Well, all I said was we could meet up - you were the first to claim you were
going to "post edit my face."

You then claim you will [insert various threat] and then back down.

You are really funny.

And Bush didn't bother about the UN either, or the opinion
of the UN inspectors. Seems he was all to scared about the
outcome of the final report, which was due in weeks.

The US are the swines in this case, and it is a shame
that you defend your government. A bloody disgrace it
is. Look at yourself.
