That means little unless you'd like to give me something more substantive.

I won't point out how it is wrong and racist. That is obvious. Because we know black people or latinos are all against war. Only white people have desires to kill.

Not only are you a stupid white guy, you are also logically inept.

It's the stupidity that is the problem, not the whiteness. What is wrong with pointing out a fact - most of the pro-war opinion is from stupid white guys. That's no more racist than pointing out the higher rate of incarceration for blacks or the fact that they dominate the NBA.

And I suspect that post was directed at me. I'm not some comptuer geek. I have spent 8 years in the U.S. Navy. And I am much older than most of you. And while I may not be as intellient (all though I think I am

), I am certainly wiser with the ways the world works. Many of you are in high school and are taught how the world should be. Well the sad truth is the world is not that way.

Patronising ****. Wiser in the way the world works, give me a break. I haven't seen anything other than whining from you.

Projecting there anarchitst?

Are these some of your boys we are dogging out?

why is it necessary to point out the stupid guys are white?

you are the racist, not me.

You could have said they are stupid guys. But no, you had to say they were stupid white guys. Why did you feel the need to specify what race they are?

and how am I whining? I am at peace with peace activists. I can care less what they do. I realize they are all trolls.

Case closed. In fact this thread is not necessary because I have setttled my differences with anti-war people. Nothing more needs to be said.

Do the anti-war protestors in your country praise the Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah and shout slogans that all jews should be gassed too, like here in Belgium?

Yeah right, 76% of the world is pro-war, that's a stretch. Why then are most of the members of your coalition afraid to show their faces? Here in Canada, it's more like 76% opposed. But then I guess we don't count when it comes to international decisions, we're just America's serfs.

I think he meant 76% of the US

but i think that is still a stretch. Either way i sense a good deal of hostility in your post, especially about that 'america's serfs' thing. Dont worry, we all know Mexico is our real serf

I borrowed the phrase from him but I give it a different meaning. I'm talking about the stupid white men aged 25-45 who are as I described in earlier posts. I'm sure everyone has met one of them: barroom generals, pub politicians, etc.

Just as much a natural kind as "Feminazis" or some other class in the right wing demonology.

Why don't you dress up in that stuff and let me lob some stuff at you and see if you notice. The police do not exist in order to serve as punching bags for adults who haven't managed to get beyond toddler status emotionally.

That's right. Nothing.

Oh I forgot. Sanctions. The same sanctions the anti-war protestors were against.

What were Americans doing about Iraq one year before Bush put Iraq on his hit list. That's right. Nothing.

During the dozen years after the first Gulf War, the UN ,with US support, found and destroyed Iraq's ability to manufacture "weapons of mass destruction" Stockpiles of chemical weapons were destroyed. Sanctions contributed to the reduction of the Iraqi army capabilities.

So the UN and the US were dealing with Iraq. And it worked. Iraq was not a threat.

As for anti-war protestors being against the sanctions, you know that is not true. Some protesters would likely be against it, others in favour of it.

Opinions about the sanctions changed as time went by. What was effective 10 years ago, was achieving smaller returns two years ago.

Except on and off bombing of Iraq ever since the inspectors left.

This is false. Go take a look at the major anti-war organizations and groups: For one, International ANSWER condemns the sanctions (if you didn't know, they are the primary anti-war organization, at least in San Francisco where I live). Cursory inspections of other major anti-war sites all seem to support the correlation between anti-sanctions and anti-war.
