"Eight thousand troops  gathered in a makeshift parade ground in northern Kuwait to hear a stirring address by US Lt General James Conway"

No comment.

His Mirage's are French

[Stryke 9]

My point was, he's got the military equivalent of a "MADE IN TAIWAN" sign stamped on all his crap, when with the money he sends to Palestine he COULD be amassing some VERY nice hardware right now- depending on what Korea's selling for, probably even the parts to a nuke, seeing how anxious they are to force the US into responding. I understand it's a popularity thing, but right now it'd be much more important for him to have some weaponry that isn't about 40 years old (yeah, Mirages aren't 40, but they aren't very nice planes, either) than it is to keep up an undeserved image as the "Liberator of Palestine" (what I wonder is how he got THAT from invading Kuwait, too). Not suggesting anything, so don't bother read **** into my posts, I'm just noting that something freaky is going on.

An article I read in New Week the other day about the interview between Saddam and Dan Rather made a good point. As everyone knows Saddam controls Iraq through fear, everyone spies on everyone for him. The point they made was the invasion of Kuwait was meant to start a war with outside forces, in order to have yet another form of fear,... Iraq already had fear within,...now they gained fear from without.  It also made an major effort to point out just how calm and stress-free Saddam was about the entire situation going on currently.

Funny thing is, even Britain decided to pull its support from Bush... haha, now the US is simply a terroist country that's going to invade without any allowance or approval.

and you base this statement(one that is quite beyond doubt, fanciful nonsense) on what?

The UN gives approval for this kinda thing riiiight? Therefore if they don't give reach a positive consensus it's unapproved riiiight? Then can't we conclude it's an unapproved act (assuming UN doesn't approve it soon or at all)?

Don't you call an unapproved show of force terroism?


In case you can't understand or accept what's said above

ter?ror?ism    P   Pronunciation Key  (tr-rzm)
n.

The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

Note also CP's post

People are not the only thing that matters; tech level, production capability and economic power/influence are possibly more important. The main idea here is to make guys like North Korea stay low by threatening to go after them next. Still, the US does still have a considerable percentage of its own population following them, which is really what matters on the propaganda front.

Do you think that the only people who are terroists are those who the media, populace or your beloved political leaders exclaim wildly to be?


Tell me, what do you think this is and what it's for? (Bush's lil' war)

bah, the US approves of it and decides that it is lawful, and since they are the ones with the power to carry it out, it is indeed approved and lawful. You might as well ask Saddam whether or not he approves of it and decide its lawfulness based on that.

[Kamikaze]

pfff, don't wreck my idealogical world!

[CP5670]

but my idea world is better than your because it has math!

[Kamikaze]

Well... my world has math too... I'd just like it to be a world without nasty omega-inconsistencies. The idealogical formal system world.

[CP5670]

alright, then go by my stuff! no approved, lawful, etc. nonsense = no consistency problems.

just noticed this by the way:

Don't you call an unapproved show of force terroism?

Unapproved sitting in chairs is an act of terrorism against the chairs.

w00t *has turned it into a math thread*

though really.. the world of math is infinitely better than the world of politics

[CP5670]

yes indeed, the world of math is better than the rest of the universe.

Now if we really want a math thread here, I have hundreds of pages of special function proofs on my hard drive; just need to select some stuff from that...

I find no end of amusement that this political thread might, after 8 (standard) pages, get locked because it turned into a math thread.

Go ahead, call it terrorisim against math. See if I give a hoot.

If I were an admin, I would have banned you for a week if you would do that.
