Am I not right? You can call this a stupid idea, I won't mind

Here's an idea that involves the ISP spending no money. Leave the problem to the east alone entirely. I wonder if settlements would still be churned out if Uncle Sam's backing was withdrawn.

Pissed because millions of people will be liberated from totalitarian rule ? Or pissed because millions of people will no longer be on the verge of starvation after their country is liberated and modernized like South Korea ? (thousands have already starved, more starvation avoided due in part to US grain shipments). Or just pissed because you're a pissy sort of guy?

Out of curiousity, Herb, is it really so difficult to imagine another possible reason? E.g. pissed because he thinks it will result in a sharp increase in the number of missiles being fired at him? I mean, you might disagree about whether this would happen, or who to blame if it does. But overlooking the possibility entirely seems a bit disingenuous, isn't it?

To my understanding the word bastard means: "a person whose parents were not married to each other when he or she was born".
I read the statistics and it seem that most childer in Syria happens to belong to married couples unlike the countries that are supposed to teach democracy to that unfortunate country.
IMHO the condition of being a "bastard" is not bad in itself. The problem is that many people tend to discriminate single-parent or no-parent children. This fact is reflected also in the language where the word "bastard" is also an insult.
I am rather confused. Can anybody enlighten me?

Why should Iraq's oil wealth go to the Palestinians? Isn't that for the Iraqs to decide? After all, the US doesn't own the Iraqi oil.

Although why you would need an ICBM to hit your next door neighbour, or even other Nuclear Powers like China, Russia, or even *hush* Israel is beyond me. Seems like a bit overkill.
Perhaps India plan to use it stop off at Harrods in London first for some fine wine and cheese before hitting one of its aforementioned targets?
That's a complete non sequitor from Thomas's quote.

Commentary From the Sidelines of history
That sounds serious! Have you thought of having your hearing tested? I heard that brain tumors can cause you to hear things that aren't there so you might want to think about an MRI or Cat scan. How often do you hear me saying these things? Does it happen on a regular basis or just once or twice? If it continues to happen and the CAT scan is negative you may want to think about a psychiatrist since hearing voices is a sign of schizoprenia. Do I ever tell you anything else like "shoot the dog" or "eat dirt"? You have me worried, Rufus. Please seek medical attention!Originally posted by Rufus BugleWeed:
I'm hearing you say the US should not concern itself with Palestinian issue?
