I'm not sorry when ANY US embassies are blown up.

Hope somebody blows up another one tomorrow!

Go to
http://site034145.primehost.com/articles/0397/kubarkin.htm
for only a small part of the reason I think the US deserves
it.

Pfooey on Uncle Sam.

J., it's the Jews too.

In order for Republicans & Democrats to get the Jewish vote & the Fundie
Xian vote, the US must continue to arm Israel.

Probably, Jewish money / bankers also have something to do with the US
often standing virtually alone with Israel in the UN.

Also probably, the US wants to keep the Moslems destabilized.  United
Islam & the US wouldn't be able to count on Middle East oil's continued
availability.

& then there's Iran where goddamn Uncle Sam put the Shah back on his
throne & trained his SAVAK torture police.

& then there's Guatemale where goddamn Uncle Sam deposed (& murdered?
I've forgotten the details) Arbenz & instituted & regularly trained govt.
killers.

& govt. killers in Chile & El Salvador & Nicaragua & here & there in Africa.
Etc.

You're probably white, Kevin, & Canada generally stands with the US
in the UN & on US America's battlefields.

Myself, I wish I were living in New Zealand where the New Zealanders wisely
won't let goddamn Uncle Sam bring in his goddamn nukes.

Pfooey on Uncle Sam.

If the Moslems or the commies or whomever continue to kill Uncle Sam's
minions in
foreign lands, it's OK by me.

If the Moslems or the commies or whomever, finally nuke Wall St. or DC to
get Uncle
Sam out of their business, that's OK with me too.  Just so long as my buddy
in Arlington
& his family aren't casualties.

I like your enthousiasm... but I find that believing the president still
has any kind of power to be quite naive. The power is in the hands of big
corporations now, for better or (probably the) worse.

	I'm sorry, no matter what you may feel about the American
government's "real world" policies towards the rest of Earth, there is
absolutely no fucking justification for the mass-murder of innocents.
You have a problem, you raise an army and you put warriors on the
field and you fight it out with honor.  Bombs are the tools of cowards
and fools, and there will be retribution.

	Elf, your "warriors" are mostly scared-shitless young kids who signed
up because they believed some stupid ad proclaiming that army will make them
"all they can be" -- dead meat in this particular case, I imagine. Or,
perhaps they simply had a cruel streak and thought it would be cool to wave
a gun around and shoot someone ever once in a while.
	There may be honor in combat, but there is no honor in death --
certainly not in death of innocent, scared, somewhat cruel and selfish young
kids. They are no different from the rest of the "innocents" except they
have been taught how to pull the trigger. They are not honorable warriors
who come to fight for their ideals or to test their skills -- they are sheep
being led to slaughter. There is honor in combat and there is honor in
defending your land and your people, but there is no honor in war.

If we just conquered the whole world, then they wouldn't be foriegn

The bombing of OK City proved that foreigners aren't alone kicking
Uncle Sam.

Back in the Vietnam War, a math research center (used by Uncle Sam)
was blown up, at U. Wisconsin if memory serves.

& I heard rumors (squelched by Uncle Sam?) that some trains carrying
missles in the heartland were derailed.

Etc.

I have one thing to say to you:

FUCK YOU for thinking that it's okay to kill people, whatever your

who applaud the murder of other people. It was someone with your
dipshit attitude towards the US that killed 186 people, including
innocent children, in Oklahoma. It's a dipshit attitude like yours
towards other countries that propogates the Troubles in NI. It's
dipshit people like you that think the it's laudable to kill
civilians.

And, you'd best hope your friends in Arlington are never hurt, and
that their families never have to suffer the loss that the families of
the victims of terrorists and other cowards. There are far too many
dipshits in this world with the potential to kill others needlessly.

Don't reply, I have nothing further to discuss with you on this

Aren't we all a bunch of self-righteous prigs?

I wish it were a world where the worse offence against society was double
parking, but it's not, nor will it be anytime soon. So we will all
participate in organised violence. The choice is are you the killer or the
killed. If you're the killer, in person or by proxy.

Quakers, Tibetan monks, and few others have demonstrated their willingness
to be killed without retalition. The rest of us haven't. Instead we create
governments that promise to kill them before they kill us. And to do so we
induce fresh young bodies to kill and be killed on our behalf.

Now if you're willing to say, "Kill me, imprison me, torture me, just
don't kill in my name," then fine, harp away. Otherwise They aren't doing
it, We are. Take some responsibilty for your part in the game.

In particular, if you ridicule or harass soldiers because some particular
war was bad idea (almost always the case), who do you expect to be your
proxy the next time someone scares the shit out of you? If you expect some
boy to die in your place, why not give him some big words like honour and
courage? Why not save the energy of your anger for politicians and society
as a whole?


For some reason, true pacificists seem more unwilling to criticise the
violence of others than those of us who hide behind our armies.

Sometimes I wonder if the Americans who gripe about America's treatment of
other nations have ever really been abroad. The US Government is actually
one of the more careful of the Meddler nations. Take a look at the French,
or at how the Indians/Asians meddle in the affairs of their neighbors.

Most XXC US atrocities can be acredited to one of the following:
-Taking care of US citizens' interests first
-Taking care of Lobbyists interests
   (mostly, but not always doomed to failure)
-Backing the wrong guy by mistake/incompetence
-Just plain fucking up.

Bob's rantings about the embassies are just Bob trolling for outrage. I
doubt even Bob would approve of offing 18 innocents for every American.

The ever-so-militaristic Wayne's
"Green Berets" was but a recruiting
film that, in many circles, is rec-
ognized as having helped to prolong
American involvement in Vietnam.
And, given the films' propagandist-
ic nature, it was in fact very "st-

How could you say that? Now I suppose you're going to tell me that M*A*S*H
wasn't a historically accurate picture of the Korean Front in WWII. I
mean, M*A*S*H was one of the grittiest TV Series about war that I've ever
seen, and was almost as realistic as Sgt. Rock Comix. Steven Spielberg is
just making up excuses for why he dodged the draft during the last war.

Marvel's Sgt. Fury was even more idiotic than DC's Sgt. Rock.
I read 'em both.

Also Gunner, Sarge, & Pooch.

Didn't get into DC's Haunted Tank or Amerindian pilot

Or dinosaur war stories, tho they were probably cool.

Any American young man who wasn't a total fool dodged the Vietnam War draft.
I dodged it.

I wrote Foreign Language Press in Peking & asked for (& received)
Mao's Red Book.

I wrote an Army recruiter & claimed that I wanted to kill Vietnamese
villagers & eat
burnt dead bodies & feel veins in my teeth.  (So, I plagerized Arlo
Guthrie.)

Etc.

Marc, it's the hypocritical draft dodgers of my generation I detest.  Those

   Fuck that shit, Elf.

   Bombs are the tools of those who lack the *power* to "fight it out with
honour". The "rules of war" you mention above are a crock of shit designed
to somehow "legitimate" the use of force by those countries with the
advantage in fielding mass armies - the prime example at present being
America.

   One notes that during the Gulf War, America deliberately bombed
civilian infrastructures, and is the enforcer of the current sanctions
with deadly results. The Americans *invented* the idea of strategic
bombardment, chose to drop two nuclear bombs on *cities* during WWII,
deliberately blew the shit out of South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia while
warring against *North Vietnam*, and was one half of a MAD pact to fuck up
the world environment if they got annoyed enough.

   It is correct to object to the killing of African civilians in striking
against American embassies. *That* is a barbaric act. But the blowing up
of the embassy in the Lebenon a while back, to take one example, was an
act of war - even if you object to the reasons of those fighting.

   America has civilian blood on its hands in Central America, South
America, the Middle East, Asia and Indonesia. There are many groups who
see striking against facilities of the government of America, such as
embassies, as a retaliation in an ongoing conflict. Argue that killing
African civilians in doing so is immoral, if you like, but don't give us
bullshit about it being immoral unless they march troops into the field
for technically superior forces to slaughter.

   If I were in your place, I'd be worried about the fact that you've made
so many enemies, in a time when the means for massive destruction via
nuclear or biological weapons is becoming more and more dispersed.

186 ain't shit.

How many at Hiroshima?

Fair is fair.  If it's OK to kill foreign kids, it's OK to kill US kids.

Maybe the goddamn British ought to just LEAVE NI & maybe
the killing will stop.  Maybe the Catholic majority of Ireland
will need to 'pacify' the Protestant minority a bit, but afterwards
there should be relative peace.

& by the way, dumb-shit, did you know that all the shit in Ireland
started 100s of years ago when goddamn Scotch Presbyterians
COLONIZED Ireland & Ireland's Catholic natives were forced off
their land.

& circa 150 years ago, the occupationist land-stealers allowed

Famine.

Uncle Sam is the #1 terrorist in the world.
Uncle Sam killing babies created bad karma.
For karma to be balanced, US babies will be killed.

The (bad) karmic cycle needs to be ended.  It won't end by
other countries being nice to the US.  Rather the US, being #1 &

Really?!  I knew it to be one
of the most frequently banned
books in history.  But I wasn't
aware that its author was one
of its censors.  Pity.
Do you know where I might be
able to verify this?

You mean it isn't already an Olympic sport, !**?#!#$ ???!!!!

It's long been an official US sport, tho it's generally
(but not exclusively -- remember Ludlow)
played on foreign fields.

Pfooey on Uncle Sam & all his toadies.

back off re US being the #1 terrorist nation in the world

At times Uncle Sam drafts soldiers.
& some veterans end up worse than dead -- permanently disabled,
living out hellish lives in veterans hospitals when the only sex available
for disabled, whose dick wasn't blown or shot off, is homosexual sex.

Those probably make Rangers.

The hell you say!!!!!

>but there is no honor in death --


Even less than zero in permanent disability, to the degree that one ends up
damned spend the rest of one's life in veterans hospital.

>certainly not in death of innocent, scared, somewhat cruel and selfish
young
>kids.

This sounds like another lecture.

>They are no different from the rest of the "innocents" except they
>have been taught how to pull the trigger.

The big difference is that Uncle Sam's hitmen do their hitting in foreign
countries where foreign innocents are slaughtered but innocents in the
hitmen's families are at no risk of slaughter back home.

But maybe that unfair US advantage is evaporating.  I hope so.
Uncle Sam ain't going to quit slaughtering innocents until he
fears that his actions put his own innocents at risk.

No justice, no peace.
