Sisko, you had alluded to personal problems and left on your own. You were never asked to leave. You were always welcome here, even if some disagreed with your politics. |

Sisko: I get your strategy - it's called reverse psychology , works sometimes with kids, but I'm not sure how well it works with conservatives and ultra-right-ringers and republicans. OK - I'll keep on flying the colours even if you might have capitulated.

Hi Sisko! I'm new here and have a predicament. I'm trying to sneak into the NRA convention being held here in Pittsburgh. Can I borrow your NRA membership card for a day or two? I promise to give it back. You know, all in the nama of sistahood and all that stuff.

First of all, the case to go into Iraq is here. I have to keep posting it because the opposition prefers to ignore it and misrepresent our argument as purely WMD related: - Supporters of the UN should advocate an invasion of Iraq because of 1. The Saddam Regime’s use and obvious ownership of chemical weapons, 2. The Saddam Regime’s continuing violation of human rights, 3. The Saddam Regime’s violation of trade embargos, 4. The Saddam Regime’s refusal to admit Un inspectors, and 5. The Saddam Regime’s encouragement of terrorist activities, all of which violate UN resolutions and most of which are grounds for a UN-backed invasion of Iraq - Democracy advocates should hate the Saddam Regime for completely controlling elections and giving no citizens any voice – and hardly any rights - Anti-anti Semitics should hate the Saddam Regime for his desire to kill all Jews and his history of sending Scuds into Israel - Anti-terror advocates should hate the Saddam Regime for supporting Al Qaeda terrorists as well as sponsoring, harboring, and leading its own army of terrorists in activities against Iran, Kuwait, Israel, and the Western Powers - Humanitarians should hate the Saddam Regime for permitting the torture of its over 600 Kuwaiti, Indian, Syrian, Lebanese, Iranian, Egyptian, Bahraini, Omani, and American, yes American prisoners - Anti-Capital punishment advocates should hate the Saddam Regime for at least 1,500 political executions - Environmentalists should hate the Saddam Regime for its ecoterror activities including dumping millions of barrels – that’s barrels not gallons – of oil into the Persian Gulf and the lighting of Kuwaiti oil pumps on fire burning millions more unrefined gallons of oil, not to mention its use of chemical warfare and obvious attempts to obtain biological and nuclear capabilities - Minority rights activists should hate the Saddam Regime for not just its suppression of the Kurdish minority but the outright genocide Saddam has attempted to commit in Kurdistan - Human Rights activists should hate the Saddam Regime for using chemical weapons to kill thousands of Kurds in an attempt at genocide - Women’s Rights activists should hate the Saddam Regime for allowing women to be raped and murdered in front of their husbands as some sick form of punishment - Children’s Rights advocates should hate the Saddam Regime the forced labor of children, the conscription of children as young as 10-years old into the military against those childrens’ wills, and endorsing the rapes and murders of children in front of their parents as some sick, twisted form of punishment END Now, Bush's State of the Union address made 5 points for going to war - only ONE was WMDs. Second, just because he only made 5 points does not automatically disclude all the other arguments out there (see above, although that is only an excerpt from my speech, there are actually MORE points in favor of the war!). An argument need not be restricted to what one person said at one time, and then exclude all subjects. For example, although Bush made only 5 points I made the above speech only a couple weeks after Bush's State of the Union. Is my argument irrelevant because it did not stay within Bush's comments? He only has so much time to lay down a whole lot of points - and it can't be just about war. And the fact that I made these points and more prior to Iraq totally disproves your point Somer. In fact, I think I even have a videotape with the date on it as it was recorded at undergrad. |
