[sigh] Well, if needs must...

HELLO? Earth to PRESIDENT QUIM? You're starting a WORLD WAR that even the GERMANS don't want to join? Shouldn't that be telling you something?

The charter of the UN makes it QUITE CLEAR though in words maybe a BIT LONG for MINGE THE MERCILESS that unless another country is [censored]ING INVADING YOU or your ally then you LEAVE them THE [censored] ALONE.

IS Iraq invading you? Hint: NO. Even if we allow that THAT [censored]ED-UP WORLD TRADE CENTER [censored] was an invasion -- that WASN'T IRAQ. Fabricated and fabulated evidence of a connection is NOT A GOOD PRETEXT for wars of aggression in OTHER [censored]S' SOVEREIGN TERRITORIES.

If LORD LADYGARDEN got up in front of the GUERNICA TAPESTRY at the United Nations (without its CURTAINS ACROSS IT) and said "We are CONTRAVENING international LAW to foment and wage a [censored]ING BIG WAR. We are sending your SONS and your BROTHERS to die in the SAND to safeguard our OIL SUPPLY, our ECONOMY, and our CURRENCY. If you would look for the MONUMENT to their SACRIFICES, go to your nearest GAS STATION, taking the CAR if it's more than a HUNDRED YARDS. Outside it will be a board announcing the PRICE OF GAS. Salute it, for it is for THAT AND THAT ALONE that our countrymen will have DIED; for THAT AND THAT ALONE that CHILDREN'S CORPSES with AMERICAN BULLETS in them will be on every STREET CORNER in Baghdad." -- if he said all that, again maybe ASKING for HELP with the LONG WORDS, then he'd still be as MISGUIDED as TRIPLE [censored], but at least he'd be HONEST. As it is, you don't need to be a [censored]-THICK INBRED TEXAN [censored]NOZZLE to see that he's a LIAR and, worse, the sort of LIAR who doesn't think his OWN COUNTRY is worth LYING TO WELL.

PS. Personally, I find this all much harder work than the informed and civil debate was -- could we maybe go back to that please? Just a thought. Ta.
