James A. Donald;
You have just told us that poor little Saddam is a victim.

Incorrect. I said no such thing, and you're being a twit by attempting to credit me with such statements.
You were telling us that the USG's terrible mistreatment of Saddam is a great shame on the US, which whatever it sounds like to you, sounds to me very like "poor little victimized Saddam"
I absolutely said no such thing. You are a liar. Please reference when I said anything about a "poor little vicimized Saddam", "Terrible mistreatment", or anything even similar. Fact is, you are full of shit. You are not only full of shit, but you are also attempting to further your statist goals by attacking people who might say that you are full of shit. No matter what I say, you will hear what you will hear. Which reaffirms my general conclusion, which is you're not interesting.
And you still have not told us your take on the fall of the two towers -perhaps like Chomsky you are going to tell us that it was a great crime -- which Americans should be terribly ashamed for forcing Bin Laden to commit?
Simple: the people who want to do things like knock over buildings, should die. That taxpayer funded operations should kill them is silly, for both the base reason and the effect. Getting back to what we were talking about, here's a bit that you didn't want to respond to:
As it stands, you seem only capable of attempting to impute motives to others that you imagine they might hold, based on wildy improbable chains of cause and effect in philosophical arguments and obscure cause and effect based on international relations in the '60s, bundled together with some sort of New American Century twine about how if we don't kill all the "ragheads" (your words, not mine), we'll be enslaved or worse.
As far as your babbling and frothing about how I and many others must be Saddam supporters, you're just not making any sense, intentionally ignoring what people say, and just generally acting like a fool. If you want to do something other than bat at strawmen and denounce the commies you keep seeing in your bedsheets, then please, begin to do so. Otherwise... Tim nailed it: you're just a statist who found a new god.
Are you going to babble, or respond? Read out loud as: "James Donald has failed to respond". Or perhaps, "James Donald only reponds when he can score a point." Really, if you want to talk, then talk. Terrorism is stopped at home. (Synonyms abound. Freedom fighters have killed lots of counter-ensurgents.) If you would like to do anything more than promote war profits, then at least be a patriot. At least patriots were statists that were interesting. James: Give up before you really squander your goodwill. -j -- Jamie Lawrence jal@jal.org
