These threads help toe get teh apocaplypse ball rolling.
people who haven't been around for months will come out of the woodwork for a good war thread.
apocalypse...no such thing. Certainly not an autonomous thing. People have to make a decision to let those missiles fly. I wouldn't put any politician on the level of prophet.

ok
the numbers I posted were for March 2006
they vary a little month to month but only a few tenths of a percent.
the first number is barrels in thousands, the second is percent of imports, the third is percent of domestic product supplied.
canada supplies 10% of america's oil.
dude...
you brought it up.
do you remember if you had a point?
and the US immediately cut diplomatic ties...
making our "support" of "democracy" even more of a joke.

The statement is "support for the democracies that agree with us". And if a regime agrees with us, lets support them too !. Like it happened many many times, and people seems to keep forgeting when demagogic speaches come along speaking about freedom for some country, justifiying a war that is so obvious its not about freedom.
They keep forgeting the many regimes America supported and also established in the 60's 70's and 80's just because they needed friends against the soviets.
But well, that's what you get when you can only have two options to vote for. America should check the type of freedom they really have, before trying to impose a democracy somewhere else.

Gingrich says it's World War III
Posted by David Postman at 12:54 PM
Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich says America is in World War III and President Bush should say so. In an interview in Bellevue this morning Gingrich said Bush should call a joint session of Congress the first week of September and talk about global military conflicts in much starker terms than have been heard from the president.
(snip)
Gingrich said in the coming days he plans to speak out publicly, and to the Administration, about the need to recognize that America is in World War III.
He lists wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, this week's bomb attacks in India, North Korean nuclear threats, terrorist arrests and investigations in Florida, Canada and Britain, and violence in Israel and Lebanon as evidence of World War III. He said Bush needs to deliver a speech to Congress and "connect all the dots" for Americans.

It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.

Well, the Americans have been involved in so many shady deals over the past century or more and now it is all locking into place and everything is hitting a boiling point. No doubt that the American ideal as a representation of teir empire is in utter decline. There was a chance to stand up and show the world a good honest organizational level of human society, but they have failed and the stark reality has been hitting home for years now.
A close ally of America is Saudi Arabia...not exactly the most democratic of liberal of countries!
In an aside, Israel killed seven of my countrymen including four children. Go Israel!

Well, yeah. Of course we'd only support those regimes/democracies/etc that agree with us. So? So does everybody else. Are we supposed to apologize for our self-interest? I don't think so. As a matter of fact, I think we should be even more self-interested than we are. Throw out the rhetoric, go balls to the wall Imperial, and scr3w what anybody else says about it [because, really, what *can* they say?]

Self-interest
If what america does is only self-interest, then say it, and stop screaming that America only wants freedom for everybody and to bring democracy to remote places.... Because i don;'t get it otherwise.
What would you say if Al-Quaeda sais "What we do is just self-interest, scr3w what anybody else says about it".
How far can they go on "self-interest"? Can they go as far as America?
Or is it that killing children with bombs wraped to your chest is worst than killing them with laser guided bombs? (quoting something on this forum)
I hope that you get your feets down to earth a little.
