[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] I agree, Balaam. This reminds me of quoted exchanges between politicians in the 1800's, fists slamming on tables and papers thrown everywhere. Too bad the people who most need to hear this are too insulated to ever get near it. Jason: [QUOTE]Er...that was all already abundantly there- we just brought our own and upset the status quo of it.[/QUOTE]Right, like Abu Ghraib and Willy Pete. If they need to sort out their mess, it has to come from inside. Haven't you read Robert Pape's report? [QUOTE]the notion that invading Iraq was "an act of terrorism" is stupid in the extreme.[/QUOTE]Ok, let's go through the moves here. The invasion was unprovoked. They made things up as they went, counting on the world's hatred for Saddam to do the most of the work, and they were right. Then they wrap the whole operation in nice words and memos. So it's not terrorism because it is carried out in such an orderly fashion? Tis is one of Pinter's main points, the labels the politicians use to condone their work. Terrorism is what they do, we do peacekeeping and enforcing. I thought his other play with labels was good, in the last segment, his proposed Bush speech to the nation; their decapitation versus electricity and injections. [/QB][/QUOTE]
