My view of human rights would include the rights of Iraqis not to be invaded based on erroneous evidence of weapons of mass destruction.

How would Americans feel if another country, upset with President Bush, decided to invade the U.S. (if that were possible), overthrow its government, and replace it with one more to that other country's liking? The U.S., like other imperial powers throughout history, rules by the "might equals right" principle.


Well, you have access to the same facts that I do. Being that's the case there's probably nothing I can say that'll really be worth my effort.

I'm of the opinion that the US's human rights record compares favorably with that of Sudan (see Darfur, for instance), or any of the others I mentioned. Not perfect, but certainly not the totalitarian nightmare the snot-nosed rock-throwers make it out to be.

My judgment is a subjective one.

Thank you for admitting as much.

Afraid I agree withtechstepgenr8tion : Reasoning with you would be a waste of perfectly good ASCII text.
