Deluded fuckchop Adrian Hamilton does a remarkable imbecile Uncle-Sam-is-Satan moral-equivalency whine which would do John Pilger proud.... Yes, we need a 'regime change' in this rogue state... Its government has no majority. It refuses arms monitoring. Its opponents are locked up without trial. A democratically elected government of a sovereign nation rejects "arms monitoring" and locks up holy terrorist warriors. Laws-a-mercy! Nonetheless George Bush has done something in the last week to set out the parameters to pre-emptive action. "We owe it," he put it in Maine last weekend, "to the future of civilisation not to allow the world's worst leaders to develop and deploy and therefore blackmail free countries with the world's worst weapons." And he went on to define such enemies of the people as regimes intent on building up weapons of mass destruction, oblivious of international law and UN resolutions, governments who imprisoned their opponents without trial and who could not claim democratic legitimacy at home. Well, "yay for Dubya" as far as I'm concerned. Significantly, nowhere in the series of speeches he made this week did Mr Bush actually name these rogue regimes. But it is pretty clear reading the descriptions whom he must have meant. Only for those of us with brains, Adrian. The government which is spending by far the most on weapons of mass destruction, and is now planning to raise its budget by an increase greater than the total defence spending of Europe, is, of course, based in Washington. A revelation, to be sure. Not only is it building an arsenal the like of which the world has never seen...... Um, yes we have. It was called the Soviet Union. The last great politically correct superpower. Somehow I doubt those guys were the subject of too many of Adrian's inane invectives. it has unilaterally withdrawn from the treaties designed to limit the spread of nuclear weapons These would be the same treaties that have been so effective at slowing the nuclear advances in India, Pakistan and China? But of course, we focus on those pesky americans. and has refused to accept any kind of international monitoring of its chemical or nuclear weapons facilities. For what purpose, dickface? It has a government in power without the legitimacy of a democratic majority.... It got a majority of the electoral college votes, dumbass. And these same illegitimate thugs now enjoy overwhelming public support, which would tend to render your already lame point completely irrelevant, no? ...in the hands of a coterie from a single part of the country and clearly aiming at a dynasty of rule... As conspiracy theories go, this is worthy of Raimondo. Say Adrian, how many elected members are there in the House of Lords by the way? Its rhetoric is one of violent aggression against anyone seen as its enemies. Impolite rhetoric. Is there no limit to this american horror? It opponents are locked up without trial or the right to habeas corpus. Those poor, innocent jihad boys were just whisked away from their afternoon tea parties..... True, it has a has a history of interfering with and invading its neighbours – Panama, Grenada, Haiti et al. But since the long and debilitating war in Vietnam, it has kept largely to its own region. You've just contradicted yourself, idiot. Of course it has a peculiarly obnoxious regime, ready to poison its own people with corrupt capitalism and deregulated pollution. Thank you Chairman Mao, for reminding us of the horrors of a free country where people are free to spend their own money and where they can vote for their own representatives and policies. You commie bozos lost the cold war. Get over it you limp-wristed weasel. But give it time, and pressure from the outside world, and it will pay up its UN dues, rejoin the nuclear proliferation pacts and the Kyoto treaty and start behaving as a responsible member of the community again. I love the retarded hypocrisy of the anti-USA left: the USA is supposed to follow nuclear treaties it's enemies are ignoring, follow the Kyoto treaty the worst polluting nations on earth are not subject to (and lets not get into the bullshit science of the greenhouse scare), and they're supposed to be "responsible" members of the happy UN community which happily tolerates the excesses of undemocratic, genocidal governments. Uncle Sam sez: "kiss my ass" It is no friend of democracy, having announced its refusal to deal with the only two elected leaders of the Islamic world – Khatami in Iran and Yasser Arafat in Palestine, the latter the only Arab leader ever elected with western observers checking the process. Well there is the small fact that Arafat still advocates the extermination of Israel. And sure they were "elected", just like Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe was "elected". Having authority over media channels and shooting your opponents might tend to render the democratic process somewhat unfair in my opinion. For a guy who's so obsessed with George Bush's non-legitimate status, you would think Adrian would have noticed this. The country has armed and succoured state terrorism and assassination by the Israelis. Fancy supporting the only democratic country in the entire middle east. The shame of it. They should be funding the mass-slaughter of jews by Hamas. It's the politically-correct thing to do you see. Those filthy, big-nose kike bastards just get in the way of all our enlightened social policies. It has installed the worst sort of warlord gangsters in Afghanistan The USA loses either way with commie degenerates like Adrian: if they occupy the country, they are imperialist invaders, yet if they do what they can to help the Afghans govern themselves, now they're guilty of neglect. The problem remains the practicalities. Whereas in Afghanistan the allies could rely on a local opposition force on the ground, no such scenario can be relied on in this case. The Spanish speaking minority in the south might be induced to rise up. There could be assistance from Minutemen in the mountains. But the democratic opposition is too defeated and divided to provide much help. The answer could be an "inside-out" strategy using special forces to take Washington and a few key nuclear bases. Provided the rest of the country was left to get on with its business, there would probably be little internal opposition to a seizure of the capital. Oooh, the big, scary army of european Taliban-loving whimp journos are gonna invade the USA. Assuming anyone even notices you're there, see how long it takes them to turn you into fertilizer. A period of occupation of five to 10 years could provide an opportunity to inculcate ideas of true democracy, with a fair electoral system based on absolute majority. Sorry pisshead, the dictatorship of the prolitariat has been tried already. All those countries are now loser, third-world toiletbowls who spend their time begging the americans for money. Given time, this rogue superstate might then be able to take its place once again among the family of peace-loving nations. Um, which ones would they be, then? The brave french, who surrender at the first sign of a uniform then repay everybody by blowing up greenpeace ships? The peace-loving Germans? The human-rights-loving Africans? The nice, democratic Chinese? Or is it all the other countries the americans either saved from the Nazis during WW2 or helped to rebuild afterward? As an Aussie patriot and atheist, I feel not the slightest irony at proudly stating the following: God bless America. Suck on that, losers :) permalink
