(I believe Texas can also remain and split itself up into four new
States if I am not mistaken.)

Re #48, Even if I accept that several thousand Iraqi soldiers were
killed within the norms and international treaties, you've just
answered to one of the many facts of US-Iraq issue. Maybe you didn't
read the others.
Regarding RUPE's report - You're questioning their conclusions which
is fine by me. Try explaining the facts they've put in the report. Or
try explaining the facts posted in the other links.
You can assume whatever you feel like, doesn't matter to me.
"Btw- fewer people died in that attack than material, though the media
decided to portray it as a bloodbath." - Would you support that with
facts please?
"I suppose if ....... that you do." - At best, its speculation.

How do you know he's not already doing that? Such efforts would
probably not be visible on Grex.

I don't see any reasons at all why a person from country A, which may have
a nest of problems of its own, shouldn't be free to criticize the problems
of country B without being taken to task for doing so. If the subject of
the discussion is the problems of country B, the discussion should stick
to the subject, and attempts to divert the discussion to irrelevances
concerning country A should be ignored.

Few of us can do anything to deal with anyone else's problems and it
isn't easy to deal with our own. How are you expecting anyone to deal with
their country's problems? But there is no harm in people opining and
suggesting solutions to anyone's problems and I don't think they have to
give equal time to everyone else's problems, or even those of their own
country. There is no hypocracy in this.

"so any amount of opining is just letting off steam" Is it really true that
you express no opinions about anything you are not actively trying to change?
And do you count expressing an opinion as an act of change?
Seems like a very narrow use of brain power.

So now it is just a problem with someone else's enthusiasm? Of course, you
never rail, do you?

Actually, I think it is sometimes easier to see problems in other
countries because it is easier to have an objective view of another
country. So, I think it is valuable for outsiders to point out what
those problems are. I find out a lot about the USA from reading the
foreign press. And while I *could* dismiss what they write because they
also have problems in their own countries, it seems more helpful if I
listen to them.

To clarify resp:42 and others - Texas would not be able to leave the Union,
only to form new states, not to exceed four in number, under the annexation
resolution.

As regards living in the country and picking up on local media
sentiment, I live in the US, and I see a definite increase in anti-US
sentiment thanks to the policies of the present govt. My two cents
worth.

"Officials here [in Baghdad] say that some basic infrastructure severely
damaged during or since the war - as well as utilities neglected under
the old regime - is expected to remain unrepaired. These include
utilities, leaving many Iraqis with worse standards of living than they
had under Saddam Hussein." --

Authorize and encourage the manufacture of nuclear powered cars. (Most of it
is old tech, from circa 1915 or so.) Fund research on hydrogen-boron fission
and neon-sodium cycle catalytic hydrogen fusion.

This isn't clever enough to be Robin Williams.
Not even close.
