Alright, so let's give them the time to actually make a good search. That won't happen until other issues are resolved. You really don't seem to believe in your own revisionist theory then, leaving tons of "hidden" wmd on the desert for grabs.

But if he had them why did not he use them? The burden of proof lies on the TBA administration, not the other way.

Apparently you have not been here..

This is true. We went into a country and deposed a terrible government. Instability breeds those looking for advantage. Especially among radical groups engaged in a demented form of jihad. Are you trying to say that the war is still going on in Afganistan as well? Bosnia? Kosovo? People still died there after major combat operations ceased. How many people got killed after the operation was declared successful in Kosovo? Were there M1 Abramses on the streets of Belgrade? Were american soldiers ambushed daily? Were there beheadings of both civilians and coalition members shown weekly?

No Eizei, he was merely declaring the major combat operations over with the victories acheived .. yet more people have died after the "major combat operations" ended. And I dont think that would even make my analogy look bad, the kidney is gone, just like Saddam.

True, Saddam Hussein was removed from power. That portion has been accomplished.... I think that would equal to surgeon removing your 2nd kidney yet not closing your wound and declaring the operation a success while desperately trying to stop the bleeding.

Err?

So, how much are they paying you? But seriously, at least the versions I tried were quite buggy.

Too bad Soroses tactics did not work on a certain other regime..

Happy surinamean indepedence day.

You know, there is a reason why popular science calls political science advisor one of the worst science jobs possible.

This was already in the european politics thread?

Ecstacica or something like that.

True, now I find myself bit uncomfortable in old FPS games now that I cant tip over every thing I see. Feels like a movie set.

1nsane and 18 wheels of steel. EDIT: Ooh, and some early edition of where is carmen sandiego?

How about grey shift where you get to beat innocent bystanders with electric batons and tell them to pick up soda cans?

.. and yet this stuff only happens in the US which seems to have the most relaxed attitude towards corporations. The problem lies with your culture and not with legislation.

To be frank, I dont know what to think of the privatization, would investing be mandatory or could the payer choose? Would people preferring ordinary social security get screwed if the stock market goes down the toilet? I think allowing unregulated medicine on the market will kill more people than save them. Corporations are not working for the common good and cannot be trusted to regulate themselves, especially if we are talking about products essential for human welfare.

What arguments do I hear all the time against privatizing the social security system? "It's too risky! There is no security in private investments!" What arguments do I hear all the time against de-regulating various over-regulated industries? "It's too risky! X or Y could happen!" What arguments would I hear if I suggested we allow drugs to be sold that aren't FDA approved (but specificially label them as such)? "It's too risky! People might die from the drugs!" You know, corporations are not people and therefore do not deserve the same rights for obvious reasons.

Mmh, when I pay taxes I dont do it to get economic security, I am doing it to guarantee everybody a right to have an education they are capable of getting, not capable of paying or somebody to have a right to a decent healthcare even if one is unemployed. Sacrifing economic freedom for some kind of security might be a correct analogy when tax money is being used on military, police or a vast prison system, which right wing does not seem to mind for some reason.

The link redirects to microsoft.com? wth?

Zorro. And spongebobs pic is trailer park tycoon, right?

Any religious abiding Muslim (no matter what their interpretation of this or that Quranic text) will tell you that such people, who you qualify as moderates, are not practicing Muslims. I think most american christian fundamentalists would call typical finnish liberal protestant same.

Go for the PC version, it should run more than fine nowadays and the plot line in that one was not THAT unbelievable compared to other MGS games. And no, I havent played sons of liberty or substance. Only solid, metal gear 2 and metal gear solid for gameboy which had a different plot than the PS1/PC version.
