[Nunsense] This just in...: hated that she was playing a "white Negro."OK, but didn't Will & Grace change all that? Well... of them act more like sisters than hornsters. Will Truman is neurotic, he's fussy. He's neutered. OK... on the supposed genetic "feeblemindedness" of Eastern and Southern Europeans, severely limited the immigration
[Liberal Patriots] Republiscum Determined to Shred Constitution: simplistic slogans might doom his presidential election efforts. But Thomas Jefferson said it well, as he..., a scientific poll of Europeans found us, Israel, North Korea and Iran as the greatest threats
[Iraqwarwrong.blogspot.com] The Iraq War Was Wrong Blog: July 2004: Last time I identified what I think is a good argument strategy: that the Iraq war has Distracted us from being where the true action in the war on terror is (not to mention a little thing named "Osama"), namely the desolate Afghanistan wilderness near the Pakistan border east north west south somewhat. (For example I still bristle at the thought of all the tanks we COULD have somewhere in the middle of the rocky Afghanistan hills which are just WASTED being in Iraq right now).
[Blog.bearstrong.net] Bjørn Stærk blog - Europe's balls of steel: When Americans come close to understanding the meaning of the real economic equation, Euros simply trot out the standard anti-American "hegemonic" arguments, making it seem as if it's America's fault they're buying European product. Europeans - especially European socialists - have been doing this for so long (five decades), that it's become an art form: in fact, there are a lot of Americans who buy their sort of argumentation, crappy as it is.
[Medienkritik.typepad.com] Davids Medienkritik: More American Inhumanity in Iraq: That having been said, if politicians *want* to encourage more people to volunteer for military service, they might do well to encourage the media to present the other side of the Iraqi story...mainly, the positive gains that have been made there, instead of trying to "Vietnamise" the war as they have been doing of late. Give people a reason to volunteer, and they might just surprise you and actually do it.
[Hnn.us] History News Network: Third, the U.S. decision to undertake military action in Iraq, which is considered a precipitous decision by many if not most Europeans, evokes for them an image of America as an immature, ungainly adolescent who doesn't know what to do with his energy, who turns over the chessboard when things don't go his way. And again, there's this invidious comparison with the Europeans, who are of course cool-headed, mature, have the wisdom of centuries of experience, and so forth.
[Johnquiggin.com] John Quiggin » Blog Archive » Iraq: A War of Liberation: Especially in the light of the historical amnesia highlighted by the commentary surrounding Ronald Reagan’s passing in June, I think there is a need to seriously study what actually happened in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in the late 1990s and early 1990s, why and how it happened, how it was able to happen in the way that it did, and what this can tell us about the problem of how to dissolve a totalitarian or extreme authoritarian regime in a way which is likely to lead to a significant improvement in democratic and human terms.
