He’s not very bright. Don’t think he notices how embarrassed he should be by his ignorance because he’s too ignorant to know.

It’s a magical moment – have to agree with you on CounterPunch!!

not sure what you point you are trying to make about the article. McKinney stated that war with Iraq was not the smartest thing, and that we needed to tread carefully, and not make hasty decision. The website counterpunch is a little far left for my taste. I am not really into crazy conspiracy theorys.

as for my hometown LA is a cyst on the ass of humanity in my opinion. Once you get outside of LA it is nice though.My wife and I went to San Juan Capristano for lunch and had a good time. We are thinking of taking my ten year old to the wild animal park in San Deigo next weekend. I am hoping for good weather.

Your arrogance is overwhelming. Frankly, I think you constantly make a fool of yourself and yet you keep coming back.

*** I just googled Cynthia Mc Kinney of Iraq and the CounterPunch article came right up.

Easter Sunday afternoon at the San Diego Zoo was sunny with a few scattered clouds and low 60’s temp, I guess. How is your Third World hometown????

*****I stand corrected Jay – Cynthia McKinney is a GREAT Congresswoman if you appreciate a Congress member who can’t be bothered to stop for a Capitol police officer, plays the race card more often than Harry Belafonte has crooned “Banana
Boat”, has never seen a “black problem” and not blamed it on JEWS. But with your overwhelming support, and others of your ilk – I can understand why Ms. MdKinney is re-elected.

you still haven’t answered any of the questions I have posed. I suppose that I should not expect you too however. I am curious how you enjoyed a “sunny day” at the San Diego Zoo when it was cloudy all weekend. I don’t really expect any answers. Your ego and elitist attitude will destroy you some day. My only hope is you don’t drag anyone else down with you.

The plan is to do MORE BRAGGING… that will make developing nations less hungry for consumerism & cultural jealousy?

how about knocking off our abuses of Nature & other peoples?

U.S. Partly to Blame for Attacks: PM
In TV interview, Chretien says perceived greed of the West an underlying cause
by Tim Harper

OTTAWA — The perceived greed of the Western world, including the United States, is one of the underlying causes of the horrific terrorist attacks of a year ago, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien says.

In an interview with CBC-TV, which aired last night, Chrétien said the unchecked greed of the West made it lose sight of the consequences of its actions 20 or 30 years into the future.
“I do think the Western world is getting too rich in relation to the poor world,” Chrétien said.
“We’re looked upon as being arrogant, self-satisfied, greedy and with no limits.
“The 11th of September is an occasion for me to realize it even more.”

The Canadian government, which strongly opposes the idea of a unilateral preemptive U.S. strike on Iraq, said Tuesday it was encouraged that Washington was taking its case against Saddam Hussein to the United Nations.

Power cannot be exercised to the point that it humiliates others, the Prime Minister said in the documentary, in which he also revealed he authorized a Korean passenger jet to be blown out of Canadian skies if it appeared bent on heading for Vancouver or Toronto the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001.
History is full of stories of power that was not curbed, Chrétien said.
“There is a moment when you have to stop, a moment when you are very powerful,” he said.
Chrétien, who will speak to the United Nations in New York on Monday, said he made the same point once before to an audience of Wall Street magnates in New York who were complaining to him about Canada maintaining relations with Cuba.
“I said: `When you’re powerful like you are, you guys, this is the time to be nice.’ That’s one of the problems. You cannot exercise your power to the point of humiliation for the others,” Chrétien said.
“The Western world, not only the Americans, but the Western world has to realize because they are human beings, too.
“There are long-term consequences if you don’t look hard at the reality in 10 or 20 or 30 years from now.”

Namaste,

“Silent Freedom is Freedom Silenced”

When you fail to acknowledge a breech of the cease fire agreementone can conclude:
a.) you didn’t know about the breech
b.) the breech was not important to you.
c.) you knew about the breech – but determined that a resumption of hostilities offended your sensibilities.
2 of the 3 might be construed as a defense of Saddam.

But for a true foreign policy “treat”, read the McKinney article. I have a feeling you might enjoy it.
