HA HA): How many of these countries extend blanket immunity to our actions ? If we rape a girl in Korea is that just fine with the Koreans ? If we rape a girl in Germany, is that just fine ? So why now in Iraq (which we, by WH statement are not there permanently) do we have to have this legal "get out of jail free card" which appears to be unprecedented ?

If this happens and five TP posters flag you, your comments will be deleted from the thread. If you are flagged and deleted from five threads, you will be banned from TP forever. And then, I wish that they would follow through. I can't believe how they allow people like napier and his ilk to post to threads simply with the intent of disrupting the thread. It happens every day and it is very irritating. But, I must commend the regulars for getting better at not getting sucked into their rants. I would like to see everyone here refuse to validate their existence by talking to them directly. If enough people did that, they would probably leave. I truly believe that most of them are here to get an ego boost and you give them the boost when you respond directly to them. It's sad how small they are to need to spam a blog to get their ego boosts. I really do wish that TP would add to their rules the following:

No, Chuck, you are a <em>total war</em> type. The type who sanctions war crimes, who sanctions<em> crimes against humanity</em>.
