Having watched the presedential candidate debate on BBC World, I believe that should America still want Bush, and since the rest of the world urgently needs...
I agree with eveything you said with the exception of the democratic part. Bush was appointed by a conservative packed court which decided to over rule the...
As unsympathetic as I am to G.W. Bush in general, I would suggest that violence against Supreme Court judges is not the answer. One must bear in mind that the...
It just seems incredible to me that anyone would ever vote for Bush when you have the choice to vote for men like Kerry or Gore, no matter how flawed you think...
Like Dylan said - we don't have a democratically elected president. And luckily he doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks. A flash forward to John...
I'm not quite sure why the rest of the world needs Kerry. Is it because Democrats have been involded in most of the wars that America has been in or because...
1) The Supreme Court is not the final arbiter in presidential elections and the inserted themselves into the election process with a court challenge by Bush....
A similar scenario could be painted with Bush's 2nd term. The only difference is that the Iraqi's Shia and Sunni will be united against one target the U.S.....
... I believe violence only begets violence and I believe in non-violence, like boycotting American cultural exports. The Iraqi's would do far better to...
The irony of all of this is that I'll be better off (for the short term - maybe 5-10 years) if Kerry wins. I need the Democrats' social programs and we are...
Hi all. I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. I'm going to start by saying I'm not an interested political observer. I'm a selfish American consumer who...
I don't own a car, never have, never will, nor do I possess a driver's license. Can't figure out why you squat to the level of personal attacks, but I can swap...
You guys share this strange assumption that who the American president is will radically alter what happens in Iraq, as if it is really in America's power to...
I agree with Dylan- nicely written "future history", John. As to whether this possible future is more or less likely under a Kerry presidency (or whether a...
There is no Vietnam in Iraq. Iraq is in the middle of a Civil War and we are supporting the winners. The Kurds and Shiites make up 80% of the population. They...
Sorry, something went amiss. I meant to say: Dorian wrote: Unfortunately my wife drives a Ford, and we can hardly avoid your wheat and rice. What's wrong with...
A similar scenario could be painted with Bush's 2nd term. I think the point is that chaos and fragmentation within Iraq would have been the inevitable scenario...
I well know how reactionary courts can be when used to stifle human rights. The Bloody Assizes of King James I come to mind. He taught all us students of...
WOW! You put a lot of work into this. All of these statements looked like Matrix Game arguments. Clearly you're putting the worst spin on it but who knows....
Chris, A court room game could be fun, but you have to add some bones to it. I was involved in criminal case as the Vic and all I saw of the process was my 1...
... If you do something like a court room drama with surprise witnesses and the like we can probably figure it out. In a real trial there are no surprise...
... I'm thinking what the character descriptions would look like in a Matlock show. Andy Griffin up there making a mockery of the law... Other characters would...
I have been way to busy recently to participate, but I have been following the SCW game and the current discussions. My answer to your question Chris is this: ...
The best option maybe to try to steer ... Ataturk was an interesting fellow. A lot of religious Muslims REALLY don't like him. He was the one who ended the...
Speaking of Kemal Ataturk, for some weeks I have been researching for a new Matrix Game covering the Gallipoli campaign. The game would be a team game,...
Gallipoli? GREAT! One of my favorite movies and Ataturk was masterful in his parries and thrusts in this campaign. There is the internal conflict and intrigue...
