A Plea to American Conservatives
I write to you as a friend from the United Kingdom concerned that you may re-elect George W. Bush as President of your great country. I am not a condescending Guardian reader and I am exceedingly pro-American. It is for this reason that I ask you not to vote for Bush.
Terrorism cannot be defeated by dropping bombs from B-52's or by invading sovereign nations that posed no threat to the security of the Western world. Bush started a war that violated the notion of sovereignty so important to the Conservative movement for a spurious reason. Over 1000 American lives and $200bn have been wasted on a pointless, neo-colonial war. The war has only succeeded in causing the United States to be more hated across the Middle East than it already is. Bush has supported Sharon unfailingly which has also fed the roots of terrorism.
A Conservative should not support a President whon follows an aggressively interventionist and internationalist foreign policy whilst increasing drastically the size of government at home.
Bush is not an honourable man. He has had decades of links to the corrupt regime of Saudi Arabia and has a history of substance abuse. He is also not an 'ordinary American.' He is part of the privileged East-Coast elite whilst masquerading as a Texan.
Kerry may be no more attractive than Bush as a President but no man should hold the great office of the United States whilst under his watch the nation comes under great attack and then in response the President launches an ineffective, aggressive war at the cost of $200bn which has made the nation even more insecure.

Saddam Hussein had absolutely no legitimacy as the head of government in Iraq. All he was was a tyrant who killed off his opposition. Therefore, I could give 2 craps about his supposed sovereignty. It was completely legitimate to take out an unelected tyrant.
Allow me to point out to you , you bloody moron, 9-11 didn't happen because they liked us. 9-11 happened by following the policies that you boneheads keep wishing us to return to.
May you be covered...
IN MOLASSES!
1919 2 million gallons of molasses "Tidal wave" Boston MA, drowning 21 I had to find out more on this one!
Forty minutes past noon on 15 January 1919, a giant wave of molasses raced through Boston. The unseasonably warm temperature (46 degrees) was the final stress needed to cause a gigantic, filled-to-capacity tank to burst. 2,320,000 gallons (14,000 tons) of molasses swept through the streets, causing death and destruction.
Eyewitness reports tell of a "30-foot wall of goo" that smashed buildings and tossed horses, wagons and pool tables about as if they were nothing. Twenty-one people were killed by the brown tidal wave, and 150 more were injured. The chaos and destruction were amplified -- and rescue efforts were hampered -- by the stickiness of the molasses. Those persons attempting to aid others all too often found themselves mired fast in the goo.
The day after the disaster, The New York Times reported:
A dull, muffled roar gave but an instant's warning before the top of the tank was blown into the air. The circular wall broke into two great segments of sheet iron which were pulled in opposite directions. Two million gallons of molasses rushed over the streets and converted into a sticky mass the wreckage of several small buildings which had been smashed by the force of the explosion. The greatest mortality apparently occurred in one of the city buildings where a score of municipal employees were eating their lunch. The building was demolished and the wreckage was hurled fifty yards. The other city building, which had an office on the ground floor and a tenement above, was similarly torn from its foundations.
One of the sections of the tank wall fell on the firehouse which was nearby. The building was crushed and three firemen were buried in the ruins.
Boston is not a city that forgets anything easily. There are those who claim that on a hot summer day in the North End, you can still smell the molasses.
Is that Charlie Booker?
Don't you have to go and practice goose-stepping, heil'ing heatlumps, and brushing up on your conversational German?
No?

You can thank us by shutting your yap and opposing terrorism rather than excusing it and assisting it.
TACKLE and PIN!
Go shag yourself.
Thanks! I'll be here in a few. I've almost got the head off another troll and I'll be there.
You're wrong. Next.
Will someone please fetch the tar and feathers? Thanks.
