The war on terror is real.
The movie Star Wars is fiction.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Do these idiots completely disregard the USS Cole, the embassy bombings, the first WTC bombing and innumerable other terrorist acts all took place prior to W. It is kind of sick that they really believe that all was right in the world before five years ago.
Long live the Sith.
Palpatine has way more brains & charisma than Byrd.
No, but I have.
The U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba is full of mistaken identities and people who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time -- including, according to The Associated Press, a chicken farmer and an invalid.
Chicken farmers can't be terrorists? I must have missed the memo.
Invalids can't be terrorists? The leader of the group that blew up the World Trade Center the first time is a blind man.
Well one solution is to... "dissolve the council, put power in the hands of the regional governors, and let fear keep the local systems in line."
And yes it is just a movie.
Tell that to Jon Alvarez, who actually spearheaded a boycott of this film based on what you have just read.
It's a shame we have people on our side who cannot tell the difference between fantasy/fiction and reality.
Agreed.
Yeah, the jedi got what they deserved. Except the, ahem, younglings. You gotta be one evil fiend to go around slaugherting younglings.
It's not that tough to figure out, Paulie. Iraq was the easiest to defeat and gives us a foothold for the real targets, Syria and Iran.
That the liberation of Iraq and Afghanistan (50 MILLION PEOPLE WHO WERE SLAVES ARE NOW FREE!!) has already yielded gains for freedom in the region (small steps but real nonetheless) is icing on the cake.
We now have Afghanistan and Iraq from which to work, and popular democratic movements in many middle eastern countries. From a strategic standpoint we're way way ahead of where we were.
If the likes of Paul Craig Roberts refuse to acknowledge this, that's their problem. Anyone with eyes and a brain can see what's happening.
Considering that all the member entities have the own form of government this is a more accurate comparison. Naboo for instance is an elective monarchy a la the polish system (but with term limits?), and we can only assume Alderaan is also a monarchy, or at least an aristocratic oligarchy, since Leia could not have inherited the title princess from her biological mother.
I think he looks like Elaine's kooky boss on Sienfeld, Mr. Pitt
.....But....but......George Lucas is one of the foremost Political thinkers in the world today, didn'tchaknow,
This guy's a lunatic who actually believes what he reads in the left-wing press. The crowd who thinks we were better off with Saddam, the Tali-ban, a bold Qaddafi, and daily bombings in Israel deserve to live for a while under a true reign of terror. People like Roberts have a right to commit suicide, but not to drag us off the cliff with them.
Lazz you are crazy! LOL
stupid attempt at relating a fantasy to current events ping
Hehe. Bush to the terrorists: "WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' IN MY SWAMP??"
