The American administration is a bloodthirsty wild animal

A correction:

"We have awakened a sleeping giant and instilled in it a terrible resolve."

[hellinahandcart]

you have to use cruller methods - this ain't no tea party.

Couple gallons of tea, couple hundred of these puppies, and THEY'LL talk, all right...

[hellinahandcart]

How to liquidate enemies on foreign, but friendly soil?

I would suggest that a vacationing "libertarian" would be in a position to do the job effectively, and arouse relatively little suspicion.

[PianoMan]

Sounds good to me.

Radiation levels in Iraq are appallingly high. Babies are born with no brain, no eyes, no genitals. Where they do have ears, mouths or rectums, all that issues from these orifices is blood.

Sounds a lot less like "depleted uranium" and a lot more like "Saddam has plutonium in mobile laboratories and he's not too careful about it", doesn't it?

[PianoMan]

Many Americans, we know, are horrified by the posture of their government, but seem to be helpless.

Wrong, Harold Pinter.

In my experience this portrayal of America is so prevalent in the European press that on the three times I've been to Europe this year, to three different areas, people are shocked when I tell them that Bush and his war policies are quite popular. Journalistic irresponsibility in the name of an agenda.

Then he's old enough to remember this:

Pinter's plays are noted for their use of silence I wish he kept this tradition when writing the article: silence would've been more intelligent that any of the paragraphs above.

Unfortunately, his attitude is that of many Brits, including my daughter, dang it! Her only access to news is this kind of daily tripe put out by the commie/socialist media in England. If that's all they are getting, that's what they believe. Tony Blair is catching these barbs and more and we should be glad he is on our side (for now, anyway)

. . . on the three times I've been to Europe this year, to three different areas, people are shocked when I tell them that Bush and his war policies are quite popular.

Amazing the Europeans are so young (overall) thay don't remember what the US did during WWII. They'll get an education - soon.

Yea we know... They grow up into adults with no brains and no balls, just like this writer.

[PianoMan]

ROFL...and the orifices spew bile not blood.

Harold Pinter: "The atrocity in New York was predictable inevitable. It was an act of retaliation against constant and systematic manifestions of state terrorism on the part of America over many years, in all parts of the world."

Pinter's viewpoint is typical in the elitist marxist 'academia' both here and abroad...

Having read his so-called "work" as part of the requisite reading in school, my impression of the author led me to believe back then that he was in dire need of a fleet of Swiss psychiatrists. These days, if I were Pinter, I'd lock myself up in a rubber room -- for our's and his protection. He deserves a bloody beating...

[LdSentinal]

And I thank him every day for being on our side and so strong. However, the British media has not taken his stance so well and are now going after his wife with a vengeance.

[Stefan Stackhouse]

America believes that the 3,000 deaths in New York are the only deaths that count, the only deaths that matter. They are American deaths.

Actually, many hundreds of the deaths were of foreign nationals working in the WTC, including a great many British, of all people.

Strangely, lots of people from other countries somehow want to live and work here, in spite of America being such a terrible place.

Mental disturbance comes through loud and clear.
