  • Live from the New Europe: Reporting from Lithuania

    The most absurd blame game that nationalist governments
    of post communist East Europe keep playing still is the
    one to encourage hate against russians to
    escape their own responsibilities for failures in economic reforms and extreme corruption. First of all,communist
    is a political movement ,it is not a nationality.
    Russians were themselves the victims of communism,and
    communist party no longer rules Russia and it's neighbors.
    It is idiotic to come up to a regular russian who never
    had any affiliation with communist party or it's policy
    and bitch about crimes of communism
    that his people are responsible for. So,they hate russians
    forever,then? There is no limit to hypocrisy in the Baltics,
    with almost half of their economy being tied to CIS.
    They love to get russian oil,yet spew hate to russians behind their backs. What is the democracy,when most of
    ethnic slavs like russians and belorussians have no rights and no citizenship in 3 baltic states? who is practicing an Apartheid? russians? I think not..

    There is an overwhelming pressure against them from the american media,and that's also affecting the public opinion in a rather negative way. These women have no
    political influence, and should not be attacked on such a scale for merely expressing their anti-war opinions which
    are also shared by no small number of americans.
    Their message appears as their free right to a free speech,and they could just view the organised negative response of media as an attack on their civil rights.
  • SARS, AIDS and China's Cover-Up

    China Commies could always ship all their SARS infected
    to all those diversity loving countries of North America
    and W.Europe. Just looking at growing numbers of
    SAR-deceased in Canada makes one think that just such a solution might have crossed the mind of CP heads who run our much beloved trade partner country of PRC.

    what is this "picking on girls" about?
    It is obvious that these cuddly pretty girls from a top-40
    country-pop-variety are no particular threat to national security. Their "abuse" of free speach was insignificant,
    but when free speach can be "abused" it implies that
    you're in "1984".
  • N Korea announces it has 100 missiles pointed at USA

    Commies in North Korea just resent being discriminated against.Their counterparts in China are counting pessos in
    billions from making everything for us that our own
    unemployed workers should be doing at home to make
    their living. Commies...you must pay them, so they go away.
    It is senseless to aggravate an isolated communist country that actually has real WMD and threatens to use them.
    Like they say over there:"if a dog growls at you,you give him a bone." There is nothing worst than having an adversary that has nothing to lose.
    Our government will survive in their bunkers, with the roches.What about us? ..Do we hide in a car when it hits?
  • Mosaad Helped Rescue Jessica Lynch!

    Is it still a "rescue" when you rescue a patient from
    doctors and nurses, by trashing their hospital?
    According to Toronto Star,american soldiers even managed
    to handcuff a paralized man in that hospital.
    Jessica had a broken arm and leg,and needed stitches
    on her head.Iraqi medics really did a great job stabilizing her and treating her injuries, under circumstances.

    I wonder how France is to be punished for not joining in
    "fun for all shock & awe" (or sending to ALLAH of thousands
    of luckless arabs for being allegedly guilty of ownership
    of mysterious WMD..Saddam and sons must have smoked 'em WMD like a crack..)?
    Will they prevent Girard Depardeu from making more Disney
    movies,and ban one's already made like"my father the hero"?
    Will street miming become outlawed?
  • Baghdad Zoo in Tatters After Looting

    I hope americans didn't press the animals too hard about Uday Hussein's whereabouts. You have to respect superior
    values of zoo animals compared to those of their 2-legged
    countrymen, who were scurrying all over the city, amazingly ant-like, with looted goods of much larger size than they were themselves.
