I'd already submitted this, but it sure as hell seems to belong in this new section. So here it goes.
"If I were the president, I could stop terrorist attacks against the United States in a few days. Permanently. I would first apologize to all the widows and orphans, the tortured and impoverished, and all the many millions of other victims of American imperialism. Then I would announce, in all sincerity, to every corner of the world, that America's global interventions have come to an end, and inform Israel that is it no longer the 51st state of the USA but henceforth - oddly enough - a foreign country. I would then reduce the military budget by at least 90% and use the savings to pay reparations to the victims. There would be more than enough money. One year's military budget of $330 billion is equal to more than $18,000 an hour for every hour since Jesus Christ was born.
That's what I'd do on my first three days in the White House. On the fourth day, I'd be assassinated."
love the presentation of facts. I was origional drawn to it by the large "Fuck Iraq" that was readable in the thumb and wanted to see what the other message was. it proved to be an effective way to draw in people looking for a pro-war stance. not that I'm pro-war
Good way to show one side of the argument. Nevermind that Israel violates U.N. resolutions in retaliation against palestinian suicide bombers. Nevermind that deaths in Iraq that are blamed on sanctions are in in fact because of it's dictator. Nevermind that if the U.S. hadn't used nuclear weapons in WWII, the war would have lasted years longer resulting in countless more deaths. Good Job.
Interesting design gimmick. Will certainly get it noticed.
Of course I don't agree with the sentiment. But even in Egypt you have the right to your opinion and freedom of speech (good thing you don't live in Iraq though).
I just have some practical criticism.
Since nuclear weapons aren't being used in this war, what is the revelancy of the nuclear weapons statistics? Furthermore, how likely do you think it would be that Saddam Hussein would use nuclear weapons if he were allowed to build or buy them? America has an extensive system of checks and balances to prevent a dictatorship or military coup. Iraq has Saddam in command and anyone who dissents disappears.
The sanctions that were imposed on Iraq were a direct result of Saddam's actions. If he wanted the sanctions to be lifted to spare his own people, then he would have done what was necessary. Instead he continued to solidify his power and spent money on himself and his sons and his military programs.
Not signing a treaty does not mean the United States is against the rights of children. Assuming so would be just a logical error of the most basic kind.
I get an overall sense that you consider the United Nations as flawless and it's findings unbiased.
Bush has drawn up plans for a Palestinian state. All Clinton ever wanted to do was talk. Doesn't sound like the actions of a man who only sides with Israel.
great idea but I have to say im against it thoroughly
sure, the U.S. has made some mistakes - most of which I haven't lived long enough to see - but hasn't every country?
by 'fixing' the government of Iraq, who has oppressed its civilians, used biological weapons, and perhaps worked with terrorist groups, we free it's people and make the world a safer place
you have the right to your opinion, which I respect but disagree with - thats one of the great things about this nation... you have to realize that if an Iraqi civilian went against the plans of the government, Hussein would have them killed... here, people can freely debate about it
Im a professional rainbow collector so I thought I'd share some of my finds from my favourite folder = R A I N B O W S A must see for all colour loving beings
Attention Art! - Tasteful Nudity in Black and White
This is a huge collection of carefully selected pictures from the artistic nude galleries - I may stress the word ARTISTIC. All images are black & white shots from a lot of well known artists, as well as from fairly unknowns.
I posted on the forum asking people to show me their green deviations and I got a lot of very good green deviations. Please show your support for these artists by faving their art and faving this article.
`arcipello's artwork is instantly recognisable. His vibrant colours and sci-fi scenes are breathtaking at times, pulling you into a world where man and machine live in colourful harmony.
An inspiration to many, Daniel's dedication to his craft is evident throughout his gallery, with many of his beautiful prints hanging on walls across the globe. In recognition as being one of the most successful artists in our deviantART community, we're delighted to award this month's Deviousness Award to `arcipelloRead More

America ain't perfect. But who is?
