"the psychological impact" you are describing is provided in killing civilians. Only the mass murder of civilians and innocents can have the requested "psychological impact". The net effect was to shorten the war and save lives. it was done with a view that it would save more lives than it take in the end. Have you any proofs that it has worked ? :-( We won. Those who were our enemies are now our allies. It is with such reasonings that Staline has murdered a large part of the Ukraine population, half with weapons, half with famine. I don't beleive historians share your view. |

I can't speak for Art but as for myself I defend those actions which I think are going to be of benefit to the U.S. and the world at large. McKelvy, I guess that you know the proverb "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" Be sure that the "World at large" would appreciate that you limit your wishes to your immediate microcosm. :-) |

You are living in a dangerous Disneyland McKelvy. It is with such reasonings that Staline has murdered a large part of the Ukraine population, half with weapons, half with famine. I don't beleive historians share your view. I don't believe that you know anything about this period of Russian history. You should study it. |

The guys in Muslims country are sayingthat terrorist actions are the only way to stop Occidental economical imperialism. Objectively do you see any differences between your above statement and their discourse ? And if I said that the only way to keep you from spewing this hate filled nonsense would be to dip you in a vat of boiling oil, would that justify actually doing it? Since you don't have the courage to get out of your bunker, I would not worry... LOL, In France the street are full of dangerous Muslims ;-) An extremist Jewish like you would never reach my home. Lionel ducks another question regarding moral equivalency. I have already told you, there's no difference for me between Muslims and Jewish extremists like you. You still duck the question. BTW, Define the difference between just a general extremist, and a "Jewish extremist". How is my "extremeism" different from Mikey's or Scott's, for example? In the result there are no difference. - Mickey is the caricature idiot nostalgic veteran, the American Rambo. (Perhaps) less muscles but not more grey matter - You are obviously a repressed homosexual. Two words can caracterize you : frustration and envy. It is frustrating to deal with you since you constantly seem to either miss the point or try your very best to be as obtuse and irritating as possible. You are envious of the friendship, envious of the intelligence, envious of the culture... Even if that were true, which I see no evidence of, you seem to lack both of the tings you claim Art is envious of. Your extremism is an hostile reaction to the others' happiness. Why is it extreme to think that bad guys should be punished? You are reproaching to others the pain and frustration that *you* are inflicting to yourself. Pain and frustration are whay you seem to be trying for. Under the protection of an "authority" you would be easily the saddist torturer of the Abu Ghraib jail... In one word you are disgusting. :-( And you wouldn't? If iyou were in the place of those guards, I'm so sure that you wouldn't be worse. - I am not sure that Scott is an extremist, he is just a little bit too much xenophobe. Not liking you is not xenophobia, it's good taste. |

You should give a look to a good dictionnary. :-) I note that you are digging in the archives... Do you need to communicate ? |
