<ajofi> darthburg: They referred to them as a problem. They never said Iraq had WMD.
<bmc> just bechtel
<Disbelief> pilgrim - nuke boston!
<bmc> Bechtel Corporation
<DarthBurg> ajofi, had it worked, Democrats would have made a showing in 04. they never
<jhicks> pilgrim`: I would be in favor of getting rid of the Lincoln Memorial!
<jhicks> hehehe
<TimothyW> bmc : yes I know what Bechtel Corporation is.
<Mr_Wizard> Peter Fitzgerald for Pres in 2008
<DarthBurg> oh I am sorry
<Lupine> ajofi: eh? the US had forces in Vietnam since ~1956
<pilgrim`> ajofi at the time of PEarl Harbor a majority of Americasn still believed we could deal witht he wrodl without war
<bmc> 5275 Westview Drive Frederick, Maryland 21703-8306
<bmc> off rt 85 i think
<jhicks> That's because The Great War was supposed to be the last one
<DarthBurg> i keep pointing out facts, logic, and reality, my bad. go back to your fantasy world were Saddam was just misunderstood. continue to ignore the great strides taken in the last six years, no thanks to you.
<bmc> thought i had seen one somwhere
<pilgrim`> Great War was WWI
<pilgrim`> not 2
<Null_Ptr> here's the war plan for the US attack on iran http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO505A.html
<Tim-brb> Darth: you still addressing the delusional twosome? :)
<jhicks> pilgrim`: yeah
<ajofi> darthburg: There is a time lag between opinion and affecting an election. We'll see in 2006 but right now a majority clearly say the war was a mistake.
<jhicks> It was touted to be "the last war"
<jhicks> Until the next one
<Mr_Wizard> Did people actually think that WW1 would be the last war?
<jhicks> yes
<hans_kung> yes
<Null_Ptr> yes
<Disbelief> DarthBurg - where are the Weapons of M*** Destruction? where's evidence of an ongoing nuclear program? where are the caches of illegal weapons? where are the alleged delivery systems ?
<Mr_Wizard> morons
<jhicks> yup
<pilgrim`> no, it was becasue there was a strong pacifist movement and also becasue US industry was making buckets of loot supplying both sides
<Mr_Wizard> even if we got attacked by aliens, it would not be the last war.
<jhicks> WWI was all about fighting over colonies
<Disbelief> ww2 to some extant as well.
<DeDannan> it was?
<pilgrim`> WWI was inevetable before the treaties of 1870 were ink dry
<DeDannan> hmmm
<Disbelief> ww1 was BETWEEN colonial powers
<jhicks> yep
<Disbelief> not necessarily "over" the colonies
<pilgrim`> the period from 1870-1914 is called the Long Peace
<jhicks> well, that was the loot to be gained
<Disbelief> but in ww2, germany and japan did desire to carve the british empire
<Timur> Dis: did you read the article? guess not
<DeDannan> Austria had not a single colony...nor did Russia...
<hans_kung> DeDannan, you think the Hapsburgs would be ruling today if there wasn't a WW1 or Hilter?
<Disbelief> Timur - which? could you post again ?
<pilgrim`> DeDannan oh hush. reality has no place here
<Billy^> never mind, out of WWI at least came the Russian revolution
<hans_kung> or would Austria still have fallen apart.
