They used their votes to bring down Mr. Carter (he received Nobel Peace price recently) many years ago. Now, they can do it again to bring down this cow boy. I saw a documentary by Phoenix TV from China. It is a documentary film on Iraq. The American or to be fair, the US Military used poor uranium bombs on Iraqi soils. The Iraqi soils and water are contaminated with radiation. After the war, one million children died of cancer in 5 years time. All the bombs totally used were 6 times the atomic bombs in Nagasaki during 2nd world war. Is it fair that the US can use any kind of nuclear weapons on its so called enemies and the enemies are not allowed to? What use we have UN and no nude treaties? Bullshit! Big countries like US, Australia and their allies are becoming the barbarians of 21st century. They claim their rights to launch military campaign on foreign soils to attack "suspected" terrorist establishment. They cowardly bomb targets from UAV using missiles from high above the sky. This is war. This challenges the sovereignty of the attacked contries. Can you do this to the people of that country and provide them technology after the war? What use? If I lost my children and home, I would rather have blood to pay for blood. This is never ending story and terrorism will go on and on forever. I hope this is not going to happen on me. But no one can guarantee my hope will not be shattered one day. Who is going to be responsible if they turn me into a terrorist? If I have children at home, do you think I want to have explosive tied to my body and turn myself into suicide bomber? Think! I will if this happens on me. I defended myself against six gang members at my door front one night many years ago empty handedly. And I will do it again at any cost if my family and I are in danger. This is human nature and so called the male responsibilities. Will you? Think! If you still have conscience and you (c.l.a.) claim you are a group of intelligent software engineers, exercise your vote now to bring down the cow boy! Or, the existence of Ada programming language is very wrong in the first place because many so called reliable and precision weapons are programmed in Ada. Or should Ada programming language be responsible for the chaos? Or may be the invention of microprocessor? Or the technology? If technology wouldn't exist today, war is merely a face to face fighting. -- type Dmitry is new Adrian; -- Adrian Hoe -- http://adrianhoe.com -- Remove *nospam* to email
