74. thank you for doing this the hard way
Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 05:25 PM by Aidoneus
could you explain the principle at work with them that you object to, and why it does not apply as well to what you are in favour of?

As a somewhat minor quibble, that is not exactly what I said.

The "non-us" being the "terrorists" is a new tired and pathetic formula of hypocrites and charlatans everywhere, and I was assuming that was what you were working off of in dealing out the classification.

For a particularly striking example of a contradiction, Israel has killed more people with the hundreds of thousands of landmines they left lying around in Lebanon than Hamas has in its entire existance, and this just a single and comparatively minor point within a greater context, but there doesn't seem to be too much concern with things like this on your end and among peers--it's the "non-us" that are the evil subhumans, and uniformly so no matter what contradictions such an unwavering platform is hit with.
