Yes, you are right, I failed to see the irony here. But anyway, your
fine President will be responsible for the deaths of American soldiers and
for invading a country. So, the reasons for accusation remain just the same,
no matter if I failed to detect ironic statements or not.
I do not have to hide my agenda. As a friend of the American people I have
to turn against the current American administration which is a danger for
world peace and democracy.As I said several times before: I also want Saddam
to be removed but not on the cost of a mountain of civilian Iraqui corpses,
which will be a war crime. And that's why Bush actually deserves to be
sentenced to
livelong prison. I am not so naive to believe that this will ever happen. He
and the dead American soldiers will be celebrated as heros. Same old story,
same old lies, same old shit. It's disgusting.
I never would have thought that I would ever have to defend a pacifist
attitude here on the list when I started reading extropian mails in 1996. I
am amazed how many rednecks are assembled here. But at least they
convinced me that I am no pure pacifist at all, but a militant one if
circumstances require this.
When will the likes of you ever start to see, that the Bush-Aznar-Blair-
deathist-junta is isolated in the world. Even Bush's own church has
turned against it's most famous member.Maybe you should start
reading European news sources on the internet.
But please...do NOT confuse my personal political position with the position
of the German Government. They are executing the same dirty weapon business
as every country in the world. I do not love my Government, but I do support
their stance against the Iraq war which is a disarmament founded on peaceful
methods and more patience.
