		<description>Churchill compared the American people to the &quot;good Germans&quot; of Nazi Germany, claiming that the vast majority of Americans had ignored the civilian suffering caused by the sanctions on Iraq during the 1990s, which he characterized as a policy of genocide.

The essay was later expanded into a book, On the Justice of Roosting Chickens, which won Honorable Mention for the Gustavus Myers Human Rights Award in 2004.

 
I watched the video on YouTube of Rod Parsley and am disgusted. Parsley&#039;s diatribe is so far from any smidgen of truth and much more insulting and yet McCain gets a free pass to seek his endorsement and nobody pays attention, least of all the MSM. To be fair, the NY Times has run some editorials on the subject of Hagee, Falwell and McCain, but that&#039;s all they are - editorials. Am I surprised? No. But I am constantly disappointed and disgusted by our so-called &quot;free press&quot;.Check out the Parsley film at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXZbIGJrDkg&amp;eurl=http://bravenewfilms

		<description>My thoery on why this wasn&#039;t picked up and the news cycle? On Friday 16th of January 2009 Airbus crashes in New York river. That story happened the same day as the wiki-links info was posted.  Then there was the weekend orgy of joy and heroism in the media. Three days later the DJIA dropped ~300 points. It basically got buried in the news cycle is my theory.

Also he didn&#039;t really have a dirty bomb. He had a bomb and some stuff to make a radium watch (or it&#039;s inoffensive equivalent) and lastly he was dead so the story was basically over.

The mudane answers most questions.  That or Money.</description>

		<description>@ Chris
No, the primary purpose of government is to govern. And my Government&#039;s purpose is not to &quot;..protect and defend the Constitution of the United States&quot;, because I live somewhere else.

Be very careful how you say things when you start telling other people that their sentences are flawed :o)</description>

		<description>If you&#039;re worried about radioactivity, then you should be looking at cigarettes. No, I&#039;m serious about this. Try Googling &quot;radioactive cigarettes&quot; (don&#039;t use quotes!). You&#039;ll be very surprised.

You should look at this because a) almost no one knows about it, although that&#039;s gradually changing, and b) it kills 440,000 people a year. 

People like Surgeon-General Everett C. Koop are quoted about this, saying (and I quote) &quot;Tobacco radiation is responsible for 90% of lung cancer.&quot; Center for Disease Control says &quot;&quot;Americans are exposed to far more radiation from tobacco smoke than from any other source.&quot; You probably know about all the fuss about radon; well, this is partly a radon problem.

Tobacco companies switched to a fertilizer called &quot;apatite&quot; around 1930 that was high in phosphates. This made for a much &#039;tastier&#039; cigarette. Unfortunately, it was also high in naturally occurring radioactives. Tobacco plants just love to concentrate this stuff in their leaves, and using phosphate fertilizer year after year builds up the concentration in the soil. These are alpha emitters generally -- pretty safe as long as you don&#039;t ingest them or take them in through a cut in your skin.

So we end up with &quot;radon&quot; and &quot;radon daughters&quot;, all radioactives, which then decay down to &quot;polonium-210&quot;, which was what that Russian journalist (Alexander Litvinenko) had put into his drink which fried him from radiation from the inside out, and finally to lead-210. 

Do I need to point out that lead is bad for you? We banned lead from paint a long time ago, and more recently, from gasoline, because of this.

If Osama had half a brain, he&#039;d go straight, and open up a tobacco business to whack Americans. But he&#039;s not very bright, when you get right down to it.

Thanks,

Dave</description>

		<description>Matt from CT, your 2nd sentence is flawed.

&quot;One of the primary purposes of government is to protect us from the actions of others.&quot;

No, the primary purpose of government is not to protect its citizenry from the actions of others.  Its purpose is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.  Nothing is said about protecting its citizens.  Don&#039;t forget that.</description>

		<description>When the federal building was blown up in Oklahoma City I remember Tom Brokaw making it very clear that it was the work of Islamic terrorists and the fact that occured on the anniversary of the FBI raid in Waco Texas was just a coincidence.Of course this is the same guy who got sued by Richard Jewel over the Olympic Park bombing carried out by Eric Rudolph.It&#039;s like the MSM don&#039;t want to acknowledge we have homegrown hate groups who commit acts of terrorism.</description>
