Links please? I'm not on the board every single day, not even every week. And even then I don't read every post. But of all that I've read of yours, I haven't seen one example. OTOH I've seen you repeatedly dismiss SignyM's concerns for the effects of US policy on innocent people. Just like you did in this thread. So, by my reading, it's what you are.
SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

Quote:GEEZER- So let's see... In Libya under Qaddafi, you had plenty of food, free education open equally to both men AND women, reliable utilities, a generous housing allowance for newlyweds, and a secular government. Well, you might have to be careful of the guy on the top, and what you said about him.
Should have left it to Gaddafi then? Think if he had put down the revolution things would have been much better? Might have been prosperous and secular, but not too comfortable for anyone speaking outside the party line.
That's one thing that I've always found funny about you. You support and defend regimes that would have you in jail - or worse - in a minute if you ranted against them like you do the U.S. and the Western Democracies.
NOW, under US-sponsored "freedom", you're legally enslaved (if you're a woman), education is no longer available to ANYONE, you not only have to worry about what you say about the militia that controls your little patch of ground... but of the next two or three militias who might take its place, food is hard to come by, housing is hard to find and utilities are unreliable at best, AND you get a daily dose of shooting and shelling!
So, overall, if you're a Libyan, who was best for you: Qaddafi or the USA?

Quote:G, which is better- posting your outrage on fff.net, or posting your complacency?
You are so consistently wrong it's amazing. I'm not dismissing Signym's concerns, just her shrill preaching. Acting high and mighty on a forum with about 20 people seems a bit over the top to me. Do you think it helps the worlds victims to post your outrage on FFF.net?
Most of the interesting people have left the board- Gino, Succatash, Kwicko, Ghoulman, etc. The only ones remaining, for the most part, are rightwingers and liberals.
Where I got into trouble with the liberals here on the board is when I got off the Democrat versus Republican track. Because all would be well, according to liberals, if only Democrats were fully in charge.
"G", formerly known as PIZOMBEACH and DAVE, I know that you contributed to NIKI's trip to the Gulf states to clean up BP's mess. I do that too... contribute to direct action causes, recycle etc. What you fail to realize is that all of those rearguard actions are pretty pointless.

JONGGSSTRAW, always ready with a pointless picture!
But thanks for the bump! (See? Your picture wasn't so pointless after all!)

It seems to me Sig we took a back seat in deposing Qaddafi. What we did to the Shu grin of the Republicans was support Europe in their deposing Qaddafi i.e. France. Which showed how much Europe gets a free ride in protecting the world from future acts of aggression. They ran out of bullets. Can you imagine, they ran out of bullets.
I find it incredible you of all people support a dictatorial way of life as long as there is food and free education open both to men and women.
Obama took a lot of grief over not getting more involved in Egypt as well. Instead he stayed out of it and let the Egyptian people hash it out amongst themselves. Doing that allows us (deniability) to not be blamed by Egyptians for what they wind up with. Some still will including you I am sure. They too had food and education for both men and women but did not like living under the heal of a non-representative government.
There was bound to be a time when the people of the Middle East rose up to demanded to be allowed to live their lives with the benefits modern time’s avails. Here it is. Many have over the years criticize the USA for supporting dictatorships in the Middle East. Now you find ways to criticize us for Libyans rising up and demanding choice to be a part of their lives. If they make a mess of it, so be it.

Because, if you look at all of the places where we've meddled recently, the people have not only wound up poorer (if not dead), they've also wound up significantly LESS FREE. Especially women. Or are you going to tell me that ISIS is an improvement over Saddam, and that al Qaida is an improvement over Assad?
This isn't just a recent trend, though, as historians have counted our overthrow of over 40 democratically-elected governments since 1900.
We have a fascination with bombs, missiles and guns. Somehow, we have the impression that we'll improve a country if we destroy it.

I don’t support a dictatorial way of life period. I would suggest you are the one always defending dictatorships or authoritarian regimes i.e. Russia

What I remember is the Libyan people begging us for help. Yet it was France that led the way, we just backed them up. Again, what the Libyans do with it is up to them.

I see no evidence of that, and after reading all the other unsubstantiated posts against this country made by you, I will declare that bogus. Besides I don’t really think you understand what defines a democracy. Claiming to be one does not make if so.

It was the Chinese who first learned the process of blowing things up. They taught the rest of the world. If you look at Putin it is obvious to me it is best we are the best at it.
