</irony> http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/29/056227&mode=thread&tid=126 /. reports that Voice over IP is beating classic phone lines. How will the anti-war bigots explain this hi-tech reconstruction of Iraq away as one the evils of the USA?
Perhaps they'll go on bleating about the increased level of crime since Saddam left? Willfully ignoring the fact that their quality of life increased a zillionfold since he was removed?
Please! Please! Can I try? Well... The only thing that the US "gave" to the Iraqis was the right to use the instant messaging softwares! They didn't gave them Internet! "Ta daaam..." Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
My, my Internet in Iraq? Who has a PC nevermind a Lap top, Cell phone, etc. In Iraq, you're telling me that some stupid internet or computer crap is going to nullify the fact that Iraq is as unstable as ever. This thread is just sad. And $1 for a internet cafe? Who can even afford that in Iraq what a joke. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Iraqi suffering It's true. When we've gone forth and made the Iraqis as vacuous as Americans tend to be, they won't know when and if they're suffering. It's a win-win deal. Iraqis become part of the consumer market, and they are spared suffering for ignorance. Who cares about faith in God and justice in life when you can get a stroke over AIM? Overdoing the westernization of any Islamic center can have shocking results. Just ask the Iranians. :m:, Tiassa Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Hey, they have VoIP and Yahoo! Chat so who cares if they don't have freedom? Or stability. Or food. Or heatlh care. Or their home and family members.
In case you'd want to be educated about the actual situation in Iraq, kajoli, you should know that there is less of a shortage of food, water and freedom in Iraq now, than under Saddam. Read up on the UN pages on Iraq. Read. Think. Learn. The conditions have improved, but you are still spreading your bloody lies. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Let's try that, shall we? Under Saddam: US enforced Sanctions for 10 years. Ofcourse Saddam got his $$ and women and booze by smuggling the oil out....so figure it out: who is responsible for those innocent Iraqi deaths and poverty and sub-standard life. By the way while you are on the subject of thinking. reading. and education...my name is kajolishot.
Are you educated about the situation regarding Iraq? Have you ever been to Iraq? Do you know any Iraqis?
Wraith, don't waste your time. From your quote, it seems DJ is now regurgitating the same crap we heard earlier from clockwood: http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=396253&highlight=more electricity iraq#post396253 Just stick him on the ignore list and save yourself the grief.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Saddam in power for thirty or forty years? With United States backing? Gosh Captain America, what went wrong with our good friend Saddam? Iraq's only export is oil. The US is if not the largest consumer of oil then one of the largest. If those sanctions hadn't been there the quality of life would have improved. So true. So, so true...
I find the way this member so easily trivialises something which he himself will probably never experience first hand rather alarming, but furthermore not only does he seem to dismiss the gravity of the situation (with a nonchalant wave of a hand) about which he pontificates like a buffoon, but he (I'm assuming it's a he) then goes onto degrading the situation to a mockery, something that seems to cause him amusement. has this member no fear of emabarassing himself? If I was so lacking in intelligence and incisive perspective on such serious matters, I wouldn't dare show myself up in such an open forum. No, such a member deserves to be humilliated i'm affraid, for engaging in a battle of "Wits" with this child is nonsensical, when I fight battles of wit, I always ensure that my opponent is armed at least.
Yes, I do. A fellow student at the university I attended was an Iraqi refugee. He had a lot of interesting stories to tell about the lovely Saddam regime, and how his brother came close to being executed. Happy stuff you know.
Right, good, which makes your thread seem even more banal, since you obviously have no empathy nor respect for the very serious suffering endured by many many people. You need to listen to a lot more of your buddy's little stories.
Hmmm. From today's news stories on how life is better in Iraq under the US... BAGHDAD, July 29 (AFP) -- At the checkpoint, the Americans found a handgun, ordered the 56-year-old man out of his car and proceeded to bash his head with a rifle butt. Japanese reporters in Iraq say U.S. troops roughed them_up American troops accused of killing in Mosul US denies allegation that its forces fired on crowd after clash _BAGHDAD - Obsessed with capturing Saddam Hussein, American soldiers turned a botched raid on a house in the Mansur district of Baghdad yesterday into a bloodbath, opening fire on scores of Iraqi civilians in a crowded street and killing up to 11, including two children, their mother and crippled father. At least one civilian car caught fire, cremating its occupants. Victims of trigger-happy Task Force 20 Rage triggered by US raid that claimed five lives

Do you think that knowing one traumatized Iraqi gets you somewhere even near knowledge ? pathetic
G.K DJ is a mixed bag of emotions, loves arabs one day, hates them the next for beating him over the head with a rod! Talk about Danish dictatorship!
and who the hell are you, you confused barely-arab EUROPEAN "intellectual" to say who's pathetic and who's not? i'm sure YOU know better than the rest of us.
