  • The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

  • The loss of Zimbabwe and South Africa to the Reds . . .

    . . . compares favorably with the loss of Afghanistan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China to the Socialist/Communist ideologues elsewhere. Of course, the Anglo-American world Realpolitik has suffered it's share of losses to Right Wing Ideologue regimes, as well. Look no further than France, Italy, and Iran among others. We could even mention America in ...

I certainly am not the first to make ...

  • the hitch(ens) in your theory is this...

    You consistently defend the action in Iraq, as being a fight against the al Qaida. That defeating the al Qaida is the ultimate goal. Okay, a legitimate goal, and argued well enough...except you incomprehensibly fall into the same trap as all the neo-cons who started the war! You place no value on the heads of bin Laden or al Zawahiri. How is ...
