    Why not? It simply works, I can do whatever I want.

    That's not my experience. First off, I'm a UNIX sysadmin.

    A lame one then.

    So we have like 20 GUI frontends to the cdwrite framework, but every single one produces an intermediate image

    No. And even if that would have been the truth, a "UNIX sysadmin" should do $ man growisofs

    And here you just supported my claim. The killing might be religiously motivated (that done by the US is - at least GWB said so). But suicide attacks are materially motivated (a promise of the "martyr's family's prosperity). Were "Divine Wind" attacks religiously motivated? Hm?

    You still don't understand the big "Muslim" world (AKA sheiks, kings and princes) has too much invested in this world to really hurry to the next one, do you. Also, suicide attacks are not religiously motivated.

    Second lesson: The "devaluation" that you speak of is called inflation. Yes, over time an individual dollar is worth less. We also make more of these dollars for our time. This is not some giant conspiracy.

    Reading comprehension fail:

    White phosphorus is not listed in the schedules of the Chemical Weapons Convention. It can be legally used as a flare to illuminate the battlefield, or to produce smoke to hide troop movements from the enemy. Like other unlisted substances, it may be deployed for "Military purposes... not dependent on the use of the toxic properties of chemicals as a method of warfare". But it becomes a chemical weapon as soon as it is used directly against people. A chemical weapon can be "any chemical which through its chemical action on life processes can cause death, temporary incapacitation or permanent harm".

    WP can burn (as in "cause chemical burns").

    FTFY. Iraqis were on their turf. US genocidal invaders had no interest being there. Yet, they were, used chemical weapons, shot at everything that moved - militants, women, children and made jokes about it.
