You tend to forget that the US supplied him with chemical weapons and encouraged him to pursue war with Iran.
Why aren't we helping the people in Congo who are begging for our help to go there and stop the war?
We have a president that deports foreign citizens to Syria and Jordan in order to be tortured and yet you come here talking about how we should remove tyrants. It's up to the Iraqis to remove Saddam and it's up to you to vote against Bush unless you are in favor of torturing prisoners and invading countries without proof.
There will be no fair trial. He wants to embarass the big super powers and France and the US have a lot to loose if Saddam gets a lawyer and a fair trial.
The guy lied his way into invading Iraq because he believes God told him to invade. You don't see anything wrong with that?
The UN can't do shit about it, that's why the superpowers have veto powers. If the superpowers didn't have veto powers in the UN there would be no UN because they'd all leave.
Besides, it's the US who was responsible for creating the UN but Bush doesn't give a damn about his country's achievements nor it's constitution.
Resolution after resolution are ignored by many countries and sure as hell the US ain't doing anything about it. Besides, it's up to the UN to decide wether or not military force is necessary.
Are you telling me that a Bush administration who made it clear from the beginning that they didn't care less about the UN is all of a sudden trying to selectively enforce UN resolutions even without UN's authorisation?
Really he helped the terrorists who where trying to oust him? Interesting. Is he the one who provided them with boxcutters and plane tickets? Must've cost him an arm and a leg.
The resistance will continue, most of the guerilla fighters are against Saddam to begin with.
Everyone who disagrees with you should get out of the US? Yeah you truely espouse American values for sure. Sorry but most people in the US are smarter than you.
Only problem is that Kazaa already offers a Kazaa Plus version free of spyware for a fee. So if Sherman didn't offer such a thing he'd have probably lost the case.
True it's not much progress but it still is better than nothing, it at least saved the lives of a few prisoners. I don't see why such countries shouldn't be part of the human rights commission especially when it helps shine the light on there abuses. If they're gonna put only countries who respect human rights in that position there really wouldn't be many choices.
Almost 10 years now and I've never had problems with the Internet. So why do governments feel the need to control it? Just leave us the hell alone damn it. It's none of your damn business.
People in the US go to prison for selling hardcore porn on the internet, people in Saudi Arabia go to prison for praising Ben Laden, people in Egypt go to prison for being gay. If the UN takes all those laws and make them international laws, nobody would be able to do shit.
Yeah and actually if you cared to look deeply enough you'd have noticed that such a position helped those third-world countries who headed up the UN "Human Rights" group make progress towards that goal.
I wouldn't want the UN controlling the Internet though, I don't think anyone should control it.
Stop being stupid. Support the artists? Ha sure as if we don't know where that money goes. In the Middle East and Asia all the records are pirated and yet the artists have no problem bragging about the millions they make. Yes, they do make millions, even though there records are pirated.
If you wanna make money, stop selling crappy music. Heck nowadays there's no music worthy enough for my bandwidth or my 99cents.
If they win there case I'll make sure to create a porn site and sue the ISP's because of potential porn piracy not to mention that lots of people go on the internet for porn. So why shouldn't I get my cut?
"It's a scam to get game companies to give us donations, you know just like we did with MicroSoft. Oh did I say that? No, it's all about saving our kids from the hellhouse of violence and sex."
If I was a music pirate I would be pretty happy about it because it'll make it very difficult for them to sue anyone for downloading music. The problem is that music sucks nowadays and I don't see myself wasting time or money or bandwidth to download a song. It just ain't worth it.

Yeah he does look kinda like Santa. So if you're on the naughty list, Santa Saddam may be coming after you, little kids.

I thought the US went there to get the WMD's.
You have a good point about fear.

How is that? Bush invaded a country under false pretenses, ousted a leader and captured him based on lies. How exactly can that be good?
He can hide his nukes so perfectly yet he can't hide himself? :)
What worries me is that people who's machines get worm infected might be the ones getting sued.
You know, China and Cuba are not the UN, they're only members. And the US, Europe and Canada who too are members of the UN rejected that stupid idea.
The same guy who created the Freedom from pornograhy week and the same administration who's suing hundreds of people for obscenity charges? :)

I doubt that the human race is even remotely ready for something like this.

Amen dude.

Because it has nothing to do with him, not to mention that he's retiring in a couple of weeks.
Personally I don't download nor listen to music. So I say, fuck'em.
hehe true. It will be quiet legal to download music then since they're being paid for it.
$250k and 5 years in prison for making fictious threats? Jesus we can't allow ourselves a moment of rage nowadays.
Yeah we don't want spammers turning into serial killers once they're out of prison. Give'em a big fine, but prison?
