I use KMail all the time now, and must have 4-5 thousand messages with it. It used to be buggy for me, but KDE 3.1's version of KMail is rock-solid, as far as I'm concerned. Turning off HTML is great, as is gpg integration. I'm very much looking forward to Kontact as well.
Even though I'm not an environmentalist, I wish that we would start putting solar panels on top of downtown buildings, or where ever else we can put them that it doesn't change the buildings appearance dramatically. Even if they don't help alot, they would help some, I suppose. Its not the total answer, but any way to not buy oil from the mideast is a good thing. The sooner we stop buying oil, the sooner the middle east will lose their income.
You must have forgotten WWII, where the Germans launched V-2's into London's innocent civilians, multiple times. oh, yeah, and that whole holocaust thing too.
Even if they weren't scuds, they were fired from more than 92 miles away, which is ALSO prohibited by the UN resolutions. Not that those resolutions are ever enforced.
Massive amounts of food, medicine, and supplies are scheduled to be delivered starting Monday, from what I've heard, as soon as we capture the port cities, so that we can ship it up to the rest of the country.
Well, I actually read that whole document at that link you posted. for a document that alleged 19 war crimes, there are only 11 references, and it is filled with sentences like:
"Persons were killed, assaulted, tortured, illegally detained and prosecuted, harassed and humiliated as a result of these policies."
that do not have any direct proof attached to them. In fact, no proof is offered for most of the allegations in the document.
And it also says that the US fighting a small country is a war crime. Iraq had the 4th largest army in 1991, it is hardly a small, defensless country back then.
And of course, no one thinks that the millions and millions of people who died at the hands of Stalin during the 20th century is a war crime. And the millions of muslims that Saddam has murdered is a war crime. And of course China always mentions that they reserve the right to take back Taiwan by force someday, but no one accuses them of warmongering, or attacking a defenseless nation.
And this report is written by a very left-wing, liberal attorney, who worked in the Johnson administration. Not that liberals don't tell the truth, but it is worth noting, especially when every link to a conservative newspaper is replied with about 10 responses saying how that newspaper is a right-wing publication.
Well, who the fuck else is going to rebuild Iraq? If oil wells are broken, then you bring in an oil company to fix it. Are we going to let greenpeace put out those fires? Who would (in your eyes) be the legitimate group to fix the oil wells, if they get destroyed?
yeah, and Iraq doesn't have howitzers, bombs, mines, scuds, or rockets that could have been aimed at an oil well. I mean, we're attacking a poor defenseless country, right?
Don't worry...we will find tanks of chemical and bio weapons, stockpiles of scuds and mobile launchers, and nuclear material stockpiled when the war is over, and we go searching for all of that. We will have pictures and be able to document their authenticity.
but, i'm sure its just a US conspiracy that we find those weapons, yeah, we must have planted them. The US can never do anything right or just.
I too support this war, and I hope and pray for as few civilian casualties as possible. I want every Iraqi citizen to enjoy freedom and liberty after that asshole dictator has been blown into 1000 pieces.
I totally agree with you. I would like to see our foreign dependence on oil removed, especially in the middle-east. Doing this would remove almost all clout that they have in the world, and allow them to just meddle with each other, instead of messing around with us, and we could just ignore them, instead of bowing to them.
I am a conservative, and a republican, and I think that there has to be a two-pronged approach, as you mentioned. Let's solve the problem in the short-term (ANWAR drilling), and solve the problem in the long-term (finding alternatives to oil). The US has always been a leader in developing new science and engineering, and we should make it a national priority (like the manhatten project or apollo) to find the long-term solution.
Once the oil demand backs off, the mid-east can whither itself back into the middle ages for all I care...
How do you think people in the US would respond to a national firewall to protect from outside attacks? Would people view it has a means to control the internet content? Or a valid and necessary element in our nation?
My personal choice would be to have a national firewall, even though it could be used against us, or limit our privacy. But at least we could completely shut off our internet access if another country decided to attach us.
Also, we have to enlist talk radio in this fight. The news media will not report our side of this! ABC is owned by Disney, and many of the the other news outlets are part of the Entertainment industry. National talk radio is the only mainstream alternative to the ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN cronies.
I know I may get flamed for this, but I think the best people to email are either Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. You can email them here:

I know you may not agree with either of these guys, but when they make a stink about something, people usually listen. The democrats are not going to help in this. The news media is not going to help. Both groups are for this legislation. Talk radio and conservatives can help.
do you really think bush is going to sign this?? Think of all the times that the entertainment industry makes fun of him. There's no way he would sign this to help him, he could care less about them. But it doesn't hurt to let people know the crap they are trying to pull.
Hollings is a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT!! Just wanted to make sure everyone out there knew, that this liberal, who is supposed to represent the "common man", is behind this piece of legislation.
Reemul is 100% right. 19 Islamic Arabs hijacked those planes. This is not racism, this is FACT!! Does it not make sense to scrutinize arab males more than an old black woman? I think it does. Right now, some arab whack-job is planning on crashing a plane into one of our nuclear reactors. If you disagree the parent post so much, what should we do to prevent this? What is your brilliant idea??
I feel bad for the innocent arab people that are going to get scrutinized more and more at airports. But its just the sad truth, we don't have a choice. Not that we shouldn't scrutinize other people, because lets face it, because not all of these miserable excuse for human beings are arab. There probably is a better solution than just profiling, and I'm sure the government would love to hear any suggestions.
If you got robbed by someone, who lets say was a member of a minority group, are you going to ask everyone you meet, even if they don't fit that profile if they robbed you? No, your going to ask people who fit that profile. Does it really make sense any other way?
I'm trying to pay off my student loans now, and its going to take at least 9 more years to do so. Its not fair to give people in prison all of that for free.
People make choices in life. Some people choose to go to school, some people decide to do drugs and be a thug. Prisons are horrible places to live, I give you that. But these people committed crimes, and they should have realized what prison was like before they chose to go out and commit a crime.
And if you think people that murder and rape others can come out of prison rehabilitiated, then I just hope they move into your neighborhood rather than mine.
I use Yahoo for just about all my email now. Free POP3 access to retrieve (I use Eudora), but I can't seem to send mail through Eudora, but I can live. I never get spam in my yahoo account, very rarly. I have a hotmail account, but it gets 20-30 spam messages a day, and its useless.

Yes, these eco-wacko groups always need a crisis, that's the only way that raise money, and get themselves on TV.
