This is about business, not about moral. If you believe that Google is leaving China because they are communist, and because they deserve freedom then... Didn't the Bush administration teach you anything ?
Yes, what's the point ?. You're right. But why did you mention the Gates fundation ? This has nothing to do ? What's the point in mention it ? Since you mention it, I will tell you that Gates uses his fundation to persuade countries to adopt Windows.
Did you use babelfish to translate that ?:-) The translation has no meaning!
But anyways this news is silly. Who cares if the french goverment wants to use courriel or e-mail or emilio, etc.
And just one correction: It is not English, nor French, nor Spanish not German the ones that are open/close to adopt other words, but the goverments.
ex: the word 'courriel' may be used by the French Goverment, but not in Senegal (for those who don't know, Senegal is an African country, and they speak French). If the Australians use a new word for 'e-mail' will the British people use that word ?
> No, they are not. The Pentagon (or Whitehouse) is asking the media not to show this crap, because it is a violation of the Geneva Conventions for Iraq to even have done it, and to protect the families of the dead soldiers. If CNN, or whomever, chose to do it anyway, the US government could not do too much about it.
you may call it crap, but this war is against the UN, and the ones that are violating more the Geneva Conventions are the US bombers.
> Which ones? The Russian AK-47's? The Russian T-55 (and other model tanks? The Russian artillary pieces? The Russian fighters and bombers?
wrong, the chemical weapons...
> France, Germany, and Russia's economic reasons *against* the war, and the illegality of their deals with Saddam's regime.
sure, france, has his economics reasons also (as germany & russia )
Hi guacamolefoo, for the way you write, it seems that you are from the USA. A lot of people from USA thinks like you.
I don't blame you, it is not your fault. You think the way you think because your goverment feeds you with the propaganda that they want.
Did you know that in 'America, the country of freedom, of liberty, etc...' all information about american POWs (etc, etc) are being censorshiped ?
Did you ask yourself why ? You should. But most important, you should try to find the answer.
Did you ask yourself, why USA is attacking Irak and not any other country that is known for having mass destrucions weapons, like North-Korea or Paquistan ?
Did you know that the USA give Iraq most of the weapons for the war against Iran ?
The list gets bigger and bigger.
I don't know the real reason why USA is attacking Iraq, but for sure, there is an economic reason. Call it oil, or whatever, but there is an economic reason.
