  1. Re:OMG! on Russians Take Ukraine's Last Land Base In Crimea · · Score: 1

    we caused way more Iraqi civilian deaths than Saddam. besides which Saddam was our man, we gave him money and duel use technology to make WMD which he used. later we turn on him and cause mass death and destruction for civilians, and bring "democracy at gunpoint", to this day with Iraqis factions killing each other, far worse situation than under Saddam. We took a land where Al Qaeda wasn't and turned it into a terrorist recruiting ground and rally site. It's a total and ongoing failure by the USA's stupidity and arrogance.

    And then there is Afghanistan, where Al Qaeda and the taliban that hosted them left over a decade ago to dozens of other countries, leaving us fighting whom? and doing what? protecting drug lords and their crops so CIA can make billions of dollars, bombing innocent villagers gatherings, negotiating with the present various "taliban" groups because of our utter failure in accomplishing anything with the "war".......

    raising your own silly straw man and setting it on fire proves nothing.

    do you deny wintergreen tea is similar to and can act identically to aspirin (including dangers of overdose)? that is a natural medicine, currently unrelated, which does work with obvious proof due to the chemical involved.

    those antibiotics are created, transported, marketed with oil and coal power and would not exist without them. fossil fuel has driven human progress, and the ony viable scalable alternative is nuclear power from third and fourth generation reactors.
