Well, you got that partly right. A-mer-ica is good, but some of our allies
were bad and that's why they didn't support us against Saddam. Look up "Oil
for Food Scandal."

Lawrence, talking to you is like talking to a robot or a computer. It's
programmed to respond in one way, it's programmed to read only certain
points of view and it rejects all other inputs. You put on your rosy
glasses and see: us, 100% good; them, 100% bad. I'm not supporting the
Islamists. There are weird people out there. The way they treat women is a
tragedy, but they don't see that it's what's keeping them stuck anymore than
you can see what's wrong with us. Of course, fortunately, there's nothing
wrong with us. We're so good in fact that we need to export democracy at
the point of a gun whether there is soil for it to grow or not. Bleep blip
blink flash hum (talking to computer). Output [computer voice] A-mer-ica is
good. A-mer-ica is good. A-mer-ica is good. A-mer-ica is good ...
It's pointless to mention that our allies were against the invasion of Iraq.
[computer voice] A-mer-ica is good. Allies like A-mer-ica.

Eric,
Irene is far too emotional now to explain what shes up to, and perhaps she
got so caught up in the Rape of Nanking she forgot, but here is my theory:
She is engaged in a left-handed defense of the Islamists: a) Lawrence
admires the Japanese because they raped Nanking. b) Lawrence hates the
Islamists because they are torturing a few people from time to time. c)
Therefore Lawrence is being inconsistent. And since mad President Bush is
about to bomb the heck out of Iran, and since Lawrence thinks like Bush,
perhaps if Lawrence can be shown that he is being inconsistent, someone
might do the same service for the President.
The flaw in that reasoning, Irene, is that I dont hate the Islamists
because they torture a few people. I oppose them because they have attacked
America and Americas allies, they intend to keep on attacking America and
its allies, they intend to conquer Europe, and they intend to conquer
America. Actually I oppose not only the militant Islamists but the
Fundamentalist ones as well because the latter agree with the former except
for means. Wahhaj wants to conquer America non-violently, but then he wants
to do away with the constitution and institute Sharia law.
The French under Napoleon fought the British. And the British were still
mistrustful of them prior to WWI. We fought the Japanese during WWII but
the new Japanese are kinder and gentler in regard to us. At present we are
trying to fight the Islamists and their Fundamentalist allies (despite the
help and sympathy they are being given by our lefties) but should they be
defeated and should a moderate Islam arise that disavows any interest in
conquering us or our allies, then I would be pleased. I might even find a
few things to admire in about 60 years. However, Ill be 131 in 60 years so
I can promise.
Lawrence

Irene/Andy: Lawrence admires the Japanese. The
Japanese never
even apologized for what they did. Never
apologized as in today, can't
bring themselves to do it.
Irene/Andy writes in English. The Norman-English
ruler William the Conqueror invaded Wales in 1093
and killed a whole bunch of people. The Normans
never apologized for conquering Wales. Even today,
the English never apologize for having subdued
Wales. English people. English people living
today. They never apologize. Not even once.
That must be why Irene/Andy writes in English:
he/she likes people who invade and never apologize.
