Re: WMD? Nope. Oil? Nope. Try Gog and Magog...
So I'm walking up high street and bbc news sticks a camera in my face and asks me to comment on the lockerbie bomber being released. I said I wasn't in a position to make an intelligent comment on it. The reporter just laughed and said that's alright and i thought, yeah I guess you wouldn't be out on the street asking people for comments who look like me if you were out for intelligent comments. So I said alright, well basically I think there really is no justice in a situation like this, the crimes are too heinous, whether or not he rots in jail or released, it doesn't return the victims to their loved ones. And frankly this thing has been political theater from the beginning, a way for our respective governments to mollify the victims and posture themselves as capable of providing recourse of justice to the affected. The reporter quickly lost his smile and looked somewhat disturbed, to be honest. I'm sure they didn't put me on tv.

I overheard a conversation that they did put on another american who frothed anger towards scotland and wanted everyone to ban it.

So on it goes.

Anyway I just read your posts. I honestly think you should have the last word. Its too bad you and I are the only ones left reading this thread because I think your posts deserve a wide audience, and its truly a pleasure to discuss things with you, decks.
