Many of us tried to bring up so many things that were just brushed aside: the weapon inspectors didn't find anything, Sunni/Shia/Kurds, Iran, Turkey, No terrorist in Iraq, the spread of Anti-Americanism in the Muslim world... not to mention the cost in American lives and money or the taking away of the focus from the terrorist in Afganistan.
And we were called foolish and short sighted.

My friends ended up fleeing the country at different times. He left because he refused to join the army, a few years before the war. She stayed through the war, and was active in a student group advocating for progressive policies and against militarism. There many thousands like-minded people on the streets, she says. They were not tolerated when the bombs started falling. She eventually had to leave as well.
But, weird thing is, he was recently offered a job back in Serbia. He was going to go back, had the election turned out differently, but not now.
So, yes, many Serbians are racist and nationalistic, etc., but I don't know how a "country" can be racist. Like everywhere else, it is a complicated place.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Rockets or mortars hit the U.S.-protected Green Zone early Saturday, the day after powerful Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr ordered his Mehdi Army militia to extend its cease-fire by another six months.
Starting about 6:15 a.m., about 10 blasts could be heard in the sprawling area along the Tigris River that houses the U.S. and British embassies, the Iraqi government headquarters and thousands of American troops.
It was not immediately clear whether there were casualties.
Maj. Brad Leighton, a U.S. military spokesman, confirmed the Green Zone was hit by indirect fire -- the military's term for a rocket or mortar attack -- but could not immediately provide more details.
It was the fourth time this week that U.S. outposts in Baghdad appeared to be the targets of rocket or mortar attacks, killing at least six people and wounding both Iraqis and Americans, including at least two U.S. troops.
The flurry of attacks has followed a substantial lull in such assaults as security has increased and violence around the capital has dropped over the last half-year.
Earlier in the week, the U.S. military blamed Iranian-backed Shiite militias that have broken away from al-Sadr's block for the rocket attacks. Tehran denies that it sponsors extremists in Iraq.
I'll keep my fingers crossed, Molly.

Did you see this?

The Turkish military incursion into northern Iraq has apparently turned out to be on a considerably lesser scale than initial reports had suggested.
Iraqi Kurdish officials and US-led coalition sources said only a few hundred Turkish troops at most took part in the cross-border operation.
The Iraqi Kurds - always on the look-out for any Turkish move that might be construed as an attempt against their own autonomous region - said the incursion took place in a remote, rugged and unpopulated sector of the border, where heavy snows hamper movement at this time of the year.
Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga forces, who control the part of northern Iraq south of the Turkish border, had no contact with the Turkish troops and were only aware of the operation from monitoring military radio traffic.
No vehicles or tanks were involved in the move across the border, although helicopter gunships were in action as well as jets and artillery.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari - himself a Kurd - described the operation as "very, very limited".
But he added that the Turks had destroyed five bridges over the Blue River tributary - part of the Greater Zaab river complex - and said he had called in the Turkish charge d'affaires in Baghdad to deliver a protest note.

Cokie Roberts reassured me a week or so ago that nobody votes in the primaries, so the turnout numbers don't mean anything. She's quite sure the status will remain quo.
Any other result would be just too upsetting. I mean, as if the people are supposed to determine what happens in DC. Or Austin, for that matter.
The nerve!
Azzawi should have already been re-instated in Iraq's security forces. But he's still languishing on the fringes, like many other ex-Baathists unsure of whether to join the new order or keep pining for the past.
The Saddam Hussein-era colonel, who asked to be identified by only his common tribal name for safety reasons, has seen others like him assassinated and kidnapped. So he stays mostly in his Baghdad home and says he's convinced that there is no place for him within the country's Shiite-led government.
Iraq's parliament passed a new law on Jan. 12 amending de-Baathification legislation – originally introduced by the US administrator L. Paul Bremer in 2003 to purge the government and security forces of senior members of Mr. Hussein's Baath Party – but critics say it is even stricter than the first and offers even fewer chances for thousands of embittered, high-ranking Baathists to return to the fold.
"The new law is twisted and incredibly unfair," says Azzawi. "I am filled with hope now more than ever that the Baath Party will lead Iraq again.

The high turnout is v. encouraging. It is true that more voters usually show up for the general than for the primaries, and if that trend holds, we ought to have a coat-tails kind of election, here. The recent Republican low turnout doesn't impress me as much as the earlier ones; now that McCain is the presumptive nominee, some Republicans who will show up for the general are likely sitting out the primaries.

No mention of the 50 years of hostility from 90 miles away by the world's super-duper power, or the multiple assassination attempts and efforts to undermine the Cuban government, which just might have contributed to Castro's decision to hold onto power rather than hold out for democracy.

Well, it's hard to extrapolate from Texas nationally, but Texas Dems have had reason to be depressed for decades, now. The party has been generally spineless and worthless, and unsupportive of candidates across the board.
The fact that so many Dems are bothering to turn out early and vote in the primaries speaks volumes for the likely turnout in November, and, as you say, coat-tails at least in the state races. Dare I say this could herald Texas actually becoming a two-party state for the first time since Reconstruction? Maybe the first time ever.
It's worth hoping for.

Then there are things like the Gardasil mess, where Perry tried to impose it on people without offering to pay for it (Texas has the highest % of people without health ins., which wouldn't cover the $300 cost anyway; and we've got lots of people who couldn't pay that price). That didn't endear him to anybody.
Now he wants to force a HUGE transit line up from Mexico: 8 lanes or more of freeway, with separate (i.e., more) truck lanes AND space for passenger and freight train lines. Problem is, the rural folk whose land this would run on don't like it, and don't want to give up their property for it.
Then there's the border fence, which is about as popular as a whore in a church meeting, and Skeletor telling people those who oppose it just don't want their "view of the river" obstructed. Which means he knows nothing at all whereof he speaks. Lots of people along the border are, I suspect, starting to think Democrats look better than the GOP.

Haven't taught this course in 10 years. Shit, I needed to convert from overheads to powerpoint!
Thousands of Turkish troops, supported by aircraft and artillery, crossed into northern Iraq on Thursday in what appeared to be an escalation of their campaign to hunt down rebels of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), believed to be sheltering in the remote mountain areas straddling the Turkish-Iraqi border.
The Turkish military said the ground operation started after warplanes and artillery attacked a number of targets inside Iraqi territory. Turkish television said up to 10,000 troops, backed by planes and helicopters, moved 16 miles beyond the border. Ankara said it had given Iraqi and US leaders advance warning.
A PKK spokesman said last night its fighters had killed 22 Turkish soldiers and wounded many more during clashes that continued yesterday. Neither the casualties nor the location of the fighting could be verified.
Senior Iraqi Kurdish officials last night played down the reports of a large-scale incursion, saying Turkish forces had entered the largely uninhabited area of Rykan, a few miles into Iraqi territory, and had since mostly returned across the border. "It was a show of force, designed to meet Turkish public opinion at home, and test the reaction of Baghdad and Washington. They were far from our forces," one official said.
The main border crossing between Turkey and Iraq was operating normally last night.
News of the operation brought calls for restraint from Britain, Europe and the US. Washington has effectively given the Turks a green light for limited military operations in the north and has been providing Turkey with satellite and other intelligence on PKK movements.

There are fears that expanded Turkish military activities in the north could exacerbate tensions with Iraq's Kurds, undermining the only secure area in the country and damaging Iraq's territorial integrity. Britain urged Turkey to leave Iraqi territory as soon as possible.
Iraqi Kurdish officials were far more concerned about another incident on Thursday, when 12 Turkish tanks were confronted by Kurdish security forces as they tried to leave their base in a disused airport at Barmani, about 40 miles inside Iraq. Under an agreement with Kurdish leaders hammered out in the 1990s, the Turks have kept a few thousand troops in the north to "monitor" PKK movements.
Kurdish officials said the Turkish tanks had attempted to leave their base without first notifying local security forces. "It went against the conditions of the agreement and they were requested by our peshmerga to return to their base," said an aide to Kurdistan's regional president, Massoud Barzani.

so to a wingnut patriotism means slapping your hand on a chest and wearing a lapel pin (no doubt made in China)
that seems pretty shallow to me
who the hell puts their hand over heart during the national anthem? perhaps the pledge.
ErinPDX
Thank you. I was never taught to do that -- only to stand for the nat'l anthem. Hand-on-heart was for the pledge, period.
Perhaps it's different in other parts of the country or something.
Sen. Barack Obama's refusal to wear an American flag lapel pin along with a photo of him not putting his hand over his heart during the National Anthem led conservatives on Internet and in the media to question his patriotism.
I wear an expensive, ornate brooche on my lapel and grab my groin with my gloved hand.
I use to have a circle pin, but I've never had a flag pin.
heck i refuse to sing the national anthem
...while digesting Readers' Digest in the back of the dirty book store...
The e-mail sent out by the Digital Brownshirts stated that Obama 'refused to put his hand on his heart during the peldege of allegiance'.
That along with the conflation of Obama swearing in on a bible and Keith Ellison swearing in on a Koran has the lizard brain set on Orange Alert.

The introduction of a compulsory national DNA database has been ruled out on ethical and legal grounds, the Home Office said today.
Fresh calls were made for a nationwide register to hold the DNA profiles of every citizen in the country following the convictions of Steve Wright, the Suffolk serial killer, and Mark Dixie, the murderer of Sally Anne Bowman.
Both men were convicted after DNA found on their victims was linked with samples they had supplied to the police national DNA database.
However, Lincolnshire chief constable, Tony Lake, who is also chairman of the national DNA database board, said today that he and many of his colleagues were not convinced of the need for a universal database.
"There are no government plans to introduce a universal compulsory, or voluntary, national DNA Database and to do so would raise significant practical and ethical issues," said a Home Office spokesman.
Policing minister Tony McNulty also outlined the position of the government on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, saying that it felt the balance was "about right" already on the question of the DNA database.

uhm... I think a heap of "whack-jobs" in left blogistan actually went so far in their predictions to include an eventual war involving the Turks and the Kurds - including me, but in my defense it was because I'd done some reading on the subject
Also I probably had been pointed to the history of the region's conflicts by one or more kooky and shrill left-wing blogger - I regret knowing all this crap in advance of it happening... and not getting paid like a pundit for my troubles

"First he kicked his American flag pin to the curb. Now Barack Obama has a new round of patriotism problems. Wait until you hear what the White House hopeful didn't do during the singing of the national anthem," said Steve Doocy, co-host of "Fox and Friends" on the Fox News Channel.
"He felt it OK to come out of the closet as the domestic insurgent he is," former radio host Mark Williams said on Fox.
Domestic insurgent, huh? Is Mark Williams Andrew Sullivan's Fox name?

Iseman, 40, was raised on a farm outside of Homer City, Pa., and attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1990 with a degree in elementary education.
She went to Washington and got a job as a receptionist at Alcalde & Fay in Northern Virginia. Within a year, she had risen to special assistant to the firm's president. She was later promoted to lobbyist and was made the youngest partner in the firm in the late 1990s. She specialized in telecom issues, and one of her primary clients was Florida-based Paxson, which was rapidly purchasing a series of broadcast stations to create a national network.

A view of Obama from Der Spiegel--seen more as a dot com flare than a viable endeavor.
...if Obama is elected he will eventually be forced to disappoint his voters. Politics in a democratic society is a balancing of interests, not a revivalist meeting. It takes finesse, experience and power to transform ideas into reality. Hope and optimism can enhance these qualities, but they cannot replace them. Obama's message is more of a promise to heal the nation than a campaign platform.
The future Obama is promising seems foggy and indistinct. He wants to change the rules of engagement in politics, but he neglects to explain how and in what direction. He wants to write a new page in the history books, but what handwriting does he plan to use to make his entry? He wants to drive out lobbyists, but if he does, who will champion the interests of union members, war veterans and chemical corporations? He wants to negotiate with the world's dictators, but to what end, exactly?
In fact, Obama's most dangerous land mines are hidden in foreign policy. SNIP
But there is no room for thoughtfulness in the turbulent world of Obamania. Hillary Clinton, his rival in the fight for the Democratic nomination, suffers from the same problems as traditional companies in the automotive and engineering industries did when confronted with the hype of the New Economy. She is out of touch with his supporters. She uses language to explain, while Obama uses rhetoric to intoxicate. She tells voters what she is bringing to the table. He tells them what they can become. If Clinton is a solid stock, Obama is an option. If she's a secure investment, he is speculation.

Fac...rivacy_concerns
There have been some concerns expressed regarding the use of Facebook as a means of surveillance and data mining. Theories have been written about the possible misuse of Facebook[99] and privacy proponents have criticised the site's current privacy agreement.[100] According to the policy, "We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services and other users of Facebook, to supplement your profile." However, some features—such as AIM away-message harvesting and campus newspaper monitoring—have been dropped and Facebook has since responded to the concerns. Facebook has assured worried users the next privacy policy will not include the clause about information collection and has denied any data mining is being done "for the CIA or any other group."[101] However, the possibility of data mining by private individuals unaffiliated with Facebook remains open, as evidenced by the fact that two MIT students were able to download, using an automated script, over 70,000 Facebook profiles from four schools (MIT, NYU, the University of Oklahoma, and Harvard) as part of a research project on Facebook privacy published on December 14, 2005.[102]
Another clause that some users are critical of reserves the right to sell users' data to private companies, stating "We may share your information with third parties, including responsible companies with which we have a relationship." This concern has also been addressed by spokesman Chris Hughes who said "Simply put, we have never provided our users' information to third party companies, nor do we intend to."[103] It is unclear if Facebook plans to remove that clause as well.
Third party applications have access to almost all user information and "Facebook does not screen or approve Platform Developers and cannot control how such Platform Developers use any personal information."[100]

Turkey invading Iraq was an inevitability.
Because the intentional destruction of the Iraqi central government would lead to a defacto Kurdish state, which would inevitably draw the attention of the Turks, since the Kurds live in northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey, and northwesterin Iran.

A Facebook controversy from a few months ago...
http://www.pcworld.com/
businessc...ontroversy.html
In the wake of Facebook's disastrous Beacon advertising program, privacy experts wonder if the company's overzealous use of customer information will force corporate IT departments to analyze how their corporate data intersects with the social networking trend.
On Dec. 5, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized in his blog for the Beacon program, which tracked the purchases of Facebook users on third-party websites such as Overstock.com and Fandango.com. The information about those purchases was then pushed to friends of that user on their respective Facebook homepages. As an example, if one person booked a movie ticket on Fandango, his or her friends might get a notification that showed his purchase.
The program was criticized by progressive advocacy group Moveon.org, which quickly garnered nearly 70,000 signatures in opposition to the Beacon service for not having an adequate opt-out function. Zuckerberg announced in his apology that an opt-out is now possible.
By all measures, users pushed back more than Facebook anticipated. Though people commonly believe the young demographic that has evangelized social networks like Facebook and MySpace would subscribe to a no-holds-barred sharing policy, in reality it wants to share information on its own terms, says Larry Ponemon, founder of the Ponemon Institute, a privacy and business ethics think tank. "They view social networks as a private organization," he says. "It's groups or people you know who you choose to share information with."
I have no clue how either Obama or Hillary would actually run the country.
Better than it is run now, given that it's not run at all, except to ground. But yes, being a good campaigner is not necessarily the same as being good at governing. The latter is more prosaic on the average day.
It would be cool if they made Obama Girl press secretary.

Steve Warshak, whose conviction was reported Friday by The Cincinnati Enquirer, is founder and president of Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, which distributes Enzyte and a number of products alleged to boost energy, manage weight, reduce memory loss and aid restful sleep.
Television ads for Enzyte feature "Smiling Bob," a goofy, grinning man whose life gets much better after he uses the product, which allegedly boosted his sexual performance.
Warshak, 40, could face more than 20 years in prison and his company could have to forfeit tens of millions of dollars.
Messages seeking comment from Warshak's Boston attorney Martin Weinberg and Assistant U.S. Attorney Anne Porter were left at their offices Friday night.
Prosecutors claimed customers were bilked out of $100 million through a series of deceptive ads, manipulated credit card transactions and the company's refusal to accept returns or cancel orders. They said unauthorized credit card charges generated thousands of complaints over unordered products.

Oh yes, nationalism isn't unique. But not every country commits genocide in the name of nationalism.
"Regardless of whether he was “insane” to begin with, he has gone through quite an ordeal since his arrest in Pakistan in March 2002. Shuttled through CIA “black sites” around the world, he was subjected to a sustained course of interrogation designed to instill what a CIA training manual euphemistically calls “debility, dependence and dread.” Zubaydah’s world became freezing rooms alternating with sweltering cells. Screaming noise replaced by endless silence. Blinding light followed by dark, underground chambers. Hours confined in contorted positions. And, as we recently learned, Zubaydah was subjected to waterboarding. We do not know what remains of his mind, and we will probably never know what he experienced."

Sadly, nationalism is very embedded in Serb culture, as well as Croat culture. And until it is really addressed, and changed, that region will be screwed up for some time.
Oh yes, nationalism isn't unique. But not every country commits genocide in the name of nationalism.
No, but then not every country faces the particular set of circumstances which tend to provoke something like that. For instance, Rwanda had severe overpopulation, continuous fights over resources and land, and these facts put the hating groups much closer together than had been the case in the past. Then add to that a particular history of domination and the reversal in it, some emotional exhortations and you set the stage.
We also know, thanks to Conservatards, that Obama
"has the most liberal voting record in the Senate."

I don't remember reading that Rwanda was severly overpopulated.
All the other ingredients, yes.
But other countries also can have situations that could lead to genocide, and somehow are able to throttle back. There was some seriously nationalist talk from the Hungarians concerning their ethnic kin in the neighboring countries, but they ended up backing off of the more imflammatory rhetoric.

I mean that Obama as a presidential candidate is not knowable in the way that Clinton and McCain are knowable. Despite Obama's readily available position papers, his popularity derives from his identity as not fixed, and thereby able to represent what people project onto him and hope for themselves and others. He represents not himself, because he is not a fixed political entity in the way that Clinton and McCain are, but the empty space that disappointment in contemporary politics has created. That's not a criticism of him; I'm not saying that he is politically empty. He and Clinton are much the same in terms of policy. But he occupies a unique position politically.

NYTimes follows up on the too close to lobbyists part of their story on St. McCain. This will be harder for the MCMers' mancrushes to overcome. But they can try to ignore it.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/2...gin&
oref=slogin
In late 1998, Senator John McCain sent an unusually blunt letter to the head of the Federal Communications Commission, warning that he would try to overhaul the agency if it closed a broadcast ownership loophole.
The letter, and two later ones signed by Mr. McCain, then chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, urged the commission to abandon plans to close a loophole vitally important to Glencairn Ltd., a client of Vicki Iseman, a lobbyist. The provision enabled one of the nation’s largest broadcasting companies, Sinclair, to use a marketing agreement with Glencairn, a far smaller broadcaster, to get around a restriction barring single ownership of two television stations in the same city.
Looks like an article worth bookmarking under "McCain-NOT Straight Talking."
A review of the record, including agency records now at the National Archives and interviews with participants, shows that Mr. McCain, Republican of Arizona, played a significant role in killing the plan to eliminate the loophole. His actions followed requests by Ms. Iseman and lobbyists at other broadcasting companies, according to lobbying records and Congressional aides.

On the Rwandan question: What I've read is that there was overpopulation in the relative sense: compared to the resources that had been available to each family in the past.
In some ways that's what is going on in the Israel-Palestine fights, too: lack of water and lack of good arable land for the numbers that are there.
These may not be the main reasons wars happen, but when you look at history you will find the scarcity aspect in many wars.
