Lots of things wrong with this thread.

1. Are we surprised that a left wing news channel wrote a smear piece with no factual evidence?

2. Obama is closer to Bush. McCain is closer to Hillary. Bill Clinton is closer to Heffner :P

3. @Megaman Which million ppl are you talking about? Whether or not you agree with the wars and the WMD fiasco the Taliban and Hussein still committed genocide. Or are you pulling these one million ppl out of your ass?

Its not difficult. If you bothered to question what people tell you maybe you will learn something.

But there are two problems with going into Iraq that the UN did not agree with, prior to the lies from Powell.

1. You do not enter another country unless there is an imminent threat to neighbouring states. This was not the case

2. The other reason, demonstrated in the first Gulf war, was that internal security was threatened. Human rights was the reason. But there was no evidence that Saddam was going to kill or hurt his own people.

Megaman79, are you joking, or can you not read numbers??? The site that YOU just linked to puts the total at 86,661 - 94,557 civilian deaths, and many of those are most likely killed by terrorists or insurgents. You're only about 910,000 off, where are the rest of the 'Million' you stated??

 

Your right.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
