Why don't you go fight in the front lines in Iraq if that's something you believe in? Nothing like warhawks who are actually chickenhawks when it comes to participating themselves. Iraq probably was better off under Saddam Hussein than the gong show it is today. 

Countries like Russia and North Korea are more bluster than substance, they talk a big game, but the US and their allies can cripple them overnight if they really wanted to. Look at the Russian rouble and the state of their economy now. 

Please reads all my posts or at least know me better before coming fumming at me.

If I wanted to wage war on someone I would be there, not pressing buttoms. What I'm criticizing is Obozo big mouth, of calling Sony on something he doesn't do.

And if for you a war that you lose less soldiers than you kill civilians is right, then I'm sorry, I disagree... Iraq was totaly unecessary.

If you don't know I'm brazilian, and our country is a chicken on war, we avoid it at all costs... WW1 and 2 we just participated because of pressure from USA or Europe. We don't really bother with going at other countries, so I don't know how could I be on USA ranks to invade Iraq... but sure if Brazil was to be invaded Brazil I would probably pick on arms to defend it (even tough I don't think the government deserves any defense, and I want to move to USA).

Are you an alt by the way?

I think Sony was wavering on releasing this all along, getting movie chains to back kind of gave them an easy out. I don't really buy that every movie theater refused as well. There are plenty of independant theaters that still are saying they would show the movie, why not let them play it? Why is Paramount also backing off from letting other theaters that want to play Team America?

The problem is this sends a message to other countries like China and Russia and Iran that you can "win" on cyberterrorism, so while Sony and the movie theater chains may have saved their hides for now, they are setting a very dangerous precedent for everyone else. 

But I don't think the President really "chastized" them, I think he actually had a good press conference that put North Korea in their place pretty good. What does it say about them that they are scared of a Seth Rogan movie (which drew laughter). 

Well I won't entertrain supposition... but it's possible that sony was already wavering.

That is why Obozo should sided Sony and said that they wouldn't tolerate any threat to it's population over freedom of speech and would retaliate if such threats came to fruition... it isn't a company's obligation to send a message on this case, but a country leader... but when he avoids NK and Russia for decades he have no moral ground for it. He have only attacked easy to get places with pretty unilateral warfare, actually he is the coward one when bullying fly countries but then avoiding real conflict.

He was really agaisnt sony in part of his speech. Don't even see like he reviewed his speech. He didn't put NK anywhere... he just said their leader is a Bozo and deserves to be made fun, not how far he would go to defend his country freedom of speech. But yes it is ridiculous how much offense they took over it.
