Worry about the attacks in Mumbai?

IMHO - With out the beer it is not even worth arguing about. :)

We may be wise to leave the relief efforts to the U.N., but the U.N. doesn't have the means to remove the economic incentive from Somolian-Islamist piracy.

I find the term "Somolian-Islamist piracy" interesting. Why the "Islamist" reference? I thought the piracy issue is a "green" issue. They want green money.

We were talking about that the big super-tanker issue over lunch. I understand that the matter has not been settled. Could it be as simple as the insurer's not willing to cough up the cash? Would that be a dis-incentive to piracy. . . lack of profitability?

Sure it is. It is a good healthy debate on American foreign policy. Something that I am sure everyone has an interest in. Like it or not it affects our lives. We have seen that in spades in our lifetime. As you can probably tell the opinions vary to both extremes. The one thing we can all agree on is that we live in a country where we are free to discuss such opinions on a wide open forum. God Bless America.

That super tanker was owned by a Saudi company. I read today where the pirates released it and its crew without ransom having been paid.

These pirates happen to be islamists, supporting the rebels who are battling to reinstitute rule by the council of Islamic Judges. Whether they are islamists, animists, or practice voodoo, they deserve to be treated as pirate, and hung once captured. The fact that they support the islamic insurgency is...interesting.

Perhaps the vicious circle needs to end at some point? I dont think we ever left anyone alone in that region for a very long time. Seems to me occupying that area for the years up to 911 didnt seem to help much.

I think I agree with Bill on this one. I believe they just want us out of their neighboorhood so they can conduct life as they have for way more years than our government even existed.

I also agree with the Obama thinking. Have them over for a chat....and puff a blunt

No blunts...peace pipe, please. Blunts give me a headache. :wow:
 
Okay, try this one:wow::

Bring all the troops home. Invade Canada, and kick out all of the Frenchies. The western Canadians are ok, though. Then invade Mexico and kick out all the Spanish speakers. Now we have all the natural resources we need. Then send a note to the rest of the world:

"We have everything we need. You wanted us out...We're out. Don't F with us or we will Nuke you. Don't F with Isreal or we will Nuke you. If anyone cooks off a Nuke ANYWHERE, we will Nuke everybody. We're done putting our best and brightest into harm for you, you ungrateful bastards"

Oh, anyone in Canada or Mexico who owns a Sea Ray can stay.

I will readily admit that most alcohol besides beer or ice cold vodka, and sometimes Jaeger gets me pretty sick, very easily. Too many shots of rum, scotch, bourbon, or really any liquor and Ill be barfing soon thereafter :smt009

I can easily drink endless Guiness and not feel a thing.
 
See. . . this is why I don't drink beer. Too fattening.

It takes 4-6 beers to do the job. Not only is it way too many calories, but by the time I finish number four. . .. the first might be wearing off.

This is why I drink whisky. Only takes two to get me where I need to be :)
