The contemptuous criticism that you level at the counterveiling forces to those individuals infers an affinity for their plight and their system as the bully to your south pushes them around with their might arsenal. Oh the anxiety you must be experiencing with such a mighty brute in close proximity to you. The tranquility of those quixotic countries are only a plane ticket away. In fact now that Mr. Reed is incarcerated by the belligerent west, there must be a vacancy in one of those lovely camps in your euroasian wonderland.

I never actually heard you extol the virtues of the dictator set that was mentioned you mooned about, Sadaam, Ubcle Ho etc.. but knowing your worst tendencies to unpopular opinion, or perhaps fearing these, I feel sure that at least you secretly admire them. To continue the piling on of one so clearly unprincipled, let me point out that when you used the phrase you and them you may have committed a serious grammatical error. The pronous are not actually the object of a preposition for but subject of a phrase that completes the thought, starting with the verb to be, which is in the copula form in two infinitive parts. So the actual sentence with all the understood but omitted parts is: [How timely {it is} for you and they{(to be) ... in this situation!]} (( ... or whatever completion is appropriate)). Here we clearly see by the method of completion that the two pronouns are not objects, but subjects. It is so common for people in society to object to being objects that I thought that it were important to clear this up. EC<:-}
