US forces arrest Saddam half-brother; Report: American forces to try grab Saddam if he hides in Syria. Barzan is... an adviser to the former regime leader with extensive knowledge of the regime's inner working. There were no friendly or enemy casualties. The capture demonstrates the coalition's commitment to relentlessly pursuing the scattered members of a fractured regime." Brooks said Barzan, who ran Iraqi intelligence service from 1979 to 1983 and was Iraq's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva from 1988 to 1997, was captured alone in Baghdad after a tip-off by Iraqis. albawaba.com

GZ, I'm sure you appreciate the fact that forums such as SI give us the opportunity to engage in discussions and exchange opposing points of view. There is much that someone can learn from simply getting a different perspective. Unfortunately, there are those who rather than present a counter argument, they resort to name calling and profanity. They can not support their point of view in a civilized manner so instead they respond with childish verbal abuse. This type of response often times leads to retaliation, making both sides look like idiots. Remaining silent and ignoring the abuser only seems to provoke the attacks and leads others to believe that the abuser is right. Please tell me how do you deal with a poster who resorts to calling you a Nazi, Pussy, WOP, DAGO etc just because your question him on his position? TY
