We're not going to appease your neocons, Hawk, doesn't matter how much you twist things backwards, it's just not on .... you're arguing well, problem may be lie in your premises, or something

Millions of cubanos support Castro as the Lesser Evil they know at present, and US imperialism has had far more to do with stimulating that support than have a few canuck tourists .... John L O'Sullivan was not a canuck, nor was Platt, and that is not canuck military occupying today by force of arms el territorio cubano at Guantánamo, ahem

Cuba for the cubano, Hawk - there's a premise for ya ... adaptable, you can make it Iraq for the iraqui with little effort, Nicaragua for the nicaragüense, like that .... given the will

Bottom line, it's all about who decides this inter-national stuff, and under what principles ... Iraq alone is not that big a deal, or Cuba by itself, or the individual schools and clinics and campesinos destroyed by your Reagans ... these are all just items on a list of those effected by decisions

We need a parliament of nations, one that works better for us .... that's the only point i've ever tried to make here, all else was just detail in support of it ... personally i would not vote for Chrétien as my representative to it, Jorge Castañeda yes, got to respect a man who can give the finger to Rumsfeld and Fidel both ... you could do a lot better than vote for any of your PNAC bunch, too arrogant, they'll be laughed out of the loop, but it's your call old chap

Your 'combined weight' paragraph is an attempt to rob my argument, that cooperation between democracies could help us fix these things with less destruction and thus less harsh consequences .... trouble is your neocons don't like cooperation, as demonstrated by their yer with us or agin us line .... perhaps they suspect that it could impede to some extent their brutalisation of centroamericanos the next time their Norths and Abramses want some sport there .... and who knows, it could eh ..... well, lovely day here, back to the garden .... cheers
