Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "So, what's going on in Liberia is by definition not a war, since non-governmental rebels are doing the fighting? it's just one big crime?"

No, that's a war. A "civil" war. Just like the one we started in Iraq (but can't finish according to your buddies over at Debka).

Take another look at the rebels. They control territory. They have a chain of command. They have a leader. They are a government.

Re: "Hey Carl, don't you talk a lot about "guerilla war" and predict that the US must always lose a "guerilla war"? But now you say that guerillas can't make war, by definition! Get your story straight, will you?"

The US doesn't always lose guerilla wars. We won in Korea. We won in the Phillipines. We won in Cuba. We won against the Indians.

But you wouldn't know much about that. All you care about is your precious Israel.

And your biggest care is that the US be around to allow you to continue to terrorize the Palestinians.

Well now you've got the US involved, and one of two things is going to happen. We're either going to disassociate ourselves in disgust from the whole middle east (leaving you to twist in the wind, with no G_d to save you), or we're going to come in and insist that it be done the American Way -- with complete human rights for all, even those cockroaches you hate so deeply. And they will outbreed you.
