No, i put out a call for people of ilk - #Subject-54355 - but few have responded ... 'bookmarks: 1', lol, that'll be me ... too bad only you and i here know of the old ovis/rmil pugs/riley ilk/elk thing, parallels could certainly be drawn, it had partisanship, whackismo, struggle and humour to spare .... partisans changed sides mid-story too, seems ilkicity is not fixed in stone 'Are you saying that his underlings destroyed all the weapons, but attempted to deceive Saddam into believing that they hadn't?' No, more that one of the minor factors involved was that underlings may have been unable to do all they were ordered to do, and were let's say 'diplomatic' in reporting that failure .... but i just yawn at all this WMD bla bla bla, the invasion was marketed on that basis sure, but it's executed now, here we are witnessing the occupation and the question remains, Who Decides 'if the law generated by the UN is not upheld and enforced, the law of the jungle will pre-dominate' You don't wanna rule the world Hawk, trust me, the cost is high .... what happens when power is centralised in few hands is, that centre becomes a target, the more so as it corrupts itself with increasing power .... another empire contestant comes along and challenges it ... with Mqurice's ancestors and some of my english side, it was the Kaiser and a few deluded germans thinking it would be great fun to be imperialists, get that satisfying feeling of smugness and make a few bucks at it for a while, so there they went, up and spent the flower of their nation and that of many others including their object of envy ..... with you it will be China, what are you going to do with them yanqui dood, when they say hey now we've got a big hammer and We'll Decide ..... wouldn't it be even slightly better to have worried just a little about a functioning parliament of nations, instead of entirely on some raghead burying old mustard gas artillery shells in the desert, when that time comes?
