It will cost a lot human sacrifice and human lives ? So be it! Some were politicians must get it or pay the consequence" haim's words speak for themselves, and require no interpretation and cannot stand up to spin. by that paragraph not is not retracted, how is haim different from hitler? (iii) search and replace "china" with ... oh ... i dunno ... any country of my choosing (iv) switch concept "If ________ would not take the appropriate steps to lift the standard of living of their own population on their own expense" with concept of my choosing, and (v) see how folks on si will take your meaning, whether it is about the leadership or what the current killings in iraq and afghanistan and georgia and s-ossetia and ... are all done on the basis of preemptive strike against someone over something that is supposedly their leaders fault, no? (vi) try this to start, name the faults of usa, zimbabwe, uk, n.korea, france, iran, china, israel, russia, venezuela, canada start 11 posts per above stipulated test, and see how you are taken yes? p.s. i advise you against doing the test of concept p.p.s. china's fault per haim's paragraph is that she is working diligently, saving, educating, investing, minding own business, and serving customers who wish to buy should the buyers in the aggregate wish to stop buying, they can do so, and i doubt nuclear war genocide is appropriate what do you think?
