George Bush has done just the same:
- Disrespect of US public opinion, since elections to recent events.
- Buildup and hiding of weapons we do not suspect.

Now some are trying to kill him, some may try one day to put him on trial.

I don't think we can compare USA having weapons and Saddam having weapons. Of course both have shown they can agress other countries without having been attacked. BUT the USA respect population in a completely different way, and they have real elections (despite all we can say, Bush has been elected and if its opposition would have been stronger he would have lost. This is not the case for Saddam). All countries have weapons, and Saddam has shown he is able to use chemical weapons against civilians. Would he have nuclear or biological weapons, he would uses these for sure. I can completely disagree with the way this war was started, but one cannot compare Bush with Saddam, neither can we compare Saddam or Bush with Hitler.

Bush is more Napoleonian and the real weapons are not the bombs. But this could be another thread.

The real treat is not Iraq, it's the level of hate and frustration we are building in a growing part of the population of the world.

Do you remember the troubles in LA a few years ago when a some policemen were misbehaving ? Imagine that at the world's level.

AFP/Reuters indicate three US planes have already crashed. An American soldier has thrown a grenade on his own tent, wounding 13. More to come.

So are you saying the Iraqi military is so incompetent we have to kill ourselves to make them feel better? ;)

I don't know if you know about this in France, but about 160 years ago, a Tippecanoe leader named Tecumseh placed a curse on the presidency. He said that any president elected in a year ending in 0 will die in office. Thus far, the only president to escape this curse was Reagan, and he was still shot. Bush will have to watch out if he wants to live through his presidency; his life has had attempts, and he could be in danger if this curse decides to take revenge for Reagan's living through his presidency.
...peacier (does that exist ?)...

No. I think you mean "more peaceful."
 
"More peaceful". Yes, this sounds more correct. Thank you :)

There is no curse against French Presidents. They don't need a curse, they've got Prime Ministers instead :D

Well, President must elected_first to apply to curse :D :D :rolleyes:
 
Good one Toast! :) So does that mean that Al Gore is going to die while in office (so to speak) at Apple?!?!
 
Or, does it mean that Apple is destined to take over the US govt?

arden, tell us more about Tecumseh and his prophecy.
 
You mean Apple would take over the US govt just to fulfill a curse so that Al Gore could die? That's strange, n't it?
