Marlowe...

Well, you really laid your cards on the table with that one. Don't cash in your chips yet, though.

Really....and what are you trying to say? That because I'm looking at world events with a critical eye that I'm somehow throwing my lot in with bin Ladin?

(I am refraining from flaming you to hell and back again for questioning my patriotism, in an attempt to act civilized.... I have to ask though...what would you do if I questioned your patriotism?)

Sidenote: bin ladin's 'win' depends on his goals. If he goal was to destroy the USA (as some people have suggested) then I agree, he's totally lost.

If his goal was to disrupt USA/Saudia Arabia relations (as I suspect it is)....then...I'll argue that he's winning considering recent events.

(Of course, comments like that mean I'm a commie mutant traitor unfit to serve the Computer unquestioningly.)

Depends on your definition of winning - (nking) - Jan. 30, 2002, 01:14:21 AM EST

Wrong measures - (gtall) - (15) - Jan. 29, 2002, 11:05:41 AM EST

'Consumption' - a pretty spot-on measure after all. - (Ashton) - (14) - Jan. 30, 2002, 06:11:08 AM EST

Depends on how you calculate waste - (gtall) - (6) - Jan. 30, 2002, 08:09:26 AM EST

Gosh marlowe, sometimes your rhetorical questions are just - (Ashton) - (5) - Jan. 30, 2002, 02:50:25 PM EST

Begging the question. Whence the power? - (marlowe) - (4) - Jan. 30, 2002, 04:47:49 PM EST

The more rapacious 'won', of course - (Ashton) - (3) - Jan. 30, 2002, 06:25:21 PM EST

Big problem with that theory. Conflicts with real world. - (marlowe) - (2) - Jan. 30, 2002, 07:02:59 PM EST

Any use of the word 'real' to bolster a stereotype - (Ashton) - (1) - Jan. 31, 2002, 01:43:53 PM EST

Methinks you're suffering from reality envy. -NT - (marlowe) - Jan. 31, 2002, 04:18:34 PM EST

Isn't this your third or fourth "why they hate us"link? - (Silverlock) - (2) - Jan. 29, 2002, 11:27:41 AM EST

Yeah, I'm going for a record. - (marlowe) - (1) - Jan. 30, 2002, 11:40:22 AM EST

No hate needed. I just calls 'em as I sees 'em -NT - (Silverlock) - Jan. 30, 2002, 11:42:54 AM EST

Envy theory, good answer. - (nking) - Jan. 30, 2002, 01:23:33 AM EST
