No turnover in the last 8 years in a college town? Well, I hope they graduate soon.

Colonialism puts a whole new meaning into "doing well," doesn't it? Wendy P.

Another huge assistance for Brent, as I've previously posited, is that he quit assuming that wearing a green suit and having gone wherever he was sent by the US Army has given him a single iota of international exposure. I tend to hang with a lot of people from a lot of countries. Unlike the trivial, non-confrontational conversations that happen in the US, conversations with international people tend to be open, direct, and sometimes fearless of being offensive. Well except when Trump Americans are nearby.

Yes and no. I think the world would be a poorer place if we refused to help Britain during World War II.

I think the point is that, best intentions and good reasons notwithstanding, the usual result of American meddling is the trading of one shit show for another. I can't disagree.

So, the white man’s burden should go on? For the good of the ignorant natives?

No one has yet made the claim, best I can tell. Nigel was simply pondering about the ethics of the attack, a legitimate question I think. In my case if I firmly believed that making remote controlled bomblets out of 5000 pagers and handing them to bad guys who were blended into a civilian population for later detonation would be an effective first step to ending Hezbollah once and for all I suppose I'd think it was ethical maiming and that would include any bystanders. But I don't believe that's going to happen any time soon and I do believe it more likely that more terrorists will be the result. Honestly, I really don't know why it seems so smarmy to me to take out enemies by blinding them and blowing off their fingers when arguably that's better treatment than killing them outright, it just does.
