The bigger picture says that showing compassion has been remarkably ineffective with our enemies in the Middle East. We turn the other cheek, like Jesus did, and we get killed for it. Reagan's mantra was right - peace through strength. Yeah constantly propping up brutal dictators is turning the other cheek and butchering Latin peasants is strength - in the mind of a fucking idiot. You must have thought you were responding to a different thread Errico hahaha Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Let me ask you some questions Dream? I also respectfully ask that you do not duck the questions..... Are you 100% flawless in your career? Have you ever served your country in the military? Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

You talk about double standards, yet where is the correlation when comparing a incident by misinformation vs. blood drunk motive?? Did you know that Obama has also called the release of Lockerbie a bad decision? It would appear that you and the president do not share the same view on the release that took place.

Hey brother..... how many times did Obama talk about cutting spending and lowering the deficit??? Just food for thought because unless you have slept thru the first 7 months of this administration, we are packing on the pounds to the deficit clock. People are tired of being lied to from Obama and his cronies! Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

That is a bad ass video!!!!!! I love those planes Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Good point..... It would be like you painting your personal car like Dale Earnhardt's GM Goodwrench stock car. (Come to think about it..... they do that here in the south anyway) I just got a picture in my head of a Eanhardt #3 rig... hahaha HeeHaw!!!! How about flaming Jeff Gordon rig?

That is such a loaded question. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Convicted sex offender Ralph Goodwin will not wear a GPS tracking device after a court ruled sex offenders convicted before 2006 cannot automatically be forced to wear them. What the f**k is the difference about when the hell you were convicted???? What makes 2006 such a magical nubmer???? All you f**king civil liberty Coos better pay close attention to this crap. How about the children's saftey across America!!!! www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,541580,00.html Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

I never said they did...... what are you referring to? Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

What interests were served by shooting down that passenger plane? I can see some rational for the notion that KAL007 could have been acting as a spy plane, but I don't see the upside for this shooting. (And the Russians certainly didn't benefit from their action either) When everyone is in a fighting stance, mistakes get made and they are deadly mistakes. First time I agree with Kelp.... that was my point. Mistakes are unintentional. Here are some editorial pictures below from the AP.

murder is murder. (was lockerbie really a surprise after this iranian airliner had been shot down) No No No..... Unintentional versus premeditated. That's like saying abortion and the death sentence are the same. Killing innocent babies versus a process of adjudication from a jury of peers for a crime against society are different. If you can't grasp that, then it's okay...... I just want to know. Worst. Analogy. Ever. No, it was dead on Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

""I agree that this was the right thing to do. Especially as there are some major question marks over his guilt."" The evidence presented was undeniable during the 2002 appeal hearing. How can you sa that? ""Keeping him in prison would have only been vengeance not justice."" Justice for sure but I like your next remark..... ""It would also have cost the British tax payer a fortune as he gets progressively more ill. Why should the British tax payer have to foot the bill for his medical care and confinement, once he goes into hospital he would take a bed that a British person could have and would required a prison officer to be handcuffed to him 24 hours a day until he died, this would typically keep six prison officers away from their prisons and due to the nature of the crime for which he was found guilty he would almost certainly also require 24 hour armed police protection/guard again costing a fortune and diverting police resources."" This is where the death penalty for such crimes against society are cost effective. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

I'm just waiting for all the pro Lockerbie peeps to start chanting ALLAH, AKBAR.... ALLAH AKBAR! Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

someone gave the order to launch a missle against an incoming fighter. That identification was wrong and a tragic mistake, but the order wasn't given to launch against a passenger plane (which is what you implied). If you don't slow down the velocity of Prof. Kallend's spin, he will begin to look like the tasmanian devil. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

How elementary are we going to be? The bomber had motive for innocent blood; it was premeditated you know it. Are you saying that we shot down a plane in the name of God? C'mon professor, you know the difference. Stop the spin. At least if you are going to get revenge against another country for a mistake, have the f**king balls to attack the US military since we fired the missle. Dont be a pussy and take out civilians. That's being a punk!!! Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

You wouldn't be saying that if it was your family member killed aboard that plane. I have an idea..... Don't bomb planes and you won't rot in prison until you die. There's an idea. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Why? Why should anyone take it "easy" on people that spread false rumors? If people don't want to be embarrassed, they should check these things out before posting them. Okay you're right....... let's cut his jugular!!! Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

your post should say "Why not give it to China so we don't have to pay interest on it?" Funny you bring that up...... How does a country repay a debt when they do not have the ability to repay in currency??? Ever think about how the United States acquired the state of Florida from Spain?? $1,000,000.00 is what Spain owed us and gave us Florida in lieu of repaying the debt since they had no other means to satisfy.

HAHAHA..... I just realized that article was from David Leonhardt. The same David Leonhardt that resigned the Washington Post after receiving pressure from his superiors for writing columns with significant misinformation. Go figure the NYT picked up Leonhardt to write about economics. They would hire just about anyone who would praise "BARRACK AKBAR..... OBAMA AKBAR" Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

What do you think happens when you print money out of thin air? 20 weeks of campaign talk about "Bush spent like a drunk sailor" and now Obama is doing the same thing but in greater quantity...... My grandchildren shouldn't have their futures mortgaged simply because Obama thinks he has Marshal Law. Get real. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
