That sucks for the bystanders.
Seems to me that there's a certain truth in politically motivated violence in the Middle East and elsewhere that's a bit more respectable than American politics. Then again, festering boils on a donkey's anus are more respectable than American politics.

It'd be refreshing to see democrat special ninja hit squads take out republican convention centers with truck bombs and flamethrowers, yes.
A clear message to the public, anyway. :icon14:

Scandinavians are rabid pacifists, but I agree.

Yet, the Swedish government is removing the ban on selling weapons to countries currently engaged in war. Profit > peace.

Also the Danish are bordering on the scary in their blind crazy nationalist pride and the Fins were never pacifists.

Yes, and it killed former Prime Minister Harriri (or whatever his name is).

Quote:
"It's a scene of great carnage," Robert Fisk, correspondent for London's Independent newspaper, told CNN. (Full story)

"I saw several bodies on fire inside cars. I climbed inside the crater that was at least 15 feet deep, so this was a huge bomb. At least 22 cars were on fire -- one of them was blown three floors up into the annex of an unopened hotel.



shite :(
