Kraft - that is last years list.
Crow - How is it that a death penalty in Saudi Arabia is wrong and a sign of dictatorship when we also have one? They have laws, they are well spelled out, everyone knows the punishment, justice is not strung out over decades and therefore they have one of the lowest murder rates in the world. Sounds like they may be doing something right on that avenue at least.
I enjoyed Farenheit too but lets not drink all the Kool-Aid. Our country has had very friendly relations with the Saudis since before Bush was born.

LOL @ let's don't drink all the kool-aid. 
At least one dem here can be honest and speak with open eyes.

dblfugger - On the size of the buffalo....a quick story.
When we first moved here I often mention how the cows here appeared much smaller to me than the ones raised on my Granddad's farm in IN. While mentioning it to my IN uncle...he said no wonder...they eat fescue (?). IN beef are corn fed.
And now that I see more and more buffalo herds here....I think they're the size of IN cows.  Not huge at all...at least the ones I've seen. But butt ugly for sure.

Thanks Fenix. I wonder how different this year's list will be?
Well so far, only Fenix has given assination as an alternative. Is that even feasible these days? Would the U.S. have been able to assinate Saddam?

Don't you think they tried? Maybe not the US per-say but someone. There were so many look alike SH that they didn't know which one he was. I think that was the problem.

Krafty - I think I packed somthing in mine - maybe someone else has still has theirs (came out Sunday). First and second were Sudan and North Korea, Saudi Arabia was 5, China was in there along with a couple other African nations. castro dropped off.
I think we probably could have taken out Saddam on Election day when he made his appearance and put a quick end to things. There would have been a number of opportunities over the past few years.

Anything is feasible for the right price. The US tried this with Bin Laden
Would the U.S. have been able to assinate Saddam?
I dont think the US would not have officially sponsorsed this. It would have been a hush hush covert operation.
Absolute faith has been shown, consistently, to breed intolerance. And intolerance, history teaches us, again and again, begets violence.

Bush will fix Social Security just like he has fixed Osama Bin Laden and Iraq. Bush can't be trusted to run this country and you want to trust him with your retirement?

If Saddam had been assassinated, who would have taken over? His second in command or one of his sons? IMO, it would have only gotten worse for the Iraqis, if that could be possible. We would still be going there....eventually.

Teri - I think that an assasination of Saddam would have given the people of Iraq the hope to stand up fight for change. At that point we could have volunterred to give them a hand or gone the back door route of funding/arming an overthrow.

Yes war is. This what we do. We kill people different then us, always have and always will, so get used to it.
Once we settle the Mideast, its time to look north, to Canada. Thats right Canada. We need to start by invading Quebec. We just don't need neighbors speaking a language other then Spanish or English.
Once we conquer them, the rest of Canada is ours. And we now need Canada. Thanks to Global warming, we will control the shipping channel through the Arctic Sea, not the Russians or Chinese. Also it no longer wont be near as cold in Alaska. So we can build more roads for the migrant workers, to Farm the suddenly unfrozen Tundra. Skiers need the Northern Rockies, and since the Liberals in Canada wont do anything about the Grizzly Bear population, once we take over, well you can guess the rest.
We also need to just ignore the whole Korean thing. Let the Japanese develop Nuclear weapons and take care of themselves. Whats the harm in this policy? I am sure they don't even remember World War 2 how we nuked them. I don't know about you, but when i got beat up by bullies in School, I forgot all about them, heck its been 40 years.
So yes War is the answer, and there will always be plenty of people different then us to go Kill, you know some things never change.

Come on crowfarm....I not "just someone" to you!! hahaha!!
I know all about history, but back then there was not this huge "global economy" or this immediate "global connection" that is much more prevalent in anyone's concerns as it is now.
edited to fix my spelling before the crow chews it apart.

"""or this immediate "global connection" that is much more prevalent in anyone's concerns as it is now. """
OK, you flunked history, grammar and spelling.....now I'll surely listen to your words of "wisdom".

crowfarm, just because YOU dont understand anything past a U.S.News World Report conflatulation of statistics and mumbo jumbo doesnt make what I said any less true.
And before you go over the edge on that word, here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/infanttyrone/25502.html
*Conflatulation- to fart in approval, or to make a noise with yer tookus that might denote approval (perhaps to end on a high note?) Usage- "At the conclusion of his speech, the collected panelists of the Chili and Beer Board gave Eric a rousing round of conflatulation."
So if I dont eggsactly have your approval, thats just A-ok'ers with me, spanky!

classic - I was born in Indianapolis. Most of my relatives lived [still live] in and around Fulton and Cass counties. I lived most of my life in either So. CA or No. CA for 9 months each year....and then 3 months each year in a tiny farming town called Grass Creek, where my Grandparents farmed.

"Your post was right below Kraft's, guess I'd better scan the threads a little more slowly."
Fenix started the ball rolling in favor of ""assination" with her typo on page 1. She said, " I think war is a rather expensive way to get rid of a leader. I prefer the good ole fashioned assination method. I would especially like to see it implemented in Sudan."
I'll vote for that method...

classic - Evansville, yes...one of the largest cities in Indiana and at the bottom of the state. Where my family is/was is almost at the Northern part of the state.
Speaking of 'famous' people from IN....David Letterman is another. Here's a list of some others. http://www.50states.com/bio/indiana.htm....but for some reason MY name was left off the list.
So you let a Hoosier girl get away, huh?

Hey Linda and Classic, I used to live in Indiana too. Dune Acres, Indiana. We lived atop a hill overlooking lake Michigan. Some of my oldest memories are of that house and the lake.
