Saddam Hussein - "murderous despot" "tyrannical terror" "evil dictator". The USA & UK want to remove him from power, to free the people of Iraq and to stop his "demented regime".
Ok, whatever.
So why have Rumsfeld and Jack Straw come up with the idea of "immunity from prosecution should Saddam step down and leave".
Isn't the point of this whole thing to stop him, to prevent him ever being able to threaten world peace again?
Why let him go elsewhere then, with zero comeback?
"You're evil Hussein"
"No I'm not"
"Yes you are, we're going to stop you"
"No you're not"
"We will. You must be stopped"
"Why?"
"You're evil"
"So kill me"
"Alright....actually, you could just go somewhere else and we'll leave it at that"
"But I thought I was evil?"
"Yes but if you leave, we can install a pro-Western leader and use Iraq as a foothold into The Middle East"
"What, like you did with me before?"
"Yep"
"Hmm....nope"

Errm, well I don't actually dislike you. Hmm, that's a lie. OK, I don't dislike you most of the time, I just enjoy exchanging witty retorts with someone who can craft a reasonable answer. I don't have the patience to read anything huge or in-depth, so I have to resort to petty sqaubbling and name-calling I'm afraid. Fabulous way to pass the time until the next lecture.

Whatever. Personally, I don't see what's so outstanding about the name, anything short of "XBOXLUVVER2003" and you could have said that.
And for the more arrogant among you:

To be honest, it actually hurts that I would be accused of "fishing for GADS", so I have officially taken myself out of the running for any such competition. I have no interest in such folly.

Read my posts, or don't read my posts, I'm not altogether bothered. You can't dampen my spirit, I'm in far too good a mood this year.

That's why I write and do the other stuff I do.
Not through ego, but I genuinely get angry about the conduct of most of this species.
I post whatever's in my head, without any thought of "I'm so smart/cool/different". And if someone decides to read it and comment or look further then, to me, that's just as valid as becoming Prime Minister and shilling my soul.
I dont post anything to curry favour, I couldn't care less what a bunch of people think of me on an internet forum. I think something, I write it out to simply get it out - no masterplan at all.

The name gave it away anyway
Hehehe, you took the bait with such ease. Just a few words is all it takes to spark off your righteous indignation. Sorry, but I have to amuse myself somehow; what better than to do so at your expense?
Incidentally, I wasn't aware of anything your girlfriend said, someone just mentioned it and one glance at the post proved it to be true.

Yup. I tried reading the whole thing, but I was tired. I kept thinking though "this is so like IB".
This makes me better than you all. Ah ha ha!

*raises hand*
Can't say you haven't affected me. I personally vote in notables regarding how much they affect the way I think. I like to read more from them.
So there we are, you've got one person, happy? :0)
I'd keep on going and collecting respect, if I were you. But then, that's what I'm doing anyway.
So it goes for everyone.
I think I've just confused myself.
Ignore me, I 'slept' in an airport bus station last night. I should really go sleep.

Hobbo, you are so misled, it almost hurts to read your tirade.
I've stated my reasons. They are not lies. I have no reason to lie to any of you here. I need no games. I never asked for a GAD, and I don't want one now. A story like Half-Life won't win any awards because it is spread over too many posts (once it pans out) to ever get call for one.
I don't need silly incentives such as those to encourage me to write. I'm quite content to write simply for the pleasure of doing so.
And further to my point, can any of you honestly say you gave my other accounts posts a second glance until my girlfriend, in her infinite wisdom, informed you all that it was actually me?
Don't bother to lie, because I already know the answer.
But I don't care. Periodically, I'm going to still post bits of that story, and, I suspect, periodically, they will either be ignored, or picked on because it's me. Either way, I don't care. I get to put my story up without using paper or space on a harddrive.
Life for me is good.

Good on you - no sarcasm.
And yes, I'm in a foul mood because, as you've pointed out, there's nothing I can do but get angry. Because, as I've said and you've said, there's nothing anyone can do about anything.
But I'll continue to quietly go about my business and acting in whatever manner I can to highlight what I percieve as failings (not on this forum though, this is a place for mindless satire).
As for flailing mindlessly here, if I can get at least one person to see the world from a different viewpoint then that's enough for me.
Now I must go and send a bunch of letters and get righteous at my desk.

Oh shut up IB, you simply tried using another username because they've black-listed 'Insane Bartender' not to receive any more GADs. Utter balls that you tried it for an experiment.
I could do a massive long post like you squabbling ninnies at the importance of your own facile attempts to boost your self-esteem and writing prowess. But why bother, when I could be doing something worthwhile, like working.
