Why wouldn't they. They'll probably find anything else they say is there, if somebody wants to press the issue.

Does the current American sabre rattling with respect to Iraq remind anyone of the little Nazi board meetings William Shirer detailed in his book about the Third Reich? That might be a coincidence worth pursuing.

I don't think a little sabre rattling is a bad thing - as long as it stays that way.
If we could convince an opponent that our horns are bigger and better than theirs, maybe like good animals do, they'd back off thus avoiding all that killing and maiming.

i haven't read the book to make the comparison - but I'll try and get hold of a copy , thanks

If the purpose of convincing anyone about our horns is to merely to defend our territory, that's one thing, but if it's to interfer in the affairs of others in their own territory, well, that's quite a different matter, isn't it?

I think they are comparing more than horn size and if you throw in the Freudian/Bush "I'm bigger/better than my daddy" thing we have enough grist for an entire issue of "Psychology Today". They are all little boys in the schoolyard even without their greed for oil revenue.

Oh I get it now. We toss up a bunch of words, some horribly misshapen, and when they come back down in an apparently random fashion, we pretend that something meaningful was said even though nobody, including the sayer, knows what it is. I can see now how one wouldn't be hassled in the least by that.

Who gave the monkeys word processors?
Last time I saw them they were more than happy with the typewriters.

Shades of 2001?
