Since this is about the media over Iraq...
Did you hear about the NBC (MSNBC AND The other NBC owned network) reporter who did an interview for the Iraqi's? He devulged military tactics...
The government should seriously consider charging him for treason. (IMHO) |

What could there be to divulge about US military tactics? Perhaps the use of tactics and specific locations, but general tactics aren't a gigantic secret. I would think Iraqi commanders would have at least a rudimentary knowledge of their opponents.

There are no laws, no chains, no threat of death nor of harm to keep you or anyone from leaving this land. You are free to go and come as you will.

I've lived in other states and been to other countries - I'll stay in America and New Jersey - thank you.
Remeber - the grass is always greener on the OTHER side (until you get there and see all it's weeds up close too). As for leaving - as Ruinel said - people are free to go. Not so like in China, North Korea (where they even get jailed for running away to China) the old Soviet Union. It is really disturbing how bad North Korea must be if people are risking their lives to run to China.

I just don't like the idea of boycotting to gain support. If they don't want to support us then there is no problem with that. The type of boycotting LT is talking about strikes me as just plain bullying. If you are going to boycott something do it for a better reason than trying to force your opinion on another nation, whose opinions matter as equally as yours.

I think people can speak with their money. If they do not like what a country does, they can boycot the products from that country. Someone pointed out about the products manufactured at sweat shops, and I boycot those products.

However, I would be HIGHLY upset if my own government called a boycott against France and made French products illegal in the U.S., as Cuban products are now. *sips her French wine and nibbles on her French cheese and bagette* ![]() And thank you for the "the US is not a 'pit'" statement. ![]() ![]() |

So in this case Americans would be offended because France and Germany don't agree with them. Well no matter who you are there will always be a difference in opinion so we should just deal with it as is, boycotting is nothing but bullying in this instance. It wouldn't even be similar to the instance of boycotting in Cuba. Where America chose not to support the regime of Castro because they felt that his policies towards his own people were horrible. This is boycotting because not everyone is bending over like the US wants them to. I find that disgusting.

What makes you think I wouldn't rise up in outrage? Boycotting with the sole intent of changing opinion by economic force is wrong in my eyes. Though it can be easily overlooked because the US can just shrug off a boycott of goods like it was nothing more than a mosquito bite. If we boycotted France it would be justified, but not solely for the reason that they have different opinions. But after all they have been boycotting us for years. Mostly I am referring to the specific lines in LT's first post, Quote:

It was on the news about how France is now having "how to be nice to American" classes and they've come here to show tourist companies that France really does love Americans. France has lost 25% in tourism dollars because Americans have stopped going and they're hurting (which is a larger drop off in American tourism than other European countries). They even have signs around Paris reminding people to smile. So maybe something good will come out of the boycotts for them and teach them how to be nice - instead of a$$holes all the time.
