Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

Ok, in a change of topic, lest go to Afghanistan.
What's going on over there?
There's a very interesting documentary on UK tv tomorrow I'm hoping to catch, called "Afghanistan: Here's one we invaded earlier." The trailers mention the heroin industry (on the way back up apparently) and the fact that the regional warlords appear to be taking control. I have little else to contribute to the discussion right now, maybe after the weekend=-)

As for the "creating the internet." I wouldn't necessarily call it a lie becasue it is so blatantly untrue and such an incredibly stupid thing to say. The word "create" means "to make something that didn't exist before". There is no other officially recognised meaning, and I find it hard to believe anyone is even trying to argue otherwise.

If he actually did mean to say that he contributed to the growth of the internet, then he is simply inarticulate.

And no, I'm not banging any particular "party line". As I've stated before I have only a very limited interest in and knowledge of US politics.
