yeah this is the part that scares me...someone w/no international experience making these decisions ok- lets maket his easier, why not quit running this country on oil. the advantages are endless!

read the article, but thanks it was a good one but it still left me questioning. i never presumed we'd be attempting to keep the oil. there are economic benefits beyond actually "owning"the oil. A friendlier regime would suffice. We had no problem working and instilling sadam as the leader of Iraq when he suited us. The question is much simpler....why Iraq instead of anyone of a number of countries led by dictators?

as a nation, why do we feel the need to "liberate" Iraq? There are countless other countries being ruled by dictators...why Iraq? I desperately want to believe that there is a more altruistic reason than oil and economics. It just doesn't add up though.

hey be nice! crosswords are fun and educational too (or at least that's what i told myself)

it's been a while but i think there's some mixed routes and a few bolted routes near bumbly tower. too much fun comes to mind for an easier go. bloody fingers and a 60m rope are good advice too

it'd be so much easier to plan good climbing trips if i had a 3 day w/e every week.

What!!! No Chianti or Merlot? You barbarian! i knew i couldn't trust trask not screw the recipe up! bitch, next time give it to me when you're not digging your nails into my back then leave when you're asked

What!!! No Chianti or Merlot? You barbarian! i knew i couldn't trust trask not screw the recipe up!

you are not wise b/c you asked the question, no matter how interesting that might be. yes it is almost o'clock

nahhh...he said it was interesting to do so (implying ask a WOMAN her age) but maybe i'm not

so you're saying that you're not very wise?

eesh you weren't that far off to begin with! don't you know you should never ask a lady her age (a tribute to the good old days) i proudly claim geezer status. There are those at cc.com who know but i'm not tellin!

exactly!

close enough

just how old are you anyway you'll have to guess first. i'm curious.

so we're getting bombed for peace? i'm in! The way today is going i may start now

whatever trask, whatever

hey greg, what happens after Saddam's out? There is the possibility that if we don't stick around and foist ourselves on the iraqi people, whoever comes next could likely be worse than Saddam. Quite a quandry eh?

yes of course it is, right up there with mardis gras and halloween in it's cultural significance in this country. It's very important to have a reason to drink. Wouldn't want to knock back a couple just cuz

what is a personal pitcher?

yeah but that was the good old days

yeah , and?

yeah i just hate it when the other kids don't agree with us. you guys crack me up. this country is all about everyone being entitled to their own opinion. Yet when another nation disagrees w/us you get your knickers in a knot.

St. Patricks Day is just a budweiser holiday. Same thing as Secrataries Day and Grandparents...hallmark holidays. Glad it's over.

no that's a drawing he made of me last time i was there. aren't i lovely?
