In only eleven years, the majority of the links that the posters provided no longer function.

So much for the idea of “If it’s on the Internet, it’s there forever.”

I recently came back to this site after a long break after a period when I couldn’t post comments from my Mac for some reason. What happened to post previews? And how do we do text effects now?

[quote]Wh44 said: “You accuse Iraqis of killing their own and blaming it on the U.S. military – many Iraqis argue exactly the other way around: that American black ops disguised as insurgents kill Iraqis. The logical claim being, that if Iraqis are busy fighting each other, they’re less likely to kill Americans. I would bet there are instances of both. “[/quote]
The US organize their own little black ops, to stoke the civil war in Iraq?
Let’s get this straight… They dispose of a megalomaniacal dictator who killed thousands of his own people, pave the way for a democratically elected government and then do this to destabilize that government? Why would they do that? Because it’s fun having to keep troops down there for prolonged periods?
