The fundamental divide between British Democracy and Unacceptable American Democracy vocalised by Lo Erewhon 04/01/06


    Perhaps the sharpest comment Rice heard came from former Foreign Secretary Lord Douglas Hurd CBE of Westwell., a Conservative Party stalwart (a Tory grandee!) who served under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and was among a panel of experts who heard Rice's speech on the need to encourage democracy around the world.

    "It is quite possible to believe" that democracy is essential, Hurd said to the crowd after she spoke, but also to "believe that essentially the path must grow from the roots of its own society and that the killing of thousands of people, many of them innocent, is unacceptable whether committed by a domestic tyrant or for a good cause upon being invaded."

      Maybe you should give it to someone else who actually knows how to use it.

      Your inner nature revealed!

      And what would that "inner nature" be?

      Face it, Ronnie, you are just wrong on these issues. You refuse to accept facts that are well documented, though under-reported by the MSM. You've made up your mind, and refuse to be confused by the facts, no matter how clearly those facts are laid out before you.

      There's an old quote that seems to apply to your attack-dog mentality regarding Bush:

      "I just washed my brain, and I can't do a thing with it."

      You degrade debate.

      Clarification/Follow-up by ETWolverine on 04/04/06 7:27 pm:
      No I don't. I'm still waiting for a debate to start. A debate is an exchange of ideas and facts. I haven't seen any ideas or facts from you except for trying to find newer and better ways to attack Bush. Not once have you been able to debate me on the merits of the facts, only your perception that we are failing in Iraq... with no facts to back it up. You post articles written by other people, which is fine and good, but those articles don't provide facts either, only opinions that are alarmingly devoid of actual facts and data.

      There's no debate taking place here. There is you attacking every ideal that Bush puts forward because you don't like it (or him... I haven't determined your real motivation yet), and there is me defending those ideals through statistical data, historical fact and the laws of economics.

      Let me know when the debate starts, and I'll be happy to debate you.

      Elliot
