echnida,
Sorry brother but history has shown my statement to be true.

Hitler and his use of the V2 rocket. Surely a weapon of mass destruction of its time. Not to mention his use of the gas chamber which defines "weapon of mass destruction".

Saddam himself was very close to completing his "big gun" in the early 90's. But, the UK stopped him. The big gun was very capable of launching a WMD into neighboring countries.

These are but 2 examples off the top of my head.

Now, I don't know where you're from, or your age, but I'm old enough to know better than to get into a pissing contest with you about your beliefs and obvious hatred of the US.

That being said, reply all you want. I won't be reading this thread anymore as I've already wasted 10 minutes of my life that I won't ever get back.

p.s.

i will grant that the USA is unlikely to use nukes agaisnt the USA and that as such the US posession of WMD is less of a risk to the USA than other nations holding

huh?

I think he said the USA won't nuke itself.

That would be somewhat counterproductive, yes, but still-many here have NOT mastered the obvious. B)

Although, technically it has nuked itself. Sure, they were just tests...but it can count. Sort of.

Sometimes, I'm my own worst enemy. I'm glad I don't have WMD!

I think that is not fair what US does. They are making the life of may ppl ugly, they also have destroy historicals monuments in Irak. Even if they are right about the posiblility of Saddam attacking them this is not the way.

One day i thought we have evolved enough to don't kill ppl just for *political reasons*, but now i see that the power is in hands on dumb ppl.

Believe me at this side of the world almost no one support US activities.

aparently harrycary won't read this but,
the USA is the only nation still using gas chambers for execution and has more ballistic missile capability than any other nation

so if V2 rockets and gas chambers are WMD then
the USA is the granddaddy of the former and a state by state cottage industry preservation of the later

who taught harrycary history?

I though I wouldn't be back, but Rocko...brother...you shouldn't knock the US that quickly.
Don't bite the hand the feeds you my [obvious]young friend.

As stated in this document, the United States has given $244 billion+ in aid between 1962 and 1994 to other countries. In 1996 alone we gave $12 billion+ in aid to other countries.(Latin America alone rec'd $589 million, of which Peru got the 2nd largest chunk, $91 million)
This is not to mention the military aid we have given your country(Peru). This totaled in excess of $423 million between 1996 and 2001.

I'm not trying to justify anything. I'm just pointing out the fact that for all of our bad points, we do our fair share of good for this entire planet.

Frankly, [our]democracy rules! And judging by the amount of aid we give everyone else, that just proves it. So enjoy whatever you've got down there in South America because you do owe it to the United States.

Damn! Another 10 minutes of my life I won't get back.

p.s. echidna, the US use of the gas chamber? Apples and oranges my friend. Don't confuse a penalty for murder with the topic at hand.
