Like I always said, The problems in Zimbabwe would never have gotten so dire if they had even a morsel of oil, as without oil America is not interested in helping.
Who is America interested in helping?
Gaius, I think "helping" is meant facetiously in this case. While I agree with the general tenor, I think people tend to go overboard in their jaded outlook. Yes, the support of "U.S. interests" (Mult-national Corporations' interest) must be at the heart of foreign policy. It doesn't mean rice is not delivered or that the people (Americans) working for US aid are not acting in good faith and taxpayers don't wish to see their money go to food rather than bombs.
How do you want the U.S. to help Zimbabwe, Solo? Shall we invade and kill hundreds of thousands Zimbabwe citizens? The UN (some believe to be an arm of the US) hasn't managed to do much. The pressure from other nations to get Tsvangirai in the government is probably all that could be done. But the U.S. has to solve everything, immediately, from problems going back hundreds of years.
Conservatives and the onlooking world forget that there are evil despots all over the world. It is not possible for Americans to remove them all so the next despots (or despots friendly to the U.S.) can take power. I wish our country would just take a giant step back, but that's not going to happen. Our taxes, military, and politicians are at the service of the multi-national corporations.
(Sorry for all the "double-negative" phrases. Probably confusing for non-English speakers)

Unfortunately "irredentorial" is probably not a word in most languages - except perhaps in some non-standard Spanish - BUT it should mean something like "unredeeming" or better "irredeemable" if it were... do you mean this - something like 'not able to be saved, recovered or changed by any effort or sacrifice' ?

The problem with you Stinkie, is that when people like myself point you to evidence, you immediately refute it.
Thats generally what happens when the evidence doesnt support the claim.

I am starting to grow increasingly tired of that "either you get it, or you're blind and to be pitied" undercurrent of both your and Coen's posts.
The problem with you Stinkie, is that when people like myself point you to evidence, you immediately refute it. Hence people like myself don't feel like educating you since basically you're either ignorant or stupid. Now I know you're not stupid, so I'll just stick to the former.

Don't step on Stinkie's professional toes. The Copywriter in him knows what he's doing.Very amusing (mal)conversation I must say

Erg kinderachtig hoor, prive berichten delen op het open forum. Bovendien is het tegen de regels.
translates as: "Very childish to share PM messages publically. What is more, it is against forum rules"
Oh, put a sock in it, Coen!
This is the second person you threat to throw off the board (sort of) for no real reason. -

Calling me ignorant to get back at me isn't proper conduct either, now is it? And I don't give a hoot about your rules either. Ban me if you like.

Holy sh*t guys, play nice! I'm certainly not taking sides, but IMO posting PM contents is extremely discourteous, regardless of whether it's against the rules or not.
-
It is discourteous, yes. And I was just asked to remove my posts. I refused.
Why? Because I will not be insulted by Coen. If he fucks with me, I fuck with him. The gloves are off, and they're not going back on.
-
Oh no, now someone used the F-word.
Ban him, ban him (please not) -
