streets and ululate [to celebrate terrorist attacks].

Ooooh! A flounce!
>Your argument above is not against terrorists
It is not an argument. It was a statement. The statement was that this forum
has apologists for terrorist supporters and their ilk, some of whom dance in
the streets and ululate [to celebrate terrorist attacks]. Now go off and
learn how to spot an argument.
> - it is against people who are apologists for those speaking in favour of
terrorism (Palestinian terror supporters and their ilk). Unless you wish to
argue that >freedom of speech should be limited, this argument fails.
You are hopelessly confused. There was no argument. Beat that Straw Man,
Hermit, beat him good!
>So far you have provided nothing in support of such an argument.
Thwack! The straw man takes another huge blow.
>Your phrasing is such that you condemn a nation on the grounds that they
are supporters of terrorists, and then imply that apologists for them are
also supporters >of terrorists.
Pow! The Straw man is suffering now.

So you think I write badly? Damn. Me was finking that I is getting gooder.
This blo is like a steak through the hart.
>I also note that you cannot get into a discussion without immediate
recourse to ad hominem.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! This is rich. YOU are telling ME that I use ad hominems!
Classic.
> Perhaps you should retract your earlier comments on its use or I will
consider you as great a hypocrite as those you purport to defend.
I retract nothing. As for what you think of me, let me quote Shakespeare:
"Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear
Your favours nor your hate."
Macbeth, Act 1 Scene III.

Simple, yes. That it though.

it does

Indeed. More power to them.

Kharma? How the might have fallen.

You are right about it not lasting forever. Saddam will soon be gone.
