Hmmm, and what has happened to the servicemen injured saving Kuwait?
The ones who are in wheel chairs or blind living in run down trailers?
Any money
for them?

Nope. That wasn't part of the deal.

Right. Use the Yanks when you must and ignore them the rest of the time.

---
So now you'd have the countries we've helped making payments to individual
servicemen/women for the services they performed? That would be OK,
except that we don't run a mercenary Army. ---

No, you(r leaders) run an Imperial Army/Navy/Air Force/etc., though they
have yet to admit it, after more than a century of doing so.

reached new heights, in Message-ID:

"Immorality: The morality of those who are having a better time." -- H.

"Consider that language a moment. 'Purposefully and materially
supported hostilities against the United States' is in the eye of the
beholder, and this administration has proven itself to be astonishingly
impatient with criticism of any kind. The broad powers given to Bush by
this legislation allow him to capture, indefinitely detain, and refuse a
hearing to any American citizen who speaks out against Iraq or any other
part of the so-called 'War on Terror.'

"If you write a letter to the editor attacking Bush, you could be
deemed as purposefully and materially supporting hostilities against the
United States. If you organize or join a public demonstration against
Iraq, or against the administration, the same designation could befall
you. One dark-comedy aspect of the legislation is that senators or House
members who publicly disagree with Bush, criticize him, or organize
investigations into his dealings could be placed under the same
designation. In effect, Congress just gave Bush the power to lock them
up." -- William Rivers Pitt
