So, was the CW title shot for WrestleMania or at an 'undetermined time' (ie Heat)?

It's pretty stupid to take 'everything' as literally meaning 'everything'. That's not what he was implying. Common sense, people.

33 killed in Iraq violence Violence and political doubts presist in Iraq Bulgaria mourns 8th dead in Iraq US troops cut an Iraq abuse video should this be a typical day in Iraq, or any country? Actually, fyi, Arabs (Ottoman Turks) took down the Roman Empire for good. Arab forces spread out from the Saudi lands to bring Islam from the Indian border to central Spain in scucessful war after war. That empire has settled into modern day African countries. Arabs can hold their own just fine thank you very much. And sure Arabs aren't white, but could you tickle my funny bone again and call them black some more? That's beautiful. The Iraq area, however, is rich in natural resources making it a popular target for empires throughout time. Forces from Egypt to Alexander to Rome to Persia have all had their way with that area at one time or another, despite whoever lived there, and whatever nation of their own they wanted to form. Why would the journlist want to lie? What does it get her? What's her angle? Spiffy, before you were trying to tell me that America doesn't colonize. There's an agreement. Total war + occupation = (eventually) new country, created in occupier's image. What's missing from the Iraq equation? Did you know Britain is in Europe? Well.. uh.. uh... uh... YOU MUST BE WRONG I MUST BE RIGHT LA LA LA THEY'RE THROWING FLOWERS AT US TROOPS. Except we're not talking about Noam Chomsky now, are we? So death is good when you're the one doing the killing? What, do you agree with Rush Limbaugh? Was it frat party anticts? And so do the US, in this situation.

Snitsky has no place on the WM card. And he IC title hasn't been defeneded since WM18, so it's not surprising. I really wish they did the RAW vs. SD! thing though

After total war. And you expect Iraq will work without a complete destruction of its people? You seem to have a lot of pent up racist anger. Unfortunately for you I have a couple image marcos. That's a dark skinned person. That's an Iraqi. Dispite best efforts to turn all their skin into more of a red-shade of color, they're still apparently quite white. Well, it's established everything is BS that doesn't agree with your point of view. Middle America actually does say a lot about or American culture and who they are as a people. Also, Ft. Worth is small on this scale. Think more along the lines of New Orleans, or San Francisco - rich in culture, not huge cities. To destroy them would be to destroy culture. After Saddam Hussein took Kuwait, they were offered the Iraqi version of "statehood" too. They asked for outside intervention instead. And it always has been since the 13 colonies. There was no one living on the island chain to colonize... no one at all Actually I said you aren't colonizing Germany and Japan because you do not have forward combat divisions delployed throughout their countries. You do, however, in Iraq and Afghanistan Have you heard of the concept of "Sphere of Influence"? It helped Britain colonize half of China, without ever deploying troops to the countryside. It was done through complete and total economic dominance of the area. These days you can invade with guns to control a country, or you can tie their economic future to your little finger - controlling them via money as a proxy. But you'll skip over this. I don't know if you noticed but the US is in Iraq now. If a civil war breaks out, our troops will be in the center of it. Sure as the sun rises in the west. Out with one madman, in with another. Ask Cambodia about this. Reconize the words "khmer" and "rouge". Shhhh... the US gave them Most Favored Nation status so we can widdle away their Commie-ness. Which ones would those be? The guys with sticks of dynamite and exploding cars, or the ones dropping 5,000lb bombs from 50,000 feet? You're right. Torture is such a bad word. We should just call it 'pro-active physical discomfort to realise a greater goal.' Justifying your bad behavior with someone else's isn't going to get you very far. You are clueless to any opinion outside of the Project for a New American Century.

Combat divisons were withdrawn, either to bases, or brought back to America. Peacekeepers stayed a bit longer. Current troops in Germany, Japan, and South Korea are not occupation forces of those countries, merely a security force left over as a cold war relic, except in the case of Japan where the US provide their security as a stipulation of their post World War 2 constitution. Choice #1 is a puppet government of Iraq that loves America and does whatever it can to kiss up to America. Choice #2 is a government that will run for the protection and love of Iran and Syria. America put in choice #1, the Iraqi people elected a majority that's all for choice #2. Pick your poison. American peacekeepers that take pot shots at freed hostages. Also, those were nothing but peacekeepers that stormed Fallujah in December, and nothing but peacekeepers that were in charge of Abu Graib. You have forward combat divisions deployed currently in Iraq. Peacekeepers usually show up with blue helmits with the letters "UN" on them. Dresden and Hiroshima were there a hell of a lot longer than Berlin and Tokyo. And why did the US firebomb Dresden? Were those old churches really that much of a threat? Hiroshima and Dresden were destroyed as a part of the "total war" policy the allies had. Once they were comitted to total war the target did not matter. When cities like Hiroshima and Dresden began to be bombed off the map, what was left of the Axis powers knew that there wasn't very much more point in resisting. Really? Where, when, and how? Number of deaths? I don't quite recall car bombs or other acts of terror going on in Japan, until groups started up as anti-Japan (not US) groups. See that chemical attack in the Tokyo subway in the 1990's. How the hell you got me saying a racist statement out of that line I'll never know. Then I remember who i'm talking to. America has only been around 200 years, they haven't had time to colonize on the scale of the Europeans. However, while you're trying to say that America doesn't colonize people I'd like to introduce you to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Alaska, the entire United States west of the fall line, Cuba, Philippines, and modern day things that act as colonial influence - bases in Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, to a lesser extent Germany, and to a greater extent the 13 new bases the US are currently building or planning on building in Iraq. The United States. You knew that was coming and this argument has be done countless times, but i'll reiterate. The US fed him money and weapons to keep the Iranians in check because they were alligned with the Soviet Union. Just for fun, apparently, they also decided to supply the Iranian side too. When it looked like they were going to get found out, we withdrew. Remember in the lead up to the war, all the bleeding heart conservatives wanted to tell you about Saddam's gassing of his own people? Lots of that happaned in the 1980's under the Presidency of Regan. What did Regan do? Just supply the gas, and kindly ask it get used on the Iranians, instead. So you can't just say they stopped supporting him after they found out that he was really an evil guy afterall. Iraq was attacked under Bush 1 because they invaded another country, and helping them out would go a long way to improving relations in the Arab world, or at least give the US an ally in a place that largely doesn't care for them much, espically since the US help Israel exist Just wait for when they try to draft up their constitution and we start hearing tidbits like "The Koran will be the basis for all law" and they start setting up bee-keeper suits for their women, and you guys tell them they can't do that. Hell, the Kurds in the north are just hanging back waiting for their time to break away and form Kurdistan. They already have an autonomus parliment, and they have no desire to go play nice with the Shia'a and Sunnis. *sigh* Breaking news, Iraq is not having a smooth time becoming a functioning democracy. Apparently this country called Iraq is invaded and occupied by a foreign power and that power is the United States. If China gathered together 10m troops, invaded and occupied the United States, completely destroyed the infrastructure, imposed curfews, arrested whoever they wanted whenever they wanted for whatever they wanted, tortured prisoners reguarilly, and then announced one day "alright you're going to have an election now! these nice Chinese soldiers will tell you where and how to vote. Don't skip out, or we might forget to feed you!" - how legit would that democracy be? By the Geneva Conventions, that wouldn't be legit at all, but somehow I think you're one of those that has written them off as quaint.

Of course it is. I am just amazed at how openly you will desire for misery if it might possibly hurt America. It only took England, what, several HUNDRED years to develop democracy from the signing of the Magna Carta? I imagine Iraq will pull it off in much less time. Ditto Egypt. -=Mike No country is going to go democratic while combat forces of an occupying nation is still within the borders. Whatever "elected" government does result is nothing, and should be regarded as nothing but a sham and a glorified puppet government. But what about Germany? What about Japan? Forward combat forces were withdrawn from those two nations before elections were set to go forward, replaced by peacekeeper troops save for the military bases that exist to this day. But still, they were occupied and they turned out fine. Yes, but they were both also victims of the doctrine of total war. Their entire infrastructure was leveled, and cities that defined to a culture what it ment to be that culture (Dresden, Germany; Hiroshima, Japan) were nearly burned from the face of the Earth. There was little to no resistance in either of these nations after the ending of combat operations because it was widly known among the women, children, and whatever small precentage of the male fighting population that was left that any sort of resistance would be met with immeidate and overwhelming force. If they didn't believe that they merely had to look to what remained of Tokyo and Berlin. They were also developed countries (great powers even) before the occupation. Iraq was barely a country. Iraq will not "pull it off" in less time, and will more than likely never pull off becoming a functioning, self-sustaining country. A State has had a next to impossible time of devloping in that region, as the area and its abundant natural resources have been under the forces of the Persians, Alexander The Great, Romans, Byzantines, Islamic Arabs, Ottoman Turks, British, and now Americans. That country has never really had a history of being anything else besides anyone's puppet and America is just continuing that everlasting trend. The newly elected "government" of Iraq, if anything, spurns influence from Washington for influence from Terhan and Damascus, and so even if the US leaves Iraq right now and call it stable it will see a future as being a puppet of a greater Arab empire which, by the by, is the dream of Osama Bin Laden. Also, an interesting quote that came out of you-know-who's mouth recently: "We want that democracy in Lebanon to succeed, and we know it cannot succeed so long as she is occupied by a foreign power and that power is Syria," How people can read that and not fall off their chairs laughing is completely beyond me.

http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/20...nada050224.html I've never understood how anyone could say 'yes' to a dangerous program that only encourages further weapons races as an attempt to protect a threat that doesn't even exist. Serious threat eh? There's a lot to be paranoid about. The megalomaniac super-power of every era had the world against them. Mr. Cellucci just made the mistake of thinking Canada has the same enemies the US does. Failure.

Anyone ever been to one of these shows? Good/Bad? The prospect of seeing the ROH champion has peaked my interest and it could be a fun show for $10

Who?

No, it's a direct result of officers walking into an ambush and being killed by a criminal with a high powered rifle. Thanks, professor.

It's not about 'convincing the population'. It's about taking steps to prevent such actions from occuring, thus there's an argument for fewer laws. Cops are people too. That they do put their lives on the line willingly is no reason for society to maintain institutions that increase the likelihood of these things happening. Drug related offenses - meaning victimless crimes - take up what percentage of the RCMP's total time? Not an insignificant amount.

I'm not trying to excuse what he did by any means, but this is a direct result of drug laws.

Vermont Town Hall Meetings Produce Opposition To Iraq War The results of the recent Town Hall Meetings: 48 towns voted in favour 4 voted against 3 passed on the vote The resolution voted on (summary)

It's all for show. I'm sure the Iraqi election did have an effect - namely, convincing Mubarak of the importance of appearing democratic (and before you take that the wrong way, like I know you will, that wasn't a criticism of the Iraqi election).

No, it's not sending support to a man slipping away from supporting America, and more towards Russia/France. But we've already been down this road, so I refuse to start looping points. Now they're just doing it for him

That's bullshit. Saddam's worst crimes, by far, were committed during the war with Iran, but he remained a friend of the US until the day of the invasion of Kuwait.

Having Flair in a World Title match is rather silly

BRING WM TO THE CAYMAN ISLANDS :.>(

I'd like to Cena's reign last another 4 years. That'd be amusing

I like the way they're building up the CW division for Mania. And by like, I mean not.

This match won't happen, and if it does, i;ll leave CE, FOREVER!11!!!1
