QUOTE=Soviet_Guy]I want to be your new friend now, I hate Reagan and despise him even more than Gorbachev, he was just an old faurt who was given a script to talk, what an ass, I'm so damn happy that bastard finally died, as for his wife, wow, what an ugly bitch. Anyway, he's an idiot, in terms of failure, he DID kill communism. I hate him for it, but he accomplished his mission you see.

Truly I will have to ramp up my rhetoric to remain the most insensitive dolt on his site

Junior dolt maybe. It takes years of practice to achieve my level. And you son, are not there yet. It takes more than name calling to be truly insensitive. Much thought must be put into it also.
 
Okay, I just hate Reagan, I hate that bastard who destroyed communism, okay? Jeese I never wanted to be a person who insults people, 90% of the time I speak of my mind with absolutely no intention of insult.

That's no problem. Did I ever tell you the one where I mounted a coordinated military attack on a 1980's East Berlin machine gun tower?..................Snow was in the air, the Stoli was flowing........

It's "en garde".

And you can speak your mind without thrashing a dead man with that level of disrespect.

You know, my comrades elsewhere were right...you right wingers do not want to debate but rather want to brawl, don't you? And this post seems to confirm those suspicions...

Isn't Gorbachev's first name Mikhail, not Michael?

Just wondering....

But it's a well known fact that you United Statesians don't know how to spell. :2razz:

We do. But please note that the author of this thread is from Canada. Don't insult us Americans by including Canadians as part of the United States of America.

What about those in central and south America who don't like the fact that you United Satesians have hijacked the word "American"?

Yeah Carter was really bad, I mean all Hitler did was leave millions dead and Europe in ashes.

But then Carter did inflict that accent on the world. ;)
 
How can it be anyone except Saddam Hussein? He sits on the worlds second largest oil reserve during a time in history when the entire planet is desperately dependent on oil. And the need only promises to increase into the forseeable futrue. His country is one of the most progressive in the region (not saying alot) but it had more potential, socially speaking, to move into the 18th/19th century than most of its neighbors.

And although Saddam's reign hadn't ended before the century closed, he proved himself perpetually and singularily capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory; regression from the fertile earth of potential progress. His diplomatic prowress that would make a second-rate mafioso cringe ensured that oil would only flow out of his country at the rate that a highly corrupt black market would allow.

He didn't hesitate to sabotage his own oil fields just to inflict suffering on hundreds of thousands of his own citizens, or to spite the UN authorized multi-national coalition that liberated Kuwait. While sanctions choked the poor of Iraq, but before the black markets and "Oil for Food" programs starting bringing in income, he was still buying fleets of Mercedes for his ruling elite. Tariq Aziz would chain smoke $70 cuban cigars while complaining that UN Sanctions were forcing him to be driven in a car to get to foreign airports instead of being able to use his private jet. He would cite this as evidence of "the suffering of the Iraqi people." He actually used that train of thought on more than one occasion; it wasn't just bad english or a badly worded statment.

The entire country could easily have attained a standard of living to rival that of any other country in the world. Instead, its just another third world back water. In your wildes imagination, could you possibly invent a more egregious waste of capitol and opportunity? His insistence on being the Stalin of the middle east styled after his heros in hollywood films about italian mafias ensured that his only successes would be not in economics, leadership, progress, influence, etc, but that he would only succeed in causing suffering and death that many human rights groups say was the worst by any single leader since WWII.

Hitler may have failed on a larger scale, but he aspired to rule the world. He even made some modest progress. Saddam aspired to take over Iran... (???) and failed. Then, ooooh, look out Kuwait!! He almost lost everything when the US handed him his ass on a plate. A Reagan or Bush Jr woulda had the juice to finish the job the first time, but I can't hold it against Sr for doing what he did under the circumstances.

So much potential in that country. So very little attempted. So much evil achieved, and so little of anything good, useful or powerful achieved. He will go down as one of the biggest schlubs of history. Sitting on a gold mine he was content to go no further than rape rooms, torture, displacement, oppression, terrorizing... all for the sake of his own twisted ego. Trillions of dollars under his feet and he's content to raise two sons more lecherous than himself, and turn evil in on his own country. By what measure is anyone else a bigger failure?

How could any single human being (urinate) away more than Saddam Hussein has?

I voted for Gorbachev. He was a nice guy who tried to fix the USSR, but failed. Is it all his fault? Nah, corruption flourished and Soviet style rule was already starting to crumble. far before Mikhail. Still, he had a glorious goal and I wish he had succeded.

And Teacher, why am I not included in your rant about Marx/Lenin saliva swap fest? I saw Soviet Guy..Comrade Brian...Anamoly. Where was I? :waiting:
