It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Supposedly there are biowarfare labs in Aleppo. One of those could get smashed up in the fighting and introduce a disease to the population and fuck the world without any intent by either side!

There's discussion whether Germany should send a couple soldiers and Patriot missiles to the Turkish-Syrian border. The discussion is mostly, "ZOMG we can't send soldiers anywhere, ever, we might HURT someone! And war is ALWAYS evil - we can't get involved in that! Also: AMERIKKKA EVÖL!!!"

I may play some of the Bundeswehr scenarios for Combat Mission Shock Force tonight.

They need to send the 2nd Panzer back to invade Greece.

Our whole school was protesting against the '91 Gulf War (I was 14 at the time). I and three others out of 400+ students refused to go because we were in favor of military action. Our teachers weren't happy, but they respected our decision. We even got interviewed by the local paper.

Germany these days is like the anger-less Rimmer in Red Dwarf's polymorph:

Syrians have captured an important army base in the east.
Are the Syrians falling back in disorder, while the Syrians are preparing to consolidate their victory?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Something just occurred to me:  the Syrians are fighting the Syrians.  Neither can win, so Syria will become the flat Afghanistan.

91?  The first one?  The no-brainer?   :huh:

Rely on the pacifists to side with the fascist imperialist dictators against the democracies.

First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I was 10 at the time.  I got Gulf War trading cards. :)  I still have Dick Cheney's rookie card.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The Germans weren't siding with Saddam.  They just felt that doing anything to prevent him from conquring the Middle East would be wrong.  Actually, in that the German national character has always been consistent:  It's always wrong to stop an aggressive dictator from conquering whatever he likes.
