Today's Language Lesson
Lt. Colonel Ronnie McCourt reffering to the this week's ambush by pissed off Iraqis, which resulted in the deaths of six British soldiers, says that, "This attack was unprovoked. It was murder."
So, to define terms.
A retaliation by niggers against a force of white soldiers occupying their country -- in response to the occupiers having fired rubber bullets at a demonstration against invasive home searches -- shall be known as "unprovoked murder".
Meantime, an unprovoked, illegal, unilateral war and subsequent occupation killing tens of thousands of niggers (in the short-term) shall be known as "liberation".
Can you say, "Orwell walks among us"? I knew you could!
Incidentally, it is entirely within the bounds of International Law for an occupied people to mount attacks against occupying military forces. The specific language of General Assembly Resolution 37/43 affirms "the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle." But then, International Law is deader than a doorknob these days.

Yes, International Law is dead, all right. The latest news from Gitmo affirms that. Six hapless detainees chosen, one would swear at random, to be tried in a secret military tribunal, with a possible sentence of death. The two who are British citizens are very dodgy cases - no international law would support the circumstances of their original capture, let alone the subsequent detention without charges, or upcoming trial without representation. Iraq, bad as it is, is just the tip of the iceberg, I fear. -- Posted by: Deb Ramage on July 4, 2003 03:14 PM
