| Ever try reading history M. Gumby? Look up the history of the British
Empire in Iraq from 1919 thru 1947 and compare it with current events.
I applaud your knowledge of movie trivia. How American of you, if that
is what you are.

Ok. Here is my favorite Agent Smith quote from the Matrix.
I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you
want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there
is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and
every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.
The lines where way better in the first Matrix. They blew in the
sequels.

| Got to love Americas greatest art form.
Morpheus: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But
when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen,
teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are
trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that
system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of
these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so
inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to
protect it.

| Indeed dear Gumby, America is not an empire. You miss the point of
Bourbaki's post. The British Empire never succeeded in quelling
insurgencies in Iraq over several decades despite their use of chemical
weapons and heavy-handed military brutality. The US, though not being
as heavy-handed as the British were, is having trouble quelling an
increasing surge of insurgency.
Why are you such a moron? Of course you knew the meaning of Bourbaki's
post. But in the light of facts, you drop a moronic one-liner.

PS--I'm sure there are many Nicolas Bourbakis in the world, but the
most famous one was actually the product of a multigenerational society
formed of some of the world's leading mathematicians. His name was
borrowed from a general in Napoleon III's army.

No I didn't. Totally different instances.

Again, if you cannot see the differances. it is not my fault.

As opposed to your moronic post? Yes I knew the meaning. Again
America is not an empire. If you cannot see this then your the moron.
Hate Bush blinders stop you from seeing the truth.

Meaningless fact. Isn't the world richer with this knowledge. Rates
right up there with "trix are for kids".

| Please, with some kind of intellectual argument beyond, "Totally
different instances," come up with reasons why what happened to the
Brits in Iraq (their failure to quell constant insurgency)
significantly differs with what American is experiencing? Is every
time you take a shit a uniquely different experience? Don't you
realize that dismissings things doesn't change truth, except, of
course, for crazies and communists regimes?
