If you think that's bad, wait until that communist dictator Hugo Chavez comes to Lula da Silva for some uranium. :sarcasm:

9. Most countries want nukes now as self defense from BushCo
They think the formerly Cold War thinking of Mutually Assured Destruction is the only way to protect themselves from us. :(

13. why we don't stop cutting down our rainforest and show them how?
is there a tree left in oregon or washington state? is there a native tree left in hawaii?

fair is fair, hell, entire states are jackpine desert or agricultural desert and yet we are allowed to have nukes

i'm tired of the double standard

11. they prob. already have them
they're pretty sharp in brazil, if nukes are good enough for north americans, why are they not good enough for south americans, fair is fair

i suspect they already have them but if they want to make a big fuss and noise to keep the bush bully off their back i am not going to criticize them

* only respects power, this is why he invaded a helpless country that had been dis-armed for many years (iraq) and is why he won't do anything but make noise abt north korea or pakistan

15. yes lars and Brazil will be no different so my question is

23. ok I forgot the comma, I give up..I'm busted send me to gitmo
for re-education..lol and you couldn't resist !!
Seriously though, Brazil with nukes paints a new picture for the bush crime family. Will we hear tough talk, threats intimidation and the like? Chavez has some friends in Brazil. Will Iran say,"hey Brazil want nukes so we want them too"? In this topsy turvy world now anything goes..

26. South America has historically been a source of cheap labor for US corps
Edited on Sun Feb-12-06 03:59 AM by Selatius
And they've been a source of mineral, agricultural wealth as well. If they start getting nuclear weapons, it makes them less easier to subjugate and turned into little more than a resource satellite for the lords and masters of the US. It won't be so easy to pillage them for every damn dime they're worth anymore, and if you are the kind who puts money above everything else, even human life, then you probably would not be too happy right now at this news.

28. That is not true
Many countries in Asia and Europe have nuclear energy programs without nuclear weapons.

19. Nukes in SA would never be allowed
because they a leftists and evil and to be feared. Soon we'll have to fight them there so we don't fight them here. Come on now, I want to see more patriotic stickers and tags so everybody won't question the government.

21. Who can Blame Lula? He's a Mulatto Hispanic that watch Katrina!!!
Being Black comes down to a question of color and not geography? As Kayne West said "George Bush doesn't care about Black People." And Lula, watches quietly as the Bush gang tried to overthrow his fellow leftist reformer in SA, Chavez. He may have been a working stiff before he was president of Brazil, but he's not idiot. Bush would let his own dark-skinned countrymen drown needlessly, for nothing more than expedience and indifference. Do you honestly think these crooks wouldn't try to bum rush Brazil for every natural resource they get their grimy little hands on? Why wouldn't the largest Black population in the Western Hemisphere not want a few nukes to ward off the BushCo?

29. is there anybody with any fucking sense in this party?????????
Edited on Sun Feb-12-06 12:08 PM by radio4progressives
Anyone at all?

Please Transmit to the powers that be, that Donna Brazile is a fucking idiot, that Daschle is a fucking idiot, and so is Harmann, Biden, Lieberman and the rest of these clowns, and it's goddam time somebody wake the fuck up out the soma tablets they must be taking because we're being led and propagandized to by a bunch of fucking morons in both parties and the goddam media.

this is a train wreck of global magnitude and I'm not hearing an ounce of common sense from my own fucking party - when the 2006 mid term elections are lost again - people here are going look back and say, if only if only if only.

take action NOW - get these morons OFF the fucking media permently
- get Feingold and Howard Dean to speak for the party and back Feingold up on removing the egregious provisions in the pa reauthorization act - and start talking some goddam sense on foreign policy for a change.
