So you read this article, and your only comment was that my sarcastic comment was somehow inappropriate?

[iopscusa]

yeah I read it all and my comment was directed at your wording, excuse me if I did not catch the sarcasm...the writer was so predictable and irrational with crap like this:
The US and its coalition, who defied ??? the UN Security Council and invaded Iraq, owe the country and its people huge reparations for their wanton destruction. No weapons of mass destruction ??? were found in Iraq, no ??? connection was established between the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda to warrant a pre-emptive war, and Iraq is no closer to democracy today than the closest US Arab allies in the Middle East are. As many polls have indicated, all the Iraqis want — except their Maliki government — is for the US to leave and let them lick their wounds, unite their families, mourn their dead, repatriate their refugees, mend sectarian differences and establish a new Iraqi order without American interference.

lol. I know. I was being silly.

Of all the empires in history, the United States will go down as one of the most aggressive and least inspiring. After nearly 160 years of warfare and imperial conquest, US policy, and the war machine it marshalled, has left nothing in its tracks but death and destruction, with no lasting cultural value.

Well, Ayman El-Amir, baby, if you're speaking metaphorically, you are entitled to your opinion and can enjoy your mental masturbation.
If you are referencing reality, you are an ignorant idiot, with no sense of history, or the differences between the world of the 10th century and contemporary world affairs.

I suspect that this article is the umma whining, but since the article is credited to you...
