Screw it. I'm in a happy, feisty mood today. I'll give it a go:
So am I. I only called Bush stupid to wind up Fellowship, but what the hey.

Not a massive fan of his music, but Hades, that man has an amazing grasp of the English language. He's the very definition of 'articulate'! Rhymes upon rhymes the man has.
Essentially, anything bad that the U.S. does they should be held responsible for.
Whatever happened to that die hard conservative 'responsibility' I always hear about?
Perhaps if others were held to their responsibilities as much as the US is, then singling out the US time and again for all the worlds badness wouldn't be as much fun.
Face it, no matter how you try and spin it so that the US is to blame for Iraqi deaths, whether though sanctions, war or Saddam's reign of terror, in the end the truth of the matter is that Saddam hold's the primary and overwhelming responsibility for the deaths.
How is THAT hilarious? Two Iraqi citizens, who cannot read the Roman alphabet, let alone understand English, are forced, at gunpoint, to wave around a banner given to them by some redneck-asshole Uncle Sam trooper. Haha. I'm having so much fun I actually crapped my pants.

How do you know they can't understand English? And are you saying they'll be shot by Americans unless they hold this sign? Why do you think that?
I admit that it has of less an impact if the banner was provided by US troops, but do you have any information that says that's the case? And BTW, "wankers" is not a common American term, which makes me believe it wasn't provided by American troops.

Iraqis cannot read the Roman alphabet or understand English?
Now if I had said what der Kopf said about those two Iraqis, you would've strung me up.
But someone made a point: "wanker" is hardly a popular, common American expression.
If U.S. Marines or other American troops made that banner, they wouldn't be able to show it on TV.
In any case, the sign is hilarious. The human shields really did show their pluck, didn't they?
"No, I want to shield a hospital or daycare center. What? A military target? A power plant? I'm outta here! Hello, Mom? Listen, things didn't go quite as planned here in Baghdad...can you and Pop pick me up at the airport tomorrow morning?"
Translation: "I just play lip service to my convictions. Saying I'm a 'human shield' makes me look noble...and could very well get me laid if I play things right. I realize the term 'human shield' implies that I might stand in the way of evil, oppressive U.S. weaponry. However, after truly confronted with that fact, I quickly changed my underwear and hopped the next plane out. I only wanted this gig if it meant I could sit in a hospital lobby and read 'Entertainment Weekly' for a few days. Dying for my supposed beliefs? Haha...yeah, right. Fück no, pal. Bye...I'm London-bound! Classes start back next week."

I sincerely believe that Americans did make that sign. Over here, the news showed human-shielders protesting vociferously against Americans troops in tanks. Holding signs, shouting about the horror they caused, the wounding, the suffering. I guess, for those troops, it took away a lot of the glory they thought they would be met with.
I wonder why you say that, if US troops would've made it, they wouldn't be able to show it.
Also, though wanker may not be the most American of English words, I have heard it here often, and not principally out of the mouths of our British brethren. (or are you, groverat?).

Oh, gotta go.
Gotta go. Must meet my ladyfriend.
Although, I tend not to look to rappers for staggering displays of wordsmanship. But that might be where I'm going wrong?

That's a low blow, and I hate to admit it, but it has me laughing out loud. Sorry Fellowship, I mean you no harm.

Yes. No matter what the U.S. does, it's Saddam's fault.
