Probably didn't intend to conquer. Else he would have brought soldiers :)
Still, it is a catchy phrase, no?

)Gen. ``Stormin' Norman'' Schwarzkopf was invited by Barnes &
)Noble bookstore in New York to sign his new book, ``It Doesn't
)Take a Hero'' on Sept. 29. Schwarzkopf commanded the genocidal
)U.S. attack against Iraq's people during the Gulf War. He
)received a $5 million commission for the book.
Who commisioned it?

)Anti-war activists from the International Action Center and

Yep. Ol' Norman deliberately targeted children as his main objective of the 
war. Forget the army waiting in Kuwait-- you could get killed fighting those
people!!>:0 Get a life. Oh, I see. You need more scapegoats. This seems to
be to damn common in political movements.
)protesters outside the store. Several protesters confronted
)Schwarzkopf with signs, banners and chants inside.
I doubt he liked that. However, he WAS quoted saying that the protestors
had every right to express their views or words to that effect. I notice
you decided to omit that, Greg Butterfield (if you read the newsgroups.)
I can understand why: it degrades the image you project of a bloodthirsty 
warmonger. Oh well, guess the truth takes a back seat to POLITCAL
EXPEDIANCY(tm) again. Apologies for the block letters :)

)Three were arrested. They were later released but are facing
)serious trespassing charges. Scott Scheffer, one of those
)charged, said: ``The real crime is that this racist mass murderer
)was given a forum to spread the Bush administration's lies.
I see. So the progressive movement only supports the 1st Amendment when it 
comes to expressing only their views? I guess if you all gain power <cough>
excuse me, "liberate" everybody, you will have censors who will monitor the
media for unprogressive (OOPS!! I mean lies!) views? Need a few answers to
those questions, please.

By the way, how do you know that Schwartzkopf is racist? Because the enemy he
was ordered to fight a group of non-white people? Did he make racist comments
towards the Iraqis? Come to think of it, I believe he mentioned in an interview
that he respected the Arabs and Persians. But I guess that again, it suits 
your purposes to accuse people of racism at the drop of a hat. Alienates them
pretty well since others might be reluctant to protect him in fear of also 
being accused of racism. Very...... McCarthyist. 
)Imagine wasting $5 million on this butcher's advance when people
)need jobs and housing. We had to make sure the truth came out:
As I ask again. Did the government commision this book? If so, then I agree
that it is a waste of money. Else, I will have to say that you shouldn't try
to tell others what to do with their money, no?
)that Schwarzkopf, Bush and the rest and war criminals who killed
)hundreds of thousands for oil company profits.''
Oh, were they convicted? When was the trial held? Otherwise you cannot justly
accuse them of a crime.

Should of read this part first. I have doubts as to whether or not the 
workers want help from bozos like these clowns. Did they ask the workers if
they wanted help or did they elect themselves? Take a wild guess.
Might as well post this. Maybe I can stir up a thread I want to talk about.

The Three Laws of Politics
1) Everything you say is TRUTH; everything your opponent says is propaganda.
2) People who agree with you made their choice on their own; those opposed
   to you were tragically brainwashed by the media.
3) People's movements/organizations rarely stay that way.
