I'm sticking o the PC. I did my foray into consoles with X Box and well, overall it wasn't worth it.

Okay, I am never going to get Vista.

Ah, man. We are so screwed.

I agree with both those points, Walsh. From my research the average yearly death toll from Saddam reign and the US occupation is roughly the same. Not worse, but not better, than before. It just seems worse now because of the constant media coverage, the US military deaths on occasion, and the fact that it is being done by various factions instead of just one. On point two, I do agree that we need to make sure that Iraq can take care of itself and be more self sufficient before leaving. Something we should have done in Afganistan before we invaded Iraq. I do think that Bush and his administration are the wrong people to do this. We need a united coalition of many nations, from the US to the Russia, from China to Great Britain, to partake in this so that Iraq can be strong. Such a united front cannot happen with Bush in charge because how he has alienated so many nations. We also remove support from Israel and place those resources to Iraq and Afganistan. Israel no longer needs our help. If we can marshal the resources we are spending on Israel on a yearly basis and focus it on Iraq and Afganistan, the process of making Iraq and Afganistan on solid ground can really begin.

A very nice find.

All Americans do. We elect them in office, we pay our taxes, and so forth. That is why each American should vote and make sure we put in the best officials as possible and punish those who cheated in getting in office. I still say Bush cheated in his two elections.

Okay, that is the last time I'll have Alf cook.

What I do is make a copy of the original. Take the original, and remove the read only tag. Modify, place it back in the directory and go. I tend to change the long sword holy avenger into a great sword holy avenger. Holy avengers should be great swords.

It is the diet coke of ZRPG. Just one calorie. Not ZRPG enough.

Dogs are cool to. I like both equally but I would own a cat before owning a dog.

Yep. Damned bastard that I am.

Yeah... Staying away from Vista. Yesiree.

The US is the one in charge and the one who is putting a new government in place. Ultimately the US government is in control and thusly is responsible for what goes on in Iraq, regardless if they have a direct hand in it or not. It is the chain of events from when the US invaded to the current situation now, it is all tied to when Bush decided to invade. For good or ill, the US is ultimately responsible for both Afganistan and Iraq.

You wouldn't. It will be DX 10 pretending to be DX 9.

Vista and Direct X will work with the older boards but when it comes to video gaming and Direct X 9 DX 10 will be running in emulation mode since it doesn;t actually have DX 9 bits in it.

That is why we should probably compare the average yearly death counts prior the invasion to the post invasion numbers and see where they lie. If my calculations are correct, they are approximately the same. So, Iraq is not worse off, but not better off, at least where it comes to the total amount of dead are concerned.

Got the cord and a X1900 GT, all under $230. Man, even NWN looks a hell a lot better than it did before.

Hmmm... You have a good point there. Well, maybe I would be a little more secure in our self sufficiency once E85 and hybrid cars become more common and Ethonal and Biodiesel become the main fuel sources for our country.

Or make it a good place to hunt elves.

We are getting there. We still have a pretty strong dependency on foreign oil, but it would help other nations to become more self sufficent if we shuffle the foreign aid around and give to other countries who have the greatest need the greater amount of aid. Israel is not one of them.

http://www.iraqbodycount.org/ An interesting, if not morbid, site. Actually, comparing the number of dead during Saddam's reign of 23 years and to the numbers of Iraqi dead since the US occupation... They both have the same early average. Um... nevermind.

If we need something then we are not self sufficient. If we want something, then its trade.

Cats are one of my favorite animals. Its good to here that one is safe and sound, but it looks like he has a long recovery ahead of him. I hope everything turns out okay.

I concur.
