Seriously? Today of all days you think anyone gives a flying fuck about Pinochet or the United States role in the coup? Piss up your own nostrils. ---

I have to give you credit, buddy. You are one of the best trolls that I have ever seen on these boards. This is a prime example: it has a point, but one that is so out of line at this point in time that you knew what kind of reactions you were going to get. You even put it in the right forum. Bravo. I am impressed. Other people, I’m sure, will be handing you your ass in short order, but not me. No, I consider this your best troll yet, and given your other posts that’s saying something. I salute your accomplishments thus far and hope to see more top-notch trolling from you in the future. Keep up the good work. ---

The give it a bit of balance how about this Sept 11? 1944 - World War II: the first allied troops of the US Army cross the western border of Nazi Germany. Now there were some glorious Yanks, kicking ass and taking names. ---

The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective – **a new world order** – can emerge: a new era – freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace. ---

Either this thread is an utterly retarded joke or an attempt to piss people off. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt this time, **Wildfire** MM\*\*, but only if you promise to stop being such an idiot.
