French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner on Monday reiterated his country's readiness to help stabilise Iraq, during a flurry of talks with leaders of the country's bitterly divided communities. "France is ready to play a role in the fight against the violence," Kouchner said at a press conference after talks with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani in Baghdad.
Things are getting scary. Strongsville kids is havin' to walk to school. This can't be what America is about. But it ain't just the Iraqi Terrorists hatin' our way of life.
We've got Nigerians hating our freedom. They want to make us all various types of Nigerian ethnic minorities. But the U.S. volunteer military is stretched to the limit.
So...It may be time to close up shop in South Korea, Japan, Okinawa, Guam, and most of the Pacific. New Guinea has some oil, so keeping stuff going in New Zealand is alright. The Australians got a lot of plutonium and their agricultural capacity is about to collapse relative to their population, so a few bases there are alright.
But there is a lot of cheap oil to be had in Nigeria, and it is closer to us. But it is full of Nigerians who hate our freedom! So it is time to pull most of the guys in the pacific over to Nigeria. That way Strongsville kids won't have to walk to school.

Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created the comic book character Superman as children while residing in Cleveland, Ohio. Siegel developed the storylines, while Shuster drew the comic. The two creators initially developed Superman as a villain during the 1930s, but they quickly made him a superhero.

They grew up so close by, it would have been just swell if they came from a town called Strongsville!
Would the earlier Superman have burned his draft card with laser vision? He was also an illegal immigrant. And he doesn't operate with liability insurance.
Farms like Ma and Pa Kents' would have gone out of business by the 1970s at the latest.
He could run faster than a speeding bullet, so there was no reason for him to sympathize with our motoring needs and subsequent fossil fuel needs.
He may have fought for truth and justice as his motivation. That leaves out law and order. They didn't add the "American way" part till later.

And he wore a red cape!
Don't forget the importance of the subtext of the Krypton names. Kal-el is the vessel of God, although it was explained that his Krypton name meant star child.
Adding the -el means "of God".
So anyway, we have this messianic illegal alien that influenced millions and who couldn't be bothered getting a green card.
Clark also wouldn't have been able to go to school or college without his medical vaccination records for polio and all that other stuff.
So...If his rocket landed 20 years ago, he'd probably have grown up with a family of mexican migrant laborers. He would look like Jimmy Smits, that guy from the TV shows.

There is closer oil in the Arctic, Great Lakes, Alaska and coast of Florida... So there goes that theory
no. The highest estimates of how much recoverable oil is there is a small fraction of our present oil use over a few years.
I can appreciate the strategy of significantly depleting middle eastern supplies first. Yet somehow it seems more moral to not play with American lives in expeditionary petrochemical wars.
This is America. And Canada. If there was so much oil in the arctic and off Florida it would go down like this: Our right wing tools would call a general strike...a refusal to engage in expeditionary oil wars. the world commodity prices of oil would maybe rise sharply, maybe not. If they did rise sharply all the suburbanite Americans would be strongly advocating rapid development of potential oil reserves along the coasts: without cheap oil they'd have to move back to the cities, which they'd forfeited to blacks, crackers, and hillbillies. The oil companies would theoretically make a huge fortune. And without the expeditionary oil wars our taxes would be lower. Oil closer to home also means more jobs extracting and moving oil for americans. So, no, the biggest guys on the right have no faith in significant additional oil supplies on the American coasts. they'd be making a lot more money if they did.
