QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 11:35 AM) You are addressing an effect, I am addressing a cause. The sanctions themselves didn't lead to food and medicine shortages in Iraq, the government in Iraq did. It made it harder for them to trade for food and medical supplies. Those are just two things that were a problem. There are other issues that were created by the sanctions. Such as water purification. Chlorine and other chemicals were banned and those were needed to help clean the water. United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) survey noted that almost half the children under 5 years suffered from diarrhoea, in a country where the population is marked by its youth, with 45% being under 14 years of age in 2000.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 08:55 AM) Let's be honest that had more to do with the leadership of Iraq than the sanctions. I don't believe food aid or medical supplies were restricted due to the sanctions. There are hundreds of pieces written about this. Here is one, that has a break down of the effects of the sanctions. http://www.globalissues.org/article/105/effects-of-sanctions

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 08:16 AM) Something that needs to be pointed out now and again for people who think more blood is the answer. The vast majority of those people are innocent (although the US isn't solely responsible for all those deaths obviously, but those numbers are conservative estimates on the Muslim side), and people wonder why we have image problems in certain parts of the world and why nobody takes us at our word when we say we're there to help. War doesn't help in most cases. We can be our own worst enemy. Plus most of the people that died in Iraq from the UN sanctions were children. Madeleine Albrights response to a May 11, 1996 60 Minutes question about the over half a million children killed by the Iraqi sanctions Death of 500,000 Children 'Worth It' "It’s a hard choice, but I think, we, think, it’s worth it."

Your gonna have to give up alot more than that to get any of those guys you mentioned. I don't think KW has to make a big splash. Another bullpen arm and and outfielder is probably be what we get.

We should invade every country. That will for sure stop terrorism. We need more of this. This will work! http://www.thenation.com/doc/20091207/scahill

I think you may be the most nervous baseball fan ever.

Back up infielder. He can play SS/2B/3B.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Nov 20, 2009 -> 03:21 AM) Are you kidding me? The online play is absolutely amazing I've never been more addicted to something in my life it's so much fun. It makes CoD4 look like a child's game. The Campaign was short and great, and special ops is hours of fun with another person. Definitely not over hyped. The MW2 online is tons of fun. The only problem is that you have to deal with really annoying people sometimes. It hasn't been to bad.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 19, 2009 -> 11:47 AM) People like convenience. Go around the country and see other stadiums and you get the full experience at the park and immediate surroundings. I'd bet those are the stadiums that have better attendance even when their team isn't playing all that well. Thats true. Give me convenience or give me death.

There are already places to go before and after the game in Bridgeport. People act like its a wasteland. Its not Wrigleyville, but there are places.

I can't believe this guy was a head coach three times. Next up Mangini.

He will feel shame.

Tea Party protest fooled. http://thinkprogress.org/2009/11/16/columbus-go-home/

It would be weird to see the Sox without Konerko. When does free agency start?

This could free up 7 million to get a bullpen guy and maybe another OF.

I'm guessing Jordan Danks and maybe Hudson would be gone.

I thought the Angels had a first baseman? Could Konerko play center field?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 01:36 PM) One of the major reasons they wanted to look for water was to see if there was extractable supply for human use on the moon. We're talking about people staying on the moon for more than a few days. So how long before there are condos on the moon?

I enjoyed Let the Right One In, but it was no Twilight.
