Shouldn't the Iraqi people be able to elect their own government members and make their own laws??

Worse than that was the link pointing to Qualcomm moving into Iraq (where GSM is widely entrenched).

When opening up new markets for....business (I won't say exploitation) one often tips the balance in the seller's favor...especially when you're literally creating the foundation for new enterprise.

The Iraqis will get used to it. They'll love Britteny.

Funny how they're writing legislation when there's as yet no legislature. They presume a lot, don't they?

i am gunna go over there, and become president, then BAN the RIAA, PETA, and any other group that likes to manipulate people.


Maybe i should create a file sharing program w/ like a 30$ startup fee, and then like 2$ per month. I wonder if the RIAA would agree to that? they would still get money from me, and make more money than necessary (and i pocket a little)
