arming

People are saying, "why are you strong-arming this through?" It's not malicious.

In retrospect seems like as good an idea as arming the mujahideen in the 80's or putting Lenin on the train from Zurich.

Or arming Saddam's Iraq to fight them in the eighties? Or maybe because, say, TX can execute 15 year old "criminals" and ban abortion and/or gay marriage, but Iranians don't get to decide how they want to live?

Meanwhile, the world's most evil country has a functioning nuclear arms program and is thought to be arming dictatorships around the world for money. I'm glad DoJ isn't playing games in cases involving proliferation.

What killed BeOS was Microsoft strong-arming PC manufacturers to not allow BeOS as an option. Be had Hitachi and Compaq lined up for dual booting and an internet appliance, respectively.

It reeks of America strong-arming other countries to pursue an agenda that is in only its best interests. It is made worse by the high-level collusion between the government and Hollywood.

Russian intelligence agencies have been busy creating and arming their own "Ukrainian Front” as a resistance to the protesters. I'm curious what Russia will do next and if conflict will continue.

I don't know who this sysop is, but if he's just an average Jacques, never having had to deal with strong-arming by intelligence agencies, I can totally understand why he chose that course of action. After all, you can always undelete an article, and right then, at that moment, things must have seemed pretty scary to him.

It should also be noted that I do not condone the "arming" of minors with the intent of allowing them to commit acts of violence on animals, other persons, or even plants for that matter. From here on out, if asked for gift ideas for a child, I'll simply ask a child what they prefer and relay their answer, unless of course they suggest an item not on an "approved" list.
