All day I've been wondering what it is about people. People can be stupid. People can be smart. Let's not forget the people in the middle too! Everyone is different. That's amazing, isn't it? Really, though, if you think about it, there are many similarities among people in a certain country. Example: The United States. Almost anyone will say that Iraq is evil. That's what they're supposed to think, according to mister president bush. So many people think that just because the government tells them to. Right or wrong? Oh, I don't know. Certainly there are some people who look in to the issue and make up their mind independantly. "Kewl" people do that. So many, unfortunately, do not.

This post contains a hidden message. What is it?

PS. Post 900! w00t.

True, but that's not the hidden message.

Sorta OT here but thought this was interesting...

Saddam has given amnesty to all convicted criminals in Iraq. (except convicted spies) Everyone wether they murdered or stole or whatever is free to go. hmm what do you think he is trying to do?? This man is nutz...

Does you hidden message have something to do with "kewl"?? Or did you just put quotations around that for no reason??

Come on people, look closely. this is a variation of a common null cipher in steganography. To solve encryption, look for patterns and structure. Divide the ciphertext into sections that could commonly be used as an easy to remember pattern. The code isn't even encrypted. It is a very basic cipher.

Wow we use to do this kind of thing in the 5th grade!!! Try reading the old book The Puzzle Palace, a nice introduction into how the NSA use to do things with codes.

Fixed typo... :blush:

Divide and conquer :( <--- used by USA everywhere.. Kurds will help overthrow Saddam by their ground forces and US Air forces . Just like Taliban were overthrown by using their own people (bribes and ground troops)

One question pops up in my mind. The recession is already going on, What if US looses the war and something worse than Vietnam happens from Iraq (which is stronger than veitnam with all those nuclear stuff) , where will the economy of US go then? . Lets think about this for a while . Even the big super powers can face a fall.

Then again, what if Iraq is seriously telling the truth and has no weapons of mass destruction right this second? (hypothetical) If that were the case and we overthrew Saddam, we would lose all credibility with the rest of the world.

As for where the economy would go in case of another Vietnam, I say we may hit depression levels (the first time since the 1930s).

Yes countries will get the opportuinity to attack on any other country without UN consultation and giving USA's attack on Iraq as an example. For Example Israel will then be free to attack and kill and slaughter tens of more people as compared to what its doing now

Neat little hidden message. Does anyone know any good sites that have more of these types of basic stenography-type message things (for lack of a better word ;))?
