No, John, unless yer deaf, dumb, blind and amoral, there are differences of
both degree and kind between terrorists like the ones who blew up the school children in Beslan and the "Freedom Fighters" who took back their country in Ukraine and are attempting to do so in Lebanon, despite the politically-correct non-stance the BBC is trying to indoctrinate its audience to believe. In you, it seems, they've succeeded. Hmmmpf!

In you, it seems, they've succeeded. Hmmmpf! Interesting argument - agree with you or accept that I'm deaf, dumb and blind? Russia was/is attempting to do in Chechnya what the US is doing in Iraq and now Iran (that's not over by a *long* way). The US promises tens of millions of dollars to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan looking for oil out of the Caspian sea. Russia's own route to the Caspian Sea oil lies through Chechnya, hence Putin's own "war on terrorism". In Chechnya the Russians have attacked villages, blown up white flag convoys. used weapons banned under the Geneva convention. But they are "our allies" - Putin is Bush's "new close friend" - therefore the "freedom fighters" become "the terrorists". I may not agree with their methods, but then I don't agree with Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Mosul, or countless other atrocities. Right is not the sole preserve of one side, and one incident does not change any entire country into terrorists. They are still the wronged. |

Exactly, Bruce. Are we supposed to weep for Al Qaida, too?

Wronged in that millions of innocents have died from cancers and we denied them any treatment. Wronged in that we used depleted uranium which caused those cancers. Wronged in that we cleaned up Kuwait, but denied any such help or advice to Iraq, who had no experience of such material, and could do nothing. This is only one example - there are thousands of others. Around Basra it is estimated that 40-48% of the population will develop cancers in the coming years - that's HALF of an entire region. Saddam was a tyrant, but what we have done to his people makes me ashamed to be human, never mind ashamed to be British. How anyone could justify that is beyond me. </rubbish> |

This is the kind of rubbish you could have talked about a YEAR ago and you
might have been able to keep a straight face. Today what you say is nothing but conspiratorial nonsense without ANY basis in fact or reality. You can somehow try to justify your point of view by comparing the POSSIBILITY of cancer vs the reality of a brutal murdering dictator is actually about the saddest version of a brainwashed nut Ive ever heard or seen. Time to open your eyes to the reality of freedom in Iraq despite your OBVIOUS liberal spin of how bad things are. We wont even talk about how quickly freedom is breaking out ALL OVER the Middle East including Palestine. Yea, GW was wrong..... NOT! SAD!

Well enough now.
To begin with there are NO WMD in Iraq, so your justification for war was a lie. Secondly, since when does America get to decide what democracy is or is not? Thirdly, if you're so convinced of free Iraq, I suggest a trip to Baghdad for details. Fourth, the fact that depleted uranium KILLS is just that - a fact - and the fact that you would somehow decide that that FACT is a liberal agenda is about as bizarre as saying that evolution is a theory (Kansas, maybe?). More than that, the idea that the US - who armed, encouraged and paid for Saddam's war with Iran in which countless millions were gassed and killed, are suddenly the bringers of democracy to Iraq is laughable. Moreover, the idea that the US - who imposed the Shah on Iran - who was known for his little foibles like democracy and burning woman to death in his private quarters - is now "concerned" with democracy in the middle east is even more bizarre. And let's not forget who armed, trained and paid for Bin Laden and his mujahadeen. And let's not forget who has paid Israel 4 billion dollars a year to continue its racist policies against the Palestinians. And let's not forget, while we're at it, the countless other democracy bringing adventures of the US in Vietnam, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Iran, Iraq, etc etc - and let's not forget, while we're at it, exactly the type of TYRANTS the US supports to this day in Uzbekistan, Pakistan and all points East. And while we're wondering - spare a thought for the people of Grozny - and the people of Chechnya - who have been viciously cleansed from the face of the earth before you pass judegment on why and how they exact their revenge on your buddies, the Russians. There are consequences in this world for all actions; and while you're considering all of this, do spare a thought for Nelson Mandela, who Cheney called a terrorist. And do, while you're at it, spare a thought for the liberal media's secret agenda of showing Rummie-Dum-Dum shaking hands with the democratic Saddam in the early 80s - at the time when he was at his most brutal, and conducting well-known gas-warfare against the Iranians. No-one asks you to be right or wrong mate; but really, do you have to brag about your shocking devestation of the dispossessed all in the name of extreme right wing bloodlust?

No Steve, but an understanding of how and why Al Qaeda came about is
probably a good start to understanding how to rid the world of this scourge. And, btw, bombing Baghdad doesn't quite cut the mustard. And neither does bombing Iran for that matter. Or Syria. Is it really possible, Steve, that the Americans are the only people that can be right? Not sure about you, but last time I checked the US foreign policy is littered with mistakes that have cost millions of innocent lives. "Steve Smith" > wrote in message .. . > Exactly, Bruce.

Last I checked American foreign Policy is littered with FREE people the
World over. More people with a higher degree of FREEDOM than at any time EVER in the history of mankind, and at the American taxpayers and blood and expense I might add. What is your countries contribution to World Peace and Freedom? Is American foreign Policy always right? I sure wouldnt say that but the good FAR outweighs the bad which your liberal biased hatred blocks entirely from your skewed perspective.
