    I trust John Pilger to provide complete and accurate information about as much as I trust Bush and Blair :sigh:

    A banal comment if ever there was one. Read the piece by Pilger, listen to what Blair and Bush say and trust yourself to form your opinions. Do you have any by the way?

      OK, I paused. Now, lets fucking invade Iran, then set back and watch as all the little lefty heads explode. For my part, I am for anything that finally drives the left to violence. I am truly curious about what it would actually take to get them to fight for something.

      Modern liberalism has never achieved anything other than giving Secularists something to feel morally superior about

        Yep, I have asked people before that if they truly believe that Blair and Bush are the world most evil men, dragging us into a global war while turning their nations into nazi hell holes then why the hell are they not marching on the nearest US embassy with a bomb? At least the Islamists are not playing at revolutionaries.

          That reads like a bad article from Indymedia. Pilger has been banging on about an imminent invasion of Iran for the last 4 years. Unfortunately he is probably wrong. All that 'Zionist crusader nazi bushitler' schpeel gets you hard though doesn't it?

            Exactly. These leftists are either cowards or the worst political hacks in history.

              You dont have to. Look at Palestine since it lost EU and US funding, its fallen apart. Stop bying oil from Iran and the same thing will happen there. You can also pull out of Iraq and let Saudia and Iran duke it out in Iraq. Just dont be surprised when Turkey invades 'Kurdistan' though.

                  Hi, I agree on that one (and not only because of your name). The US isn't able to handle the Iraq. How could they even dream about having Iraq AND Iran under real control. And Iran's miltitary is stronger then Husseins was. Robert

                  which is irrelevant. We easily won the Iraq war but soon became hampered by a politically correct policing action, studiously avoiding, for example, Sadre (sp?) and his city of thugs and thieves. Do you imagine that mistakes like that would be repeated? The WWII model of take no prisoners would send many more on to paradise.

                    They'll just nuke em and about bloody time too. You keep giving ground to these fuckers and they'll just keep coming until there is no ground left to give. If that's the world you're happy living in then do nothing.

                      If you'd read the article, though if you weren't able I understand, the talk is not of invasion. Interesting to see such an aggressive response.

                        Perhaps. But none of that would have the effect of driving the left in the west to violence. Which would be my entire plan. Once we have all our cats in one bag, we can beat them all to death with one club.

                          I read the article and formed an opinion of it. I made an accurate comment which was very pertinent to the article. Pilger has a strong political bias. The evidence he presents is carefully selected and spun to support his political bias. His articles are therefore of little value - unless you enjoy that kind of spin. Hence my comparison with Bush and Blair. To form an informed opinion of what is happening in the middle east, it is best to seek out the least biased reporting - you won't find that with Pilger. Sorry if the truth offends you.

                              This is from personal conversation (this morning in fact, It's so much fun being the only non knee jerk liberal in the office). You mean to say you have never met anyone who says the think Bush and Blair are comparable to Ahmadinejad and OBL? Anti US sentiment has grown so much in the UK that this mornings gibbering wasn't even restricted to a particular administration, Americans are the new Nazis (though it was Israel a couple of weeks ago). And yes, if our governments had truly been seized by anyone comparable to Mahmood Ahmadinejad it would be your duty to overthrow them.

                                    Because the left is the ultimate enabler of extremist Islam. It is the left that holds our hands behind our backs while Islamic fascist beat us. It is the left that tries to sow the seeds of doubts in western minds about confronting threats such as Islamic fundamnetalism and it is the left that encourages such threats by establishing a moral agenda which they refuse to enforce against any culture aside form their own. Kill the left, and Islamic radicalism will die with it.

                                    Modern liberalism has never achieved anything other than giving Secularists something to feel morally superior about

                                      OK, I agree, see my latest topic about liberal middle class white guilt.

                                      Truth is the subjection of reality to an individuals perception

                                        You're an intelligent person who knows how to use the internet and I'm certainly not going to waste time holding your hand. When you read an article, just ask yourself where they are coming from and what their track record is. Think for yourself rather than just swollowing whatever is fed to you.

                                        That's good to hear because you sounded somewhat peeved that I exposed the article's author for what he is.

                                          The United States is planning what will be a catastrophic attack on Iran. For the Bush cabal, the attack will be a way of "buying time" for its dis aster in Iraq. In announcing what he called a "surge" of American troops in Iraq, George W Bush identified Iran as his real target. "We will interrupt the flow of support [to the insurgency in Iraq] from Iran and Syria," he said. "And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq." I don't know which of this author's traits I should be in awe of: His total ignorance of military strategy or his rampant paranoia. Never the less, his idiocy aside, the truly disturbing thing about his editorial id that recent history has taught that eveything he assert is possible. Could the Iranian leadership be wondering the same thing?

                                          “Some have an idea that the reason we in this country discard things so readily is because we have so much. The facts are exactly opposite - the reason we have so much is simply because we discard things so readily. We replace the old in return for something that will serve us better.”--Alfred P. Sloan
