White House report on Sadam Hussein
-
Another true believer in the long long list of idiots. We don't want a war with Iraq. We want to remove a tyrant from power. There is nothing in Iraq we couldn't get from somewhere else. If it was a true "war" it would last about 20 min and be over with. Oh wow! Another bloody misguided soul who thinks that US has the hand of God to remove or put tyrants to run countries. Grow out of your shell and start learning about other side of the planet. The evidence against Iraq supporting terrorists (especially the Sept. 11 terrorists) is flimsy at best. Countries like Pakistan has more links to Al-Qaida and the likes than Iraq. And then we will kill you and then your childern can hate us and then we will kill them ad infinitum.. Or they will kill themselves trying to emulate their father. Who do you think will last the longest - your family line or the US. The insanity has to end some where either thru attrition or education. Such comments are uncalled for. I am just saying that the roots of hatrad will not go away through mindless destruction. You cannot hold someone guilty until proven innocent. Same thing happened in Afghanistan. Forget Osama's children, you could not even get the man and killed thousand innocents instead and probably watered his family tree. So MORON, sorry to disappoint you, the hatrad will last much longer than US or people like you. Anyways, did not want to fuel a war. And I am sure all you supporters of FREE SPEECH AND FREEDOM that you have been harking about, would not mind me having a different view than yours. Or wait, true democracy means everyone has to agree with everyone. Forgot that for a sec.. Without struggle, there is no progress
I'm sorry, but you are the fool in this discussion. You're a fool because you can't open your eyes because of your hatred of the west.

Only the collective countries under the UN can do this. John Smith wrote: I like to see them try - as Pakistan is a Nuclear Power Just because they have nukes, does that mean their people shouldn't be allowed to vote and have the same freedoms enjoyed by ourselves.

Foolish words. Probably spoken by many superpowers at different times. You are reiterating my point of US being a bully. We have the right of might. We CAN do it therefore it behooves us to do it. And if it is the will of our Nation we WILL do it. And the other side of the planet better learn about us. A jihad and an AK ain't much to a F16. Yes, let us suck the oil resources till they last. Let us kill everyone there. Who gives a damn. That is precisely what is the sole interest of US as you echoed. And you ask for examples of US sucking resources. Are you really that dumb. In 20 -30 years oil will no longer be the primary source of fuel and at that time all paradigms will change. We don't really care if you hate us or not - just as long as you don't try to hurt us. We will just go on our merry way and let the desert reclaim its own. Yes, typical American view. Your world is concentrated in your country and you have no idea of anything beyond it. No wonder most of the Americans I meet here, never wanna set foot back in the US. And without progress there is no future. And guess where all the progress is baby - here - not there. Anyways, did not want to start a word war like I said. I guess we will have to see how things unfold. Saddam will go 8which is a good thing), but it is a fact that Iraq will be raped economically by the US. And no need to say it, I know you are proud of that.

Isreal is full of immigrants that is occupying land of the palistine people. Isreal should be ashamed of it self, It is doing the same to the palistine that the germans did to the Jews Shame on You.
John Smith wrote: It is doing the same to the palistine that the germans did to the Jews John Smith wrote: Shame on You. no.. shame on you for saying something as stupid as that. Israel is not gassing, cooking or performing medical experiments on the Palistinians. disgusting

This is not a joking matter Sharon and Israel are like Saddam and Iraq Both have violated UN resolutions Both have attacked other countries (Iraq on Kuwait) (Isreal on Pallistine) Both have killed innocent people Both are butchers in my eye
John Smith wrote: Both have attacked other countries (Iraq on Kuwait) (Isreal on Pallistine) Depends what you mean by attack? Did Israel use force? of course, but it was in self defence. John Smith wrote: Both have killed innocent people Any army general will tell you, performing operations in densly populated areas can result in innocents being killed. However, in most cases, it has been known terrorists that have been killed. With the Palestinians, it is exactly the opposite, they purposely kill civilians with bombs. That is their aim. To maim and kill. John Smith wrote: Both are butchers in my eye I guess you see things wrong.

If you would be prepared to face possible death , then you have the moral justification in asking others to do so for you . If you wish to hide behind a TV screen and just watch Gulf War II on the 6 o'clock news then you do not. I for one would not want to go to War with Iraq based on the evidence I have seen . Granted , the mans a nutter , granted it would be better world without him , but I am not prepared to lay my life on the line for what appears to be highly subjective evidence and dubya scrabbling around for new ideas in the war against terror. To be honest, I don't need to see any evidence that he's got weapons of mass destruction. To me this is a side issue. He's a dictator who doesn't allow free and fair elections and oppresses his people. That's enough for me to say to my government, What are you going to do about him. The same goes for any country that isn't a democracy. I think the UN should be doing more to overthrow these regimes. And yes, there is enough evidence for me to pick-up a gun and put my life on the line for other people's freedoms. We should have finished him in 91. Michael Programming is great.

Answer my first question! Where the heck are you??? Its apparent that you either have never lived in a free country or you have been completely brain washed. Marx was a fool. Communism hurts the people it professes to help the most! Capitalism is the natural system of barter and trade between individuals. Money is simply a standard (govt supported) method of exchange. The individual is the one that worships money, not all capitalists. I could say that communism is the merger of the religion of humanism and government. A lethal combination if you ask me.

"If you are going through hell, keep going." - Sir Winston ChurchillAt least you are prepared to discuss the point . Many of the opinions I see will not do that , they seem to hark back to the McArthur witch hunts when people were persecuted for their beleifs . Communism took Russia , a largely agricultural country and turned it into a more modern industrial country . It also then went on to defeat Nazi Germany with the help of the economic and military might of the capitolist countries . It also went on to provide awful living standards for many of its people , so I am not arguing that it was brilliant . Communism is not a panacea , but to ignore possibilities outside of capitolism is short sighted . we are now entering a globalisation phase of development and probably a new dogma will emerge . Its just when people dismiss whole swathes of thinking just because of the name it really pisses me off . Oh no, you can't fool me. There ain't no Sanity Clause!

There isn't a single rich communist country where its people have freedom to choose their leaders and speak openly against the government. That makes it a flawed system. You could claim a few socialist success stories, but I would argue that those countries fall far short of their potential. Like Sweden. Pure capitalism is unattainable. The commodities markets are the only systems that even come close to pure capitalism. Therefore, a form of watered down capitalism has emerged where markets are influenced by outside forces like advertisements, popularity, etc., and government. If there were a communist country that did not retain control by force, I would not be against it. But that would never happen because people would not choose communism (not for long anyway).

Which was directly after the Palestinians (and most all the other arab nations in the area) made a surprise attack on Israel on a Jewish Holy Day. I believe it is also known as the 7 day war. Israel won the war decisively, taking territory, some of which it turned into a buffer zone. Now the Palestinians want it back. Some call it "Deacon Blues", I call it "Sore Losers". :laugh: Now...what HS/College did you go to so I'll know not to send my kids there? :| ed Every time I walk into a singles bar I can hear Mom's wise words: "Don't pick that up, you don't know where it's been!"

Look: I do not want my child to go to school where there are check points for guns.(It tells something about country, isn't it?) I do not want to worry about my child will be kidnapped from park, playground or school. I do not want my child grow with Coca-Cola in school. I do not want to eat food and do not know is it GM or not. I do not like country where it is up to you to write your race, but it is offered(You see, I have choice ;)) to apply for some position. (I could not be Japanese in US after bombing Pearl Harbor) I do not like to live in country where 50%(first in world) are divorced.(Can you suppose why it is so?) I do not want to worry about next "9/11". I do not want to enjoy in my standard which is based on wars. As you can see, it is my life style, nothing more.

Because I'm a self-righteous bastard who believes he knows best. :-D It is up to the people of those countries to decide how they should live. Sadly most of the countries you mention don't allow their people to exercise their right in a free and democratic way. This is what needs correcting. It isn't arrogance, it should be the given right of every person on this planet to have the right to vote. If they want to vote for the same then fair enough - as long as after a certain length of time they are allowed to vote again. Our western democracies aren't perfect - but it is sure a lot better than the alternative. Michael Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software.

Problem is who attacked first. Ask Palestinians, and then Israel. You will hear 2 stories. You want to believe you, why? It is history? Winners make history. Do not forget that attack is not only by using weapons. BTW: If Israel's war was to defense itself, why took new territories? It is preventive defense, like US does now !? ;) Yes, really, yes for sure. You hit me, and I hit you and take your home. It was fighting, and it is my now. Fine? Are you sure Israel won war and territory?
