    Debka.com, the great Israeli news site has detailed info on the operations to seize smuggled Uranium headed to Iraq. I have no doubt that both the US and Israel cannot wait much longer before taking out Saddam. http://www.debka.com[^]

        The article below would be funny if it wouldn't be written by a country that could have the bomb much faster than Saddam. "Arafat-Saddam-Bin Laden Links Surface" core of the article: "a three-man Palestinian cell from Ramallah who trained in Iraq with Iraqi instructors in the execution of strikes against Israeli targets - in the company of al Qaeda terrorists."

              Yes, like 'Weak Europeans' not liking Israel's existing methods like troops from Israel gunning down kids? And if it was not for the US, I think you would find Israel very isolated - and weak. In fact it already is I think. The economy has gone down the pan from what I can tell. And anyway, Israel of all countries should be the fisrt to think twice about attacking Saddam, as if it is true about him having Nuclear capabilities in the near future along with chmical and biological weapons, combined with the will to use them freely - is it wise just to attack Iraq. It gives him more reason to fight back. He is looking for an escuse. As for Europe, its not within firing range of his rockets, but I will think you will find Israel is.

                          First off, in case you're already thinking it, I've not got anything against Israel, and utterly understand that it has the right to defend itself. Further to that, I would rather see Saddam gone, and would support military action sooner than later. What got me going was 'Weak Europeans'. I think you can find the UK can stand up for itself and backs action. Yet I consider myself European. Please don't generalise people. Its insulting. As for the Palestine situation, I don't think it's been helped by Sharon's cowboy tactics. And its not the first time he gone all out. I think I remember he was a General in Lebanon(20 years ago) where what seems to be a massacre occurred. I think he surrounded a village, and killed all 3000 inhabitants. His willingness to use force first reflects badly on Israel, and does little to give it international support - except the US where there is a known and very powerful political lobby, which Bush needs to please. As for terrorism, France, Spain (Basque), UK (IRA), have all be subject to prolonged conflict, but at no time, did they go about sending in tanks and bulldozers etc. In the UK the political negotiations seem to have finally paid off after 30-40 years of conflict, while the government could have easily gone in and flattened the place with troops, as the supporters of the IRA lived in particular districts. Admittedly, it’s a little harder (probably impossible) to negotiate with people who blow them selves up to die for God, but you need to ask yourself why they feel the need to do this. They feel they have been wronged - how, and what can be done to improve things. It's not an army that you're fighting. An army will call a truce, surrender. That’s why the current strategy is not working. They have been forced out of the land, and from what I can tell been moved to a desert. And rare for the Middle East, a desert with no oil. So they have no chance of making a living. They are forced to live in poverty. As for a place to hide, I don't think I need it. The thing is, Europe has seen more war than it wants. You seem to forget that. Israel is a very young nation. For the amount of bloodshed that has occured its just as well the weapons were so basic. The battle of the Somme in World War 1. Over a million people died in a day for 50m of land. These things are not easily forgotten. And as for filling the forums with opinions, I don't mind. There are many people here with much stronger opinions than yourself. Nothing wrong with expressing them either. By getting them o

The EU only seem interested in making Europe 'uniform'. There was even some directive on bananas having a maximum amount of curvature!!!! :wtf: Could you imagine the US government telling the southern states they couldn't have hot sauces or foods? Or that you couldn't hunt in the northern states? Europe is a nice place for its diversity. I don't want to go to Sweden to find all the signs in English for goodness sakes!!! :) B.

Could you imagine the US government telling the southern states they couldn't have hot sauces or foods? Or that you couldn't hunt in the northern states? Yes, I know about these absurd ideas. But these propositions have never been passed AFAIK. I remember when Sweden was about to join the EU. Rumours had it that EU laws would force us to grow cuecumbers with a specific curvature. Cuecumbers that deviated from the guidelines would not be fit for food! :confused: But thankfully, this never happened. The EU bureacrats even threatened to take away our smokeless tobacco (called Snus in swedish). Cigarettes was no problem for the EU bureacrats. The thing is, smoking kills thousands in Sweden every year, Snus kills perhaps 10 or 50. Thankfully the Snus stayed. If it had been taken away we would've had potentially 800 000 new smokers! This idiotic uniformation just ticks people off. But I think the EU has learned a thing or two during the last couple of years. We have to keep in mind that the EU as it is today is a very young creature. I have faith in EU. Given time it'll adapt and actually work for all members.

Em.... who gives you or anybody the right to "free" people who don't necessarily see themselves as not being free??? From what I can see most of his people don't see themselves as having a lack of freedom.. maybe I'm wrong here, I'm not claiming to be right.. Just making an osbervation. Regards, Brian Dela :-)

                                        First off, in case you're already thinking it, I've not got anything against Israel, and utterly understand that it has the right to defend itself. Further to that, I would rather see Saddam gone, and would support military action sooner than later. What got me going was 'Weak Europeans'. I think you can find the UK can stand up for itself and backs action. Yet I consider myself European. Please don't generalise people. Its insulting. As for the Palestine situation, I don't think it's been helped by Sharon's cowboy tactics. And its not the first time he gone all out. I think I remember he was a General in Lebanon(20 years ago) where what seems to be a massacre occurred. I think he surrounded a village, and killed all 3000 inhabitants. His willingness to use force first reflects badly on Israel, and does little to give it international support - except the US where there is a known and very powerful political lobby, which Bush needs to please. As for terrorism, France, Spain (Basque), UK (IRA), have all be subject to prolonged conflict, but at no time, did they go about sending in tanks and bulldozers etc. In the UK the political negotiations seem to have finally paid off after 30-40 years of conflict, while the government could have easily gone in and flattened the place with troops, as the supporters of the IRA lived in particular districts. Admittedly, it’s a little harder (probably impossible) to negotiate with people who blow them selves up to die for God, but you need to ask yourself why they feel the need to do this. They feel they have been wronged - how, and what can be done to improve things. It's not an army that you're fighting. An army will call a truce, surrender. That’s why the current strategy is not working. They have been forced out of the land, and from what I can tell been moved to a desert. And rare for the Middle East, a desert with no oil. So they have no chance of making a living. They are forced to live in poverty. As for a place to hide, I don't think I need it. The thing is, Europe has seen more war than it wants. You seem to forget that. Israel is a very young nation. For the amount of bloodshed that has occured its just as well the weapons were so basic. The battle of the Somme in World War 1. Over a million people died in a day for 50m of land. These things are not easily forgotten. And as for filling the forums with opinions, I don't mind. There are many people here with much stronger opinions than yourself. Nothing wrong with expressing them either. By getting them o

                                          Sorry, my mistake. He was the defence minister, but did not tell the PM he was invading Lebabon. The 800 muslims were in a refugee camp, which was being protected by the Israeli army. Says it all.
