    What on earth does your reply have to do with his question? :confused: Really, you want to continue the discussion, stay on topic. This is not the place to flex your non sequitur muscles. Cheers, Vikram.

          What the US needs to do, to confirm with its own elated standards of political correctness, is to have as its next President, a Muslim woman of African and Asian lineage, who is also gay. Then the rest of the world will have to shut up for 4 years :-D

            They have fought two wars before.

            From Wikipedia :

            On May 14, 1948, before the expiring of the British Mandate of Palestine on midnight of the May 15, 1948, the State of Israel was proclaimed. The surrounding Arab states supported the Palestinian Arabs in rejecting both the Partition Plan and the establishment of Israel, and the armies of six Arab nations attacked the State of Israel. Over the next 15 months Israel captured an additional 26% of the Mandate territory west of the Jordan river and annexed it to the new state. Most of the Arab population fled or were expelled during the war. The continuing conflict between Israel and the Arab world resulted in a lasting displacement that persists to this day.

            The first one was fought when their country was one day old. This country has been around now for more than 50 years. They must have grown some since then.

                  The word Crusade has two meanings

                  Main Entry: 1cru·sade Pronunciation: krü-'sAd Function: noun Etymology: blend of Middle French croisade & Spanish cruzada; both ultimately from Latin cruc-, crux cross 1 capitalized : any of the military expeditions undertaken by Christian powers in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries to win the Holy Land from the Muslims 2 : a remedial enterprise undertaken with zeal and enthusiasm

                  He meant the second one. Re the real crusade : Almost all of the lands the crusades were fought over are in Israel now.

                        That may be true. But it isn't because they hate Muslims, it's because they are too busy pursuing their own interests. It isn't right to wage jihad on someone because he is too busy to help you.

                                I answered your question directly, the Soviets would have taken the region by default given a power vacume created by the US not acting through what ever proxies in the region were the most convinient for our purposes or that could be propped up by us by what ever means necessary. Say what you want to about the means, the end was not a nuclear holocaust or a world subjegated to Moscow, so obviously we did something correctly. And, BTW, you're welcome. But you are correct, just as the left never appreciated the danger of the USSR, and was horrified at its final defeat which gave the US unparalleled hegemony, any success we might have elsewhere, including a perfectly justifiable and legal invasion of Iraq, is also seen as a dangerous increase in AMerican hegemony by the left. It is perfectly understandable that the left would feel threatened by such an overt exercise in American exceptionalism. Nothing is more important to the left than 'balanceing out' the capitalistic and social power of the US - regardless of how dangerous the threat that is required to do it. But get used to it, we saved the world from fascism, we saved the world from communism and we are going to save the world from Islamic fundamentalism, and in the process we are going to save it from the totalitarian leftists of the west. "Patriotism is the first refuge of a patriot."

                                This is a complete non sequitur. No doubt the Soviet Union wished to extend its influence, but the Islamic fundamentalists of Iran, for example, did not have obvious common cause with the atheistic communists of the Soviet Union, nor did any other nation in the region. I don't believe for a second that the neglect of human rights considerations was a strategic necessity; rather, it resulted from a lack of concern for human rights.

                                Actually, I would be delighted to see Iraq fulfill George Bush's predictions of a thriving secular democracy, acting as a model for the rest of the Middle East. That would be something substantial to balance off against the illegal Iraq war, the associated damage to international institutions, the increased incentive for defensive nuclear proliferation among countries fearful that they will suffer Iraq's fate, the loss of moral authority resulting from US military aggression and its resort to torture, and the substantial boost to international terrorism resulting from outrage at the US invasion. Alas, a thriving secular democracy doesn't appear to be in prospect. Rather, it seems likely that Iraq will have an Islamic government that oppresses women and has strong theocratic elements. Far from saving the world from Islamic fundamentalism, the Iraq war has reinforced it, both within Iraq and elsewhere. And of course things could get worse, all the way up to a civil war and destabilisation of the whole region. John Carson

                                      No it would have been deemed a "big mistake" :-)

                                          From a newspaper article :

                                          Some Britain-based young Muslims have described themselves as feeling "betrayed" by Britain's decision to take part in the American-led invasion of Iraq.

                                          Saddam's (Baath Party) was a secular Arab Nationalist regime. America's first attack on Iraq was to free Kuwait, a conservative Islamic country. If the first attack wasn't seen as anti-Islam, why is the second one seen as anti-Islam ?

                                          Because 30 thousand innocent Islamic men, women, and children have been killed. This war is also a betrayal of Britain and the values we hold, honesty, fair play, supporting the under dog etc. We have suffered, and will suffer, because of Blairs decision to take this country into a war with no legal or moral backing.
