lots of opinions here on this site.
but i haven't seen anyone post an alternative to this war.
i know many of you support it and many others recoil at the thought of this war.
why not have the CIA go in and bump him and his sons off. They can do it too............no one would know it was them
Isn't that was what was tried the first night with the decapitation attack? Who needs triple X or James Bond when you have GPS guided bunker busters?
LB, I'll join you in hijacking your own thread.
i went to my first peace rally and march tonight.
it was incredible.
at one time there were probably 350 of us all joined in solidarity.
LOL, Charlie. You expressing your right to free speech and expression is a constituional guaruntee. Others doing the same is the lunatic fringe.
Maybe the French will ask for it back? Since we are such a horrible nation now? No problem from me, just pay us back for what we spent with private funds to restore and repair it.
Maybe they should be thinking about why it was given in the first place. That being, we like seeing everyone with liberty and that includes those under the control of a ruthless dictator, even if our former benefactors of a statue wish them to stay enslaved so that they can make billions of dollars off of oil contracts.
interesting reading .... i can't wait for 30+ years time when documents are de-classified so we can maybe get to the detail.. osama bin laden was once praised.
ronald reagan and george bush's role in opening the floodgates of terrorism.
osama bin laden created by the us.
Simon drew attention to reports that at least need to be read with an open mind. What do you think of them?
There's nothing to discuss, as far as I'm concerned. Just because someone was once your friend and subsequently turned on you and murdered hosts of your citizens, doesn't mean you give them a free pass.
As I've said before, if you give your child a sling shot and they misuse it, it is your responsibility to take it away from them, not let them continue using it.
Now, since the title is things coming back to bite you in the ass, what about the current situation of the Israelis and Palestinians and Britains failure to honor the establishment of both a Jewish and a Palestinain state, right after WW1? Since many have tied Israel to this situation, maybe that is also biting us in the ass today?
Why not try an open mind on that?
the following are web sites for several organizations sponsoring programs for member of the armed forces overseas.
service member do value and appreciate such expression of support:
It is the soldier, not the reporter
who gives us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer
who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves
beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by
the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.

ok i will try to say this in a most gentle way...the soldiers are brainwashed people who fight for more than dubious reasons....so there is no reason in my opinion to support them.
Realist, that is the biggest pile of horse puckie you have ever stated. You and others have and enjoy your freedoms because those brainwashed fools you don't feel merit support fought and died for them. You do have the right not to support them, but we also have the right to state they do merit our support and I give it fully.

But there are many Americans who would deny the French their right to protest.
Robyn, protesting is the right of every citizen in a free society. However, it also carries with it consequences and if you can't accept those consequences, maybe you shouldn't protest. Boycotting France on purchasing their goods isn't denying them anything, it's just others freedom of expression. We are free to buy or not to buy, as we see fit. They are free to offer them for sale anywhere.

Would this include the original agreement of Britains after WW1 that mandated the establishment of a Jewish and an Arab Palestine and the subsequent halving of the land intended for the Jews?
that phrase -- along with "weapons of mass destruction" -- is a term that i hope soon passes out of popular use.
i wonder who coined that phrase: "shock and awe.
" i'm sure they are terribly proud of themselves... the idiots.
Shock and Awe was taken from the title of a book written by a defense strategist and some others. He was interviewed last night on Fox News.

Hey, what do you think about the French expressing their personal liberties?
I have no problem with anyone expressing their personjal liberties, until the interfere with mine. That the protesters in France decided to destroy a McDonalds just shows me what cowards they really are. take it out on an inaimate object.
Some people don't seem to like that very much.
To each their own. I fought for peoples rights to peacefully protest, not to block the streets and fight with the police and such.
And, I bet that the first time that our new allies, the liberated Iraqis, protest what we do as a nation, we will turn on them for using the very freedoms we gave them.
We liberated Japan and Germany and one of them is not supporting the current endeavor. Have we turned on them? We liberated France too, along with other allies, of course, and the only thing being done about their stance is some people expressing their right of choice by not buying French products. isn't that also their choice and freedom?
As evil as many want to make America sound, we do not invade and destroy countries simple becuase they don't agree with us. That would be something Saddam would do.
people who starve to death are still just as dead as those shot in the head.
With the billions of dollars Saddam has raked in under the food for oil program, how is that the food didn't reach the people? Could it be that Saddam took the money for himself and his weapons and palaces?
With Iraq liberated, maybe the food will finally reach the people.
