  YELLOW RIBBON : Show your support!

  a lot of us can have different opinions about going war... some can support it... other can protest it... and thats what freedom of speech is all about.

  but there's a threshold and we're past that threshold... we're at war.

  so no matter what your opinions were before or even now no one can change the fact that we are at war and that won't change no matter how much those that oppose it try.

  i saw a fight break out on the platform between an elder and a unbelieving husband who accused the elder of f---ing his wife.

  he then threw the lectern on the floor and pushed the elder.

  it was cool.......

  At one hall, we had this demented Gomer-'hovah who would sit in the front row. During the talk he would stand up, turn around facing the crowd and do a Nixon impression, holding his hands up in victory signs and shaking his cheeks.

  He is one of those "single weirdo 'hovah dudes" that I posted about a while back.

  Minimus,

  That IS cool!

  A group of apostates disrupting a meeting would also be cool.

  Someone feigning a demon attack at the KH would be very interesting.

  Don't wear a push up bra when playing golf. Your boobs will fall out when your drive off the tee and it is hard to put them back in.

  Pics, please.

  Don't make me get out my "wood".

  there seems to be quite a few concerned people out the regarding this war in iraq and for good reason.

  so what exaclty is bothering you about it, does it involve the very real fact that alot of innocent blood could/will be shed ?

  are you fearing this could all be a part of bible/wts prophecy ?

  Great points, Freeman. I agree.
  

  War truly is hell, and I wish that it didn't have to come to this. France is going to lose BIG TIME over this.

  My daughter was planning a trip to France and Italy this summer. Not going to happen. Even if there were no war, France played dirty, and I will henceforth make damn sure nothing I buy comes from France.(Are there things made in France?)

  I hope that millions will do the same.

  Well, another blow for the airline/travel industry.

  The real victims of "peace"

  by expatbrit in

  2. friends

  the victims are the children, of course.. in 1999 unicef (the united nations children's fund) conducted a survey in iraq to determine the effect of sanctions on iraq, imposed by the united nations.. what had sanctions done?the surveys reveal that in the south and center of iraq -- home to 85 per cent of the country's population -- under-5 mortality more than doubled from 56 deaths per 1000 live births (1984-1989) to 131 deaths per 1000 live births (1994-1999).

  likewise infant mortality -- defined as the death of children in their first year -- increased from 47 per 1000 live births to 108 per 1000 live births within the same time frame.

  the surveys indicate a maternal mortality ratio in the south and center of 294 deaths per 100,000 live births over the ten-year period 1989 to 1999. .

  Simon,

  Claiming he bares sole responsibility is an 'easy' and naive belief. Some important questions surely are:

  • Who put him there?
  • Who kept him there?
  • Who gave him the means to do what he did?

  Don't these people bear some responsibility? Of course now we're getting onto an uncomfortable topic where answers are not as clear cut or simple. If Saddam was responsible for 5,000 deaths and is a 'monster', what does this make someone who causes 50,000 or 250,000 deaths? Surely, they must be a monster too?

  Pure BS 'ol chap.

  Sometimes supporting someone goes 'sideways' on you.

  Saddam murdered his way into power. It certainly wasn't the U.S. that has kept him in power, at least since '90.

  Well, let's see, he got his nuke capabilty from France and Italy, which thankfully got wiped out by the Israelis in the early 80's. So, I'm not sure if Saddam is using that same technology or not.

  I guess Russia, or the former Soviet Union supplied most of Saddam's armament. Scuds, T-72's, etc. Ha! You should see the turrets pop off those T-72s when a 120mm projectile from a U.S. Abrams tank hits them. Funny!

  You haven't apologised for the hundreds of thousands of innoceents that have already been killed so why will a few more matter eh?

  Simon,

  Are you actually talking about the innocents that Saddam is responsible for? If he played by the rules, they'd be alive today.

  Thanks, expat.

  Wonder why these things aren't brought up at the televised UN meetings. Maybe I missed it.

  It all boils down to Saddam being solely responsible for the suffering of his people. Since he's evidently a sociopath/murderer, I expect that Saddam could give a rat's ass about the welfare of his people. I mean look, he's willing to let the U.S. wipe them out!(mostly his military)

  The U.S. already has the RIGHT to wage war on IRAQ

  by starScream in

  2. beliefs

  whether a u.s. lead invasion of iraq is necessary or not the united states has that right and here is why.

  in 1990 the u.n. security council authorized the use of military force to expel the iraqi army from kuwait.

  british and u.s. forces were the dominant contributors to the coalition.

  I wonder what you pro-Saddams would say if we let Saddam alone and he started using WMD AGAIN, and started invading other countries AGAIN.
