>Not at all - but nobody seemed to "care" when the US attacked Afghanistan... But everyone is all fired-up because the US and UK attacked Iraq I will re-iterate. The US attacked Afghanistan because it was the base of operatiosn for Bin Laden, and the regime admitted to supporting Bin Laden. They also refused to co-operate in any way with the US forces seeking Bin Laden. Ergo, it was a completely different scenario and cannot be compared. >I made a related point - when Russia attacked Afghanistan, they were part of one of the World governing bodies, but nobody jumped up and down because of >it And I pointed out that Russia and China are communist countries, and are not held to the same expectations by their public, or your own, governing their actions. It is very simple: 1) You agree that it is immaterial the reasons for the war against Iraq, and it is irrelevant whether or not the reasos for the war were fabrications and lies by Tony Blair and the Bush Administration. If you do not agree with 1) then I cannot understand your lack of comprehension at world outrage over the issue. This is 2003. Not the 1990s or earlier. The world has Changed.If you doubt this fact, check the news.There is a European Union. A Middle East Peace Plan. There was 9/11. The World Has Changed. >If it doesn't effect me, I tend to ignore it - but my problem is that everyone is jumping on the US and UK because the proof isn't there yet... Note I >used the word "yet" How do the suffering people of Iraq affect you? You're contradicting yourself by expressing such depth of concern for their well being. >So, a Communist country is ALLOWED to attack other countries, while we're not? Ooooh, let's change to Communism and then we can attack anyone any time we >want!!! You answered this question yourself. Less is expected from them than from the United States and the UK. If you want Britain to be judged as a communist dictatorship is judged then be my guest. >Oh, and we're not a "good" democracy in the UK as the government doesn't listen to the views of the people or the other MP's - Blair took it almost upon >himself to declare war - his own ministers were resigning because of it >Is THAT the action of a "good" democratic leader? I think not! Again..you contradict yourself. Saying the above, you are against the public outcry against them and a call by the public for Justice,Accountability, and Clarity. >Oh, in that case lets leave them to be killed by the regime - have you seen the mass graves? >How about letting him get away with breaking the conditions of his original surrender? Oh, it doesn't matter if he breaks them, does it? Is it more worthy of them to die by the actions and subsequent inaction of the US and the UK? -Gel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Host with the leader in ColdFusion hosting.
