Again, if they didn't actually KNOW where Bin Laden was, how were they meant to co-operate? There was meant to be ties between Iraq and Bin Laden - so if we change the war instead of being about the WMD to be about him, then it's alright is 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. So you ACCEPT if a Communist country attacks another? It's just par for the course is it? Wow, that means that Russia or China could go on rampages across the globe and you'd go "Well, they're Communist, so it's alright" > 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.

Oh, and look at the Middle East Peace Plan - it's like the Northern Ireland peace plan, one group decides not to accept it and it's all a lot of talk... The world is continuing to change, but does that mean that we should now jump on the US and UK for anthing that people "don't like", but other actions are acceptable? > How do the suffering people of Iraq affect you? > You're contradicting yourself by expressing such depth of > concern for their well being. The suffering DOESN'T effect me, but I'd like the governments to stand up and overtly help the Iraqi people - there's too much concentration on what was or wasn't done, rather than what IS being done now to help them - the media always concentrates on the little things that are wrong, rather than any topic that might be in any way positive > You answered this question yourself.

I am complaining about how Blair treats this country as "his own to do with what he wants" which is pretty much what a Communist situation, isn't it? So, to me I AM judging it by communist standards... > Is it more worthy of them to die by the actions and > subsequent inaction of the US and the UK? So, you think that the Iraq soldiers standing there with guns, and then shooting them, and they die, that's inaction? What are they MEANT to do? Naughty Saddam <slaps wrists> There, that's how they should have dealt with it, right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
