we are doing now is becoming apolicgists for a much wider problem, that is the fact that we still have global terrorism on a scale never seen before, and in countries which have never experienced this before, this is the problem, and tis is the one thing which will keep the war in Iraq going infinitum.
What made ME sick was Bahu's repeated denials of Saddam's crimes to back up his claims. That has nothing to do with America as such In fact I have not even once written an apologist sort of writging for the criminal deeds of Saddam. Iam opposed to the American invasion which has no moral or legal sancti
In fact the leak had come from the White House and we will hear more about it in the days to come. Elections are round the corner and this issue will gain ground. I have no doubt that Bush has done something quite wrong but whether it can be proved in a court of law is another matter.
the UK you can hear all the usual far left suspects decrying the war using the usual rhetoric of stopping 'American Imperialism'. Now, while I agree that it is deeply unfair to say that all those who oppose(d) the war, were supporters of Saddam Hussein - a cheap rhetorical blow probably flowing from a bad conscience and a weak a
Fewer people die in Iraq now than before the invasion.b) The US and Britain have an ally located between Syria and Iran.c) Iran and Syria are now both surrounded by states unfriendly to them. You have just to see the newpapers and the reports of embedded journalists to know how wrong you are.
Bahu is a Muslim or somebody sympathetic to the Muslim religion.He wants to see the Muslim culture among the world's greatest and most influential and valuable cultures. The truth
It's a system that watches the world disintegrate. It's a system that caused hardship and death by you think that you can somehow "prove" that Bush's policies are wrong by showin
The classic philosophy of conservatism relied on the principle of small government, minimal engagement in other parts of the world, fiscal prudence and social hammony. Now does Bush represent any of these principles. You decide. As far as Iraq is conserned to say that there is mayhem there is a gross understatement.
The debate today is not whether Saddam was a bad ruler or a mass murderer. He could be both for all we care. The only point is the US intervention no invasion has not made thing better for the average Iraqi living outside the Green Zone. I do not y who have responded are aware of the terrible situation in Iraq. Shiaa death squads are a reality in Iraq today. The fact that six months after the electiobn no government has been formed is prooif.
I find it very sad, bahu, that your differences with the Bush administration have blinded you to how corrupt and evil the UN's support of the Hussein regime was. I remember you talking about how Iraqis were starving under those sanctions. We find out that not only were they a sham, but that the main anti-war nations were both profiting illegally from them, and were poised with deals already inked to harden his regime the moment the sanctions were lifte
A powerful neoconservative voice has risen against the prophet of neoconservatism--George Bush. Francis Fukuyama, known all over the world for his provocative and yes, celebratory thesis about the end of history, has written a withering attack on Bush and the betrayal of the neoconservative agenda. The carapace of ideas such as preventive war,benevolent hegemony, war
I am using the term Imperial in the same manner as does Niall Ferguson in his Collosus. The war in Iraq has become a nighmare for the US military and the political establishment and even Rice admits that thousans mistzakes were made. It would be wrong to say that conquest of Iraq was the only motive but all conquerin g powers justify their conquests using the rhetoric of peace, mission civiltrice and civilization.
The Chairman of the House International Relations Committee, a ranking member of the Republican Party has in a recent speech made the following observations: Our Power, then has the grave liability of rendering our theories about the world immune from failure. But by becoming deaf to easily discern
Ome more point. How about organized "contract labour". Bring tham accross the border make them finish the job and ship them right back. In contract labour market is opened up then the problem of illegal immigration can be stemmed.
Illegal immigration is more than a legal problem. In fact thje crime rate amongst the illegal immigrants is higher than the national average. I personally feel that giving amnesty is only a surrender to illegality.
Looks really comfy to me. Many many happy hours.
the only way to get illegals competing with legals would be to LOWER the minimum wage so that employers would have LESS incentive to hire illegals. Sociologists are concerned about rising inequality in the US. Lowering the minimum wage inorder to stimulate a competitiion between Americans and migrant w
In fact I agree with you. I was running an economic argument in place of the highly charged "we are a nation of immiogrants" sort of emotional tug at the heart strings. I would only say that increse in minimum wage must precede rather than follow the reform in the immigration law. Yes I think it is unfair that some employers depend on cheap labour from across the borders and they must be made to conform. Bush wants to enforce a solution that will make
The loud and racaous protests against the proposed changes in the Immigrants Act lad led to a few questions being asked? President George Bush has stated that the US needs what he calls "guest workers" who do the sort of menial jobs that the Americans do not care to do. Translated into more understandable English he has only stated the obvious:Low skill low paying job
Before the US led invasion of Iraq there was certainly a functioning government in ghe country which maintained law and order. Now there are death squads operating from ministerial buildings and prisons such as Abu Gahraib/ I wonder how any one can defend the Bush piolicy in Iraq. In Serbia the leader was brought to trial for merely trying to protect the integrity of his country. Now Bush and BVlair with uter contempt for law invade another country wit
Ditto for Al Qaeda. In fact this satement is not trure and you know it.
The local liar is at it again. Are you not worried that you will go to hell for your constant lying Liar! In contrast to your romantic ideas, Iraq was NOT a paradise before the in
The situation in Iraq is nowhere near normal. Three years after the Bush Admionistration launched its invasion of Iraq the country has been reduced to shambles. Electricity is supplies for only 4 to 6 hoiurs, schools and hospitals are virtually closed down, essential suppl\ies are to be had at an exhorbitant price and a proud and civilised nation reduced to sec
They already have the bomb. We can't help them acquire what they already have. I find it odd that you would oppose something that the IAEA and Mohammed ElBaradei himself would boost non-proliferation efforts. The IAEA does not approve or ratify this deal. In fact the US will help India negotiate an Indi
In his extremely perceptive bvook India's Nuclear Bomb, George Perkovitich has documented in telling detail the long and covert road to nuclearization in India. Right fro the start of her nuclear research in the early i950,s the civillian uses of nuclear technology has only been a fascade for carrying out a covert programme of weaponisation. The sanctimonious humbug t
