The only solution is to wipe out all living terrorist or let them win. Same question, repeated once more: have you seen once, just ONCE, a situation where total wipe of terrorists was successful, leading to the end of this peticular conflict? A viable military solution that worked? What leads to the state of "terrorism" from a populatio
If what you say is true then how come the price of oil has been going up since the Gulf war instead of down? I worked for Carnival Airlines when the Gulf war started I was a security coordinator so I got to watch the entire ground operation for each of our aircraft. It cost about 9k to fuel a jet, after the war it cost 11k to fill up the same jet. The price of Jet A fuel h
The original idea wasn't to turn GalCiv2 into a Starcraft-like game. I love to have the time to plan everything in my little corner of the galaxy. I was more of a way to keep the +s of the TBS (careful planning) while having the inclusion of the good parts of the "real time" (interceptions, simultaneous moves, "trapping" ships). To be able to pause and issue orders is great, but I was more thinking like: over 3 weeks of "in-game" time, there is usually 6 events that happens. Th
You seem to believe that terrorists blowing things up in Baghdad is somehow damaging to US interests. I don't grant you that premise. Terrorists blowing thigns up "over there" is not really something I worry about. Terrorists blowing things up over here, however does. And that's not happening. these event into Badhdad could (probably will) lea
Syria produces no oil. Gee, if Syria produces no oil, then my whole goddamn point is not valid anymore! Burn Iraq and Iran to the ground, nothing will happen, BECAUSE SYRIA PRODUCE NO OIL In what way would terroris
Human beings, not just Americans, will stop at nothing if they think their "tribe" is endangered. True Some people, which we'll call "dumb people" for brevity, will start ascribing monstrous intentions to me person
My goodness if this is correct then the Gulf War was not about oil for America, neither was the war in Iraq. WOW Invading an oil-rich country that was slapped with sanction will lower oil price worldwide. And even you has to admit that America is addicted to the stuff. It was good for you economicly. It was about oil.
Like that's stopped us thus far. If that's the approach the "terrorists" are looking to see/hear, get real, were coming for you all. By the way, how exactly do you think terrorism can increase by an exponential factor when we have already isolated it well inside the pressure cooker of Iraq called Baghdad? I would have to contredict you on the fa
I don't know who is in serious favor of nuking Iraq. Do you have any examples? Many opinions read on this forum. I do not say that politicans are in favor, but the opinions witnessed here puzzled me If a major US
I really don't understand why we haven't eliminated Syria's regime at this point as well as Iran's. Sure, it would plunge "the region" into chaos but there are other players in the region who have a much bigger stake at the region being stable than we do and would probably create an incentive for them to be more cooperative. So you do not consid
The other way - freedom and eliminating terrorists - costs lives Are you eliminating terrorists? Are their number lowering?
Are you an American? Yes? Then you better wake up and smell the coffee because "they" consider you to be their enemy. Oh, and the French, British, Canadians, Germans, Spanish and co. aren't targetted by these extremists? Americans are the only victims of the baddies?
I read many time one this forum 2 opinions I find one "normal" and the other really sad, taken appart, but quite hillarious when they are said by the same person : "Terrorism use despicable tactics by targetting civilians." "Let's just nuke Baghdad to a glass desert" Can someone enlighten me why people support the fact that "It's all right to go in Iraq to free their people, to put a democracy there, with a constitution", while they say in the same post "I don't really
Just a matter of time. Totaly. However, it's a matter of time before Sharia became totally outlawed. Here in Quebec, we are considered to be really friendly to immigrants (still some work to do), but when the idea of allowing the Sharia in Canada was bringed up, the Quebec National Assembly voted to ban the Sharia forever from any legal system on

I haven't heard comments about the new treaties available in Dark Avatar. Is is good to have a slave nation?
Also, there is a large black monolith that Galaxywide Package Service (when it positively, multidimensionally, has to be there overnight) would like to acquire as a billboard. Look into that, too, would you? And don't forget to bring a towel
What I was getting at is that there really aren't a lot of RATIONAL objections to the US invasion of Iraq. Saddam was most definitely a menace in every practical sense. Violence occuring in Baghad and a few other cherry picked regions is certainly annoying but has no international effect in any practical sense. Except if those violence degenera
So you are asserting that the Iraqi's would be better off under Saddam? Well, yhea! They would maybe starve, but the death toll would be much, much lower. And all the region would not have to worry about a uber-instable neighboor. Americans & Co. set off a time bomb by removing Saddam the way they did. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" al
And integrating those, who are opposed to core principles of a system is not an easy job either. You haven't that kind of problem in USA (or at least, not to that scale). I know that the % of well-integrated muslims (or any legal foreigners, for that matters) are sky-high in your country. So I say the problem is more with the native population's
Well for one thing you haven't lost any of your "fundamental" rights Habeas Corpus was a fundemental right, no? We tried appeasing terrorists for years, and Sept. 11 is what we ended up with <
