Point me 1 event in the world's history, where there was an effective military solution to terrorism. Just 1. The only solution is to wipe out all living terrorist or let them win. The problem you have with Radical Islamist is that they know when they have lost but they don't know how to win. Israel gave its terrorist 90% of what they asked for a
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. 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 Air
Oh come on. You know we can't offend anyone anymore. I am offended by this statement! Silent Poet wrote: Fear, capabilty.....meh,the thing is...if it gets to a certain point, it's called paranoia. </TAB
IF that is the case how come we have been buying less and less oil from the Middle East since 1973? NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--U.S. crude oil imports from Africa are consistently surpassing volumes from the Middle East as global competition for secure supplies intensifies. In five of the first nine months of this year, the U.S. relied more on crude imports from Africa than from the world's richest oil basin, the Middle East, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration sh
Explain how? What US interests have been attacked since the invasion of Iraq? Any at all? None. Its Bush's fault! You seem to believe that terrorists blowing things up in Baghdad is somehow damaging to US interests
But for every spitter there's a thousand that hold Mr. Sanchez and veterens like yourself with the highest honor. Instead, dwell on that Elie. Hold your head up above them and dwell on that. It sounds great to say this but take if from me. When you are sitting with your child and you are in uniform and some puke comes over and askes how did that
Exactly, there isn't enough data, certainly not enough data scientifically collected to even tell us what the weather is going to be 14 days out with any accuracy, by even the best science has to offer us, yet you proclaim that 150,000 from now, its going to be really hot, well that's an opinion, but as for if it is a fact. I think we need at least an order of magnitude or
The difference is different distances away from the sun. The orbit right now isn't perfectly circular either, but it is relatively close, orbits are affected by gravity of the masses involved, and their distances relative to each other. The moon's gravity effect on the earth is the most dramatic, as is evident in tides, and also the changing distance that the earth is from
Did you read that last paragraph. They didn't know where they were as a nation. So how in the hell could Saddam have used something if nobody in their nation knew where they were? Not only that, but read this... How about you read this instead. Resolution 1441 specifically stated: 1) That Iraq was in material breach of the cease
I supported this war and post war effort even beyond Abu Gharib, you say there was no mis-treatment of detainees, no torture, yet there are photos, and journals, and protests, and facts saying otherwise. Perhaps your definition of torture is only if it is done to you. But clearly any reasonable person would accept that what happened wasn't right and ethical treatment of pe
Now as for whether or not, it was justified. I supported the war, figured it would be over in a few days/weeks, figured we'd be smart enough to stay out of the cities, and let the police restore order after the Anti-Saddam riots I though we would be hunting for nukes for a few months, and I got a little uneasy when I heard about all the rioting, and looting, and how the ci
Erm, Modman....it was liberals that formed the nation. Yeah but keep in mind that back then the terms were reversed. Conservatives now are what they called liberals back then. It was the liberal ideas of the Republican party that caused us to free the colored people. Those ideas are now called conservitive because they are the status quo. The li
If it were true, and fact, and there was more to find, I think a really huge case would have been made by the Republicans regarding that, considering they made the case in the beginning. It was the primary reason for this war. This is where you are incorrect. I think I understand what you are taliking about but you took a right turn someplace and
This is where I disagree. They (the soldiers fighting in iraq) did their duty, under the impression that we were in Iraq for WMDs. Granted, we've found bits here and there of ricin-mustard gas, etc... However, the impression that Bush gave everyone, was false. Did he lie? I don't know. Aa a former active duty Marine I can say with some experience
It seems you like to think that 85% of the world population is a loser. Everyone else who is not America or Japan or Germany or the U.K. Maybe we all are. Not at all we understand what it is like to lose and we don't like it. Other nations seem to like it or at least expect it to be the outcome. Japan and Germany are examples of what happens when
KdGergo wrote: Feel a little ignorant now? Nope, should we feel that way? You have a long history of bright people, and an equally long history of not putting your bright people to work. It was Hungarians that came up with the atomic bomb. You should feel proud of that. Had your nation not had a problem with Jews and had our nation not fallen to
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. So according to what I read that you wrote it is ok by your standards that people are raped and murdered as long as
What was America's adversity? I always wonder when I hear statements alleging settler states were built on 'adversity'. They operated on a totally unlevel playing field. They had powerful weapons, enormous labour pools (criminal and free settler), vast mineral resources, copious amounts of arable land and no opposition to speak of. There is no wonder in my mind that states
If there is something the world hates about America is your overt pride and arrogance. You Rightwinger basically thrown out a whole region saying it was useless to the world, and when evidence surfaces that even very little part of this region(Hungary) was more than worthy for the world, you think you were right once again. My dear friend, you ar
Sir! Please understand as a former Democrat I know what a promise is and what Democrats understand as a promise. In reality a promise is a persons word of honor that they will or will not do something. In the Liberal Democrat world a promise is something you say to get people to vote for you. Nothing more or less. Did you not notice when President Bush was elected and he started his agenda with all the things he promised to do, and the Democrats complained that Bush was unfair
They sure are....the Penguin and Polar Bear populations are coming back and the ice shelf is even larger now that it was in the 1930s. Not what you've heard, I know......but I have. Wonder which side is lying? It wouldn't perhaps be the environmental scientists whose careers and livelihoods depend upon keeping up a steady flow of grants and donations? Or maybe the envi
You just don't understand something. Absolute numbers are not "that" importants, it's the exceding margin that matters. If the world is producing 200 Million barrel of oils/day (Rag-tag number, taken right out of the hat), then you would say that the accidental destruction of a platform producing 50 000 barrel/day would not matter. 50 000 compared to 200 million, that's ju
Yeah, do you know what an elipse and a circle are? If so, then you should conclude that what is meant by the sentence "-We also know the orbit of the earth was more eliptical at one time. " is that the orbit of the sun is more circular then eliptical now. Get it? Moot point anyway. Actually I don't please explain. <TABLE cellpadding=8 wi
BS, it was implied that he was pursuing a nuclear weapon. No honest evidence of that exists. The intel that did suggest that was fake, some of it created or forged to look that way, again manipulation of intel to fit the POLICY! So the article I posted where the head of the Iraqi nuclear program had the plans and parts hidden in his garden meant
