WinCustomize Forumsbakerstreet is right. you would think, even if the numbers aren't as staggering as Stalin's what paxx has mentioned here should at least be front page news and its not.

I think those figures were a little off? 1 gallon [US, liquid] = 3.785412 liter

That is a rather big difference. We still only pay around 1.59 a gallon, it had rose to around 1.80 before the war.

Where I am in Maryland, USA, prior to the war it was getting more and more exspensive. I would say it rose 15 cents per gallon! It has dropped off only slightly though after the war started. I too, expected it would go higher. Didn't Saudi Arabia sort of release extra barrels of oil, to help take care of any loss felt of Iraqi oil during this war? If so, that could be your answer.

oh good lord my desk is hazzard to the world as well then. At an arms reach, I have nail polish remover (makes my eyes water every time), scissors, and a rather vicious looking letter opener shaped like a Toledo Sword. You, we, make light, but the fact that Saddam used chemicals on his own people isn't funny. Nor that he tortured and killed them either. I am not saying that is our entirely our responsibility, But I do ask then, if not us, then who? I like peace, bu

paxx I looked for other sources in "print" for that article. I don't blame you for wanting much confirmation. Its a good way to be, on that we can agree. I found a few: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/abs_news_flash_article.asp?FlashOID=7858 http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/story.jsp?story=395118 http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/news/040703_NW_toxicfind.html

grrr I see the post makes you sign up ok the article goes like this: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. forces near Baghdad found a weapons cache of around 20 medium-range missiles equipped with potent chemical weapons, the U.S. news station National Public Radio reported on Monday. NPR, which attributed the report to a top official with the 1st Marine Division, said the rockets, BM-21 missiles, were equipped with sarin and mustard gas and were "ready to fire." It quoted t

Jafo are you saying the US is using land mines? I mean, you certainly do imply it in a backhanded way. And where is your information coming from that we have no such limitation?

Funny you would mention the American Revolution and how we fought. I thought of the same tactic. However, I still wouldn't equate it with fake surrenders, car bombs, and hiding behind civilians, would you?

bakerstreet, I WILL bother. As some seem to be spoon fed a dosage of news that doesn't remotely seem complete to me. I understand what you mean though, yes, there is such anti-american sentiment here, that they can certainly misconstrue anything to even furthur continue in that vein. I could say the same to you But I see that you do continue to 'bother' with this thread <img src=

What good is peace if people are being attacked, mutilated, tortured, murdered, and raped? I like peace, but that seems like peace at a price. WytRaven, what would be your solution to Saddam's treatment of his own people and his alignment to terrorists and threatenting weapons of mass destruction?

bakerstreet Unfortunately the view that the Europeans get about us is very anti-american, and never puts us in a good light. My mother in law is there and she tells me what their television is saying to them, and never during any incident war or other wise does it ever resemble whats actually happening here. She usually calls in a panic, and I have to calm her fears.

Jafo I don't think you called me naive in the extreme, but if you had, you wouldn't be the first. (I know you were saying to believe in something would be naive in the extreme). Perhaps I should explain myself and my position, and why I asked you what I did. First of all to say, that I haven't ever really participated in a forum until this, so I am kind of a newbie at it, even for being a few years on the net. My background is of one traveled abroad and of one of b
