The evidence points to that conclusion is what I know. I also know that choosing to ignore those facts does not render them invalid.

We've been over this before.

If, as you say, Bush plotted 9/11 for his own ends, it follows Katrina must also have been contrived and Bush deliberately did nothing to protect New Orleans.
I also suppose Bush maybe got a kick out of running for his life in his pyjamas to make his plot seem more authentic the day of the attacks?
You know, I got knocked off my bike some weeks ago and that was George Bush's fault as well.

I think you just ran into a little trap of your own making, which illustrates my point perfectly.
Can I ask how come you just made no mention of the Iran/Iraq war? Frankly I


Sure. It's quite simple. The Iraq-Iran war was started by Saddam Hussein. He had the political, economic *and* material help of the USA. There are claims that the USA even *instigated* the attack on Iran by Iraq. One of the claims regarding Halabja is that the US actually supplied intelligence (including satellite photos), VX gas AND the plans for deploying the nerve gas. If you accept that as fact it is reasonable to infer that the US played an even greater role in the Iran/Iraq war.

I have brought that particular war up on numerous occasions. In fact I even brought it up in another post to this very board on this very topic. Pity you chose to ignore it.

You are stunned because you utterly divorced from reality. You are unable to accurately quote or paraphrase posts in a single thread over a span of 5 days . What chance do you have to comprehend events that span a period of 60 years or more. What chance do you have to comprehend whole cultures, millions of people or empathise with the shredded families in Fallujah ?

It shouldn't surprise you that much really. Saddam "pre-emptively" waged war on Iran on zero evidence, and he had the full support of the US all the way. Go figure where that thinking came from, take a look at the history of Cheney and his neo-con staff.

"You didn't even know me back in 1990 Crappy. I was outraged that the UN and US were so passive for so long. I was outraged that the US and UK had been supplying weapons right up to the point where Saddam's tanks rolled towards the border."

I still think my objection is reasonable. Your posts appear to project the idea that Israel is totally to blame and the U.S. is some kind of imperialistic, warmonger regime that is to be blamed for all the wrongs on the planet. Still that's your view and you have a right to your opinion.
I've stated many times that the U.S. does indeed fall short of the standards it ought to be adhering to and that I didn't agree with the Iraq War but I see this as rational criticism. Added to that, you're all well aware by now I'm very critical of the Arab World and I don't subscribe to the common view over here that instability in the Arab World is all down to the U.S., Europe and Israel.
What I pointed out is you originally glossed over Saddam's war with Iran and you only made mention of the U.S. and Israel.
"I was outraged that the UN and US were so passive for so long. I was outraged that the US and UK had been supplying weapons right up to the point where Saddam's tanks rolled towards the border."
Glad to hear it.
So maybe you need to voice these criticisms more often and weigh up your criticisms of the U.S. against Iran's conduct, i.e. criticize abuses on all sides?
For example, too few people seem to have been outraged over Iran's making fun of the hollocaust supposedly to tke revenge over those cartoons published in Denmark. However, what we need to bear in mind is the cartoons published in Iran that make fun of the hollocaust seem to reflect ideas held by the Iranians authorities wheras the cartoons in Denmark only reflected an idea by one periodical - not condoneed by the government. Plus hollocust victims were Slavs nd gypsies nd not just Jews.

Here's why many western politicians are suspicious of Iran:

"A prominent Iranian newspaper says it is going to hold a competition for cartoons on the Holocaust to test whether the West will apply the principle of freedom of expression to the Nazi genocide against Jews as it did to the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad."

This seems a pretty flawed argument because no western government ever called for censorship within Iran in the first place whereas Iran did indeed call for western governments to ban any attempt by journalists to poke fun at religion.
More importantly, the Iranians don't seem to understand the President of Denmark and many other European Presidents did actually apologise for cartoons published in an independent newspaper and only refused to actually intervene in the free press to close papers down e.t.c.
But Iran's President hasn't apologised for the Iranian newspaper's decision to make fun of the tragedies that involved WW2 and that's pretty serious diplomatically. It would be akin to Bush waving an American newspaper cartoon of the 9/11 incident in his country and saying, "Hey, isn't that amusing?"
Let's remember here that hollocaust victims were not only Jewish. Blacks, gays, Slavs and Romany peoples were all destined to be wiped out and then Iran decides it might be a good idea to make fun of the incident as a national passtime? So, this is point worth thinking about, I figure.
This is basically why there are people out there who don't think a nuclear armed Iran is a good idea - especially the Israelis. Plus the hollocaust competition went down like a lead baloon in Russia - given the fact millions of Russians died in the camps.

That is because your English Comprehension is so bloody lamentable. I don't "appear to project" anything, let alone something along the lines of one particular bunch are to blame for the world's trouble. For a start I specifically mentioned the UK in that paragraph you just quoted and yet you are so mindnumblingly stupid that you went on to say I exclusively attributed blame to the US and Israel.

This is a classic example of what I was talking about with Mel P's outrageous claim that you paraphrased.

While we are on the subject of attributing blame exclusively to a particular race and/or creed I would like to draw your attention to the London bombers. You stated outright that the perpetrators were Muslim Immigrants, and that they had the help of Al Queda. Here in reality the bombers were British Nationals and they HAD NO CONTACT with Al Queda.

I can't see the point in Moral Relativism when making a value judgement. It has a role in discussing exploring people's value systems, but it doesn't make sense to use it as your Moral Compass. A look through just about any thread I have posted to will show that I do acknowledge and discuss the abuses and amoral actions of both sides. There are plenty of posts I have made where that occurs, you have even quoted some. It is your loss that you didn't bother to read and acknowledge the points made in them.

The Danish editor specifically vetoed cartoons about Christian figures prior to those cartoons. He operated on a Double Standard.

That's not the point you twerp. The point is to test whether Western Governments apply their own censorship values to Iran in their reaction. As it turns out I think that the reaction to competition has been a bit of a damp squib (sensibly IMO).

Nuclear Armed Anyone is a bad idea, but realistically Iran having a Nuclear deterrent would most likely stabilise the region somewhat. At present Israel and the US have infinitely more ICBMs than Iran, and they have stated flat out that they intend to maintain that situation AND exploit it by holding Iran at Nuclear gunpoint while they attack. The US and Israel are politically committed to attacking Iran, and Iran is vulnerable to attack, and that is the source of the unstability.

That said I don't want anyone to have nuclear weapons, because weapons are there to be used, as Israel and the US have pointed out so frequently themselves.

I think you seem to be misunderstanding my posts. I don't blame races for suicide bombings or other forms of killing, I blame extreme religion and ideology. I've pointed out many times that people have killed, maimed and tortured before in the name of Christianity and Judaism too.
However, Christians and Jews were more problematic in ancient times or maybe mediaeval period. This current period, however, has seen the rise of radical Islam and it's this specific ideology I've attacked in the past. I've opposed mass immigration on the grounds of the religious ideology that comes with it. This is what Prof Dawkin has pointed out too.
It has nothing to do with race. I have no fears over India having WMD but, as I said before, I simply don't trust Iran and many other people would agree with me on that score.

"A look through just about any thread I have posted to will show that I do acknowledge and discuss the abuses and amoral actions of both sides."

I have my own opinions on that point but really it's a question for other members on the forum. Do they see you as taking a side or being neutral? Personally I don't mind being seen to take a side. If push comes to shove, I would have to support the U.S. and Israel, although my true ideology is closer to communism than capitalism.

"This is a classic example of what I was talking about with Mel P's outrageous claim that you paraphrased."

She's currently in the U.S. and causing something of a sensation. M.P. has been getting quite a following of late and it may have been M.P. who revealed the recent facts that have put Blair in deep trouble with the electorate. The pen, as they say, is mightier than the sword.

"That's not the point you twerp. The point is to test whether Western Governments apply their own censorship values to Iran in their reaction. As it turns out I think that the reaction to competition has been a bit of a damp squib (sensibly IMO)."

Just one point: Had Iran countered by pointing out a certain British historian was jailed in Austria over a book that questioned the hollocaust, I'd have agreed with Iran. I believe it is totally wrong for Austria to send an academic to jail for stating a view. It's up to other historians to prove him wrong or argue the case.
However, making fun of the hollocaust per se has done Iran no favours. As I pointed out before, Denmark's President didn't endorse the Mohammad cartoons published in a Danish newspaper - he refused to censor the cartoons - that's all.
Iran was calling for European censorship and if you agree with censorship then you ain't a liberal.
However, the Iranian elite made no attempt to apologise for cartoons mocking the hollocaust published in Iran. Let's remember Europe hasn't called on Iran to censor or ban their own press or remove the cartoons that were published in retribution. It's about official state attitudes to the press not censorship of the press.
What happens is we have seen apparent official approval of the cartoons the Iranian periodical published.
I repeat, Denmark never officially approved of the Mohammad cartoons.
There is clearly a major difference. Millions of people died in concentration camps and millions of these victims were Slavs, gypsies or disabled folks. Yet Iran thinks this is amusing and a means of testing reaction in Europe?
To my mind it reveals specificically that Israel and the U.S. have good reason to distrust Iran's alleged peaceful nuclear program.

I don't think there has ever been any major fear over upsetting Christians in modern times. David Soul has been doing the Springer Show all over the country and Christians have only carried out some minor protests. Yes, there have been demonstrations outside the theatres but that's about it.
I seriously doubt the Danes feel a need to censor cartoons over Christianity as there wouldn't be a major problem - just some small protests, I guess.

Nonetheless the Danish editore specifically vetoed cartoons about Christian figures prior to the publication of the cartoons ridiculing Islam. He operated on a Double Standard.

Oh, and what evidence do you have to support your claim that Iran is "Dangerous" and "Unstable" exactly ?

In other words : You claim that Europe has the right to have a pop below the belt at Iran, but Iran doesn't have the right to have a pop below the belt back ?

Both editors need their heads banging together IMO.

Israel and the US have stated thier intent to wage war on Iran. They are simply projecting their motives upon their target (Iran). Dumb and likely to backfire nastily.

You know, I got knocked off my bike some weeks ago and that was George Bush's fault as well.
I have posed the many lingering questions surrounding the 9/11 events here several times in the past, and none of you that defend the Neo Cons has ever ONCE sufficiently rebutted ANY of those questions.

The evidence however supports a prima facie case against BushCo. Your lame denials only go to prove your gullibility and/or stupidity.
