Various reports on 9/11 which explain that there was no link between Al Qaeda and Iraq.

I'd spend more time trying to get my own house in order and worrying less about our politics if I were you. Perhaps Ireland is the standard of lucid political behavior. LMFAO!!

I know it's hard to face facts - and in your case I know you don't have the attention-span to read the info supplied to you.

So get you Mom to read this stuff to you.

Ireland doesn't make it government policy to slaughter a few thousand people that have done nothing to harm them.

Most of the Western World has a pretty astute appreciation of the motives of the (Bush)/Cheney government in invading another country without a UN directive- I think only the populations of Britain and Australia (yes I know, I'm ashamed), by slim margins, are with the US population on this point. Fear of an apparently disintegrating world order has a lot to do with it, in Australia; people want to cling to America's skirts, even if "Mama" is behaving badly.

But Limerickman, there's no merit in arguing the point with extremists - you're just pissing in the wind on a forum like this. Even reasonable Americans will feel challenged and defensive and inclined to meet hostility with hostility.

I'll let them them know I'm not with them on this, but I'm not interested in a one on one slanging match.

I agree.
But unfortunately you have people who operate at different level throughout this forum and unfortunately, one has got to reply to those at the level at which they tend to operate.
Naturally, I would prefer a more articulate exchange of views but, in certain cases, you've no choice but to reply using language that they can comprehend !

I agree, right or wrong, its inviting a mudfight. I believe australia & britain are "along for the ride" because of english heritage & econ. reasons. Granted, indonesia is in australia's neighborhood, & they have problems which need to be monitored.

Go suck on a pint of ale and blow up someone of another religious persuasion dipshit. I am particularly interested in input from someone from a country that has so much political influence in the world. LOL. You can always emigrate to the USA and become a cop in NYC.

Hmm.
Pint of ale - how very quaint.

As you're in the slow lane - a pint of ale is what is served in England, not here.

As for emigrating to NYC - no thanks.
Very happy here with our thriving economy and full employment, thank you very much.

(Perhaps our booming economy has something to do with all those US companies that continue to setup, thus depriving all their indigenuos fellow Americans of those much sought after jobs : you see they'll even dump on their own citizens ! Now that is LMFAO !!!!!!!!!!!!)

It's funny how these kinds of discussions always seem to come to a grinding halt and then be replaced by insults and trade-offs by all parties involved.
The problem is nobody becomes any the wiser.
I'm afraid it's the same old story of politics and religion. I've never come across a political discussion yet that's held more than a few posts till the whole thread collapses.

 

[Francesco G.]

Foreign policy should always serve a nation's self-interest. The question is whether the invasion of Iraq served the USA's self-interest. In my opinion, this war did not.

This war was a miscalculation and a grave mistake on the part of the Bush administration.

I do not say that a ruler is not sometimes forced to bloody his hands, but I do say that it ought never to be done except when absolutely necessary.

And I will add that most of the time it brings more loss than gain. For not only does he offend those whom he attacks, but he displeases many others besides.

And though he may have rid himself of one enemy and one obstacle, he has not destroyed the seed. Others will arise in the place of that one; and it often happens, as with the heads of Hydra, that seven grow for each one destroyed.

Discussions on politics, religion, and sports will always descend into insults. People hold these opinions close and feel when someone questions them they are being attacked personally. I've always thought it odd that someone lashes out at anothers opinions to defend their own. We all have that defense mechanism that kicks in when we feel we are being attacked. In order to have a political discussion you have to intentionally shut off that mechanism. Its hard to listen to other opinions when the wall comes up automatically.

Yeah only "half pints" in Ireland.

I know, they are too busy slaughtering each other. LOL

I almost forgot how ethno-centric some people can be...the US is a superpower. What the US does effects the entire world. I think it rather noble that a foreigner would be more interested than a native, as well as more informed.

Didnt the US just allow an assault rifle ban to expire? It wont be long before the slaughter begins. I guess doemstic terrorism isnt as high of a priority...

Oh, and you can add Japan on the list of coutries holding onto `Mommies dress`...Koizumi is nothing but a string of pearls up Bush`s ass.

I just liked the size reference. Koizumi is a little guy...

I am excited for the time when my child is sent home from school after having beaten up another kid and claiming it was `pre-emptive` because the kid is bigger/speaks a different vernacular/knows karate/had a toy watergun...or another stupid reason... Family values my ass.

I hope he is put on trial and held accountable for the loss of life and `mass destruction` he has caused. Of course, not the death penalty. I could never stoop so low as to reciprocate...`eye for an eye and everyone goes blind`. A criminal is a criminal, regardless of how much money they have.

There are flaws in your anology. 1. You will never have kids (the natural way that is) due to your lifestyle. 2. You don't live in the u.s. so your fabricated or otherwise assimulated fictional child won't be coming home from any U.S. school 3. You are not qualified to comment on family values as so indicated by your twisted deviant analogy concerning the presidents backside. 4. You left the U.S. (permanently, I hope) so your opinion carries even less weight concerning our domestic issues. Loser...

Are you going to Boycott McDonals? How about GE? I am sure you have amazing insight into the connection of Cheney and Halliburton?

How dare you compare countries based on such crude information? If the world were as black and white as numbers, there wouldnt be such a pallet of beautiful colors. Japan has a much stonger economy than Ireland, BUT juxtapose to the relative `happiness` of this country, Ireland has almost 4x`s the `life satisfaction` and less suicide.

I played on a Gaelic football team and everyone of my teammates were aghast at even calling the NRA a terrorist organization. They actually compared it to the politics of Bush...it merely tried to create a society of fear. They said, resoundingly, that the NRA was hardly influential and the effects of their `attacks` were looked at more as rebellious `spurts` of violence likened to that of gang warfare.

Take the blinders off.
