southernmissfan-

I agree with you on some points there. However, a great number of the problems in Iraq are caused by insurgents and I do truly believe that a great evil has been destroyed by the war there. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't in favour of the war at that time, nor do I consider war to ever be good. However I do believe that a good can be acheived in Iraq. For all the horrific stories of the war, there are just as many of the torture and killing of Saddam Hussein.

I do hope, also, that you are consistent in your views on this and aren't going to turn around and tell me that the fact that all American foreign policy is based on September 11th 2001 is acceptable, or that the 3000 deaths on that day, as tragic, abominable amnd calling for greater protection and fighting terrorism as they were, were any worse than the thousands who die daily in wars we could stop, wars we start and because of hunger and diseases that we are too greedy to do anything about.

were the Brits at war with the IRA? Ummm, I think it was something like 400 or so. I'm not an expert on that war, as Mr. Stamos would put it I'm not very Irish, but bombs went off all over London and Blackpool and every-damned-where else you can think of in the UK and it was just kind of part of life for decades and decades.

From 1969 to the early 90's about 30 years. :( There was the 1916 uprising, and a few dynamite bombings in the 1880s as well, but the trioubles were really 1969 to mid 90's

Wake up people. Your country is AT WAR. In war, stuff like that happens. Sorry folks. When you attack someone, they're bound to retaliate. YOU attacked them in THEIR own country. Now you're all offended and everything because THEY attacked you in YOURS????

I remember the USS Cole.

I remember 9/11.

I remember Madrid.

And I will remember this latest effort in London.

War on their soil ha? *lol* War on the WORLDS soil is more like it.

I know your post can be a great thread in the Politics forum. I would certainly participate in that thread (and give you more reason to rant ;) )

cheers

You know what southermissfan, **** you, we've been attacked by terrorists and its scary, we dont even know if the attacks are even over and your sitting here telling us that its war?

Have some sensitivity, it happened today why cant you just leave your oppinion to latter and show some respect for people?

I'm not against you stating your oppinion I'm against you saying it at a bad time.
