A pity both US and UK didn't "liberate" the Kurds when they had the chance after their invasion of Iraq.
Too greedy for the oil the Kurds were sitting on.

The 2003 invasion of Iraq lasted from 20 March to 1 May 2003 and signalled the start of the Iraq War, which was dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom by the United States
^^ There ain't no millions there, mate.
i was talking about europe in general and of course, making the point that millions of europeans could see more clearly than their leaders that invading iraq was a bad idea and there were many predictions at the time that it could lead to instability in the region, rather than the "cake walk" wolfowitz was talking about.Originally Posted by ENT
Don't be sorry, it's the truth.
If Israel had done that there would have been no peace, only more war, as the Muslim's avowed intent is to completely destroy Israel, by fair means or foul,....so stop kidding yourself.if israel had given up land for peace, the neo-cons wouldn't have gone crazy with their PNAC and CLEAN BREAK plans which were developed before 911 and led to the iraq war and the situation now in the uk with you talking about this:

yep, recall that april glaspie said something to the effect of that to saddam: "it's your business":Originally Posted by ENT
WikiLeaks, April Glaspie, and Saddam Hussein | Foreign Policy
In a now famous interview with the Iraqi leader, U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie told Saddam, ‘[W]e have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait.’ The U.S. State Department had earlier told Saddam that Washington had ‘no special defense or security commitments to Kuwait.’ The United States may not have intended to give Iraq a green light, but that is effectively what it did."

sounds like a defeatist attitude and understand why you wish to build tiny walls on roads or whatever you're talking about.Originally Posted by ENT

ooh, guess we should be updating this thread with news about the victims and the suspects like the kids do with their facebook posts.
no debate/discussion here?
in real life, discussions go in different directions and then someone brings up the latest news (victims, suspects) and it's discussed and then the conversation goes in different directions (again).Originally Posted by DrB0b
shouldn't threads be like that? rather than mods deleting posts to keep the conversation superficial and "on topic"?
dr bob, if you'd like to post the latest news on the suspects or victims, please do.
What you describe is not a discussion, it's just people rambling. As I said, there are plenty of other places on the forum for that. It's not like we're short of Muslims are bad/not bad threads, is it? This is the news forum and while discussion is allowed some attempt to keep it on topic would be welcome.
well, if you think people read these threads to get the latest news, then i'm guessing you're mistaken as this isn't the 1990s. it's pretty easy to find the headlines anywhere.Originally Posted by DrB0b
these threads are for discussion and even discussion that you don't like (as long as it isn't abusive), IMO.
go on then dr. bob, please name 3 topics that you think should be allowed on this thread?
besides, how to prevent the next terror attack (which you call "rambling").
