Hi,

Just like to say im proud my nations fighting alongside the USA in Iraq, we owe your nation alot in the past and im glad we are there alongside you when the time comes.

Theres alot of anti-war feelings in the UK, personally I think fuelled by ignorance and hypocracy, its always amusing to watch human rights protestors rallying to defend a country with the worst human rights attrocities in the modern world.

Still people will march against anything these days, especially if your French, I just hope the US econemy cripples the French financially post-war for their monsterous ingratitude and decent. You couldnt believe that thousands of Americans gave up their lives to save these ungrateful traitors.

Anyway I pray its a short war and hope the freed people of Iraq have a more prosperous future in years to come.

Either way, it's a sad day.

Well said, Prey.

Moved to off topic.

One more thing. Please watch the remark against the French and or any other ethnic group. I understand making fun of them or joking about them, but please keep it within reason.

Personally I have my own feeling towards the French, that I will keep to myself.

May god watch over all the troops and keep them safe. Please let this war be over fast.

Ummm nothing rascist was said against the French im always concious of this, I dont see a problem with sharing personal beliefs in an issue as im not in a mutual position unlike your particular role as Admin here.

I cannot stress enough my disbelief regarding the French attitude, seeing as they made it quite clear they would vito any further attempts by the US/UK to pursue a peaceful alternative. From Germany its understandable as there is always friction there, but the French owe the USA far more seeing as they were liberated by this country during the 1940`s.

For anyone that might not have understood what was happening in the UN, basically the US/UK and Spain were trying to include a further resolution, to improve on the floundering peace process, and the French decided that whatever the resolution was about they would vito (block) this new resolution as soon as it emerged, not even considering it, in a pig-headed irrational attitude.

That was the final straw and faced with a failed peace process by an irrational permanant member of the UN, they had little option but to go to war to disarm Sadam.

Bullshit, if thats the case then america must still owe them for the french helping with their war against you brits. Wtf do you want the french to be on their knees for the rest of time for something that happened 60 years ago?

oOo:

Ydiss · 03-20-2003, 08:24 AM

It's one thing to say the French government and people owe America and Britain (and Canada, and Australia, and all the other allied contingent of the second Great War) for liberating them but it's entirely another to expect an entire nation to do something completely against their beliefs.

If the French truly don't believe in war then why on this Earth should they be expect, nay demanded, to commit to it?

War is a terrible and horrible thing and no matter what the cause, design or reason it is not a sin to protest against it.

I feel that I owe my freedom to all of the allied nations who fought in the war but if an American knocked on my door tomorrow and asked me to do something that I did not believe in there's no way I would feel an obligation to do it just because his nation helped mine 60 years ago.

I'm very sadenned that I will have to bring up my first child in war-time.

Two spelling mistakes in that last post that I'd like to edit but um can't oOo:

Ydiss · 03-20-2003, 10:31 AM

Sorry for the spam but I'd like to add another point (Would have edited this in too...).

America came to France's aid in the war, this is true. If this means they have an obligation to aid America in a similar situation then I'm sure they would have.

Except, America is not being attacked.

Nor is Great Britain.

So far as I know the French do not have any obligation to the Iraqi people (the exact cause Bush and Blair are saying they want this war for). So why do they have an obligation to help America pro-actively (re-actively?) attack Iraq?

Answer that one.

each to his own. if we make some friends along the way, great. allies are nice to have around. but i wouldnt expect any country to lay there civilians at the foot of our cause..our war. war just sucks and people die. in todays age, the shock factor and the natural fear of god have gone by the wayside for a lot of people. well not for me..death still sucks...god ownz...war is heinous.

Bazooka_Joe · 03-20-2003, 10:42 AM

Amen to that, Prey! It's also great to have a fellow supporter of the cause like yourself represent what should be the right coarse of action for the siduation in Iraq. Thank you, and glad to have you! biggrin:

What post of his are u talking about? I thought his points i posted on were a load of bollocks.

Bazooka_Joe · 03-20-2003, 10:44 AM

Oh sorry, if I don't quote it's usually the very first post, so prey's first one.

=FM=1st Lt prey · 03-20-2003, 12:00 PM

Np Joe theres a huge silent majority in UK that feel the same as I do also.

Im ashamed at how some European countries are trying to gell together against the USA all the time, its good to have opposition of course, this is democracy, but there needs to be common sense in the argument also.

France ignored this when they threatened to `vito` no matter what the new resolution was that the US/Uk and Spanish goverments proposed, therefore forcing war on Iraq with no option left.

Its amazing how stupid some people are,

Iraq is a rogue state: Fact

Iraq is funding terrorist groups like the Palastinian terror group Hamas Fact

Iraq is pursuing weapons of mass destruction for some time now Fact

The point is NOT Iraq attacking any single nation `directly` the DANGER is Iraq passing on these `weapons of mass destruction` to terror networks around the globe, and a dirty bomb/anthrax virus being detonated/released in a city like London or New York.

Some idiots cannot see past this argument, and im disappointed that people are so naive to understand this threat! hake:

Ydiss · 03-20-2003, 12:26 PM

Whatever is said there's nothing naiive about not wanting war.

It's their right to not go to war.

As if American and Britain need the support, anyway. They were going to commit to this war no matter what the out-come of the inspections, so it's no different.
