  1. what an amazing ending to a tragic story....
  2. Who else is tired of reading articles on Iraq? Its the same info rehashed everyday. Who likes the new resolution that England is proposing?
  3. Around ten thousand Russian citizens have applied for entry visas into Iraq to defend this country against the planned aggression by the warmongering USA and UK, according to the Iraqi Embassy in Moscow. Iraqi Ambassador to Moscow, Abbas Khalaf, declared last week that the Embassy had received around 3,500 requests, a number which has multiplied in the last few days, according to sources in the same Embassy. The requests come from young males, some with combat experience, who describe themselves as “volunteers†who are willing to defend Iraq against the illegal armed aggression of the USA and the United Kingdom, two countries which continue to follow a belligerent stance on crisis management, wholly outside the generally accepted concepts of a New World Order based upon multilateralist approaches to problem solving, based upon the United Nations Organisation, a position championed by president Putin’s Russian Federation. For those who present an adequate reason for travelling to Iraq, the Embassy provides a visa and transportation, free of charge.

  8. LA HABRA -- Antiwar protesters burned and ripped up flags, flowers and patriotic signs at a Sept. 11 memorial that residents erected on a fence along Whittier Boulevard days after the terrorist attacks in 2001 and have maintained ever since. However, although officers witnessed the vandalism Saturday afternoon, police did not arrest three people seen damaging the display because they were "exercising the same freedom of speech that the people who put up the flags were,' La Habra Police Capt. John Rees said Monday. "For this to be vandalism, there had to be an ill-will intent,' he said. Rees said in order for police to take any action, the owner of the fence would have to file a complaint. Jeff Collison, owner of The RV Center in La Habra, who has allowed residents to add patriotic symbols to the fence on his property, said he just might do that. "Their free speech stops at destruction of private property. If they are allowed to come on my property and burn flags, does that mean I can go to City Hall or the police station and light their flags on fire because that is freedom of speech? To me, this is vandalism,' Collison said. Some residents Monday hung signs criticizing those who destroyed the display. Tracey Chandler, a Whittier mother of four who has maintained the spontaneous memorial since it was created by other area residents soon after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, said she was shocked by the destruction. "They trashed 87 flags, ripped 11 memorial tiles made by myself and my children out of the ground and glued the Bob Dylan song to a sign that said, 'America, land of the brave, home of the free,' ' she said. The Bob Dylan song she referred to is "With God on Our Side,' an antiwar anthem of the 1960s. "It's unbelievable, because there were absolutely no political messages on this fence. It was all about supporting our troops, which could mean bringing them home, and about remembering 9-11.' Les Howard, a sociology professor at Whittier College, said the incident might be an indication of some confusion among people trying to stop a possible war against Iraq but uncertain how to express their sentiments. However, he said he does not condone the destruction of symbols important to those who erect them. "Some think (the best way to support the troops) is to not question their role. Some think the best way is to pursue all means possible to avoid putting them in danger,' he said. "That still does not excuse any desecration of people's symbolic participation.' Chandler said she plans to rebuild the Sept. 11 memorial. "We are going to rebuild this memorial, and it will be brighter, bigger and better than ever,' Chandler said.
  9. I fully support our country....100%.....
  10. How long have you opposed the US government? I was sitting around thinking about the people who are so anti-government, anti-bush, anti-war, anti-anythinginthisworldcauseitscool, and began to think that they would probably be protesting just about anything else that the government has its hands in if everything was all and well. Were you protesting global warming, the international banks policies, world trade? Have you always participated in sit-ins, walk-outs, and picket lines? I just always seem to see the same people protesting and disagreeing with policies ranging from dolphins getting caught in tuna nets, the explotation of the rain forest, global warming, all the way up to the US policies in Iraq. Normalnoises - you seem like you would be a good candidate to answer this question. Have you been protesting US policies for the last 20 years or just within the past 2 years?
  11. true...the british paratroopers were running drills and were approached by a group of iraqis wanting to surrender...they were even waving the white flags....the brits told them they can't take them as pow's until the war begins....they told them to go home to their families and loved ones and not to risk their life for saddam....the only people that would be loyal are the republican gaurdsmen.....i also think that the stories are so blown out of proportion of iraqi civilians buying guns to arm themselves and attack americans.....it probably .000001% of the population, but the media runs 10 stories on it....
  12. that was so gay....a supership in australia?.....small plane blown out of the air to protect its privacy?.....stupid
  13. this is f-ing hillarious....i was so excited to see what this is all about...maybe he is on the way to an internet cafe?....lol...
  14. i think that there are a lot of other underlying factors that are affecting this economy......war is not the only issue and although i think it will give a short term boost.....i don't see it as the start of another bull market.... did you check out warren buffets latest analysis? derivatives will be the next financial time bomb? interesting stuff....
  15. i feel it hardcore....going to hit up grad school as an investment in myself and try to position for when the economy swings.....maybe things will be better in 4-5 years...
  16. i'm just making an assumption that the tide of opinion is changing and that when the war is on 75% will be backing blair regardless of UN approval....the coalition is big enough as it stands....
  17. "It seems like such a terrible shame that innocent civilians have to get hurt in wars, otherwise combat would be such a wonderfully healthy way to rid the human race of unneeded trash. " Fred Woodworth
  18. "We are not against any man-or any nation-or any system-except as it is hostile to freedom." John F. Kennedy "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. " George Washington War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. John Stuart Mill
  19. The analysis makes perfect sense.....Regime change was always the true goal......Regime Change = Democracy = Pressure on middle east leadership = Bending to US demands = Rooting out threats = Reducing the risk of a WMD attack within the US Consideration of the possibility that we may be about to enter a shift in geo-politics so significant that it bears comparison with 1945 and 1989 is also critical for understanding where we are going the true disagreement between people lies within this statement....its all about how progressive the US is going to be in attempting to spread democracy throughout the middle east.....many people don't even have a vision of where they will be in 2 years....muchless able to comprehend an event such as this.....
