Paul, you forgot to mention the many thousands of the Iraqi civilians, who died when the US bombs came down on them.
There again, whats human numbers killed, when it comes to ideology thinking!

You sure have brought out in force the readers of the old testament.
There are even a few new testament readers in the comments list.

Christmas 1914 had the generals and arms manufacturers worried as the Scots, French and German soldiers in one section of the front line stopped fighting and enjoyed Christmas together. I like to think that they discoverd they had a lot in common and all wanted to be home with their friends and families instead of trying to kill people that they had never met. The human race almost reached the stage when we could say that the only ones who would fight wars would be the guys with the shiney boots and those who profit from war.
It took a few weeks after the 1914 Christmas for the generals to get the war back into gear, there were some executions of soldiers on both sides and others were transferred to different parts of the front.

Paul, I'm with you mate. These friends-of-terrorists will never accept the truth, and when backed into a corner will play the conspiracy theory card.

But for anyone who questions the invasion, claims that republicans are the ones who started this war, thinks the war is about oil try this: www.reasons-for-war-with-iraq.info
but of course it probably won't make a difference.

How entertaining to see a reprise of daggett's and and Paul.L's epic "Moonbat vs Wingnut" battle.

However, like most sequels, the original was better.

I wonder if Christopher also felt 'entertained' on 11 September 2001 as he watched 2,974 die on his TV screen?

Did he feel 'entertained' as the US and Australian Governments used September 11 as an excuse to strip the civil liberties of their citizens and launch aggressive and bloody wars against Afghanistan and Iran?

Did he also feel 'entertained' as he watched thousands of of Afghans and Iraqis die or become maimed from the comfort of his living room?

Aaah Daggy.... "when half truths fail... try the EMOTION card".....

Ummmm but Iran?...err no we didn't invade that place.

"Aggressive" + "Afghanistan" errr "no" if you recall the actual FACTS (as opposed to your lefty wingnut blog based BS) Afghanistan was in a state of CIVIL WAR, where the Islamist Taliban were raping and pillaging their way through the last vestiges of Northern Alliance territory.

Western Allies then SUPPORTED the Northern Alliance at their request.

Just look...LOOK at the demography you dill.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan#Ethnic_groups

The north is mainly Tajik and the south mainly Pashtun. We have a right to pick and choose those we support in our own interests. (both security and economic)

Related to our security interests.. the Taliban and Al Qaeda ran training camps for suicide bombers and terrorists who were having us in their sights. That legitimizes our action there. IRRESPECTIVE of any previous dabbling in regional politics there.

Ultimately.."our security" matters most. There is no giant Marx in the sky who answers your utopian prayers..sorrrrrry.
-Marx is dead
-'Utopia' will only be found in Christ.
-Earthly Geo-politics in the meantime is an ugly business, and will go on.

A-GAIN....I ask.. Even if all you said about 'false flag' stuff is 100% correct.. WHO or WHAT do you SUGGEST to take the place of our present system? and why would it be better?

I can't wait.

If you answer.. make sure you use HEADING so I can pick it out from the rest of your rubbish :)
