earliest possible opportunity. They threaten the US's
control of this vital oil producing region. If the US has no
access to this oil, the economy will crumble and people
will starve. let's keep the starving where they belong. In
the thrid world!
What's the point of being the world's greatest power if
you can't excercise that power in your own interests?
The whinging liberals can leave the country as far as I
am concerned. The US should use its military, political
and economic power to assure it's safe future. Any
other course of action is mere self delusion. Do you
think that another country with the same power as the
US would act any differently?
Anyone, like bin laden, or arafat, who dares to attack
the US or its interests must be first humiliated and then
destroyed. This may cause resentment in other nations,
but what the hell are they going to do about it? Invade
America?
Anyone who threatens the viability of US corporates
must be taught a lesson. The US controls the IMF, the
World Bank, etc etc. The US should NOT be afraid to
use this leverage to further its own ends.
The time has come for the world to realise that we are
not beholden to any organisation, legal body or treaty,
whether or not we signed it sometime in the past.
Times, as they say, change.

'blood and iron' was a Nazist slogan'
Actually it was said by Bismarck, the guy who invaded france and started the German Navy and the Naval race with Britain. Wrong century.
'You admit yourself that a poor economy leads to social unrest, this is exactly how Al Queda came about - similar to how Germany's war payments (after WW1) lead to WW2.'
Errrr.. actually Al Quaeda was never poor.. stupidly rich in fact, being full of Saudis.
Brett:
'but, 'there is a British Empire still in existance'..
where where? You mean the falkland islands?
'He signed a treaty and has violated it time and time again.'
Violating treaties eh? Nuke them all! oops, sounds like grounds for
attacking the US then?
'Americans as a country don't like it when dictators threaten others. we have and will always help out.'
Gee, you mean like in Chile when that nasty dictator Allende was helped to resign and replaced with that nice
US backed Democrat General Pinochet?
'Kuwait needed help. We, not nato, put together the coalition and the strategy behind it with the help of coarse of
many countries.'
Any idea WHY Iraq invaded Kuwait? Not a clue I bet.. because Saddam is 'evil'? Go look it up. No, I'll tell you.
The Kuwaitis and the Iraqis share an underground oil reservoir. The Kuwaitis decided to start removing oil at a
much faster rate than they had agreed with Iraq. Saddam asked them to stop as it was seriously affecting the
Iraqi economy. Kuwait refused. The Iraqis then had a critical meeting with Madeleine Albright from the US
Government and they asked what the US position would be if they attacked Kuwait to prevent them stealing the oil.
Her response? 'Not our business.. we have no position'. Set up or what?

Don't they realise that the only reason they enjoy their self-indulgent Nike/MTV lifestyle is because men and women have died for it? And I'm not just talking about american men and women!

It doesn't even make any sense. Maybe instead of waging death making, war...how about we start saving lives there. We could have started by stopping that bastard from gassing the Kurds..while we were supporting them more then ever..almost to the tune of Israel. And that was an extra excuse for attacking in the Gulf War, "LOOK WHAT HE DID TO HIS OWN PEOPLE" *a gasp from the crowd*
And those sanctions, that ish is killing 5,000 children a month. How would you like it if that was happening once a month here? Every month for the past 5 years. Mostly infants and toddlers. Dying because they don't have the inoculations that would normally flow right through the border...thanks to their oil production...which in fact was reconstructed by none other than DICK CHENEY'S Halliburton, shortly after the end of the war??? HMMM?
I think we've been doing enough damage.
