and having to endure the Americans who financially and morally supported the IRA.

It seems every other east coaster gets all misty eyed at the very mention of the 'emerald isle' but few have ever been there or ever will.

Now all of a sudden since 9/11 the Americans seem to be gushing left right and center about bombings.

When the UK was experiencing having regular tragedies like this the US president was shaking hands with the IRA leaders.

Does America consider Ireland as good allies? They hopped right into bed with the French and Germans over Europe. They adopted the Euro and now they are puppets to their European masters. The UK has steadfastly stood with the US over so many issues in the last century.

I'd like to hear an apology from our US friends over their disgracefull support of terrorist bombers in the UK in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

As they say, perspective is everything isn't it?

As best I can tell - we have already lost the war. All the goals will not be met. The Bush administration has finally figured this out and is trying to save face, as best they can and at the expense of American lives. Ultimately, whether we leave now or ten years from now, there will be a civil war between the Sunni's and the Shites.

Click to expand...

The suicied bombers couldn't care less what we say. They don't care about what liberals say, they don't care what conservatives say. All of us are irredeamably evil and are all going to hell - where we belong. That's their attitude. Here I am referring to Al Qaeda and its affiliates.

They are GLAD that we are in Iraq. Nothing could please them more. They prayed that we would go, and they predicted that we would go. It would have been a major blow to them if we hadn't of gone. The only one worse to them than us, was Sadaam Huesein. He was worse BECAUSE he was an Arab. They were at war with him and one of the reasons they could never work together was because of this ongoing war.

Since this is a psychological war (with the exception of Aftghanistan) it has to be won on that level. In other words, the worst thing you can do is fight using Al Qaeda's script.

I innitially thought that George Bush was wrong, and that he read the intelligence to find what he wanted to believe. Recent developments show he was not wrong - He planned this, and planning commenced even BEFORE the election.

You post that everyone believed in WMD's. This is news to most of the world....

We live with a media, that is both sensationalist and CONSERVATIVE. If it wasn't conservative, they would have ripped the entire WMD thing apart. It's easy calling all foreign sources "leftist rags," but in that sense you are calling otherwise conservative foreign media "leftist rags."

The media has given George Bush a bye, on his most serious crimes. Lying to Congress to get the equivalnece of a declaration of war is treason. No one seems to care.

Pre-emptive war? Against whom. Surely you recognise that even a preemptive strike must be against someone who is a threat?

One of the conclusions of the Duefler Report (A PDF easily googled) is that Sadaam Huesein DID want to reconstitute his army and weapons - for use agaisnt Iran. That report written by an extreme Neocon, stated that Sadaam NEVER intended to attack us.

He's hardly a liberal...

Why do you feel that the US Constitution is such a trivial document? It has served us so well when we were fighting for our very existance. Now it should be jetisoned because of some crazed terorrists? And yes, they can kill some or even MANY of us, but are not a "threat" to our existance, or a threat to ALL our lives as the Germans and Japanese were?

Hi Adam,

we may have rented him helocopters, but we certainly did not envision he would use them to gas his own people. your sentence as written may imply we knew he would do that beforehand.

as i have said, we changed our policy toward iraq. you should be happy we woke up and realized that it was wrong to deal with saddam.

i am pro-us to the extent that i think people who slander the usa and think its intentions are evil are wrong. i disagree with some of my countries policies--what american doesn't?

some on this site have even argued that it is wrong for the us to work against nuclear proliferation--if the usa has nukes, why can't north korea and iran? their extremism is such that they support proliferation and see no difference between governments. they are blinded by hatred of the us--note i did not say bush as others have argued the usa has never had an acceptable foreign policy.

There can be no doubt that an easy way to reduce terrorism is to
stop participating in it. America should stop fostering it, close
down the terrorist traning camp in Fort Benning, Georgia. It should
stop vetoing humanitarian resolutions in the UN. Admit that US
foreign policy has been the cause of so much worldwide suffering.
That's a good place to start and to work from. I don't think
that'll happen though, at least not under the present government.

It's interesting to note that Kuwait and Iran, two countries that

of Saddam like the US was. Why not? Because they knew that he
wasn't much of a threat. Even the head of Israeli military

that, at the time, Saddam posed no nuclear threat to the region.

sorry this is long, but it is morning here...

me, a fanatic?-- i hardly think so (but if i were, would i be able to tell? ha ha). i just dislike people who think the usa is evil and all its policies are evil. i have disagreements with the current administration on several issues. but there are posters who dislike not just current us policy, but all usa policy since the country's founding. there are even posters who dislike our attempts at nuclear arms control. they say if the usa has nukes, why not iran and north korea? this is how absurd some posters are when it comes to hatred of the us--even anti-proliferation efforts are a usa plot.

not all overseas rags are rightist--the one cited (the guardian) is on the left. finding a pro-us article is like finding an anti-business one is the WSJ. the new york times' judy miller supported the contention there were WMD in iraq, yet her paper's editorial page runs one anti-administration screed after another (some i agree with, but the NYT can only play anti-bush tunes).

we lost the war? maybe, but we ain't done yet! we did get saddam, have elections (did that move you at all?) and hopefully, in the time we have left, we can set up a decent government. but it will be up to the iraqis to pull it together. a shia/sunni civil war? well, one way to avoid that is to put saddam like figure and his minority in control and have him subjugate the majority in a most brutal fashion. but the usa does not do that. it has been pushing for an inclusive government. it may fail...who knows? but rather than tsk tsk from the sidelines, offer a solution.

now, as for the us constitution--i believe in it 100% (though i have concerns with the interpretation of the second amendment). a lot of people believe in it. but you say bush committed treason! objectively, that is a view held by more of the bush hating fringe than the average person, even in the opposition party. even you admit your views have no traction. this, to me, is fringe. like those who despised clinton--fringe.

terrorists may kill some or even many of us? major problem! the muslim radicals have mixed religion and politics (gee, perhaps even more than bush?) and have called for a holy war on the west. lets get them, and since they are streaming into iraq to fight us, lets get the job done there.

with such wisdom the USA and world would be a better place.

The Constitution is quite clear on this issue. Congress has the sole right to commit us to war. Certainly, as the COmmander in Chief of the armed forces the President has the right and OBLIGATION to temporarily defend us in the event of attack - Then he MUST go to Congress. The facts show, NOT that Bush was wrong, but that he deliberately lied. This is treason, a high crime and misdemenor. He should be impeached. That is the objective evidence. There's far to much out there for you to post cliches at me.

I agree, up until I read the British cabinet minutes I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. I thought he was just a twisted ideological fool - I was wrong - he commited treason. Rove is guilty of treason by outing the head of a CIA department, a woman who "owned" companies in Iran and other places. No, she has not personally been endangered - but all those who worked for her are, and and entire intelligence activity has been jeopordised, all for some cheap political points. Disgusting...

All religion is cr4p. Grow up little children and take responsibility for your life, your childrens lives and the precious and fragile world we live in.

i am trying to keep an open mind on issues like rove. if he did what they say, then he betrayed america's trust. left or right, to leak a cia officer's name for politcal reasons is wrong.i i still await his fate.

and i do think it funny that these issues are debated here on a photo site--i kinda made that point in one of my posts. i will never be convinced, and neither will they. i do try to understand why there is such irrational hatred for the usa though.

most countries have done worse, some better. but there is tremendous jealousy of the us and it influence. it consumes these people.
for me, it is a way to unwind before i sleep.
