Mondo, again you hit the nail on the head! Of course, exactly what constitutes "terrorizing their citizens" is a pretty tricky issue, so I submit America simply attacks all non-democratic countries (and she might want to look at herself first). I tell ya folks, with Mondo and the gang at...

"I'm afraid" is a figure of speech, Optional. I'm not actually fearful (nor ashamed), I just prefer not to state where I live. I'm not sure what you were attempting to imply by the German immigrants comment, but I can assure you that the chances of YOU being a German immigrant (why the...

I'm afraid I do mind you asking where I live. But I'll tell you that my nationality is Argentine.

Max, there weren't a billion OTHER names they could have thought of? It's not about being PC. Given how incredibly simple it would have been to name the bases something else, I find it hard to believe how insanely stupid they were to use these names. In case you didn't notice, there is...

"I can imagine if every nation acted as America does. We would have a much better world to live in." Well, you are an American, so it's no surprise that you can't see beyond your own nose. :) But do you really think countries like China and India galavanting half way across the world...

But God help you if you're not a democracy then, right? Because not everyone (the clear majority of the world, in fact) is not like us, we must therefore do everything in our power to make them like us. Right? We might break a few eggs but we're gonna make that omellete. Correct...

Preposterous! As bad as the flying of the flag was, the other day.

Yes Optional. That is my issue. For this very good reason: can you imagine what kind of world it would be if every nation acted as America does? It's something that probably doesn't occur to Americans, (who, as I said, take being the world's cop as their birthright) but I can assure...

Or even "HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE USA and we'll STILL fuck your country up!" :D You know, as crazy as this might sound, given what I've said, I'd actually support your position -- I genuinely like America! -- IF if it was actually the case that all these other countries were "fucking...

Oh my. What supreme arrogance! America styles herself as 'leader of the free world'. Your words could not be further removed from what constitutes good leadership. Thankfully, I believe big mouths such as yourself are firmly in the minority.

Not this war, Optional. There is such a thing as due process, even in international matters. Something America has scant regard for.

In that case I would consider it possible that yes, it may be justifiable. It isn't really something that there is a great deal of precedent for, in the modern era; attacking another sovereign NATION for something that its citizens are responsible for. It's a difficult call. It opens a...

I don't understand comp. Did I ever claim otherwise? Once terrorism has been PROVEN to occur, that is. Now, did you have any evidence establishing Iraqi complicity in 9.11?

Well, Cubano, I respectfully disagree with you. As I said in my first post, I would prefer an Iraqi victory. I think that's the only way America will be forced to reassess its self-styled position as global arbiter of right and wrong. (And given the not insignificant amount of self-interest...

Now there is something I can agree with you on compisnada. The 'big dog' making the rules has been the way the world is since nations first existed. Obviously some things haven't changed. There are some of us that like to dream the world could be a better, fairer place, but reality...

Oh come off it. When has there EVER been an established link between Iraq and 9.11? That is pure fantasy. By the way, in criminal cases, it in necessary to FIRST prove guilt BEFORE administering punishment. Oh, but proving guilt would be 'divulging sources'. Hmm, I wonder if all...

There are many other regimes that 'terrorise' their own people. Is that justification for invading another sovereign nation? Perhaps in your book it is. I wonder how many of you would havet taken kindly to a Soviet invasion of America for her abuse of her own black population during the first...

Optional, perhaps you ought to look into how America came to enter WWII. She did supported the European allies non-militarily, and wanted to maintain her (largely) neutral position. She even negotiated with Japan over the Pacific question. Only after being attacked by Japanese forces...

You haven't heard of the atttack on Pearl Harbor? There was also the precedent set by the German attack during WW1.

Personally, I would like to see Iraq emerge victorious. Teach you Americans -- excuse me, the 'coalition of the willing' (puke!) -- a lesson! It is simply OUTRAGEOUS that Americans think they have some God given right to act however they hell they want! Absolutely ridiculous! I can...
