yeah it was 5,000 at one single time. My bad. Now in return, can you tell me where you got that idea? 5,000 gassed is worse than what? going to school, starting businesses, voting for a new government. I'm confused.
So from 5000 , you reached the conclusion of hundreds of thousands? If you think that people getting killed by missiles, bombs, lack of food and security and a government which wants to turn back the clock and send women to home again and enforce religion ruling is progress then I have to agree with you.
That is past tense. Talk to a person in the military about the CURRENT situation. Much better now, but that wont matter to you. Just like the fact that I agreed that I made a mistake in my post and claimed it was my bad. Doesnt matter to you.
LOL sometimes you just have to look at the title of the thread in your browser to recall what it was again
Let's keep all the bravado for when Iraq has a stable, uncorrupt democracy. Untill then, it is all a fantasy. You cannot force anyone to be anything, let alone a 5000 year old civilisation. What gets me is that people think Iraq views the US as saviors. Sure, just as the US people would view an invading army that tried tro impose a socialist government.. And believe me, there are a lot of examples of socialist demacracies that work better than the US at the moment. The point is, though, that you cannot force people to be a certain way. They have to decide for themselves.. You can talk all you want about what the US invaasion means to US people, but the fact is that Iraq is more unstable than ever in history, and the whole middle east is a powder keg that is more unstable than ever in history. This is much more than about Suddam, this was a war based on a lie, and it is a war without a plan, and it is a mess that needs to be handled with more astuteness than Neocon has shown. Two times now, two. The US has been told to leave. The Iraq Gov't is aligning with Iran, and fumdamentalist Islam. That has already happenned, Iraqi's are waging war on Iraqi's, and overlords and Clerics are ruling their own militias. It is obvious that everything is not going according to plan. My god, Bush declared the end of hostilities in 2003, 2 and a half years ago! More money goes for policiing than it does rebuilding. More people are without power and water than before the invasion. Over 60% of Americans think the war was a mistake. Over 80% of the rest of the world does. What does it take to convince people that things are not right in Iraq? What more could you possibly want to see wrong to understand that this is not the situation anyone wanted, in fact is the very situation that was feared as a worst case scenario? Please, tell me this.
Well I would comment on that post but I think it belongs in another thread. This thread was started about New Orleans and whether or not it is race related.
Wow! MELLA brought this thread back ON-TOPIC! Petty politics aside... I really don't think these people would have been left like this for four days had they been white. Out of food... Out of water... Dead.
yA, AND WHEN'S THE LAST TIME A WHITE GUY WON THE 100 M? Sorry, that was a caplock mistake. But I digress. Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile, and still Wayne Gretzky has yet to comment on that. This is surely a sign that pre-pubescent females domination in the un-even bars is more than a hindsight. Brought to you by 'The Commitee For Obfiscasion'. female's, I meant, in a muddy sort of way. One question, if I may. Where, exactly speaking, is the cut-off between, let's say, a tree and a bush? Is it a matter of height? Or, number of trunks? If so, wood that be an elephant? Crazy Rob, I have a few images: here is a close up Mayhaps, but I doubt they would be left for days with a sentient being in charge of things, :O)
