Acriku Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 France has existed since Caesar and probably before then, just under the name Gaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Emprworm, weren't you the one to say that motives are irrelevant as long as you do the right thing? (about Bush and Afganistan)Well, I agree. Whatever motives France and Russia have (oil, for example) are irrelevant. What matters is that they are doing the right thing.

nemafakei Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 I strongly disagree. An alternative to war is pretty definitely the right thing (in my opinion), but we cannot condone ill intent.Anyone else laugh when Blix threw one of Colin Powell's bits of 'evidence' out of the window?You'd think the US would be just that littel bit less desperate than to display "what could have easily been a routine operation" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 yes that was so funny. Colin even looked aghast.lol America has become a laughing stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted February 15, 2003 Author Share Posted February 15, 2003 Dude_Doc the US has had people in Iraq for months now and they are already bombing in the no fly zone along with the UK. The war has technically already started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Well, there will never be a war. There will be a conflict.A war requires a declaration of war ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted February 16, 2003 Author Share Posted February 16, 2003 Ok its an undeclared war. :)The US hasn't declared war since WWII I think...?I was listening to the radio last night and they had a former weapons inspector on. I found some interesting articles about some of the things he was talking about.http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2002/12/6/111433http://newsmax.com/showinside.shtml?a=2003/1/25/03638 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edric O Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Errr, Gob, have you looked around the site which posted the two news articles you linked to above? (www.newsmax.com, I think)Did you notice the part about "Sept. 11th - China's master plan to destroy America"? Or the stuff about "Immigration is out of control! Tell President Bush to deport illegal aliens"? ::)Somehow, I don't think that's a source I would trust... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted February 16, 2003 Author Share Posted February 16, 2003 Well one is an interview and the other is just a report on what the guy said. I was just looking for print versions of what he talked about last night and those were the first pages google returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude_Doc Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 It seems that the US will remove all their forces from Germany (move to Poland). I read it recently... heck, Germany will be pissed of... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Germany *is* pissed off.Did you see the huge anti-war demonstrations all over Europe yesterday? In London alone there were over 1 million people! :OIn Germany, a few ministers actually participated in the demonstrations. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 well if I was Bundeskansler I would demand a public excuse from mr. Rumsfeld.qoute: "there's some countries that wouldn't like to see a war, I believe it's such countries as Lybia, Syria and...Germany" unqoute (correct me if I'm wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I believe war is not an option whatsoever. I am against war! it might lead to nuclear war if saddam really has got chemical weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Ummm, no it won't. Only use of nuclear weapons can lead to nuclear war. Duh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I'm really pissed with our current prime minister, Balkenende. If the majority of a country is against war, you'd think that their leadership would reflect that ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Hehe:http://www.yourbigfun.com/giggles/view.cfm?page_id=240A little relief from the seriousness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 It's too bad I couldn't be there with those demonstrations. I had to work....But Balkenende is just plain stupid. How can you want to fight such war?I'm just tired of people who always think about wars, wars and wars.We had wars since the existence of humanity. Did that help in making peace?Never...Wars will always lead to new wars. Until there is no one left. And I don't think that is what everyone wants.

nemafakei Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 "In Germany, a few ministers actually participated in the demonstrations. "Same here; among them Mo Mowlam, an ex-cabinet MP (who seemed very ill) and Charles Kennedy, the Leader of the Lib Dems (Third largest party)Acc to the BBC, one of the slogans was "Make Tea, Not War". Heheh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude_Doc Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Well, I can say that at least it is better to have wars form time to time, instead of having a one big, neverending war that represents all wars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
