Breaking News
It has been reported that the Brave French have at last joined the war.
It is now been confirmed that the 21St Company of Cowards have last night attacked a British War graves Cemetary in France with what can only be described as some form of colored spray.
I can report that there were no British casualties but I have been informed that at least 5 French Cowards broke there finger nails whilst removing the lids of there spray paint.

Good one.

Always remember that going to war without the French is like going on a hunting trip without your accordian.

The desecration of the British (Called Rosbeefs) and Commonwealth war graves at Etaples in France includes the following:

"Rosbeefs go home... May Saddam prevail and spill your blood... dig up your dead, they are soiling our land."
"Death to the yanks."

Le Monde ran a poll which found that about 33% of the French respondents wanted Saddam to defeat "les anglo-saxons."

It will take some time to forget these things.

No kidding. Wha a sick breed of subhuman toilet carnage.


We're getting into a situation where the anti-coalitioners are getting desperate.

Yesterday, the liberal media came under heavy fire for distorted reporting, gross exaggeration of facts, and false rumor propogation.

Sadly, their agenda has been reduced to them not wanting to be proven wrong... and they are getting desperate in the process.

They HAVE helped with the war by tending our wounded - and for that we are very thankful.

this incident was incredibly dishonorable for the French, no matter the age of the people that performed the action.

Goes to show how The liberal appeasement minded, morally bankrupt European governments have polluted the minds of its children with anti-Americanism and anti-coalition rhetoric. This is just a normal by-product of their policies. This is the "fruit" that they have helped ripen.

When de Gaulle demanded that President Johnson remove all US soldiers from French soil, Johnson agreed, but requested clarification if that meant the US soldiers buried in French soil as well...

WWI? Not much. They pulled a scam, an albeit clever one. The debts agreements allowed Germany to pay off their debt in Marks.... so they proceeded to print money to pay off the debt at the price of massive inflation... carrying home paychecks with suitcase full of money.

WWII? I don't know the exact amount. Whatever it was... it was deserved. You reap what you sow.

Are YOU really so naive as to think that the major European powers are not in a geopolitical powerplay to bloody the nose of the USA and increase their prestige? Do you think their opposition is based on morals, or cynical self interest. European opposition has less to do with giving a **** about the Iraqi's and more to do with their own interest in thwarting the USA. Please...

Can you really justify their support of Saddam? That is what it is you know. They have the right to disagree with US policy, but they actively worked to oppose US policy. That is very significant.

Why do you think that the UNSC ultimatum should not be enforced? Please explain it to me.

Of course they have geopolitical aims and so have USA. But if you talk about the goverments have poisoned the minds of people, so explain to me why in Spain(belongs to coalition) ax. 90% are against this war. And again you think that if somebody is against Bush, he must support Saddam. In fact these countries wanted to continued WMD inspections in Iraq. And as far as i know that was the reason to this war or was it ?

France has a fairly large contingent of Algerian and other Arab immigrants some of which will be Islamic nutters, I would not be suprised if some of them were responsible for that desecration. The UK has a similar problem, in that it can't deport people they suspect of being Islamic nutters back to their own country if they have commited a crime in their country of origin and may face the death penalty, as we are against the death penalty, (I'm against the death penalty in our country but think we should send them back to the laws in which they did their crime).

On the subject of the French, what p1sses me off about them is that, whenever there is any civil unrest or they go on strike (quite frequently) they block the channel tunnel or port to try and f&uck up our workers and holiday makers at the same time - w&nkers. On the subject of the war they have every right to not participate if they, as a country, feel it is morally wrong or unjust, and also have a right to remain neutral.

The problim here with france and germany is there is no loyality for those who have helped them and they dont want to give up what little trade they have with iraq. OIL oops that slipped......lol

When you needed us, as you say, we (Germany) sent troops to Afghanistan to get rid of the Taliban, and the Bundeswehr is still there. Now in this war against Iraq, which has nothing to do with 9/11, we believe that it is wrong what the US is doing. When we think your policy is wrong, we won´t help you. It´s quite simple!

And as far as i know that was the reason to this war or was it ?


I will tell you why. This has been discussed in previous threads.

Its a question of leadership. The leader of France (for example)has several options. Some of the options support one another, some are contrary. But the leader is elected to lead and make tough decisions. Historically - there is a lot of anti-americanism in France. Its an undercurrent. The French look down on the Americans (and now call the USA arrogant!?!). France is also a former empire with all of the elitist baggage that entails. They also have significant direct economic interestes in maintaining the status quo in Iraq. They have significant indirect (relative to this conflict) interests in taking a leadership position within Europe and in world popular opinion. They also have significant muslim populations.

Weigh that against "doing the right thing." France signed a UNSC ultimatum giving Iraq a final chance (after 12 years of lies and deception that France knows about) to completely and immediately and unconditionally comply with UNSC Res. 1441 or face the consequences. The consequences of failing to comply mean that Iraq would be forcibly disarmed. There is no other logical interpretation. If 1441 was Iraq's last chance to voluntarily participate in compliance, then compliance would be enforced through external sources. Maybe "final" means something else in France?

The French FM said that Saddam could never be trusted. No one disputes that Saddam is a dreadful chap responsible for murdering and terrorizing hundreds of thousands of people. No one is denying Saddam's territorial and pan-arabic dominance ambitions, or his pursuit and use of WMD. So what do you do? Finally the UNSC gives an ultimatum but France categorically denied the option to use force. Some ultimatum.

France chose the easy route to support keeping murderous Saddam in power, bowed to populist sentiment, maintained the lucrative status quo, and temporarily increased French prestige. France chose to actively oppose (not just disagree with) its former allies US/UK. I'm not saying there is no logic behind it, but let's at least admit the reasons honestly. The conflict has become much more deadly for all involved because France led the position supporting Saddam's legitimacy, and increased his and his peoples will to resist.

The USA will digest all of this in time. Writers and analysts worldwide will write detailed articles and books about all aspects of this conflict - and what led up to it. When it becomes clearer that French led support for Saddam actually caused more death and destruction to US/UK/Iraqi peoples, France will have this to bear.

So leaders have to balance economic and political self interest, with what is right. Spain and UK leadership opted for what is right. They are brave leaders. France opted for its economic and political self interest.

The UNSC condemned Iraq for its continued support of terrorism (read the resolutions). Terrorists attacked US civilian targets. The USA declared war on terrorists and the countries that sponsor terrorism.

It seems like a pretty tight circle to me Domingo.

I would agree that some people I see in court, such as multiple child murderers should have a sickly death of some sort, but the amount of death sentences that get overturned yrs after the event and miscarriages of justice that happen make me against it. I want no part of innocent people being sent to their deaths. Also having some murdering scum think about their crime for 30-40 yrs seems nicer than an easy eascape with a quick death.

I am for the death penalty only when it can be conclusively proven that the convicted person is TRULY the guilty person.

I think the technology is almost there. If there is any doubt, the death penalty is wrong.

I am in favor of death penalty not because of deterence, but because it seems to me to be immoral for society to spend its precious resources supporting people who are incapable of living within that society.

Sounds cold I know. But is it better to give these guys cable TV's and 3 squares, and everthing else at a cost of 100K per year when that money could benefit society if spent somewhere else?

If people want revenge, best way to do it is to send a guy in prison for 50 years...

keeping someone alive for 50 years that is 100 percent guilty of murder is a waste of money.

Reply To this Message

Posted by: Charles

Why not just get rid of them if they are 100% guilty?

99% guilty isn't good enough. Must be 100%. But if its proven beyond a doubt, then get rid of them. I don't care about them. They don't cvare about their victims. I don't care if they are happy or sad and I don't care about revenge.

It makes more sense to buy a new telephone pole than to pay for some sick murderer/rapist to live in prison.

Forget about revenge Finn.

Tis true, but how do you determine 100%, that is quite rare in alot of cases, in the 1950s when they thought they were 100% sure we are now overturning their cases ( in our country anyway), these days DNA give us better evidence, but in a recent case in Texas a UK man was not even allowed to have new DNA evidence heard at the appeal, (he was sentenced in early 1980s before it was available), governor wouldn't even allow it in the court, glad we got rid of that archaic system in the 1950s. Currently our forces are trailing the old exibits from various unsolved cases in the past and looking for DNA evidence to try and convict more and also resolving unjust cases with DNA evidence, you can't reraise dead innocent men.

If I was in a jury I think I would need video proof ie from CCTV, or very good DNA evidence to convict for death, alot of cases in the states seem to be from various witness statements of which a significant few are dubious to say the least.

I am in favor of death penalty only if 100%.

In previous cases a person may have been convicted because jury thought he was guilty. That isn't enough.

Must be rock solid DNA or other evidence.

Then just get rid of them.

yes, France will loose a lot on this war. Not in iraq, because the trade that they do with this country is insignificant ( more than a half of what americans do). But they will loose a lot in america. Because this administration will not accept such a posture, they think the alliances are like those of the soviet union, but is not like that. French have not approved this war because they are allies, not sclaves, and they think that this war is not justified.

Saddam hussein has no proved relations with al-qaeda
Un inspectors have found no proves that saddam conserves Mass destruction weapons.
This war is been done without proves, without international law permiting it.
It was decided years ago, not now, but now the pentagon falcons and thir corrupted friends have foun the oportunity to do it

US was the biggest supporter of this regime when it did the biggest masacres (against the kurds and the chiits) and they betrayed this last comunity after the riots of 1991. USA administration knew perfectly what would happen to the ciits of the south, but did nothing (no surprise that they hve not surrended and helped us forces)

0.

Many here are against them. They were placed during Francos brutal dictatorial regime, because USA helped a lot this regime. Yes it is hard to be said, but the US suported him during more than 30 years, he was a fidel ally, so the support was very strong.

I do not want that they go home. I'm sure better times will come, and the US will react against this sort of...ok, no nazis, but extrem right administration.

I have always said i am not against the us as a country, as a people, but against his administration, and against some actd they have commited in the past.

I was also pretty furious about the desecration of the British war graves - I am willing to accept that this may have been the work of a small bunch of mindless idiots as the French government has stated.
What concerns me more is that in the same news report the following was reported: "Only 34% of the 946 people questioned said they were "on the side" of the US-led forces.

Just over 30% said they supported neither side. "

The remaining 36% were reported as "supporting Iraq". Please explain that one Mr Chirac - I'm waiting??

this incident was incredibly dishonorable for the French, no matter the age of the people that performed the action.


I agree with Dreamzwalker. Germany voiced their opinion about the war, but didn't act pompous as the French did. Since WW2, Germany has been a close ally to the U.S., and provided the greatest financial assistance after the 9/11 attacks.

Germany has always stood by our side, so I'll not have any Germany bashing.

Link to a picture of the German Navy destroyer, Lutjens - shortly after the 9/11 attacks. As you'll notice the destroyer is flying an American flag, rather than a German flag.

I agree that France ranks higher on the 'loathe' meter, but sentiment towards Germany isn't good either.

I'll give the Germans the benefit of the doubt for a while.

But the French...

are French.

They didn't just disagree as many apologists claim, they actively and efficiently pulled all the strings they could to OPPOSE the United States of America.

I think the French connection to Saddam is stronger than the Al Quada connection.

Luckily American's don't hold grudges for long - but I would like to see some movement on the French part - something very public -

I can honestly tell you not all of the soldiers share the opinion of the soldier pictured above. I have two very close friends in the 101st airborne, and neither of their companies feel animosity toward Germany. France is a different story.

Thought about it plenty.. Conclusion: don't know why and I don't particularly care at this point. Did you expect everyone to agree on everything all the time? They don't agree with the war, but I seriously doubt they'll turn their backs when it comes to the rebuilding of Iraq.

I do not want that they go home. I'm sure better times will come, and the US will react against this sort of...ok, no nazis, but extrem right administration.

I have always said i am not against the us as a country, as a people, but against his administration, and against some actd they have commited in the past.
spain has not so proud a past either. they brutalized plenty of people all over the world, yet we don't hold it against the spanish people today. i can't figure why none of you who oppose the war will answer the question i asked several days ago, why are so many people from so many countries willing to die to get to the u.s.a. if it is so bad? and here's a new one, could you please be specific in why you think bush is bad? no generalities- be specific

clinton isn't in power anymore, so we don't take polls before taking action. finland is, this makes my finnish blood curl, socialist and a threat only to the reindeer, so why should we consider finnish opinions?

I can't help but find it rather cheesy that once we get Bagdhad surrounded, the German Chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder, all of a sudden 'changes his mind'.

I can believe 10-20% of the world approved when the war with Iraq was pending or in opening stages, but I can assure you that number is substantially higher now. The approval rating in America alone is now close to 80%, and Canada is showing signs of support like many other nations following suit.

I'm not the least bit curious what went wrong. The people of the world want peace, but they need to understand the world will never be at peace with someone like Saddam running the show in one of the most hostile regions in the world.

When this war is over, Iraq will grow, and the people of Iraq will be able to live their lives as they should - free from tyranny and oppression. They'll be able to express their opinions without fear of being thrown in the woodchipper.

I, like many other Americans respect and value the opinions of other nations, but sometimes doing the right thing isn't always popular.

JAsasjasj, you do not have more things to say grets, please, what is that for a comparison???

You have to accept it, your country has played dirty sometimes and during many years. And the ones who have done this are governing, or alive, or have lived during the last 50 years. PLease do not search a 500 year old compariso, which comes not in case.

1. Spain did not existed 500 years ago. It was a confederation of nations governed by the castilian kings (castillia, Catalonia, Valencia, the netherlands, austria, neapel, corsica, halv germany, etc..). Which were not kings of a country, they were their owners. Spain's history is confusing and it is not clear when it became a real state. Some historians say it is not until 1714 that the castillian gov. invaded the rest of the countries of the federation (catalonia and valencia, who resisted the castillian kings for many years were finnaly beaten 1714). The name spain is also confusing, it is not clear when it was begun to be used, some people said it wasn't until the end of 1700 s.

Then, legally spain has changed a lot of times it's status. It was an absolute monarchy until 1830's, then a constiutional monarchie, then another time absolute. Then a republic, then another time a monarchie. 1933 it was declared a republic and then after a war, a dictatorship. After the dictator died we became at least a democracy.

So as you can see we have changed a lot. The actual spain is not the same as it was during americas conquest. It was not the same after. The whole political system changed, the whole political clase changed several times. We had wars, stste coups, dictatorships, and contradictatorhips, anarchist revolutions, etc....
We are deffinitely not the same. What have our actual politicians to do with the absolut monarchs of the 16 th century. Nothing.

That is not the case of the USA. You are the same political entity. The actual governants are from the same partys (some of them the sons of other politicians), the same legal code, the same constitution, the same "ideals", the same.


About the people reaching the USA...well it is ery simply, they have no future in their own countries. They are no searching the USA, they are searching economic prosperity. The usa is the superpower and has a great economy, so they want to come in. The seame happens in europe, australia an the rest of developed countries.

And this is a consequence of the bad practices of the first world countries. if we would give the oportunity to this countries to develop their economies, they would not come, it is sure. It is very hard to leave your country, all your family, friends, etc.. to go to a country where you will be a thing betwee animals and humans. This is so, society refuses inmigrants a lot of times. But this is generally not a racist reaction, the fact is that they a re poor. Oil millionaires of middle east are wellcomed around the world, but their poor ccizens are another thing.

I have to leave, but i will make you a list with the specific actions that have made from bush the worst president of the usa in the history.

Bush is a moral man. He is a good man with true values. I will not accept critisism of him.

You must remember we are fighting for our God.

WE are FIGHTING for our GOD post #1 quote:

For Bush said unto his people:

"we will export death and violence to the four corners
of the earth in defence of this great country and rid the world of evil."

"the liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world, it is God's gift to humanity."

And we will grant that gift onto them, that they might know our God and be released from their oppression.

As Bush said, those we fight are the "the forces of darkness" and they stand against the forces of light.

This is a war between good and evil.

The Day Of Reckoning has come!

These things will come upon us with the fall of BABYLON. And our soldiers at this very moment march on BAGHDAD the BABYLON of old!

The french government had the guts to stand up and be counted, they had the guts to represent the opinions of their people instead of shirking their democratic responsabilities. The U.S tried to bribe nations like turkey into supporting a war their people did not. I applaud the turks and french aswell as the germans, russians and chinese. Your arguement that France should have supported the U.S because of WW2 is simple minded and does not deal with the issue at hand. What are you saying, regardless of the wrongs or rights of going to war, france should have supported the U.S action? World opinion was and remains divided on the intentions of the U.S in waging this war, I'm just glad to see politicians get up of their arse for once, not accept the bribe and represent the concerns of their people...is this not the workings of a democratic society?

I agree you you Ireland, hilarious stuff. And very authentic sounding too

If he's not joking it's still funny because you can hardly call Saddams rag-tag military the stuff of apocaliptic nightmares.

dear Ireland,

betrayal is perhaps the nastiest of sins. It's something difficult to forget. I'm of Irish extraction, but I regret the Irish capacity to moralise about everyone but themselves. It's cheap and it's easy. When the chips are down I know who I'd like to see on my side - the Irish/French or the USA. That's why the Brits stick by them when they need a friend.

Of course...who would want the French to back them in a war. I mean the only war they ever won was the one in which they fought themselves...( I guess they lost that one also!)

Believe me the Irish have moralised about themselves a huge ammount. We've lamented our patriots and famine victims all too much but we've also lamented our religious leaders who let us down by commiting truely evil crimes, we've disected our society and brought our flaws to the fore even when it was too much to bear for some. Our politicians are a joke, none moreso then our Taoiseach who sold off our nuetrality by letting U.S war planes land for refueling on the way to Iraq. Believe me we moralise plenty. As for Betrayal?, that is the nastiest of sins? I'm sorry but passiveness during the moments a crime is commited is surely more of a sin. The world leaders have pasively supported the war while those who reflected the mood of their respective societies have been criminalised by the U.S (Take France for instance.) Why should you stick by the world's superpower when it is commiting wars that are unn
