“It’s high time that the central premise of American policy in the Middle East is challenged and the specialness of the “special relationship” is held up to scrutiny. This latest demand – that the U.S. expend its resources, including the lives of its young people, in yet ANOTHER war on Israel’s behalf – has nothing to do with defending the Jewish state against nuclear incineration at Iranian hands, and everything to do with keeping the Israeli boot firmly on Arab and Muslim necks. And that is not worth one American life.”

It seems to me that Anti-Americanism has long been unleashed and is currently making a mess on the carpet.

Hummm…. how can these bozo’s think that they is worth it?
Unless, that is… they somehow magically think that none of it matters
since too many believe that they’re all going to heaven and that none of this matters at all since it’s only a temporary planet we all live on “that was given to them by their god for their (mis)use”.

Huummmmmmmm
Isn’t this the SAME god that they worship by eating at a canniballistic alter with? How very Skull and Bones of them…
I think we’re all in D33P S41t*

I say that you’re WRONG and kneejerk reaction isn’t helping things
we should all embrace those conservative christians that see the light and just how “they” were duped by the K Rove/Bush tag team.

During the Vietnam war the most effective protester and draft card burners were not the long hair radicals but the well trimmed and “christian soldiers” that jumped sides after seeing what Jesus was really about.

Make no mistake, learn from history the progressive and traditional conservative “values” are the same. The real conservatives are actually very liberal. Jefferson/Constitution liberal.
-they’re just approaching the same goal points from a different direction as the long haired liberal ( again we’re constitution liberal) .
WE NEED THEM STANDING WITH US ON IRAQ!
fighting for the same things.
Vomiting the Bush line about “standing with us or being against “us”" back at people is not only wrong -but divisive.
it hurts the cause (correct the damage the bushies have done)
drop the us vs them mindset about us winning “over them”
and starting thinking more about how the goal can be achieved. sans ego.
being goal Oriented is the only way we’re all going to combat what’s happening.

The answer isn’t just “Islam”

Tthe ANSWER IS: All the ones based upon the hebrew old testament.
ie, the Judaeo Christian & Islamic monotheistic “religion of Abraham” religions certainly have all condoned war for national and political ends… and CONTINUE to do so.

they are certainly not the only ones through out history that have been used to motivate and unify people under a cause (real or projected)
Don’t fool yourself into believing the hype and swallowing what you’re told via commentary in the western (FOXâ„¢?) media.
Please do a bit of thinking on this one.

Right, as if most of the EU wasnt already close to the boiling point? To top it off, some SICKO French President is actively trying to “nominate” T. Blair (of the BushCo. family) as the “Presiden of the EU”.

Blair, you hung out with the wrong crowd, go dig a hole and stay there. As for BushCo et al – Evil begets Evil – You cant stop the Evil you started by doing more Evil, EOD. When are you Americans going to hold the US Congress etc. accountable for NOT impeaching BushCo for OBVIOUS warcrimes, blatent disregard for the safety of your own nation, and extreme corruption?

BushCo supports the death penalty (I consider almost *any* crime petty combared to what BushCo is, and have been, doing.) – put it to good use.

To follow the American doctrine we would have punished Iran by killing thousands or tens of thousands of INNOCENT people. Thats not hitting Iran, thats killing INNOCENTS.

I am Very proud of the UK Government. Maybe thats the difference between us.

The reason the female soldier was clothed as she was, is simple. Its not about dressing like a Muslim, its about covering the hair, which is seen as important in Iran. Tourists do it all the time when entering temples etc. Again, there was no humiliation.

America needs to wake up. If you go to Iran, your on your own. There is no way the UK will stand with you. The Australians won’t come. The poles have said no. It will be America and Israel ALONE.

You had the world with you after the 11th of September. You lost us all

Attacking Iran would be a huge mistake. It is one of the few countries in the middle east that is moving toward democracy on its own and a war would be a huge set back to that movement.

Heh, the UK humiliated themselves by not starting a war with Iran?

Yep, nice logic, America.

Personally, I think we should embark on a war against technology in 3rd world countries. After all, who’s next after Iran? Could be Guatemala or Indonesia that gets “weapon of mass destruction” technology next! If we just bomb them all, reduce them all to piles of rubble & corpses, THEN they won’t be at threat to us, right?
