what Bush administration is planning will make it come to that..the WWIII is not gonna be as you or I or anyone pictures it...by trying to polarize the world..they fanning more more cauldrons of discontent all over the world...WWIII is a world rife with terrorism...
Bali incident..had nothing to do with AlQaeda and is a prime example of the fact..That War on Terrorism..is only sowing more seeds for breeding more terrorism...

It does prove something, it proves Saddam has killed lots of his people since the mid-80s. The post I was replying to said he hadn't.

of course sadam is a danger... but we cannot and must not destroy a country for that
and again:
usa governors have also killed lots of people since 1945

The dossier contained good content provided by SIS, however this got overlooked because some monkey in Downing Street decided that it need some 'filler' from pages 6 to 16 so stuck in the plagiarised material.
I dare say SIS were none too impressed ;)

yes there's no denying his genocidal tendencies.. but worse offenders are lving out their lives in luxury as guesrts of the State in th US..Miami to be precise..
and Nazi's?...well all the scientists went on to get employed in the US nuclear weapons programs and NASA..
all the psychiatrists created the framework of the US and most of the Western worlds..mental health programs..
so Saddam..is not an exceptional case..

i totally agree with that, i'd like to see if there were no weapons
but it is surely more dangerous if the lunatic dictator like sadadm have access to those weapons than some democratic country

A Democratic Country like..say the US?... Bush got in on rigged ballots.. Peaceful protests are quashed forcibly and relentlessly..(Seattle anyone?)..
Homeland Defence is ensuring that absloutely no one's privacy is safe...
1000's of legal immigrants were held without any legal proceedings for months..
50,000 US Iraqi's are due to be pulled in for questioning and kept tabs on...
Democracy? I beg to differ..

i agree on that too, i dislike current american policy alot
but really you can't equalise the danger threatening from iraq or US
here's another point of view: where would you prefer to live US or iraq? i personally would pick iraq, but only because of the scennery :)
and i would never want to live in US...

Health Care and Education was State funded and of prime quality in Iraq pre Gulf War..better then what most Americans get I believe...same is true of most of the wealthier more stable Arab countires..Saudi Arabia..UAE etc etc..

thats why world needs people like aki kaurismaki
when he was invited to some festival in US, he refused to go, because some director from iran was invited as well, and they didn't allow him to enter US
so aki was like: ok, im not going, im getting the idea im not wanted neither, and he stayed in finland (and get drunk probably hehehe)

hmm..actually it is as bad...cash transactions in general are actually frowned upon..millions of reasons are given to encourage checking and electronic transactions..mugging is often cited by banks etc when you open accounts plus you need a credit card for renting cars, checking into hotels etc..

2 million people (the organiser numbers) 600.000 people (the goverment numbers)
so I dont really know how much we were, but I dont care, we were a lot and I am happy that so many people wanted to say NO to war
