In the same way you keep calling me a 'Rapturist', perhaps?

Well firstly how about addressing the point made by Bagpuss, as opposed to saying my viewpoint on the situation is simple.Originally posted by Lucy View Post
Secondly, simple is the viewpoint that supported a war on flimsy evidence, with no post invasion plan and the naive assumption that a Saddam free Iraq was going to be full of smiley happy Iraqi's who would happily co-exist in peace and promote democracy in the middle east. Now that was monumentally simple. Some of us kind of figured that this was gonna be a complete mess (Though I doubt anyone realised the scale of the f cuk up we were about to induce).
I feel much safer now, knowing we had a chance and world opinion behind us to have a crack at Al Queda, and it's ideology and we went for Iraq instead and became #1 recruiting agents for Islamic extremism. Smart move.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

I think you will find that Al Quaeda had plenty of excuses to bomb the West whether or not Saddam (that well known Islamic fundamentalist) was around.Originally posted by snaw View PostLet us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

I said us going into Iraq acted as a recruiting agent for Islamic extremism (Recruitment. Capiche?)
You know, sort of turned public opinion against us in Islamic countries and communities (Not too mention everywhere else in the world). Caused a few angry young Muslim men to take things a step further. That sort of thing, cause and effect.
Maybe you forgot but after 9/11 public opinion globally was sympathetic towards the US, and the 'war on terror'. Then we went into Iraq. Now look at it.
Don't recall mentioning excuses to bomb us.Last edited by snaw; 8 May 2008, 07:54.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

This might be the final shift in momentum towards Obama that kills off the Hilary campaign. Here's hoping.
