We have gone down this road before Eki and you just refuse to admit Hussein was a thug, a killer and playing a game of poker against someone not willing to buy his bluff. Iraq is better off without him.Quote:

You going to tell someone in Prague or Warsaw the US is a greater threat to the world than Russia? You can try, but they KNOW who they had to spend 3 generations trying to rid themselves of.
American aint perfect, but they are not and never HAVE been the threat to the world's safety you always like to claim.
Lets just put this another way Eki. Whether it is Bush or Obama, No one in Canada nor Mexico is worried about invasion from the US. Ask the Chinese why they put a lot of troops on their border with Russian and ask people in nations such as Poland or the Ukraine how much they trust the Russians. Ask the Georgians. Maybe you in Finland should be wary......although The Russians seem to be more concerned with sublte covert ways of undermining a nation rather than driving in the tanks. We saw how well THAT went in 1980 don't we?
They were just desperate, just like some abused desperate divorcees are eager to shack up with anyone who wants them so that they won't end up being alone.Quote:

Your 'America can do no wrong' belief blinds you to the realities of the post WWII world for many on 'the other side' and makes you say absurd things.
Come on try thinking a bit...
Hey cool - does this mean we are no longer "your" country??Quote:
