Well, we were talking about education at previous pages of this thread :rolleyes:

Some people seriously think that Kurgan is only a tribe from "Highlander" film.

AFAIR when pres. Clingon announced NATO bombings of Yugoslavia - he had to explain to Americans what is Yugoslavia and where it is situated, and it took about half of his TV speech... :(

Yes USSR was a great form of government. At least it didn't start aggressive wars for some imaginary reasons.

Comparing Stalin and Hitler shows your obvious ignorance.

30 million? Why not more? Someone already said here that Stalin killed 100 million Soviet people. I wonder why  someone's still living here, when Stalin and War killed more people then the whole population of USSR at that times.

Iraq is just the start

"To promote peace in the broader Middle East, we must confront regimes that continue to harbor terrorists and pursue weapons of mass murder. Syria still allows its territory, and parts of Lebanon, to be used by terrorists who seek to destroy every chance of peace in the region. You have passed, and we are applying, the Syrian Accountability Act — and we expect the Syrian government to end all support for terror and open the door to freedom. Today, Iran remains the world's primary state sponsor of terror — pursuing nuclear weapons while depriving its people of the freedom they seek and deserve. We are working with European allies to make clear to the Iranian regime that it must give up its uranium enrichment program and any plutonium re-processing, and end its support for terror. And to the Iranian people, I say tonight: As you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you.

Our generational commitment to the advance of freedom, especially in the Middle East, is now being tested and honored in Iraq. That country is a vital front in the War on Terror, which is why the terrorists have chosen to make a stand there. Our men and women in uniform are fighting terrorists in Iraq, so we do not have to face them here at home. And the victory of freedom in Iraq will strengthen a new ally in the War on Terror, inspire democratic reformers from Damascus to Tehran, bring more hope and progress to a troubled region, and thereby lift a terrible threat from the lives of our children and grandchildren."

USA will have left Iraq before the end of Mars 2005 after letting UN taking  over the security. French troops will take care of the most troublesome areas: Fallujha, Mosul and Ramadi.

No matter if US-troops will "Run" or "walk" out of there, humiliated in the eyes of every sane person on this earth. Nato will be trashed after this and when Blair gets the Boot, the rest of your allies will turn their back towards you, as all countries involved, will be walking the same road as Spain: Changing Goverments in mass.

I presume you mean Iran going for nuclear weapons?

But that begs the question "Why does Iran feel the need for nuclear weapons?"

I suspect it may be because the US has just invaded the countries on either side of it, coupled with the observation that North Korea is being left well alone (not even a mention in the State of the Union), rather than any sinister plan for world domination or the destruction of their traditional enemy's enemy, Israel. Frankly, as the strategic and political situation is, the Iranians would be complete morons not to get nuclear weapons ASAFP: it's the only credible deterent against a US invasion within their reach. It is US actions alone which have forced them down the nuclear road.

I never said you were after Holiday Inn locations: I was always under the impression that this was to scout locations for Texaco, ExxonMobil, BP and the like, rather than Hotel chains. Hence the only ministry secured during the looting was the oil ministry, hence Iraq's oil is being set up to be privatised and sold to US & UK companies.

Still for those who are still true believers, here's some religious art for your chapel's ceiling:

Jackal, what colour is your corn shack? I'll need to know what I'm looking for. Is there a Marriott hotel in the area? (I'll settle for a Hampton's Inn)

To answer your earlier Q, no I have never been to AR. I'll pass through OK to get there - haven't yet been to OK either.

I'd guess that regardless of the amount of "excess" mortality among Iraqis since the US lead invasion/liberation, those figures are more than counterbalanced by the end of the children's starvation and other excess mortality caused by Saddams dviersion of Oil-for-Food money for euro-bribes and palaces during the sanction regime.
