Rather than this confrontational pre-emptive, beat them before they beat us country that Bush seems to want, I want the U.S. to be more of a, "You make me get out of this easy chair and I will kick your ass" kind of country.


I agree!! :D :D :D

Protesting war is nothing new.  It even happened during WWII.

So you wouldn't mind seeing another 9/11 or two?  How about four or five?

Apparently, its still a split decision. If this is insanity, then so be it.

What's all this about Greece? Perhaps I misunderstood, but I did not insult Greece. I just mentioned the resignation of the Greek ambassador as another sign of how complicated this situation is.

Big demonstrations on the island of Cyprus today in favor of having the whole island put under Turkish rule. Turkey and Greece have been at odds over who owns the island for many years.


Interesting, I always thought that Turkey invaded half of the island from Greece after which they have been living in half-war for decades.

I also thought that people were demonstrating to unite the turkish side to the greek one so that the island could join European union, of which Greece is a member of and Turkey not. Therefore it would be extremely illogical to demonstrate FOR turkish rule.

I'd be highly surprised if a country like Turkey would ever be accepted to the EU either..

Unfortunately, that's exactly what it is going to take. There hasn't yet been enough blood spilled yet; that's the bottom line.

It may strike you as odd that this is so... but it is so and you just have to accept that fact.

Enh?? Whatcha getting at? Are you implying that Turkey is ok to have as a NATO partner, but not worthy of EU participation?

Why?

Just curious....
