Sorry ? I thought this war was to dissarm Iraq WMDs in the first place?

you have a short memory.

the war is part of a larger war against terrorism and states that harbor terrorists.

get it now? No?

no hope for you then.

That's ok then.

Please explain to me where it was contradictory....

Hey Wolfgang, didn't know you missed the Colin Powell Security Council Show.

Too bad

America was threatened by Iraq in no way, it was just plain ridiculous.

Blitz - did you believe Comical Ali's press conferences?

Do we have riots and petrol bombs in the US?

Well there has been a riot of two. There about the same as your soccer(football) games..

But if you threw a fire bomb at the police in the U.S. you'd get a 9mm round between your eyes before it landed. It would be good for Europeans to keep that in mind.

I don't care whatever reason u wanna seek behind the invasion of Iraq.

For me it is human rights.

Saddams regime was so disgusting u can never imagine.

So what ever reason there is i bless USA/GB got rid of it.

Sometimes u have to put some deed to the word.

And that germany, russia and france where against it smells badly and u know it.

Seems them three had already had big interests with Iraq.

My country didn't have any and doesn't deal with dictators like Saddam.

That's why we at least politically supported it.

And that even from an again falling gouvernment.

Actually you'd get a whole bunch of bullets, all over your body, because every cop within shooting range would open up on you.

i remember those. the sky was black for a couple of days.. my dad said "if they had any sense they'd have gone a few blocks over to hollywood and burned that. now, that'd get everbodys attention."

odd point: seems like very time theres a riot, the rioters burn down THEIR town. bonehaids. iraqi's seem to be no smarter.

'65 or '68, the point still stands.

As for opening fire on those throwing petrol bombs, I'm not so sure your police would open fire with normal rounds unless they were cornered or trapped. Generally, if you look at the Northern Ireland riots, or the race riots here in the '80s, there tended to be a hard core of petrol bomb throwing tards with a larger crowd of demonstrators (maybe throwing rocks etc). British police tended to use rubber bullets and tear gas - less collateral damage. I think American riot police would also try and limit loss of life.

ur diggin deep - riots almost 40 years old?
are you saying ur rioters are 40 years behind ours?

Dowding · « **Reply #43 on:** April 17, 2003, 07:28:19 AM »

OK, how about the LA riots? Seattle anti-globalization riots? Lots of violence there and very recent.

I like how you turn rioting into a transatlantic competition - that's not my point at all.
