Religious Scot

[brionon]

How many dead will ANOTHER religious Scot bring ?

[beryllium]

Okay, I'm shaking my head. What? Do you mean?

[brionon]

Blair = Scot {Scottish name,born in Edinborough,Scotland !}
WAR in Iraq ????
Brown =Scot ! Hence the question. Got it ?

[beryllium]

oh. Okey dokey :-) I wasn't sure....

So... dunno :-(
Do you think the body count starts from scratch when a new charge starts?

[brionon]

Yeah, why not ? Who will Brown attack d'you think ?
My monet's on Iran ! {Money,of course,but I like the Typo.}

[beryllium]

hmmmm... what odds are you giving on Iran?

[brionon]

How'dye like my Monet ?

Na Brown wll've seen what a fool Blair was -he'll keep well away i reckon.

[beryllium]

gawd, sorry lol... I did lol at monet :-)

Brown? do you see him just pulling out? I always get a bit confused about war crimes.... they haven't commited any?
it's a horrible mire, and I don't like looking into it.

[Theland]

No, Brown shouldn't go attacking Iran. After all, Iran really will stop the pursuit of nukes won't they? And if they did get them, they wouldn't attack Israel or the West would they? We can trust the mullahs and Ahmadinejad can't we?

[brionon]

Quite right ,We're the only ones to be trusted with Weapons of Mass destruction.{Now where have I heard that before ?}

[jno]

well, obviously the USA can be trusted with nukes; they're the only ones who have dropped any.

[jno]

sorry, just reverting to the question: I don't really know that Brown is a warmonger (who would have guessed that Blair was?) but it's a fair bet that he's well aware how much the Iraq venture has cost the country economically over the past few years. He budgets to save money; Blair blows it on a seemingly endless war. My guess is he will find better things to spend it on, while not necessarily pulling out of any countries we've already gone into.

[beryllium]

I wonder if the power will corrupt?

[amonty1144]

what do you mean 'will'. it has.
This was not a war about freedom, it was about oil.

[beryllium]

The very nature of the Earth. Causing war :-(

[radiogaga]

are most wars caused by religion? i think so. being religious never deterred t blair. illegal war. sad outcome for so many service mens familys. sad indeed

[whiffey]

It's always raised, USA is the only country ever to have used nuclear weapons. Yes, but what is a conservative estimate of the number of lives saved by the 2 Japan bombs ? Half a million, a million ?

The most telling fact is that they haven't been used since, and this is something we can squarely thank the USA for. In Iran's hands, well, watch out Tel Aviv.

[brionon]

Used on Cities ? even the God of the bible didn't destroy whole Cities. Oh -wait a minute though !!!

[Theland]

brionon - where the allies right to use the A bomb on Japan in WW2?
Before you answer, think! The Japanese had sworn to kill all POW's if Japan was invaded.
They swore to fight to the last man, taking a terrible toll on the allies.
But then, the bombs were dropped, and many thousands of allied POW and troops lives were spared.
So, come on, get off your moral high horse and tell us how you would have handled it differently.

[Theland]

Oh BTW, I owe my very existence to those two bombs being dropped, as my father was one of the POW's threatened with death.

[brionon]

Theland -Are you so unable to see another point of view ?
There were other targets than Cities For Your God's sake !!
