Maybe they are looking for independence from oil, so that they can sell it
to the west at 250 a barrel and not hurt their own economy, who knows?

Even Saudi Arabia knows that oil is a finite ressource. Why do they invest
so heavily in tourism and other developments there? They can have a happy
life right now doing nothing, but they are building for a different future
there. A friend of mine is flying for Emirate Airlines nd he sees first
hand what is going on there (and there are dozens of reports in the media
about that).

Will it be greater if the west goes in first,

please don't mix "the west" and "the USA". Thanks.

You mean: _everybody_ in Europe (or Germany, Austria and other occupied
nations) have been happy following the propaganda and the regime?

Less than that - Hiroshima and Nagasaki are both bustling cities now.

well, it seems that - just like in your country - the citizens are not
always the same opinion as their leaders.

So it sounds like your strange anger has been misplaced and should be redirected
toward your own leader.

on this point? yes. We should not host the visit of the president of the
USA under these circumstances.
I decide with my vote. It's not much. But at least I do vote.
ah, and I would not call it anger. It's just not OK to restrict rights of
citizens to please a handful politicians. They are hree for us, not we for
them.

I would have thought that the terrorist attacks in Madrid and London

Until then, I'm afraid we're on our own.

You seem to have forgotten about Britain, who is currently just about
the United States' only ally. Last time I looked, it was a member of the
European Union.

You can't quite generalize the EU like you can (say) the US: Europe is
not a country, rather, it's an agglomeration of many sovereign
countries, each with their own foreign policy.

It is interesting that we, the west, are making nice with Pakistan, who
not
only *has* the bomb *already*, but is the source which sold nuclear
secrets
to various not-so-savoury characters and countries.

That's what happens when you have a nut-job regime that has The Bomb.
You are forced to deal with it as an equal -- no matter how unsavory
the country.

Which, of course, is why Iran -- the pariah of the world for 25 years
-- wants one so badly. Ditto North Korea.

At least China is keeping the lid on North Korea; no such restraint exists
for Iran. In fact, Europe indirectly and Russia DIRECTLY are encouraging
Iran if not egging them on.

If any state or foreign country would like Durbin they are welcome to him.

I suggest Iran, North Korea, or Cuba. Condition: they have to KEEP him

He has a simple philosophy...he is against everything. I have no idea why
people vote for him except that he is a democrat and many people in IL
blindly vote for democrats.

Hmmm...democrats? In that epitome of corruption?

Not entirely true, Jim. They were air-burst bombs *in order that*
there would be a minimum of radioactive debris.

They were air bursts because the shock wave spread out, maximizing damage.


Had Little Boy and Fat Man burst at ground level, the situation in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki would not have been nearly so mild.

If it had been a surface detonation, the damage would have been
substantially LESS.

is this _all_ you can bring up?
Europe needed help and asked for it, your prents or grandparents granted
the help and we were thankful (and paid our share the coming years).

Well actually you didn't. Most of the debt was forgiven.

Only one nation repaid it's debt (Finland, I think). Most paid back NOTHING.

Well brickbrain:

In the US, as opposed to Europe, citizens are still the masters, not the
servants (though many are looking for the teat and our public schools,
devised after the the Prussian (just up the road from you) model, has left
many incapable of rational thought (like the overwhelming majority of
Europeans).

In the US, as opposed to Europe, we're citizens, not subjects.

In the US, as opposed to Europe, govenment exists (ostensibly) to serve the
people, the people don't exist to serve the state or the collective.

In the US, as opposed to Europe, we protect the right of the individual, we
don't make them subservient to "der volk".

In the US, as opposed to Europe, we're generally free thinkers, not parrots
of the rulers.

In the US, as opposed to Europe, we're governed, not ruled.

The reason the Europeans are so fond of the Islamofascists is that they are
so closely allied philosophically. Birds of a feather.

Here is a favorite of both the Islamists and the Europeans:
"Thus state of mind, which subordinates the interests of the ego to the
conservation of the community, is really the first premise for every
truly human culture..." Adolf Hitler, _Mein_Kampf_

You know him, don't you, Martin? Your countryman.

Bootkisser.

Come on back, Martin, let's see that childish rationalizing the left is
famous for.
