I, for one, do not trust the CIA and MI5. The CIA overthrow President Salvador Allende of Chile and replaced him with General Pinochet! It aided the South African apartheid government the African National Congress (ANC) and got Nelson Mandela jailed, it has assassinated or attempted to assassinate dozens of people, and is very skilled in 'interrogation'--if you know what I mean.

MI5 and the CIA also trained the people who became Al Qaeda. THe tactics they use now are the ones we taught them. I guess we should be proud...

I know the Soviet Union, and the British and other empires were horrible. But the American Empire isn't any better.

For a list of US assassinations and assassination attempts see:

Also, how dare George W. Bush say that he will prosecute Iraqi leaders if they use nuclear weapons. I agree that using nuclear weapons is the crime against humanity of (mass) murder as well as various violations of the Geneva Convention (e.g. wilful killing of civilians, making civilians the inevitable target of an attack, wanton destruction, etc.) But the USA is the only country to ever use nuclear weapons in warfare, against the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and in doing so killed hundreds of thousands of civilians outright and causing radiation sickness, infertility on countless others--not to mention cancer and mutated children.

Alex, I *have* to get that book you quote! Thank you for the information on what Kennan said!

Thanks for the link, Commandant, I went and had a look and printed it out...

I agree that Bush isn't fit to drive a garbage truck much less a country.
Saddam is bad, obviously, but killing innocent people to get at him is NOT ok. As far as I can tell Bush wants a war so that he will get re-elected (You started it, you finish it sort of thing).
The Tybalt quote was creative and an accurate description by the way, tikibobber.

War is never good ! All wars or most of them are unecessary ! Money is the object for most wars nowadays just ask bush and blair... By securing iraq they won't have to go to the saudi's for oil..it's oil or nothing...So many lives will be lost the poor average person in iraq will suffer like they have been suffering for decades!
One last thing why don't the 3rd world countries gang up and demand to see the MASSIVE STOCK OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS that USA and Uk have ? Why don't these guys demand to see their weapons ?
One extra last thing this war for Bush is personal he wants to make daddy proud for fouling up in the 90's !!!!

Some have asked for the right to forcibly bring about 'regime change'in the USA, as well...

Hi Guys,
The latest from the news is the the US is gonna pull it's forces out of Germany because they do not co-operate. Well aint that just nice! Now the Germans can be happy that they'll not be a terrorist target, they will be able to make their own nuclear weapons Mmmm and they they won't have to put up with the likes of Bush and Rumsfeld pushin em around! Every German should rejoice at this great news it's just a pity that the UK still has to put up with "help" from these yoyo's and I hear that Poland will have to "welcome" this rubbish into their country. If they do they must be mad! Turkey has screwed some extras dough from the US but they too have designs, they want Kurdistan and that includes the oil fields of Kirkuk. If that happens and the yanks take the Rumalia oil fields in the south of Iraq there will be nothin left for the Iraqis post Saddam anyway. Interesting too that the US is now showing off pretty pics of the Iranians nuclear efforts just a pity they don't show the same pics of the Israelis nuclear establishments but....they wouldn't do that now would they?

"The latest from the news is the the US is gonna pull it's forces out of Germany because they do not co-operate."

Oh no! How will Germany defend itself from an attack from the Soviet Union now?!

We shouldn't go to war we ant world peace

Too darn right, Olinga! 6 million of us marched last weekend, in 600 cities. Why don't the unholy trinity of Bush, Blair and Howard *take notice*?

i do

me to

I agree to. I have tried to see things from bush and blairs perspective but I can't ram my head that far up my own ass.

Glad you liked my site. I've put the speech on in French now (although it probably doesn't make any sense).
