    Is Iraq in a Civil War NOW?

    Under some definitions of the term Iraq is quite definitely in the midst of civil war. I contend that the classification of the violence in Iraq has less to do with the level of violence and more to do with the fact that the country is under foreign occupation, therefore it may still be classed...

    The Republican News Channel

    It should be stated that although Fox News have more regular viewers, more people tune into CNN casually to be informed about current events. Fox viewers are split between conservative and liberal ideologues who watch only to be infuriated or comforted. My advice to the left; stop watching Fox...

    Michael Moore - liberator or slanderer

    Well, what are these demonstratable half-truths, lies and distortions. And you can't tell me Michael Moore doesn't think he has an agenda. I saw one agenda running all the way through Farhenheit 9/11, he was trying to appeal to African-Americans, showing the theft of their vote in Florida, and...

    Michael Moore - liberator or slanderer

    Complain? Hardly, as long as they remain honest and scrupulous in their analysis. Of course if I find what I consider to be a deceit in this analysis I may contend a point or two. But other than keeping a civil tongue in your head you may say whatever you please as far as I am concerned, I...

    downing street memo fact or fiction

    I think we can all agree, or at least those of us without GOP blinders can agree that the document is highly damning for the Bush Administration. Of course it could be that British security, intelligence and policy chiefs had absolutely no clue what was going on what was going on in the U.S.A...

    Michael Moore - liberator or slanderer

    Yeah, if Michael Moore had made Super-Size Me you may have a point, but as Moores movies focus more on corruption and deceit at the highest levels of American society, not the excesses of average Americans. Why not try listening to what Moore has to say, rather than dismissing it out of hand...

    Does U.S. Foreign Policy bear any responsibilty for the rise of Islamic Extremism

    That is not much of an argument. Are you saying that in the majority of cases the U.S. have cut and run? That's just not true, the example of this people usually cite is Vietnam and even that has some problems. The reason the U.S.didn't 'finish' the job was because the war was spiralling out of...

    Does U.S. Foreign Policy bear any responsibilty for the rise of Islamic Extremism

    I really don't want to sneer at American efforts but none of your links give any firm data on individual charitable contributions. One of them simply compares this years stats with last years, and of course it doesn't draw a distinction between domestic charity and foreign charity. One of your...

    Does U.S. Foreign Policy bear any responsibilty for the rise of Islamic Extremism

    Again, I must separate my views of the American ruling class with the facts about U.S. citizens although I would like to know where you got the information on individual contributions. But, the fact about Sweden was also fairly irrelevant, and yes it is irrelevant, the United States is the only...

    Do you think it was the right decision to drop the atomic bombs on Japan to end WW2?

    How was South Vietnam a threat, or Nicaragua, or Iraq, or East Timor or the Phillipines or most recipients of U.S. intervention. The U.S. is a terrorist state, there are plenty of facts to confirm this, asserting the opposite does not necessarily make it true.

    Does U.S. Foreign Policy bear any responsibilty for the rise of Islamic Extremism

    That is quite irrelevant. So there are no countries that have a moral foreign policy to my knowledge, but then I know nothing about the foreign policy of Sweden (other than it gives the largest percentage of its GDP per year in foreign aid) or Azerbaijan (zip) or countless other countries like...

    Bush is a war criminal...

    The U.S. and it's population were extremely reluctant to enter WWII until Pearl Harbour when the point became moot.

    Does U.S. Foreign Policy bear any responsibilty for the rise of Islamic Extremism

    If all American caused deaths were in the interests of freedom and democracy and were instrumental in defeating greater evil, my point is that this is not the case in the majority of the case. U.S. backing of tyrants such as Pinochet, Saddam, the Shah of Iran and countless others was wholly...

    downing street memo fact or fiction

    When can we get back on topic. Although there really is very little support for the argument that the Memo is a fake, especially since the 'alledged' authors have at least tacitly and in some cases quite candidly confirmed its authenticity. But even the topic of whether or not Bush, Blair and...
