That mentalitly started WW1.....now tell me why we should stoop to thier level?
They dont just behead anyone you know.
Even if you kill those insurgents all you do is create oppresion and fear, what kind of democracy will that be!

ummm, no, killing archduke ferdinad is what started ww1.
we dont stoop to any level. its them who set the level. our war was against saddam. these people are just opportunistic killers. we need to deal with them on a different level. that why geneva convention rules dont apply. we arnt fighting an organized military. we are fighting a group of "thugs" they need to be dealt with differently. i would describe how, but since i like this site, i dont want to get another warning. but you catch my drift here.....

U.S./U.K. are one of the superpowers NOT only two.

yes we are the only 2 superpowers that do anything about anything.
China is bad, but they stay out of conflicts. Russia is a shell of what they once were.
therefore, we call the shots. brittan is pretty much of our lapdog.
this is why the rest of the world hates us. cuz we are #1. when it was us versus russia, it was like good vs. evil. now that we won, its more like playing king of the hill. everyone wants to knock us down. yet, at the same time, they want us to bail them out the first time some trouble pops up. cant win, cant loose. oh well.
anyrate, my point is, these "insurgants" are bringing this all down on themselves. if they would stop the cheap shots, we could get out of there alot faster. they will all end up dead or on the run. and probably, that country will end up in a civil war within a year or so anyways. we got saddam out. let the elections happen, then bail.
I dont recall you calling us a lapdog when we outdo you at something.
Well we didnt want you to bail us out during the falklands.
They fight for reasons you wont understand or approve.

devilwasp--question..are you just trying to start an arguement? while opinions are allowed here, of course. we usually like them backed up in fact. also allow me to clarify something for you. when i refered to china as being "bad" i meant "bad-ass" (like us). please follow up on your vague references for me. such as:
what has scotland "outdone" us in?
you have a hand in intergovernemental policies and know this to be fact? appartently you did need us. as do most people. love us when you need us and hate us when your wrong...siiigh.
thats a broad assumption of my intelligence. i think i know why they fighting against us. maybe its because they are still loyal to saddam. whatever. people make wrong decisions everyday. (look at prince harry)
we will win in iraq because 1) we are right 2) the overwhelming majority of that country wants us to. 3) we have the military might to force it on them.
more lives will be lost and without a doubt whenever we decide its time to leave there will be some people there who delcare "victory". just as saddam did 10 years ago...lol.
i do, however, feel your right that we are using iraq as a staging point. which is good. that whole region is ripe for civil war, at which point we will undoubtly be called upon again to save some countries ungratefull as-ses. what better place to be than there and mobilized?
sidenote- england will go along with whatever the US does because they cant stand alone. from what ive talked about with other europeans, they feel like the UK is the US of europe. just that, america has alot more firepower, which equates to alot more power.
perhaps you and your fellow countrymen forgot 9/11, but we didnt. and i hope im wrong here, but consider this. what will you and your people wnat to do when a muslim extremist knocks down your buildings and kills your civilians? will you worry about their feelings?will you worry about offending someone? or will you want revenge? i await your answer. please be concise and to the point. please leave the vague references at home and also, PLEASE indicate when your are speaking your opinion rather than fact. tnks!
