Look, it's still spin, assumptions and opinions.
For example, the maps you had only show Baghdad and NOT Iraq as a whole.
Oh, and the pictures of children. Please, come on, what are you trying to prove with that propaganda? Those pictures prove what? Nothing!
Are you suggesting that U.S. troops and allied forces are intentionally capturing or killing civilians?
Sorry, but you have proved nothing.
Also....word of mouth from some UK friends... prevailing attitude seems to be attack now or face a far worse scenario 10 years from now?!!!??

As to the pictures of the children, they are the heart and soul of their countries, and pictures should be everywhere of them, and the horrors of war.

Good to see the bright sparks have come out - the reality is, as evidenced by your own posts, that it is unequivocally Americans who are unable to accept they are one of the many, their cocksure self belief that they are some how better than everyone - do you fail to realise that almost every part of my "computer" was made in Asia- probably Japan.

You car manufacturing industry, in fact most industries outside of weapons, are decimated. You have moved to a service based economy in technology and yet in the past 24 months have outsourced this to India at unprecedented levels - then present facts and figures from three and four years ago - the reality is I live in Europe, have lived in Asia, South East Asia, have travelled to almost every continent and scores of countries in which I have worked and studied, and I should know how Americans are viewed - as I am one of those doing and associating with the viewers - you can not know how you are percieved as you are the the subject of this perspective and are therefore not in a position to state what this perspective is, and no matter how naively you think you can, you are not in a position to DICTATE how you are seen. Hence you do not know and simply stating otherwise makes you look foolish beyond all measure - my point exactly.

Don't any of you guys on here, wherever you're from, think that it is highly arrogant and to a point laughable, that the only country to have used nukes in anger is telling other countries that they can't have them.

Oh i agree Jbeck, they all p"*s in the same pot for sure, but don't you think wiping out people indiscriminantly, more so than usual, with nukes, is a little angry? it's hardly being a little bit annoyed is it. Still, you're right, the brits we're probably itching to see it tested on that scale for the first time too-MONSTERS!
It doesn't invalidate my point though.
Not funny ha, ha, just laughable.
In other words, we droped those atomic bombs so that we wouldnt have to kill even more innocents in order to end the war. They were not dropped in anger, but in compassion and with great sorrow.

No one would question the wealth of America over Iran - however the fact that America has knowingly raped the prospect of the third world ever escaping blinding poverty through profoundly unfair trade restrictions, development debt, IPR restrictions, tariffs, and now disgustingly bio fuels, and for Iran, Iraq, crippling sanctions which at the most conservative estimate cost the lives of half a million children should be paraded around this internet as some sort of moral achievement or vindication of power is repugnant in the most absolute form.
It is an endless source of wonder that Americans would prefer to conjure up fantasies rather than admit equality with any other nation
any idea of equality or any suggestion which remotely questions what must be the severest case of narcissism and egotistical mania is met with total delusion.

Jeez, atom bombs and compassion do not belong in the same sentence mate, not yet anyhow, a terrible future scenario and event not withstanding. Ok then, lets nuke all the starving people in the world and release them from their slow, drawn out, agonising death-which we can see happening and could feed them easily, yet nothing is done.

I imagine it looks that one to someone who isnt mature enough to understand the terrible choices faced by FDR.
