The Official War Room

[mr. k]

Man, friendly discussion... Lets all try and hold our mouths, no need to take personal shots (or shots at a persons NATION) just because he said a few little things...
But really. If this war really does go down, what will the implications be? Currently the middle eastern population in general is not very happy with the US, and now that we are forcibly invading a middle eastern state (btw are the US' actions legal under international law?) whats gonna happen in terms of isolated terrorist cells? Whats gonna happen to the world economy? During the gulf war the American economy rose. But I have heard many different things, and none of them seem like they would be a good outcome from the war on Iraq. What will happen to the different groups of Iraqi's? The Kurds, Shiites, and Suni people (those spelled right?) have always had disputes, could this be the time for the kurds to establish their own nation?
Lets turn this childish mudfight into a real discussion, why not?

I've taken note.

So, anyone can help me to catch US TV on my iMac please ? I'm very much ignorant of your TV channels, I know only CNN and Fox, any other one worth looking at ?

Kanecorp, dude, chill out. No need for name calling and such. You definitely don't help any argument you might have by the approach you have chosen. Keep in mind that many, and esp. foreigners, don't have the same agenda that the US does. And while many of their arguments might fall along the lines of "war bad, peace good", you have to realize that any amount of trying to reason is not going to get you far. State your arguments, if they counter with intelligent points, great, counter back. If they come back with "war bad, peace good", learn to give it up.

I wish 9,000 of our men weren't buried in French ground that died protecting your country. I wish we didn't protect you during the cold war.

I don't know about anyone else, but the blatant bigotry you are displaying here is pretty shameful.

Today's economy has nothing to do with 1991: a war today means Stock Exchange crashes, and no industrial boost.

I think your spelling is alright.

The Kurdish nation (if that's a good thing, I have no fixed advice) needs no bombs to be created. The very last Kurdish nation rose in bombs and collapsed in bombs. The Kurdish population has already expressed its wishes for no more war around their national problem.

Well thanks for the calm *personal attack removed* responce. I am perfectly willing to talk civilized about this, but it is impossible when *personal attack removed* people say things likes "war bad, peace good".
They dont understand, that there will be no peace, without this war.
