[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Bah! Listen, a LOT of this has to do with the fekking media spinning things out of control. The "Gulf Part II" as THEY dubbed it didn't go long enough for their ratings - so they have to do something so people can go back to having their channels on 24 hours a day like Sep 11, Afgahnistan and The Invasion of Iraq. I think the situation in Spain - where the socialists were swept into power due to a terrorist act was a very bad thing as it just fueled the fire to terrorists saying if they do something heinious enough they can make a change on the way the Western World thinks. Terrorists aren't going to stop bombing people because they pull out of Iraq. A person is intelligent; 'people' are not. Our whole world has changed due to a handful of dispicable individuals (sep11). Who holds the greatest power in the world. Evil fear-mongers or the free peoples of the west? What lasting peace can be derived from cowtowing to thugs, petty criminals and murderers. These people have death-wishes. They should be pitied as their entire lives have involved death and destruction. Turning to Iraq - there is a power vacuum. And this young Shi'ite mullah in that Iraqi town 'says' he's greatful Saddam is gone - but obviously he wants what Saddam had for himself. Is everyone so disillusioned!?! These people are murderers - they killed and hacked to death innocent visitors to their country. If that happened in any civilised country they would be hunted down and brought to justice. People are having the wool pulled over their eyes through fear and ignorance. The media has a LOT to answer for - but seeing as just a few many control our media now and have become so powerful - any chance of answering to anybody about what they report is NOT going to happen. Sounds like the propagandist television of Eastern Bloc and Soviet countries of the Cold War. And in reguards to soldiers being killed in Iraq all the time - they were sent there, knowing that they could be killed. Don't give up on them - they are doing what few others of us could do, and I salute them - whole-heartedly. Maybe one positive thing that came out of the Madrid bombing is that the US people - maybe that should read the US media acknowledges that there is more than just the US in Iraq... there are many countries there trying to bring peace to the Iraqi people's lives. Yet a few thugs and rabble rousers - that have no jobs and no hope decide to join these gangs and militias. Hello [i]Taliban[/i] If anything more troops should be sent to Iraq to bolster support. That might mean the United Nations should join. If France and Russia stand by and let the country destroy itself, then they are just as bad as the people destroying the country itself. Russia might not have the money - but that hasn't stopped them before. France - has a crazy leader, one who needs to be closely watched. Pulling troops out of Iraq will do nothing but let thugs and criminals think they have 'won' and to take over. The BIG problem with Saddam Hussein (well amongst LOTS of other things) was the wealth he ammassed from Iraq's innate wealth. Iraqi citizens could be VERY well off if the natural wealth of their country had been put back into the social and economic pool of Iraq. The place is in abject poverty. A lot would blame sanctions and war... that didn't seem to stop Saddam and his Cronies from building hundreds of 'palaces'. [/QB][/QUOTE]
