Lots of anti-American ranting here from those who seem to resent the fact that the U.S. chose to defend itself after the 9/11 attack. The hate GWB crowd would apparently rather die than defend their county because that would mean agreeing with him. The Euro crowd are just pissed that the days when they could sit back and pretend everything was just ducky are over.

Sauron

When the chips are down and our national security is under threat, which it is now I am certain ordinary people are prepared too defend their Country. This problem has been a long time coming, it’s just that American foreign policy has speeded things up. The trouble with Britain is it’s too easy going, it may soon be time too pull up the Drawbridge.

Ok well seeing that this thread is on it’s last legs, here’s some more info on Global warming .
The met office says that by 2100, heatwaves in Europe will be common during the Summer. Something like several heatwaves per summer this is due too the fact that the soil will be dry, which means evening temperatures won’t drop so much.
What hasn’t been mentioned is all the Heat being retained by concrete buildings etc. So I would say our buildings and roads etc, will also help Global warming.
It really is going too be very uncomfortable too live through this time, and I guess crime will soar in the process. Hot weather can make certain people behave in an anti social manner. All I can say is this,with all the high Temperatures, insects, Water shortage , flash flooding, violent Storms and food production problems , there wont be much too be happy about.

This sort of Terroism has been bubbling away for a long time in the Philippines. It’s not just a problem for USA, RUSSIA or BRITAIN, there are people out there just waiting too have a go. For a long time the West and Russia have dominated the World, now we see an uprising against it. Add too that the cultural differences, and you have conflict, it’s as simple as that. The only winner from all this is the Grim Reaper. Just think what was going through the minds of those men that destroyed the WTC, obviously Death too them was the final reward against Imperialism, what a sad World.

Self delusion.

I first heard about it on the Radio in my Van at Work, and just couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Then arriving home too see it on TV, was a shock too say the least. Too see such pornographic violence of a sadistic nature being played out on TV, certainly gave me a new insight into Human nature. One things for sure, those entities ( even Animals wouldn’t be so cruel) ended the same way, all because of self delusion. You don’t improve the World by killing Innocent people, unfortunately not everyone can see it that way. At the same time , how do you improve the World with different Cultures at different stages of development. This has got too be one of the biggest problems facing Mankind in the 21st Century. This just proves how devisive, technological development can make the World.

Pandoras Box.

You can put as many men in Afghanistan as you like, and you may win the Battle in the short term. However experience in Vietnam has shown that this dosn’t mean you’ll win. Likewise Iraq is the same situation, a long drawn out War between two opposing ideoligys. Equally the sheer cost in terms of lives and tax payers money for what, so that Democracy can be spread too those parts of the World that don’t want it. The opposing ideoligy is surely hell bent on destroying us and our way of life. In my opinion the whole thing is a Pandoras box , with all manner of nasties waiting too destroy us. I wish I could be less pessimistic about our future. but it dosn’t look good. I think we should be looking at the real threat closer too Home, and dealing with that in a more effective way. Fat chance of that I suspect.

Is there any hope.

Violence only begets more violence – what sort of world do you want your children to grow up in?

Steve.

Exactly it’s a vicious cycle with no way out. Do some people seriously think that by going too another Country and killing, they are going too solve the Worlds problems. Nothings changed since the second world war, In fact its much worse now because since the IRA problem the war is being taken too the ordinary person in the street. So hello 21st Century here we go again, more propagation of violence with no end in sight. I feel sorry for the kids just as you do, what must they think when they watch tv. I don’t want too see any more killing, any more than you do, and my previous post was not meant too approve of it in any way. However What I said is true, the only way it will stop is when it gets out of hand. 🙁

Moonbase USA

I have read on another Website that the reason NASA wants too set up a moonbase, is too provide Earth with a defensive system too destroy Alien Spacecraft that pose a threat too us. If this is true we are talking about inter galactic Warfare, a very worrying prospect for our future. I certainly hope this not too be the case, the consequences could be horrific. 😮
