Having Peacekeepers from other Muslim countries would command alot more respect and certainly ease the situtation. But still I don't understand why these countries are unwilling to get involved, it's very sad.
MS, with all due respect I appreciate what you're saying but even when I do agree with you, and I have on previous occassions, you still disregard my comments and always highlight the things you don't like to hear. For one why the heck do you think I'm living in Dubai and left the UK with zero intention to go back? Because it's awful and I can't stand the place!!! I loved growing up in Saudi, the place was very good to my family and I have fond memories of it, so please don't try to use the excuse I was brought up thinking differently - far from it!
Also Liban and I have an understanding, when we get stuck into each other 99% of the time we're just taking the p*** it's hardly serious. Plus I'm really impressed with Liban's attitude these days, he's certainly a changed man - maybe you and Acebravo should learn from him and instead of also fanning the flames, view things objectively.
No-one is questioning your anger over the situation and certainly no-one is dumbing down the situation as it was horrific and certainly you can't disagree that we don't all agree on that!
I have never at any point ever supported the invasion of Iraq and was utterly appalled at Blair becoming Bush's lapdog. Our troops are put in danger for no reason than pathetic policy, they shouldn't be there, they have no right to be there and I guarantee you all my American friends think exactly the same thing. The whole thing is a disaster. I don't think Saddam's regime was better, but the excuses used to go in were fabricated. But the rest of the ME needs to stand up and show it's disagreement, but of course they won't as American policy and keeping the yanks happy means more to them, so why aren't you guys angry at that? You never mention these things, which is a shame as I'd like to hear your opinion on it.

I never met Choco... Never even spoken to her on the phone.
As for my opinions/values, you don't know me so don't try and comment on them young man.

To those of you who think that coalition soldiers enjoy killing innocent civilians - I think you too would enjoy killing innocent Iraqi civilians. You are a human being too aren't you?

Currently the Pakistani Army is led by Musharref who is a tool of the US, so no, not them.

I don't generally look to American Hollywood movies to base my view on life and events. Hey, you train men to be killers and then they kill - what a surprise! What I think is really shitty is that so many are quick to condemn American soldiers as being bloodthirsty, like no soldier anywhere else in the world kills people. The US is no angel, but some of you here like to demonise it beyond all logic and reason.
