"Limey" doesn't have to worry. Americans will still have the big bucks
to spend and then they will visit "Londonistan" for their historical
stimulations. Then they will see for themselves what a lovely Mosque
Westminster Abbey became.


The Muslims will not settle for a draughty old pile like
Westminster Abbey when they can get a massive
Islamic village as well as money from the Millenium
Fund.

I think that it's clear now that the 'us' in 'us' is somewhat
fractured and now refers to less than 30% of the US population.
The Neocons will no doubt see themselves as a victimized
minority after November 7.


People use the term "us," when they want to be associated
with the presumed majority... you know... the "knowledgable"
(sic)... us. Sheep... sheep... sheep. us... us... us.

"Nothing is more revolting than the majority; for it consists of few
vigorous predecessors, of knaves who accommodate themselves,
of weak people who assimilate themselves, and the mass that
toddles after them without knowing in the least what it wants" --
Goethe

"That the desires of the majority of the people are often for
injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated
by every page of the history of the whole world." -- John Adams

"The voice of the majority is no proof of justice." -- Schiller

"Every effort for progress, for enlightenment, for science, for
religious, political, and economic liberty, emanates from the
minority, and not from the mass." -- Emma Goldman

etc....etc... etc...

Holy ****!!!! Is that a _glub...glub... glub_ I hear with U.K. secularism
going down the tube? Do you think this will be finished before
9/11 of next year in order to hold all the fanatic Islamists wanting
to cram themselves in to celebrate, thus avoiding doing so -- in
the streets?

you need to get a grasp on the idea that criticism of US war in Iraq
does not imply anyone thinks fundamentalist moslems are good guys. The
world isnt that simple.

be murdered as soon as US gets fed up with the casualties and gives

Saddam Hussein.
What pillock thought you could impose a liberal democracy on murderous
tribal fanatics? I pity the educated Iraqis.
Let hope i'm wrong.

I'm afraid there ARE still many fools here who believe it!
the U.S. education system is rather lax when it comes to
instilling logical reasoning. (Although it requires a
certain measure of intelligence to distinguish between logic
and illogic, it's largely a skill, and CAN be taught.)


I'm not sure it is question of logical reasoning, a few simple geography
and history lessons woulddo them the power of good.


would I be right in saying more diversity in the media would make a
big difference, I think its already been said here that in red states
people may not see the other points of view and facts?

Wrong. Fury at Prime Minister Blair for being President Bush's "poodle"
has reached such a pitch that the most successful Labor prime minister
in memory is being forced out of office because of his support for U.S.
policy in Iraq and Israel.


Oddly, most Americans would now like to do that to Bush. Pity they're
slow learners.


and although Blair has been successful in staying in office against a
collapsed tory party his policies have not always been very
successful, he has managed to spend on the NHS and simultaneously make
cuts while reorganising it constantly to no effect, for instance. Many
in his own party, except those who value power over principle,
probably never liked him or his policies and his style of presidential
government is unpopular.

The latter is a good point. The so-called 'democratic government' there
is largely manufactured, and completely cut-off (due to the ongoing
violence) from the rest of the country. I would be surprised if it
lasted a few minutes following the withdrawal of the US and the UK.
Well, I should just say the US, as the UK will have to do whatever they
do. Even US Republican politicians are getting at the very least
'embarrassed' by this. Bush is becoming less popular. I don't know what
the results of the polls will be in November there, but it would be
bloody wonderful if the government there actually impeached the
President for something worth impeaching him for. I'd say lying to the
country and the world and blundering into a country to settle old
scores, at the expense of half a million Iraqi lives and the security of
the rest of the world, would be worth impeaching him for.
