I was aware that the combination of 'average Joe' and liberal ignorance was potent, but I hadn't expected this. If you knew even the slightest thing about the way the politics in the United States works, you would be aware that George Bush can not be re-elected, or stand for re-election in 2008 as a result of the Constitutional Rules brought in after FDR flouted the two-term limit tradition.

Moreover, what is 'FREEDOM FOR THE WORLD'S PEOPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' when they live in a Facist state themselves? You put yourself against 'FASCIST IMPERIAL COLONIAL FOREIGN POLICY'; does this applyonly to the United States and Britain, or are you also against Iraq and Nazi Germany? This blog is testament to those who shared, and acted on your sentiments. To my mind at least, when a man fires a shot to end tyranny, the act is far less evil than if in its favour.

Learn your history, learn you facts and address the world with a little more logic and perspective.

--I agree...good thought Mr. Cooke

Sir Peter admitted that this was a joke persona he created days ago and still people are arguing with the article.


Twats...

The majority in both countries do not agree with the Iraq War. That was clear by the vote in England and from the polls in America. It looks as if George W. is about as popular in England as George III was in America in 1776.

I can't really tell, they both won their elections. I don't know why you care so much about what England thinks, they could care less about you.

" It looks as if George W. is about as popular in England as George III was in America in 1776."

You are naive and grossly arrogant if you think Blair's majority was reduced due to George W. Bush. The "protest" vote here was more due to the sloppy way the war was presented to us, on top of eight years of spin and deception, not because Blair is pals with Bush. We would expect our PM to be closely allied to the US President.

" The majority in both countries do not agree with the Iraq War. That was clear by the vote in England and from the polls in America."

That's right, the people of Britain and America showed how much they detested the war by voting the two key torch bearers for the war back into office. That showed them!

--Me? My problem with SPM is that why the hell post this, he knows heads were gonna roll [figurativly speaking]...why, fuel the fire thats already out of control [also figure of speech...] ....people like that can get annoying...

"why the hell post this, he knows heads were gonna roll [figurativly speaking]...why, fuel the fire thats already out of control"

Because it is a ludicrous fire and one that deserves utter contempt.

"Me? My problem with SPM is that why the hell post this, he knows heads were gonna roll"

You lot take yourselves FAR TOO seriously. What heads will roll? It's a fucking low ranking, low-traffic blog site!!!!!!

Blair admitted the Iraq War was not popular in England. It was the economy that got Blair's Party reelected with a lot smaller number not the support for the war. Bushies never admit the facts - Both in America and on the other side of the pond in England the majority think the Iraq war was an error! Look at Iraq this week! Over 300 dead!

" Blair admitted the Iraq War was not popular in England."

Tony admitted that many would disagree with the decision he took. It's not the war that people dislike it's the way he went about making that decision. The war has widespread approval.

"Look at Iraq this week! Over 300 dead!"

I am willing to bet that more than 300 people kicked the bucket in Britain this week. Does this mean Britain is unstable? Of course not. These deaths are just natural wastage that any country experiences. These lives will be replaced by births. Besides, more than 300 people per week were being butchered by Saddam, these people are dying for the noble cause of democracy.

The proof will be in the nature of the governmnet that results in Iraq after all foreign forces are out of the country. I do not think the majority (over 50%) of people in America or England agree with the war. We went to war predicated on Saddam being a danger to America. That was untrue! Then it was because he defied the U N and was Evil. Now it is the "spreading democracy" concept of George W. We need to make up our mind and not use the reason du jour.

You lot take yourselves FAR TOO seriously. What heads will roll? It's a fucking low ranking, low-traffic blog site!!!!!!

--I mean that why post it, when SPM knows that others on this site are going to cause a problem because of conflicting views...sure this isn't a big blog site, but still, why incite a conflict that doesn't need to be started...common sense [maybe not too common]

We went to war predicated on Saddam being a danger to America

-I remember hearing that in Bush's State of the Union prior to the Iraq Invasion, he listed the reasons why to invade iraq, and that there were many...[WMD,etc..] Is that true...do you know where i could find a copy or source to find that specific SOU speech?

Bushies never admit the facts

--Not true....i know many 'bushites' [not on this website] who are honest and admit the facts, but the view they have of them are just different than others...including mine...[BTW COL,where would you consider yourself,left,right,center.....Me...not too sure, i think that i am more of a realist,or at least one that relies more on common sense and hard facts...{occasionally } ]

Both in America and on the other side of the pond in England the majority think the Iraq war was an error!

--Now i don't really trust polls, because though they say they have polled a wide grouping, there are those who watch the news,etc... but don't like taking polls,etc... so those who don't view polls kindly...arn't represented...also, these polls can be adjusted accordingly...as can other things...

Tony admitted that many would disagree with the decision he took. It's not the war that people dislike it's the way he went about making that decision. The war has widespread approval.

--Although i am against the Death penalty, yet support war, though as a last resort....i think there comes a time in any leader of a nation when they have to make a tough decision, [Bush->Iraq, Truman->Dropping the A Bomb,etc...] and even though the majority, or minority may oppose the decision, i think that they make it for their respective countries betterment....[fogive my atrocious spelling... ]

unstable?

--Unstable: its all relative....

The proof will be in the nature of the governmnet that results in Iraq after all foreign forces are out of the country.

--I think that one of the major things opposing the new government is the rivalry [like gangs] each have their own goals,beliefs,etc... and creating such a country where they all can live in anytype of peace is going to be a struggle...a lot of egos,etc..are going to be hurt.....

The answer is simple, round up all the Iraqis and gas them all. Then move loads of American and British newly weds to Iraq to populate the now vacant country. If only I were in charge!
