Canada would surrender anyways.


You think you got terrorism problems now. What would American society be like if the bad guys weren't brown and could imitate your accent?

What a moronic bumper sticker! :|



I agree. Everyone here seems to assume "the next war" will be against Iran...how interesting.



It doesn't matter who it's against. The issue is, can we afford it? Our current stupid war is going to cost over $1 trillion, and we're up to our ears in debt over that one.

Well I guess they could flush us out by having hockey games broadcast randomly on public screens. Damn, I don't know what we can do about that.


Well the USA better not deploy any troops from MN or MA since they too will likely stop to watch the televised hockey games and could then be confused for being one of us 'nucks.


Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

No, I think it is elitist to think you are the only one with concerns or who reads up on anything. Thanks for informing me of your superiority comrade.




Well? If you have some sort of notion that I'm superior to your intellect, maybe you should read more or pay more attention. Or maybe stop trying to harp on inane points. I for one, have not made any such claim..........that came straight from your keyboard.
...and you're in violation of your face!

"Stop Bush"

??

Actually, it was written on a billboard of a Calvin Klein model, but it scored well for brevity.

We had a UNION pipefitter girl on a powerhouse job I was helping build a couple yrs. back. Had a sticker on her lunchbox. "I didn't vote for Bush. I voted for MY bush" Cracked me up. And trust me. You didn't wanna mess w/ her.
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

What did the Falkland Islands ever do to Great Britain?



Dude, seriously?:S

We weren't fighting against the Falkland Islands, we were fighting against Argentina. Argentina were the ones who invaded the Falkland Islands - our soil, our people!


Likewise, Reagan bravely defended our kidnapped medical students in Grenada.

Hey dude, you make the inference with your post. I sure as hell do not believe it:D:D

If only that would fit on a bumper sticker.

Gandhi: Mr. Kinnoch, I beg you to accept that there is no people on Earth who would not prefer their own bad government to the good government of an alien power.

Brigadier: My dear sir! India is British. We're hardly an alien power!

Andy, the Falkland Islanders are British and want to remain that way, under British rule, just as they did in 1982.

The Falklands have been settled by the British, the French and the Spanish all before Argentina got hold of them in the early 1800s. And then Argentina only had them for about 10 years (IIRC), before relinquishing them back to us.

In other words, the Falklanders haven't wanted to be independent or ruled by Argentina, in living memory. And then some.

So, to compare the Falklands to India is a little misleading, don't you think? :)
Anyway, to get my post back on topic, I'm pretty much against any war fought for different reasons than those given.

I can think of 2 places that appear to be in the news rather alot of the past few years......

A hand full of poorly armed people have tied up thousands of 'our' troops, cost 'our' countries lots of Millions of £/$ and more than a little credability ..... if that's not an arse kicking it has to be pretty close...... and for what?
