There is a strong possibility that much of the beginings of the Iranian chemical and biological weapons programs took place with the cooperation (or averted eyes) of the U.S. government, however, under Reagan and GHB. |

You have in your art galleries what the Europeans have chosen to sell you or graciously allowed you to borrow. There is more significant art in the Louvre in Paris then there is in your whole country. That is not my opinion, it is a fact. And in terms of American art - no, Norman Rockwell is not Rembrandt or Michaelangelo. Not by a long shot. |
Joe ... calling you a moron would give morons a bad name. The U.S. has produced its own artists, and there are lots of folks with more than enough money to buy plenty of culture. You are every bit as ignorant as the folks you oppose.
Just out of curiousity ... was your father an annymous American serviceman that abandoned your mother? It would explain the bitterness ... |

Whats lacking is history. The USA is only 200 years old, of course its not going to have the culture of some country thats been around in one form or another for 2000 years. Its as silly to criticize the US for not having the cultural history of France as it is to pretend that ithe culture is there when its not. To put it another way, you can't have a Micheangelo without his environment.. a place where diverse elements of Christianity, Greek culture, and the Roman Empire were melded by the Catholic Church over the millenia to produce its enormous body of artwork and liturgical music. What pisses some Euro's off is the perception that Americans as a whole actually seem to revel in their general lack of cultural sophistication. And its true to a certain degree. Where else in the world can you insult someone by calling them an academic, an "elite", a highbrow, a pointy head, or any of the other cultural or intellectual monikers frequently used as perjoratives by angry Americans? |

By the way..."art is in the eye of the beholder" and I don't need some pretentious critic telling me what and what is not art. |
The european envy is great. I love it when Europeans talk down this country because it's not liek their country. I don't know about you, but it takes all of Europe to compete with our dollar. Why is France using a damn Euro? Please tell me that. I never understood that ":ak47: France"
Like they said before me, 200 years compared to the entire British Empire. LOL. We changed this world so fast, in such little time it's pathetic. The Brits have nothing to szay to America about going into other countries. The British Empire was brutal. They did some fucked up shit, and into the 80s too. ":BangBang: Germany" ":ak47: France" ":GFYBand UK" |

Wow, the ignorance of so many people about so much of this is frightening. Is the United States Defense Intelligence Agency a responsible source? Go here http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/31/opinion/31PELL.html for a new york times story of how it MAY have been iran who gassed the kurds instead of saddam. And here; http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...2002Dec29.html for more info on how reagan/bush KNOWINGLY supported saddam in his use of chemical weapons. Your statement that stinger missles are not weapons of mass destruction doesnt even deserve a reply. |
I always liked the independant way France thinks, like when they sold exocet missiles to argentina for their mirage fighters
It was so cute the way that the french technicians were right there in argentina, as the missiles were installed on the fighters, making certain that all systems were -go- minutes before the missiles were fired at the Sheffield what a great people and what fantastic after sales service; "....Paris contracted to sell a total of 133 Mirage F-1 fighters to Iraq..." "...between 1981 and 1985, the value of French arms transfers to Iraq was US$5.1 billion..." "...Iraq also bought more than 400 Exocet AM39 air-to-surface missiles and at least 200 AS30 laserguided missiles between 1983 and 1986. Second, unlike most other suppliers, France adopted an independent and unambiguous arms sales policy towards Iraq..." "....Police in the western German cities of Mannheim and Cologne have opened inquiries into a German-Russian businessman suspected of masterminding the illegal supply of weapons to Iraq, ..." "...Iraq's report says the equipment was either sold or made by more than 30 German companies...." "....SMOKING GUN: German exports may have helped build Iraqi weapons...." "....nuclear expert and a weapons inspector in 1996. According to Iraq's accounting, the real help came from German experts and companies, in particular H&H Metallform, which sold the Iraqis old designs for centrifuges...." |

The US also has a long long way to go before it's as brutal as the British Empire. Thats not to say this Iraq thing doesn't read exactly like a chapter out of British history, save you'll almost certainly kill more innocent civilians due to more modern bomb/missile weapons. |

The British SAS bailing out the US?
I cannot recall any instance when British SAS, who are damn good soldiers bailed us out. We trained with them, they are fine soldiers, as I said. while I was never part of the delta force version of special forces, some friends of mine from Special forces were graduated to that unit...those fellas are as effective and brutal as they get...bar none. Seal Team six is no slouch either. We had some joint exercises with them, pretty bad men. It seems to me that Special Forces pretty did a number on the Taliban, they were in there three months before anyone and were not detected and then coordinated the bombing effort. What is your experience with special ops that has given you the idea that British SAS was bailing us out? |

Those "innocent people" will do anything for their leader which they blindly support(because Saddam as any leader of a fucked up muslim country has procalaimed himself defender of islam). Wake the fuck up and stop being such a pussy |
"As far as a stinger missle - it is a surface to air missle originally designed to be used by ground troops against hostile aircraft, although terrorists have put it to other uses. It is not nuclear, biological, or chemical, and is no more a 'WMD" than a fully automatic weapon or an artillery piece."
Not to good against modern helicopters, show your face to a blackhawk chopper, and it's going to light up the heads up array the pilot uses...and you are going to eat metal. The Taliban couldn't get them off...too much technology...especially on night ops, when chopper pilots are out hunting...the infrared signature of a body stands out like a bright light. |

to protect us from the coming increase in terrorism. Bush will get to play his tough talking chickenhawk role to the hilt, it will be interesting to see how many people continue to fall for it. But the real question is, are YOU a chickenhawk? Quote:

So are you a chickenhawk or not? A definition fron the chickenhawk database; "bellicosity (a warlike manner or temperament), public prominence, and a curious lack of wartime service when others their age had no trouble finding the fight." |
