This board has been a little to quiet for while.
Is it time that Bush and Blair who is a close friend and confidant of Bush were tried for War Crimes?
Do you think the use by the American Administrations of renditions are War Crimes and committed with full knowledge of American and British leaders ie. Blair and Bush and they are ultimately responsible?
Also in the aftermath of the illegal invasion of Iraq are should their action seen to be as the provocation for the rising toll of British, American and Iraqi deaths.
As a result of the military intervention in Iraq do you think you are safer in Britain to-day?
Do you think one should expect government leaders and ministers who have been responsible for massive foreseeable casualties should visit the hospitals to meet the casualties they have produced directly or indirectly by their actions?

I find it difficult to imagine what the opinion would be if the girls were at a distance.
I think he denied much of what he was purported to have done, other than decry the foreign offices pussy footing around the abusive dictatorship's human rights record. Mind they do have oil etc.

Know Your Enemy
September 18th, 2006
Five years after we finally noticed that Muslim enemies were at war with us we still havent identified those enemies or developed a realistic strategy for victory. The depth of our confusion shows in the ridiculous debates that preoccupy our politicians and journalists.
Is it proper to call our enemies Islamic fascists? Does this term denigrate Islam with the unfair suggestion that the Muslim faith is responsible for terrorism? Strangely enough, nobody asks whether the term unfairly denigrates the memory of Il Duce. President Bushs speech writers used the term Islamic fascism just once recently. The resulting firestorm sent the administration scurrying for cover; the offending term has disappeared from the Presidents public vocabulary.
Did Pope Benedict give Muslims cause for offense by quoting the Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus (born 1350, died 1425)? Manuel once scored debating points on a Persian scholar by demanding
[s]how me just what Mohammed brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.
The Pope quoted this language in the midst of an interesting lecture on the proper relationship of faith and reason. The Muslim world still is ramping up for another tantrum like the cartoon riots that broke out last February.
Manuel certainly knew what he was talking about. He spent some time as a hostage in the court of one Muslim neighbor and he spent a lifetime fighting back against expansionist Islam. Almost nobody pauses to consider that Manuel might have something to teach us. Instead our conversation centers on whether the Pope is to blame for riling Muslims up and what he (and we) can do to mollify them.

maestro editing his posts, the net is closing in;-)
In Iran, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei used the comments to call for protests against the United States. He argued that while the pope may have been deceived into making his remarks, the words give the West an "excuse for suppressing Muslims" by depicting them as terrorists.
"Those who benefit from the pope's comments and drive their own arrogant policies should be targeted with attacks and protests," he said, referring to the United States.
These simple souls must have a death wish!

About the Order
Of The Eastern Star
What It Is: The Order of the Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world to which both men and women may belong. Worldwide, there are approximately 1 million members under the General Grand Chapter.
Eastern Star is a social order comprised of persons with spiritual values but it is not a religion. Its appeal rests in the true beauty of the refreshing and character-building lessons that are so sincerely portrayed in its ritualistic work. A deep fraternal bond exists between its members. It is the wholesome relationship of sisterly and brotherly love brought about through high principles exemplified in our lives which makes us near and dear to each other.
While this is an Order composed of people of deep spiritual convictions, it is open to all faiths, except no faith. The personal welfare of our members is vital to all of those in the Eastern Star and it is considered a privilege to help another member whenever we can. For membership information, click here.
Purposes. The stated purposes of the organization are: Charitable, Educational, Fraternal and Scientific; but there is much more to it than that. Dr. Rob Morris, the Poet Laureate of Masonry, founded the Order using beautiful and inspiring biblical examples of heroic conduct and moral values. These portray the noble principles which should adorn the personal lives of Eastern Star members. Eastern Star strives to take good people and through uplifting and elevating associations of love and service, and through precept and example, build an Order which is truly dedicated to charity, truth and loving kindness.
Projects. Concrete evidence of the charitable nature of the organization as it affects others is the millions of dollars which have been raised within the membership to support national, jurisdictional, and local charities. Many Grand Jurisdictions have homes for their senior members.

The facts are simple- the war in iraq was just and we were right to go in.
The only thing thats wrong was the no exit plan. We have been bogged down trying to give people a democracy who have no idea what it means.
People can whinge and wine but doing nothing was not an option. I have never been a supporter if this government but its the only thing they have done that showed any bollocks. They lied about WMD's because they needed to justify the war when the fact that Saddam was killing hundreds daily was reason enough.
Its very easy to sit in your nice air conditioned office and judge when you getting your information from the net. Its easy to moan about civil rights when these rights are being abused and used to hinder the security services.
Stan the Royal Engineers are not fighting soldiers - I spent 14 years as a fighting soldier and get 90% of my information direct from Iraq from serving officers. What I hear is not watered down its pure fact.
May I sugest you take a quick trip and see for yourself/

Unfortunately it is a sad and disturbing sign of the ultra PC times we live in, that anyone suggesting a rally in favour of the action we have taken is derided and seen as some kind of fringe lunatic, whereas those against the action are to be welcomed, and even allowed to make such a smug and derisory comment.
It is much the same as the oft asked question of why there is no "Music of White Origin" awards ceremony, or White police officers association, or white businessman of the year award.
The heavily liberal biased press and those in academia have hijacked the agenda away from majority rule and non-racism and formed their own agenda of positive racism and majority rule where they deem it is inoffensive.
Very sad, and very strange that the ones who claim to be the guardians of peace, equality and democracy are the ones who disallow it, and seek to destroy it.
