Communism killed people mickey?? How can an ideal kill people? The whole idea of communism(or socialism) is a great deal fairer than capitalism. It was simply poorly implemented and abused by power-hungry dictators such as Stalin.
When Lenin and the Russian people overthrew the Tzarist regieme the people in that country were starving. Unfortunately Lenin's ideals and Russia's industrial growth were cut short by an axe in the head <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> but Russia may have been greatly different today if Stalin had never risen to power.
Pack it in with the red-bashing. Besides, its totally 80's anyway.
Are you trying to equate the 2nd world war to this little piss-ant conflict in Iraq??
This will not even be a war dude, Bush will bomb, bomb, bomb and when the smoke has cleared and the only thing standing is a three-legged cockroach with a limp the Iraqis will surrender.
Bush is doing several things with this 'war'.
1) Trying to justify the US's MASSIVE military budget.
2) Get his sad ass another political term of office.
3) Exercising 100,000 bored soldiers.
You don't fight terrorism by declaring war on a country. It just doesn't work like that, trust me. This is an invasion.
The US are such a bunch of chickens anyway. The UK went down to the falkland islands with about 10 ships, and lost a few to a well armed opponent. All to save a few farmers and some penguins. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
The terrorist attacks will increase after this, martial law, even a police state. I'm not even sure I want to live in this arrogant country anymore.
