Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

Primitive, DavidG -
Couldn't you be anti-Saddam, anti-USA and pro-Iraq? Couldn't you be a pro-Iraqi nationalist so you get behind your leader in times of strife (even thou you don't like him), sort of what Americans call patriotic.
Isn't it like when I watch New Zealand play South Africa in the rugby I support the Kiwis even thou I don't like them, they just happen to be the lesser of two evils?

I didn't want (maybe expect) the Americans to get obliterated by a crappy third world army, but then again I don't want this warmongering to be too easy so it becomes an acceptable solution to any problem.

I can't believe you said what you said and nobody has jumped you. I logged on today to watch the flames but everyone was mute.
To add my bit, its the constant use of the flag that reminds me of the nazis. Everytime I see it I cringe. Australians never seem to rally too much around our national flag, but then its probabaly more to do with that other country's flag in the corner of ours than anything else.

The "hand of god" was to get British support. If George was trying to drum up some Argentine support he would have pointed out it was Saddam who decided the Last World Cup pools
Speaking of the soccer, looks like we'll qualify for Germany coz we don't have to play a South American team! Woo woo! We only have to beat New Zealand!! Yeh!!
