I've been there several times. Its an interesting place with loads of history, lovely scenery and pleasant, friendly people. \n\nRight now I wish those pleasant and friendly people would start questioning whether they are being well led. It would be a tragedy for a country with the legacy of Persia to become the next tragic victim of the World's bully, George Bush. But that's the way you're going and it is going to be very nasty. \n\nPlease, do what you can to make your own leaders act a little more reasonably! This has to be a two-way thing.

I have friends who had a house at Katexomena...I have never been  there but I know exactly what is going on  from ´74 since  now and I m really mad about these things. My love about Cyprus started after I wached the documentary "Attila ´74" by Micheal Cacoyannis.\nΔεν Ξεχνω\n\np.s exasa thn apanthsh sou sthn erwthsh mou, apanta ksana..

I totally agree. Wipe the whole area. Every trick has been tried on that area, and nothing seems to work on them. \n\nTo borrow religious people;" the area is cursed, and must be cleaned!"\n\nThere was this one newsreport that mentioned, that "Iraq-savingtrip" has lasted already as long period as the "Europe-savingtrip" from nazis in the 40`s. and; Europe Was saved, in the middle east its impossible to tell who should be saved there anymore. All of them in the area you mentioned, appear to be death freaks\n\nI just hope that the Turkey stays the hell away from EU...

I REMEMBER DRESDEN!!!!\nA war crime.\nFDR & Churchill bombed helpless women & children in Dresden, killing somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000.\nIt was for fun.  The war was over.  There were no German soldiers there.\nPure evil.\nI hang my head in shame.\nI have always supported the USA, and still do.\nBut Dresden was a crime against all humanity.\nThank you for the question.

The Ardennes forest was tough for everyone who fought there... Thick dense thickets and muddy roads gave all who passed through it a longing for home. A giant patch of old growth forest is no place to fight a war.

Haha I actually enjoyed the fight.. as long as Germany won, anything's good.\n\nI think the Argentinians were insulting/trying to get to the German manager, and then the refs came in to split them up and the thing exploded.  It was only like a minute or two though, because afterwards they showed them breaking up and the Argentinians starting to cry.  I think they were just bitter about the loss.  And people should get over the Nazi thing.. that was a whole different generation.

It's very interesting but not surprising.  You can draw parallels between the San Patricios and the more recent struggles in Northern Ireland.  Here's another good link:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick's_Battalion

Dillinger is right, why would we go to war with Spain?  If we were ticking down the list of countries to invade, I think Spain would be pretty low down.  Again, we are pretty decent friends with Spain.

I was part of the parade in my town.\n\nI'm the standard bearer from the local Royal British Legion branch at Pontardawe... I also attend the small service at the Cenotaph on the 11 November and the Festival of Remembrance at Swansea's Brangwyn Hall.\n\nMy brother was also part of today's parade when he marched with the Air Training Corps squadron.\n\nI also parade in Neath each year for the Battle of Britain parade and other ceremonies and parades that pop up.\n\nI find that 2 minutes silence is a tiny amount compared to the millions of lives lost during the wars. To give 2 minutes from our lives is nothing to ask for, I can't see why anyone shouldn't stop what they're doing for only 120 seconds so we can commemorate and thank all those who have fallen, been wounded or have survived the wars during our history and the fight for freedom.\n\nBut.. just to add... what I do on the parades is among the other I do which is typical for a normal 18 year old student. I crawl around the pubs, play pool, watch films at cinemas, go for random drives with friends...\n\nI have never seen combat or conflict, but I don't want to forget the ones who have... and neither should anybody else. We should be grateful for what they did for us and to thank them, wo can never forget.

This is the animal who cut Kenneth Bigleys (British civilian contractor) head off with a butchers knife, whilst he pleaded for his life, on video.\n\nThat mans family (who were not supporters of the war by the way) now never go a day without the haunting image of their brother, son, having his head severed from his neck with a fountain of blood as shown on Al Jazeera.\n\nHe personally did three "live for TV" beheadings and sponsored the rest.\n\nIs is a good thing this beast is dead?  Damn right it is!\n\nDo I care? Damn right I do! \n\nAl Zarquawi was a Jordanian. He was not an Iraqi or a freedom fighter, and nor are most of his Sunni followers.\n\nDoes his death mark the end of the insurgency, no of course it doesnt, but it is important as it clearly shows that Iraqis are starting to turn against the real foreign invaders and that is the bunch of criminals who are only in that devastated country to cause civil war between the Sunni and Shi'tes.

At it again are you? I'm not saying that the reasons we are there are right or wrong or any war for that matter but I do realize that someone, somewhere, must try to stop dictators and third rate nations that try to become first rate to fast. When talking fails and turning the other cheek doesn't work... all that is left is war, no matter what scale. So... it takes a lot of dedicated young people to try and straighten things out with weapons and I know of nothing more dangerous in the military's arsenal than a pissed off nineteen(+) year old with a weapon. The sad thing is... someone has to lose. Be it us or them is yet to be determined. One of life's facts is that everybody has to pay. To what cost? I don't know but I've seen enough to know that this is sometimes the only way to deal with zealots and fanatics. Oh, I have my own thoughts(and ways) of dealing with terroists but then the American people would be really taken aback! I'm amazed that most people can't comprehend war or what happens in war. I guess that's why our military does its utmost best to keep it away from our shores. By the way, I've eaten crow(Roasted) Once I got past the worms and maggots and almost cooked it black it's not to bad. I won't recommend it though. Only if you're extremely hungry.I've also talked crow (called them in). That's how I got to eat one. Having a weapon would have made it a lot easier.

I think it was a combination.  The intent wasn't so much to just let the Bosnian Serbs run rampant, but rather, the UN didn't want to take a hard line against them.  The higher-ups in the area totally fouled that up.\n\nThe Dutch forces, had they tried to fight, would probably have taken a lot of casualties, though whether or not they would have lost is another question.  It was a question of the will to fight -something soldiers by and large have, but most politicians don't.\n\nHopefully, there will be some kind of compensation, beyond catching Karadzic & Mladic.  It's going to be a while before Bosnia's ever fully restored (though it seems to be progressing).\n\nBasically, I think it was a lack of careful planning, as well as the UN's inability to give proper protection to those who needed it.

If people want to question the war, thats cool. There were plenty of people who thought that we shouldnt have fought Hitler as well.\n\nBut I too am disturbed by those people on here who advocate turning up to soldiers funerals and protesting, and those who automatically believe that everything the enemy says is correct and that everything the U.S says is wrong.\n\nThere are a lot of immature and ill informed people using this site to make cheap political points based on what they have read on the internet, and I'm afraid that if some of these folks had their way, soldiers would be coming home to be spat at in the street and called baby killers.

I thought it was pretty good.  Yeah, the beginning was a bit off, but for people who have no idea of the situation in the UK at the time, it was a great way to explain the fear.  I still like the books better, fevered imaginings are usually a bit more detailed than any movie.\nIt will be interesting to see how the next movies go -- especially since there are Chronicles that are not in the same timeline.

I believe even at the time there was debate about whether they were justified.  I've heard that General Lemay once remarked that if the war went the other way, they would have been tried as war criminals for their acts.  I don't have the reference for that though, I'll have to look it up.\n\nI look at it thins way, it probably was justified if you believe that war is a contest between enemy populations, and not just between militaries.  If you don't believe that, then probably not.
