This isn't a "let's bash America" thread. This is a "let's criticise America for one of the most stupid and destructive foreign policy decisions of the new millennium" thread.think positive wrote:Oh lookie, another let's bash America thread, yippeee Kyyia motherfuka, I'll be back
There's no possible even-handed response to this that doesn't incorporate severe judgement. Anything less is an ethical failing in my view.

After looking at that I did some checking. This is a quite scary article on the difference between Islam and Islamism.

You can kind of understand why Hussein was such a feared dictator as in these parts of the world there doesn't appear to be any other way from stopping these religious zealots taking hold.

How are you so sure that the water is off? Have you tested it? Or are you just making a snap judgement?think positive wrote:Camels are smart, they store it for when someone's trying to make them drink water that's offswoop42 wrote:You can lead a camel to water David but you can't make him drink.David wrote: This isn't a "let's bash America" thread.
