ParticipantSmallville started off with a few decent, but not brilliant episodes . 8 or 9 episodes through the series cool lex reemerges (the lex and his dad episodes were ok, but 1st series had lex in ‘cool mode’- his dad seemed to be putting a damper on things at the beginning of the 2nd series.

Participant[i]Good evening. Here is the news on Friday, the 27th of Geldof. Archeologists near mount Sinai have discovered what is believed to be a missing page from the Bible. The page is currently being carbon dated in Bonn. If genuine it belongs at the beginning of the Bible and is believed to read “To my darling Candy. All characters portrayed within this book are fictitous and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.” The page has been universally condemned by church leaders.[/i]

Participant[i]You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh, the fundamental things apply,
As time goes by . . .An’ when two lovers woo, they still say “I love you,”
On that you can rely, no matter what the future brings,
As time goes by . . .Moonlight an’ love songs never out of date,
Hearts full of passion, jealousy an’ hate,
Woman needs man and man must have his mate,
That no one can deny . . .It’s still the same old story, a fight for love an’ glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by . . .< instrumental verse three >
It’s still the same old story, a fight for love an’ glory,

ParticipantWe’d better do the reconstuction properly with minimum reparations inflicted on the people of Iraq- or by popular demand, we’ll end up with a governement similar to the one we’re trying to depose resulting with us going back to square one.
fluffy bunny
Participantlol- if I go into postwar Iraq, my pessimism comes through. Assuming WMD aren’t found
1) Iran and Syria become insecure with regards to the American troops posted on their doorstep
2) Someone has to pay for the war- chances are it’ll be the Iraqi people. Reparations didn’t do postwar germany (WWI) any good. Iraq may come to hate its so called liberators as well. After all, despite the oil and relative wealth of Saddam, Iraq is a 3rd world country- and reparations could cost Iraq dearly. Iraq stays broke, the people get enlisted as terrorists by slightly wealtier nations in the gulf region not due to religion, but simply due to the benifits money can provide to them and their families in a poverty stricken country.
3) Rise of pan-arabism unifying the arab states in resentment of the States operating in a region that ‘should have been left alone’
4) UN shown to be weak, and more easily bypassed in future conflicts (I still see America going to war with Iran in the next few years)
5) Division of NATO- France and Germany wanting a separate european army to offset American and British dominance at the mo. Distrust and petty infigting—-> what was the cold war about anyway? Arabic countries building their own forces and preparing for Israel and America.
There’s more, but I’m getting hungry
-Laterfluffy bunny
ParticipantJust curious as to your opinions on this issue:
Should Bush and Blair stand before a war crimes tribunal if no WMD are found? I know many of you will say they will be held accountable by the public, but how many of you would say a war crimes tribunal would be appropriate if nothing was found?
fluffy bunny
Participant[quote=”lexxrobotech”]Perhaps if you reread my earlier posts you would get a clearer understanding.
When I say that “The U.S. actions are very much like early Nazi Germany” I mean that the disregarding of the UN is grounds for trouble further down the road. Early Nazi Germany new that the UN as such was powerless to do anything, thus the taking back of land took place. The US and UK new that they could go with or without the rest of the worlds backing.
This all brings back into what worries me. The US foreign policy has failed often. It tends to be really short sighted. This is what worries the other UN Countries.
Look at the US’s to main enemies. Osam Bin Laden and Saddam. Both were put in power by the US. Again, failed foreign policy. [/quote]
Ok so you’ve stated the problem- all very well and good. Now what do you propose we do about it?
fluffy bunny
ParticipantI object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
[i]Gandhi[/i]Then again, I ticked the last item in that list pending all the facts- I can’t say whether it’s justified or not without knowing the reasons for it
fluffy bunny
ParticipantWe can mudsling all day, but just bear in mind that whether this war is justified or not, the troops are in there now. We can’t pull them out now without dishonouring those who were killed and injured in action,
For better or for worse, events have been set in motion. Instead of arguing about who is to blame for putting us in this situation, ask for a quick resolution with as little loss of life as possible, and then ask what is the best way to move forward to the future. Quibbling over the past solves nothing.

Congrats.
As to the sex of the baby- they generally don’t tell you here in the UK here- they know in the majority of cases at the 20 week ultrasound, but mistakes have been known to happen- not good if you’ve bought all the baby clothes already. When doing obs and gynae placement, 2 secs after the family had left the room, the doc tells the med student what the actual sex is.As to names, I’ve always like Aroura myself as a girls name, but I don’t think I’d have the courage to call a child that.

ParticipantOne thing about the oil in Iraq- it’s not economically viable to invade iraq just for its oil fields- Iraq only generates 3% of the world’s oil. There may be a large amount of it under Iraq, but the geology means it can’t be extracted efficiently in a major way (and definitely not in a reasonable enough amount to pay the overheads for this war in the short term (and long term’s at least decades).
At the end of British colonialism, Britain left Iraq, keeping its richest oilwells. That region became known as Kuwat. Iraq’s oil production in comparison’s negligible.
Don’t think this one’s over oil- will wait a few yrs for the historians to tell us- it’s not humanitarian, that’s for sure (look all around the world at easier conflicts that the US could have been involved in if it’d been in national intersets eg Zimbabwe, Bali etc)

[quote]BTW, looks like the numbers in the anti-war brigade are dwindling as people come to their senses [/quote]
Hardest part of this war was always going to be starting it, and the aftermath. Once at war, most of us will rally around the troops and their families. As to the opinion polls, the only true measure of what’s happening will occur after the war, not during it- a lot will depend on the time it takes to end the war, and the final casualty count. Best wishes to those in the gulf fighting the war on our behalf.

As to the offending comment:
[quote]The fact is, is that no matter how hard you moan you cant just change the government s of other countries be it Iraq or Afganistain, you don’t have too respect their decisions, but you will have to live with them, so get over it, and look at the big picture…another threat to the world is about to emerge and that is not enough for me, and it shouldn’t be for you.[/quote]I’m going to assume you mean this- correct me if I’m wrong…
1) We can’t just replace any government at will just because they oppose us2) America’s doing this as a knee jerk reaction to secure it’s position as the world’s sole superpower and will quash any country that may be close to superpower status in the next few years/decades, especially one that may be opposed to them, possibly leading to another cold war.
Running short of time- but I do remember these points being raised by some members of the media and addressed- (something to do with “that’s not what we’re trying to achieve here” – someone answer plz- or I’ll do it tommorow.

ParticipantSlightly off topic, I always interpreted Jihad as spiritual with regards to defence of faith, (I’m not muslim, but had a read through the translation a few ys back)
Problem isn’t religion per se (I feel generally is a good thing) but extremism is- many say essentially the same thing. If someone argues that he is higher or that his religion is holier, it is proof that he has missed the very core of his faith.
[quote]Why can’t the CIA just send over some agents for a ‘wet job’?[/quote]
That’s what I was thinking but1) People been trying to do this for years, but it hasn’t worked- security is good, plus the use of body doubles (people surgically altered to look like Saddam, some against their will doesn’t help)
2) Even if he is killed, there are too many people who think in the same way as him in positions of power who would gladly take control. It’s not the man, but the regime that people want toppling.
I Imagine many of the Iraqi people aren’t too bothered who’s in charge, they just want to get on with their lives, so a revolution is too much to hope for.fluffy bunny
ParticipantPlaying devil’s advocate:
[quote=”SadGeezer”]WoW!
One other thing that keeps niggling away in the back of my mind is that the Arab nations all seem against the coalition and primarily the US. Some of you have pointed out that it’s only a few terrorists that are responcible for these cowardly terrorist attacks but I’m not so sure? Arab societies (and peer pressure it seems) seemed openly (the peopel at least) supportive of say 9/11 and although they may hate Saddam they will support him against the US and it’s allies! Why is that?[/quote]
A lot of them have major misgivings of Israel- a country right on their doorstep. Despite the infighting between those nations, they’re pretty much unified in their hatred for Israel who a lot of them feel has been able to get away with a lot of s**t that’s unacceptable to them due to America’s involvement and meddling in middle eastern matters. Funded by America to an amount of money in goods and military equipment greater than the combined support America offers to the rest of the world. The West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights. Israel even supposedly (need to double check this but if memory serves), surpasses even China in violation of UN human rights against its neighbours. A lot of them feel Palestine has been unfairly treated on several occasions. Religion is one of the reasons they back palestine, but noone in the region likes Israel.
The US bombing Iraq every few years seems a bit excessive and some may have misgivings over it.
[quote]That’s not an attack on these communities, I just can’t understand why they never get involved themselves. [/quote]
Why should they? How would they benifit from a war? There is no surefire outcome, war leads to international condemnation . Besides- taking out Iraq wouldn’t solve the terrorist problem (look at the Iran/Iraq war – on another note, while you’re there look at the reasons for it). America is on the other side of the world, they’re right next door- counteroffensives etc could be very bloody- and of the major weapons of mass destruction supposedly there —->abundant chemical and biological agents (less likely to have nukes). Chemical and biological weapons are notoriously difficult to distibute over long distances, but local borders are easy.
[quote] I’ve just seen a news report where some mouslim countries are ganging up to condemn the war. The defensiveness in me says, “You ungreatful bastards! We’re doing your dirty work for you!”[/quote]
Again, nothing is being done for their benifit, simply shifting the balance of power in the region, putting in governments sympathetic to the west. After Iraq, where next? One or 2 of the league will may be funding terrorism themselves and would at least start to sweat. Others think it’s a regional matter and the US should stay out of it.fluffy bunny
ParticipantThx for your thinking out your last post ADM. I’m for this war, as long as it’s done for the right reasons and intentions. Sorry, but I don’t think the moral high ground “we’re better than them” etc won’t work with me- if you try that, it can be pointed out that every country in the world has committed it’s share of atrocities at one time or other.
Going in to help the Kurds is not a reason that’ll wash with me- Saddam does not consider the Kurds as Iraqi in the same way that neither Iran or Turkey, both allies in the first gulf war and tentative ones in the second, consider their kurdish people Iranian or Turkish. In the first gulf war American bombers were not allowed to fly raiding missions at certain times because Turkey were running bombing raids on their own Kurdish minority. It is not justifiable to any extent but at the same time no-one in Iraq considers them Iraqi, one of many examples of racial prejudice throughout the world. If all this was ignored in the 1st war, how can it be a validation for a second? The motives for this war will most likely not be revealed in the near future, and we can only hope that the intentions of our leaders are noble ones.
Just because France doesn’t agree with the Coalition’s way of doing things doesn’t automatically make them cowards. If you feel someone gets it wrong you don’t roll over and agree with them – ok I’d say it was rash of them to threaten to veto any descision without hearing it out first, but still France, Germany and Russia are simply doing what they feel is right from their perspective. We do not know what evidence is out there, and whether the coalition or the french did the right thing regarding it- how can we as the public interpret it if we haven’t seen it. If we can’t interpret it, who are we to judge and subsequently ostracize? I guess it’ll be for the historians to debate when the evidence is revealed
Another reason is political- if we cajole and threaten, and don’t do anything, we’ll be seen as paper tigers and will be ignored the next time we need to send a warning
fluffy bunny
Participant[quote=”A-DM”]My thoughts have remained the same since Saddam reared his fat ugly head again, and that is that war was inevitable.
“The anti-war brigade, as far as I’m concerned are all misguided cowards, for the best part they are not concerned about stopping war, they are more concerned in showing their anti-americanism.” [/quote]Think you’re taking liberties here
[quote]“People forget that his world is nothing like ours, he only answers to Allah, while we try diplomacy to resolve the issue, diplomacy is not part of that world, you need be a democratic state for it to exist, his is a tyranny…diplomacy and humanatarian ideals aren’t part of his world.”[/quote]
Again – making assumptions- both on religion (which many people would take offence at- most muslims are peaceful) and about the man. Where’d the assumption that all muslims are fanatics come from? Do you believe everything the media tell you?
[quote]“As for France, that country has no gratitude for the help it has received in the past, and I hope that if trouble reaches their borders again that they are left to deal with it by themselves, they deserve as much for their cowardly behaviour.
France and these anti-war protesters are made up of anti-americans, extremists and a large bulk of pro-Saddam supporters, they have no voice and no idea, they are all cowards.”[/quote]On the contrary, a lot of people are reluctant to go to war- it isn’t a game – many people need evidence before being prepared to inflict a terrible thing on another country, rather than just taking another person’s (who may have ulterior motives or may have recieved false intelligence) word for it.
[quote]I’d like to reassure our friends in the US that the people in the UK support your cause, of course we have a large number of idiots who don’t[/quote]
Since when is it idiocy to think for yourself and wish to weigh up the facts presented to you? I’d argue it’s stupid not to do so.
[quote]To those that oppose this opinion, to them I say ‘look at the end goal’, forget your prejudices and your hatred, look at the root cause for this trouble (Saddam) and nothing else, can you honestly believe that this one man will do what you’d like him do?, do you really think that he won’t kill you and your families just because you believe in peace?, he hates all of us and once he has the capabilty do you think he will stop too listen to your cries then, he will have the power too kill in the masses and would be ready to use it, how are you going to stop him then…because more demonstrations or more diplomacy will not stop him.
ADM[/quote]our troubles stem from the individual terrorist cells operating in our respective countries. Instead of targetting these (which is extremely difficult), we go for the static target, who couldn’t do as much damage. And if that’s the case, it’d be countries such as Iran and Algeria we’d be going after for setting up these cells (and if you want to get pedantic, in the cold war it was CIA which taught them how to do it). Evidence rather than libel please.

ParticipantAm going to copy and paste what I typed in another forum for this post- will reply to the rest later – apologies if a tad disjointed :

I have a feeling our leaders are privy to more information regarding the matter than can be divulged to the public without compromising intelligence sources within iraq. Although I have little confidence in Mr Bush, myself, I’m willing to trust the rest of the coalition regarding the evidence linking Iraq with terrorism and needing to do something about it. There has to be a particular reason why now and not last year or the year before is the time for action, but if action is neccessary, and other alternatives have been given ample oppotunity to take effect, action should be taken. Noone wants to say we are at war, and send servicemen into battle. Given the public pressue in the UK, I’m sure Mr Blair’s given the idea serious thought, and if despite public pressue, he’s still sticking to his guns, willing to defy the UN, lose members of his cabinet and risk his chances of reelection, the evidence for action against Iraq must be pretty huge. We elected these leaders- if we didn’t feel that they were responsible enough to be acting in out best interests, we shouldn’t have voted them in at the polling booths. The pros v the cons have probably been weighed up several times already by the people in the best position to judge it.The biggest crime people are guilty of is standing by and doing nothing despite the injustices they see every minute of every waking day.
As to the UN issue- the idea was so countries could get together and talk things over between themselves. A problem with the old League of Nations was that it had no army, or a way of enforcing its own rules- it relied on goodwill between its member states. In the end the bigger members of the League did what they wanted anyway. The UN is not too different. It could be years before a resolution is passed- can we afford to wait? Apparently our intelligence says no.
__________________________________________Mar 19th, 2003, 6:20pm »
——————————————————————————–
Does anyone remember the big security scare in the UK with the airports a few months ago, with hints it may have something to do with further terrorism attempts etc? You could see on Mr Blair’s face a sign of desperation at the time. Was the reason for that scare divulged?Maybe a twarted attempt (then again maybe not)- may be part of the reason we are backing America so passionately at this moment in time. Could be a knee jerk reaction, and a policy of better not dismiss evidence that doesn’t definitly link Iqaq with terrorism, but has a 60-70% risk instead of 100% risk desired by other nations before a resolution is passed.

All it takes is a few unlucky confrontations to turn a short war into a long war. And if what you said about Iran is true who says they’re not covertly supporting Iraq equipment wise?Vietnam was fought against a supposedly inferior opponent equipment wise
Don’t take quick victory for granted. They’ve had over 10 years to prepare – the americans are probably not the only ones to have learnt from the last war

On the other hand if I were French/German/anit-militant action, to save face, I’d spread rumours about WMDs being planted even if the Iraqis had them.

Participanthttp://www.freecomicbookday.com/pub_com.asp
Had a gander at the titles on offer this yr- have read a few of them:
The robocop book looks good, but it’s only a sampler from 1st glance- half a story isn’t what I’d call fun
Way of the Rat – looks like a reprint of issue #1- think crouching tiger hidden dragon type story. The art is gorgeous, plot is good, but is by the numbers- well worth having a look at (incidentally, 1st issue can be seen on the web- http://www.comicsontheweb.com/ – the complete first issues of all the crossgen titles are on the web anyway (sort of a preview thing making you want to buy more). Get way of the rat in paper form though, especially if it’s free.
Ultimate X-men #1 – you can tell free comic book day is very close to the X-men 2 movie release can’t you. issues 1-6 of this run are very good, just short of brilliant (the characters are missing a bit of individuality in their dialogue mannerisms IMHO)- still, a good plot. 6-12 lose the novelty, and from there, the series got boring. I’d have thought marvel would have been better off with a stand alone comic for free comic book day- issues 1-6 need to be read together or you get absoutley no sense of closure. I think this has been released in about 3 or 4 different forms, including previously free on the web- so just about everyone who’s read a comic in the last year has read this already- ah it can be found free on the web along with issues 2 and 3 – http://dotcomics.marvel.com/menu_flash.htm?flash_version=6
Both of the 2 comics on offer by oni are good- if u need to make a choice, I’d go with issue 1 of COURTNEY CRUMRIN & THE NIGHT THINGS- can be read as a self contained story. Incidentally this can also be found on the web with a few others: http://www.onipress.com/freecomic/ Skinwalker is very good, but getting only issue 1 of a 12 issue series that ideally needs to be read together isn’t the best way to go.
Not read the dark horse one, but looks very intriguing. Will defintely check it out.
Batman adventures looks crap however.
The recent new transformers series (plural, tv and comic book) all have been lacking, armada included.fluffy bunny
ParticipantEven if theyt don’t get another series, I’d have thought at a tv movie to finish, or at the worst do it in graphic novel/ standard literature form.

Participantquite enjoyed last night’s episode- sounds like the proper bbc serial to me
fluffy bunny
Participantsfx in the UK’s pretty good- only get an issue every few months, but excellent with regard to latest news about episodes in the States, science fiction and fantasy book reviews, cinema reviews and previews/in producion etc. Only problem I see with it is the pathetic attempt at a regular comics column in the mag that only covers one or 2 of the comics that come out each month.
Picked up one issue of cult times – that was rubbish inm comparison.
