What are the odds for a nuclear attack?

I'd say that your reply is pushing your luck.

The death of a Somali citizen resulted in the disbanding of the Candian Airborne Regiment and lengthy investigations. Despite the usual cover-ups, the investigations not only continued but concentrated on the failings of the top brass and the effects on the Canadian military.

Canada has not started a war, nor does it use Napalm on children (as happened in Fallujah).

Your government set out to pervert justice by presenting falsified evidence to the United Nations for the express and sole purpose of waging aggressive war.

All countries have "rotten apples" - the British in Kenya, the French in Algeria, but when barbarity becomes policy, then it is a different matter.

The waging of aggressive war is not just a crime but - according to the US prosecutor at Nurnberg - it is "the crime".

On the basis of your line of argument, the fact that there were incidents of US soldiers killing prisoners of war in WWII meant that America was unfit to prosecute the Nazis ? Is that what you think of America ?

What has happened to the Brits ?

The small group who so desparately resent the loss of "their" Empire found fools in the USA to follow Britain's rather unsuccessful campaigns in Iraq and Iran in the 1920's.

They tried to explain to the Americans that killing children and razing cities did not help if they wanted to play at being imperialists.

The Bush regime - ever resentful - decided to teach the British a lesson, so when planning the Nazi-style demolition of Fallujah they needed some British troops involved so that they would be compromised.

The British have found that the Bush tactics are in no way intended to win support from Iraqis - but are pure barbarity for the sake of barbarity. The role being used by Bush is not the Empire-building methods which enabled Britain to rule half the world, but are based (and based precisely) on the plans that Hitler had for Poland.

So the British - ever politely devious - have realised that a big, dumb country which is spiralling into a recession that it cannot control does not really offer them anything, so they have decided to wake up and join the civilised world instead.

Perfidious Albion, Donald - the Brits despise you.

Not according to what we see on this side of the pond...its Tony Blair, who, unlike Chirac, actually opposes Islamic terrorism. Blair basically told other European leaders that they would have to deal with George Bush, and that he could be an honest broker between them and the United States....remember, and after the election how TB actually arrived in the USA just in the nick of time? Broker? I doubt it. What was the purpose of his visit?

Chirac's response? No way. You support George Bush, you can write us off. Some things never change, I suppose.

Chirac is just upset that the US is the only superpower left, and France and the EU are becoming increasingly irrelevant when it comes to the security of the world. We'll have to remember their cooperation the next time they need somebody to save their bacon.

And that day will come.

Tony Blair personally receives about 100,000 dollars a year from the largest French armaments contractor.

Didn't they report that little scandal in America ? Blair is a crawler- and he does not speak with the backing of the Brits. He lies continually - no, one cannot even call it lying. He makes it all up as he goes along. Didn't you notice ? He is like a prostitute - he says what the punter wants to hear.

He does it well, but it requires a suitably dumb audience.

As for the French, stop blaming them for your own dishonesty.

Yes, thanks so much for the help that the Bush family provided to Europe. Nazi financiers are really the kind of trash we need. You know the story of how Auschwitz-Birkenau came to be built ...... thanks to the family Bush.
