GorillaGal, it is not my intention to insult you and I do not direct my comments to you directly, (you just seem to have the habit of getting in the way) ha ha. The defence of your country is commendable and we are all aware of the fact that you are not a fan of George Bush, you are probably not in favour of the conflict in Iraq which is also commendable, however, where we seem to be at odds or in disagreement creates the conflict between us, I state that America had no right either lawfully or morally to attack Iraq, I also maintain that it cannot be recognised as a 'War' since it was a 'no contest' situation from the word go.
The general consensus of opinion world-wide is that it was an act of barbarism against an innocent nation. (proven to be so of the charges laid against it).
The American way of life is NOT wanted in most Eastern countries since it undermines their cultural beliefs, I think they are entitled to that, you do not apparently, the parents of young children are horrified at the exploitation of the young of America, so am I, you are not.
These are the areas where we do not agree, there are many more but that does not make you wrong and me right, it makes us different.
Hurling abuse at each other solves nothing, nor does insult, we must find a common ground and discuss our differences, that is the way forward in any dispute and that is the root cause of the conflict in Iraq, the people of that nation are different to us and are perfectly entitled to conduct themselves as they see fit, without lawful or unlawful interference by any other nation without JUST cause.
I do hope I have not offended you or insulted you in the past, it is not nor was not my intention if I have or did.
Were I in your position, I would be at pains to study my grandparents cultural attributes, you will surely find them to be vastly superior to your adoptive country, take care and God Bless X.
