Actually - nor was I. I was referring to the choice given to the Moors and the Jews of Cadiz in spain who were offered conforming to christianity or being burnt - for their own good you understand, if they refused. There are also plenty of dictators still around in the world, why not pull out of Iraq and go SAVE some other poor people.

monica is soooo out of the picture

Eliko , I do apologise for confusing your sex . I think having read one of your posts on the scantily dressed women of America , I presumed that you are a female. My apologies.

[Eliko]

miltiades, you have redeemed yourself somewhat with your apology, please also accept my assurance that I do not consider YOU an adversary, I am seriously at odds with your opinions on many occasions, disappointed that you do not allow for any divergence in our exchanges, certainly offended by your verbal attacks on my person, apart from that, I think your great!!!!.

[miltiades]

Eliko , I have my principles and I stand by them . I'm a 60 year old married man , to the same woman for over 40 years , a strong believer in family values and a staunch supporter of democratic values. I consider the greatest gift of life to be my absolute and unquestionable right of freedom of expression. No life can be worth living if my brain , or yours , is curtailed and and subjected to indoctrination by religious or political ideologies demanding blind adherence to a fundamental and theocratic ideals that my logic rejects as out dated and medieval.
I support wholeheartedly the Western world values that accommodate my personal love of freedom of expression , no other culture accommodates even a microscopic part of this very precious gift.
I pour scorn on cultures that thrive on misguided ideological beliefs that embrace horrific acts and demand total obedience by their mentally raped followers.

I love my Cypriot brothers and sisters and wish that one day sooner rather than later , we get together as one nation with a common identity that of the CYPRIOT .When that happens I promise to cook everyone a burger and chips !

ofcourse miltiades believes in all this ONLY if it fis into his udnerstandings of purpose and existance, everyone else deserve to get bombed by the US....

[Eliko]

miltiades, I would be interested to know the reason for why you assume that I do not share your principles, the only difference between us seems to be your inflexibility when it comes to the understanding of other nations.

I am absolutely convinced that Western cultures have no right to impose their will on those of the East, surely you do not advocate that the West is entitled to do so, regardless of the wishes of those affected nations.

By adopting such a stance, you are insisting that your culture is superior to the other, in presenting such a case and using America as an example, you are doomed to failure since, clearly, America is notoriously decadent.

Decadence means, 'Of a lower standard (particularly moral) than it was previously....... You are an older man and surely can determine that that is a fact. Your own lifetime will substantiate that fact, you have lived to see it.

The attack on Iraq has been condemned by almost every nation on earth, it was carried out unlawfully and is the root cause of all the terrible attrocities that are now a daily occurrence, I do not agree with them but I do realise that they are the result of the American attack.

I consider the act of raining bombs on innocent civilians from the safe altitude of 6 miles, to be a cowardly, indeed murderous one, I cannot see how you can justify it, perhaps you can explain.

The manner in which other nations conduct their affairs is not subject to the West's approval, more so when the West cannot control it's own affairs, you must be aware of the corruption that permeates those societies.

Let us not assume that we know the reasons for the conflict, the only thing we can be sure of is the fact that we are prevented from knowing by those who rule, we are all subject to the rule of law, East or West, the people are entitled to their own beliefs and perceptions.

Mis-guided as the suicide bombers may be (and I agree they are) it is their way to demonstrate to the world that they are not prepared to be forced to accept the social changes required of them.

Eliko , have a look at this and then come back and tell me that the manner that other nations contact their affairs in the 21st century is not subject to the West's approval.

[Eliko]

shahmaran, please post something quickly, you are at 666 and that is the number of the beast. (we all know just who's number that is!)

its an anti-muslim site carefully created in order to bring a bad name to muslims, as much as i hate any form of organized religion i still dont think i have EVER come accross any of these acts in cyprus nor turkey, but even if they do exist who the hell are you to judge miltiades? the ever so open minded lover of freedom and peace?! unfortunately your "open mind" can open only as far as a typical 60 year olds can, which is not that far, thank god you are not a politician
