i thought it was a ill thought out venture that would lead to massive loss of life and a prolonged guerilla war. I thought that the US forces were not prepared for the urban guerilla war that it would become. i didn't think they would listen to the British who have been fighting a war against terrorists for over thirty years. I thought that they would use inappropriate firepower against civilian areas causing mass devastation and fuel a support for the resistance fighters and I belived that it would become a magnet for Islamic extreamists. So no I'm not suprised that thiis is where we are and I belive that it will get worse before ending in civil war and an American withdrawl having claimed the job is done but in truth getting out and leaving them to it.

I disagree. it's natural for her parents to want to extend her life as much as possible. However, I'm sure this is not a decision that her husband has taken lightly. Unfortunatly people have a life at all costs attitude without taking in to consideration quality of life. I have worked as a carer with peolpe in Teri's situation and firmly belive that she should not only have her feeding tube removed if that is what the Medical staff looking after her and her husband decide but I woould go further and say that a lethal injecting should be used to hasten the end of her life. I find it strange that in a country that up to twenty days ago executed child offenders and continues to execute the mentally ill that so much attention has been payed to this case.

I agree with you. I was totally against the war but now two years on I belive that we (The US and the UK) have a moral obligation to see the process through to the endgame. No matter what the cost in the lives of our servicemen and women, the decision to sacrifice them was made over two years ago, to pull out before the stated stategic objective is compleated would be to dishonour the scarifice of those already dead.

OK Ying, I couldn't resist this post. Rotting bodies don't bear much resemblance to living ones, and having seen both refridgerated bodies, rotting bodies and Plastistnated ones, I think the latter are closest to living tissue in look. Also the body doesn't really smell inside unless you cut the gut it only smells a little like blood. When I went to the bodyworlds exhibition there was loads of Nurses and med students not to mention Physios, Radiographers and other Proffesionals Allied to Medicine there. If you read the visitors book theres loads of them. And if you haven't studied anatomy before you go you will defininatly learn something while you are there and maybe its even insipred people to study further. I saw very few people there who were anything other than fascinated by that which they don't normaly get to see and I saw no one there who seemed in any way shocked. Your analogy with explosives doesn't work. Teach people about explosives and they can kill people and damage property, teach them about what lays under their skin and they are hardly likely to want to disect themselves. The human body is used as a public exhibit everyday, in magazines on the TV and in the Movies. Have you ever purchased a fashion magazine? Then you have supported the human body as a public exhibit. I find your North Korea reference interesting, do you have any proof to back up this claim or is it just a rumour? The pregnat woman was a work of art, a living memorial. I found the man riding a dead horse far more contraversial. Actualy Bunny poo is quite nutritious and doesn't taste to bad.

I saw the snowcap om Killi some months ago and it was amazing being there at 18,000ft but it made me angery that I'd never be able to climb through the snow in a couple of years ever again.

Woohoo! I'm going to be in Ireland all next week and will be there for Paddy's day! The Craic will be mighty for sure! Having said that I was over there a couple of weeks ago and alot of the Irish were not looking forward to it at all.

I don't have to rely on second hand material to see how many people support Abu Hamza, I've seen with my own eyes at finsbury Park Mosque and its a very small amount. He is dispised amoung British Muslims and I should know as I was brought up in the comunity and still am in the community. As for the quote from me, you quote me out of contex. but I do get fed up of hearing such ill informed and prejudice views that are either unfounded or based on biased or fictitious information spouted as if they were factual.

You still don't get it do you. What I'm saying is simply that because there are a terrorist groups that claim to kill in the name of Allah doesn't mean that all, most, or even alot of Muslims support terrorism or what happened on 9/11. Just as because there are alot of Terrorist groups who claim to kill in the name of a Christian God doesn't mean that All, most, or even alot of Christians support terrorism or what the Alliance has done in Iraq. Ultimatly one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. If we were to exterminate all terrorists then Nelson Mandela, Pope John Paul II, Ariel Sharron (along with alot of Isreali prime ministers), Gerry Adams, Martin McGuiness would all be dead.

What about Christian Terrorists? I don't hear you or anyone else condeming them. Using the warped logic of the Islamophobic posts in here I've come up with post proving that Christian terror stems from a Christian relegion that worships a god of hate and intolerance. That it is in the Bible that homosexuals should be murdered and that Christ condemed himself as a man who came to earth to turn families against themselves. Christ wants martyrs who will recive paradise in exchange for martyrdom. And Christians want to kill everyone whos not a Christian. First piece of evidence just some of the many Christian terrorist groups around the world both Prod and Catholic... ETA Continuity Army Council Cumann na mBan Fianna na hEireann Irish National Liberation Army Irish People's Liberation Organisation Irish Republican Army Loyalist Volunteer Force Orange Volunteers Red Hand Commando Red Hand Defenders Saor Eire Ulster Defence Association Ulster Freedom Fighters Ulster Volunteer Force Catholic Reaction Force (CRF) God's Army Irish Republican Army (IRA) Irish Republican Army (IRA) - Continuity Irish Republican Army (IRA) - New Irish Republican Army (IRA) - Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) - Real Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) SLA - South Lebanese Army Christian Identity group, the Covenant, The Sword and the Arm of the Lord (CSA), NLFT National Liberation Front of Tripura NSCN Nagaland for Christ The Christian God is a God of hate.... These verses taken from the bible! Leviticus 20:13 - If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Christians abuse children and their God wants them to! Proverbs 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. More from the God of hate! Leviticus 20:23 - And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. Leviticus 26:30 - And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. Deuteronomy 32:19 - And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. Psalm 5:5 - The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Psalm 5:6 - Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. Psalm 10:3 - For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. Psalm 11:5 - The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. Psalm 53:5 - There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. Psalm 73:20 - As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. Psalm 78:59 - When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: Psalm 106:40 - Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. Proverbs 6:16-19 - These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Proverbs 22:14 - The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein. Lamentations 2:6 - And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest. Hosea 9:15 - All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters. Zechariah 11:8 - Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. Malachi 1:3 - And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. Romans 9:13 - As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. The real reason Jesus came to earth, all that nonsence about him being the prince of peace 34“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to turn “ ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughterinlaw against her motherinlaw– 36a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.’ 37“Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Mathew 10:34-39 Don't be fooled Christians CELEBRATED 9/11! Don't be fooled Christians CELEBRATED the destruction of Columbia! Christians HATE AMERICA and FREEDOM! Want proof? Check this out!

For a superpower its a place with a very fragile ego. Anyway, its not a crime to bash America, so long as one doesn't bash Americans. The difference between America and Europe is that America is yet to learn how to laugh at itself, which is a pity as theres alot to of comedy material there.
