I'll take that as a personal insult. Please retire what you said here. My family fought in the Resistance and the FFL. You are insulting my family and the French Resistance.
I am afraid you have taken that out of context. I was referring to peoples freedom other than your own. Its easy to defend your own freedom, but others is quite a different trait altogether.

PLEASE ANSWER:
1 - WHAT are we thinking exactly, according to you ?
2 - Where is the relation with the topic at hand (the US invading Iraq)
I'm not sure how to interpret that. I'll take a guess: the USA owns Europe ?
So, where is the "restored freedom" part you mentioned earlier, we exchanged Hitler against Bush ?
Im afraid I wasnt clear enough to be understood by you. The entire point is this. Using the most accurate predictor of the future.. which is the past. You cannot name a country that the US has defended this century that was not given complete control back to its hosts. This is to dispute the notion that the US is doing this to gain a stranglehold of oil, natural resouces, or take over the government. This is in direct refute of your quote stating
Quote:
Kuwait is basically an US colony. Nothing more.
Apparently you view Kuwaiti citizens freedoms from a dictator a meer inconvienience and the governments appreciation some form of burden? Does freedom leave that bad a taste in your mouth? By you stating or attempting to make comments like "Does the USA own Europe" or "Bush replaced Hitler" is total and utter disregard for historical context and a spit in the face for the Americans that were slaughtered defending your freedoms from Germany TWICE! If you are going to slant my words in this regard or even attempt to insult the blood price on your own freedom given by my countries patriots, then I can see how easily you could support Saddam, and I see no reason to continue this converstation until a more reasonable person takes up the arguement. Anyone else for a civil discussion?

Edit: User experiencing regret over the last 2 sentences. Please kindly disregard. Politics gets my blood flowing, and patriotic slams may yield to heart failure Not removed in case someone is responding already.
