Oooo, the war budget just hit 75 billion. And 6 billion of that is going to the Airlines.:rolleyes:

If you are reffering to my mistakes, take a better look at my post because I wrote it all correctly.

Forgot any hardships suffered by the Serbian population of Kosovo at the hands of the KLA or extremist groups, as this is irellevant regarding the civillian issue.


Irrelevant when regarding a civillian issue? So you think that Serbs who live(d) on Kosovo were like....soldiers? Not civillians? Oh no you didn't forget. You weren't told about what Serbs suffered on Kosovo. You were allready turned against us so there wouldn't be any point at telling you the truth.

Secondly - given the above, can you suggest a way of preventing the aformentioned atrocities which would have avoided some form of military aciton, given that the Yugoslav army was controlled by a fairly maniacal dictator and thus unlikely to change its course of action?

Military action was unnecessery. You attacked a SOVEREIGN country and therefore directly broke the most important UN resolution that applies to a  free nation. Let me ask you something. If your country was attacked by a such faction that tryes to take a part of your country, what would you do?
A Send special forces to eliminate the threat
B Sit and watch what would happen
C Ask them to come for tea and cookies and politely ask (beg) them to stop

Now....
You called us to Rambuei (sp) to threaten us with war and leveling our cities and killing our people. You sent us an ultimatum to surrender and allow a total ocupation of Yugoslavia. FASCISTS! You just sent your planes on March 24th 1999 at aproximately 20:00 hours. Fortunately, with the help of our sources in ******, we were able to obtain the information needed to organize our deffences and at least we mannaged to stop many attacks by the NATO Terrorists

Now, on our former president. The KLA struck first. There were no negotiations between us and them. They just came in and killed, slaughtered, kidnapped and tortured our civilians. What happened then? We were informed of all that, and as any free county would do, we sent our special forces to eliminate the threat. By bombing us, and entering Kosovo, you opened a great window of oppertunity to the KLA. Congratulations. USA AND ALL OF HER ALLIES HELP TERRORISM. Irronically, you are fighting the same terrorist group you are helping. Or at least, you think you are fighting them.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Then you could have tried to get the message out. If we wouldn't listen then someone else would have. (and by the way, no, I never heard a single report on the Serbs in Kosovo, but I don't trust the news. Believe it or not, we are not all ignorant fools who are out to get you.)

wow this is the biggest thread I have ever sired, normaly i don't even get two pages, hell, I usualy don't even get 10 posts.

um, oh, we've captured Sadam international airport, 7 miles from the center of Baghdad, I just hope we don't give it some stupid American leader name, I think nameing it after the first person to have died during the post Gulf war upriseing would be a good choice.

Pitiful, pitiful state of affairs... what if that 75 billion was spent (even a fourth of it) on education? (ahem, MATH BOOKS!) Though it's largely a local issue, in Oregon schools are being cut to hell. I mean, for the local middle school they're cutting half a million out next year.
 
Not that it'll change unless somehow the interests of government and the supporting populace and industries suddenly veer off toward the public (intellectual's) good. (i.e. very unlikely)
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

Agreed. Iraq needs more people like this man. Here's hoping they turn up.

well you never had it, this is a privet board so admins have the ultimate power to repress, though we all know you're stance and I don't know why he deleted whatever it was that you said, I doubt it was any more inflamitory than anything you have ever posted before,
I have no problem with you stating opinion,
even if it is filled with hate for me and my people

There is already enough money being spent on that; the problem lies in how they use that money, since the curricula and the whole education structure are in a complete mess at the moment. They need to fire all their current school admins and replace them with math professors who can actually do education right. :p

Recently read an American communist's view on the war. Ack; I'm tired of all this media saturation on the war. I bet history students of the future will have a ball game... unless Fahrenheit 359 becomes a reality. :nervous:
