Indeed, my idea of Freedom and Democracy is different to anyone elses, the same goes for all of us to some degree.

But to a certain degree, the American public has allowed some of it's Freedoms to be 're-defined', and knowingly so. If that can happen in the US itself, then surely those same prohibitions must be taking place elsewhere, and without the concern of keeping the voting public happy.

You know, this country just seems to keep on doing incredibly stupid things....

[diamondgeezer]

Hokay, I'm convinced. I've been in support of the action in the Gulf up until now, as you all probly know, but using napalm... that's going too far. I mean it's basically a small WMD, in that it indiscriminatly kills everyone within the (wide) target area and quite frankly that's just taking the piss.

If our Tony pulls out now I'll be forced to agree with the decision... and then of course I've got the fate of the Iraqi people under US authority on my concisous. Thank you very ****ing much, George.

I wonder - if this had come out a few weeks back, would the election have turned out differently?

You know, they're just using the most cost effective weapon...

[Grey Wolf]

Probably not. The gay marriage ammendments to bring out the conservative vote, combined with a remarkably effective PR campaign against Kerry, probably would have given Bush most of the battleground states he won.

Thing is, to once again paraphrase Reverend Martin Luther King,

Freedom is like life, it cannot be given in part, you either have it or you do not.

Says it all really

[Grey Wolf]

I rather prefer the quote by Benjamin Franklin. "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security."

I doubt it; you're not talking massed troops here, but small groups.  Given the social/political requirement to rebuild, it does seem a bit daft to use such a weapon.

Guess I have to add the caveat that the use of napalm in Falluja remains unconfirmed, though.

[vyper]

It makes sense if you think about who gets the contracts to rebuild...

I guess the US just said "Aw to hell with it" and just decided to Napalm those pesky snipers.

[an0n]

It'd be pretty funny if the Iraqi's started launching makeshift napalm mortars at the US troops.

The stuff's not even hard to make, especially in a ****ed-up city where looting 5000 packs of ceiling tiles is so easy.

That's because for a long time you were just a bunch of barbarians, didn't know what was good for you.

But who would need to invade England now-a-days anyway, just bomb it from afar. You would all be too busy *****ing at the government and appaled how the Queen flicked off some Nationality bla blah etc etc. to defend your own country.

Nearly all predictions of a post apocaliptic war describe that the world will be run from Australia which would be least impacted by such things...

[Eviscerator]

Too many ignorant and hateful children......

[Grug]

Ignorance is bliss.
And its not hateful, its just poor taste in humour.

Oh and does anyone else see the irony in 'pyro-maniac' being against Napalm?

[Grey Wolf]

"Ban the napalm, save the world for conventional pyros", perhaps?

[Grug]

Hehe. Perhaps... perhaps indeed.

Now when I think of his name, I hear the Doom 3 theme music ringing in my head and something burning.

Even bombed and beaten, we'll never be broken.

If you think Iraq is bad, just wait till someone tries to land troops on English soil. Fallujah will look like a walk in the ****ing park.

And then there's the Scottish to consider. There's tons of small towns in Scotland where English troops get the **** beaten outta them for no reason.

[Taristin]

It's actually "pyro-manic" and not 'pyro-maniac"
