sorry for taking so long to answer i went on vacation and completely forgot about this board... lol.
rich-66: "The real proof of her acting talent will be if she is honored for her work with various awards and award nominations."
not true, how many times have you been left scratching your head when an actor/actress/director/movie wins an award and noone seems to agree that the award should have been given? or on the other hand how many times have you seen a really great movie and no one nominated it for jack? so nominations and awards are not always a mark of talent.
- "all those in favor of invading an islamic country this week for the purpose of showing them that they can't attack us and get away with it, please raise your hand."
evidence was shown then and has been shown repeatedly AND the bush administration finally came clean and stated that iraq had no real ties to al-qaeda. in other words they had nothing to do with september 11th. the popular, albeit incorrect view, that they did has been disproven numerous times.
- "If, as a result of our slap on the Iraqi hand, terrorists contemplating September 11th style attacks think twice before acting, his action was justified."
see we're falling into the same trap that plagues palestine and israel... this shouldn't be a "tit for tat" situation and when we make it so i think we've proven we only send more young muslim men and women into the throngs of fanaticism. we create more terrorists in the process. we went to afghanistan to end the attacks against us. that was completely justified as the taliban had known ties to al-qaeda and they were harboring the man responsible for the attacks, osma bin laden. the only problem is we pulled troops out to be part of the invasion of iraq. we have failed in afghanistan and broken our promise to her people. we told the afghans that we would help set them free... we told the world that we would help them and wouldn't leave them behind... have you seen the situation in afghanistan lately? the only part that most would say is "safe" would be kabul but the rest of the country has fallen into the hands of the warlords. women and girls are being kidnapped and raped. the violence there is worse than when the taliban were in power (i'm not saying that the taliban were good, no i'm saying we should have done what we said we were going to do and not been twits). AND to top everything off there are reports that al-qaeda has moved right back in. i mean come on terrorists have moved into iraq... we didn't deter anything.
- "The French lack of support in our effort was probably more aimed at Tony Blair and the British support for our war on terrorism. It seems like which ever side the British are on the French take the opposite stance."
i think most french citizens would tell you the reason they disagreed with our government on the war was because they simply didn't agree with the war. it's silly to say that the french only were against the war because of their feelings toward the british. "if it wasn't for those darn brits and french and their stupid ego's everyone would've been for the war," how true do you honestly think that is? couldn't it be that the french and the germans were against the war because (gasp) they were against the war!
- "Now, if political discussion is not enough for you, visit the The Magdalene Sisters message board and get involved in some heated religious debate."
