Chaos, killing and endless misery in Uzbekistan
If only the poor oppressed citizens of that nation had had even 1% of the attention and the foul cries about 'torture', 'killings' and 'persecution' the neocons and warmongers of this world have devoted to Iraq.
And why, I hear you ask, the double standards?
Because butcher Karimov is best friends with the chimp, of course!
The hypocrisy is, as always, indescribable.

As the Ambassador found out.
1) Britain in Northern Ireland - right on our doorstep.
You sort out the big ones first, then move onto the little ones.
It makes strategic sense.
1. It's important.
2. It'as undemocratic.
3. It's run by religious extremists.
4. It has loads of oil.
Yeah, ok. Im for that, lets liberate an oppressed people woh had their land stolen. The Native Americans.
Who's with me? If we all move over there and buy some guns, we could easily arm ourselves. I got first dibs on this, mind.
Only in the short-term.
Lon-term it will see an increase in anti-US/UK feeling in that country as the population sees us supporting an unpopular, totalitarian state.
A little laughable, wouldn't you say, to be using that country to launch attacks against another on the basis that the second is run by a dictator...
Yes, the US is committed to the spread of democratic institutions around the globe, but there is only so much that can be done at a given time.
You have to prioritise.
Believe me, things ended up a lot worse when the US was isolationist. (League of Nations).
The Generals only supported him because heand they thought Germany could win.
Whats your point? If Hitler had received assurances from the USA that an invasion of Poland would mean the full force of the USA coming across the Atlantic he wouldnt have been able to do it. His Generals wouldnt have let him.
haha. hitler would have easily held his own against the USA without Russia to fight.
And for the record, No, Hitler couldnt have held out against the USA if it was allied with the UK and a free France.
Pretty rubbish point if you ask me. :rolleyes:
That's rubbish. Proof is that for most of the war he did- as always it was the dual-front war that scuppered the German war.
When it was a direct German-UK/US fight, the Germans won comfortably. To try and claim anything else is entirely wrong.
Yes, but the situation I am speaking of is one where Germany lacks the resources of Eastern Europe and faces a fully armed France, uk and USA.
Thats not what is being suggested. Read my posts more carefully.
Nah. Neither side really won that.
