Quote:Right. No one's bagging the new Socialist for being a coward, socialists are cowards. Everyone knows this and no one expects anything better from them. What I'm disappointed in is how cowardly the Spanish people are, They stared danger in the face and blinked. Raised the white flag, played French.
Plus, what right-thinking person would unconditionally turn over total control to the UN? Has the UN ever not totally ruined any country it has attempted to rebuild? I mean, look at the former Yugoslavia. Remember that little war we fought five years ago with Serbia? Look how well they kept that up. Now it's looking more and more every day like we'll have to repeat the process again.
Socialists are dick heads no question about.
But if the president decided too do somthing that would increase the threat terrorism on your own country and it was not necessary, Wouldnt you be upset? The war in Iraq isnt conciderd a war on terrorism by many, Bush even said there is no connection with Al Qeada, Saddam didnt help terrorist anymore then north korea or Syria.

If you lived in spain you would be freightend too take a bus or train because your afriad it may be the next target.All because of Iraq your safety and welfare are at risk.
Former Yugoslavia is a mess because of centuries of ethnic hatred,Just like Northern Ireland. Its hard too build a country when all the different groups want too knife each other and finnish old grudges at any cost.I seriously doubt the U.S could have fixed it any better unless they tossed in some puppet dictator who would rule with a Iron fist.If it waisnt for the U.N in the in former Yugoslavia there would have been a massive Holocaust.
Iraq and Afghanistan have ethnic issues but not anything too the scale of Yugoslavia.
