Imagine if you were born there.. Now in Iraq its over 100,000 estimated civilians has died on the war which i still believe it wasnt necessary for the war at the time with no planning.
I thought we should all read this again to remind us of the kind of ignorance that votes into power people like Bush. Please get your facts straight. Instead of being lazy like the majority of this country and only having the time to get up and turn on CNN or FOX news, try educate yourself.

The links between the Daily Mail and Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts and the paper's support of the Nazi party prior to the war are well publicised, is the paper's political stance any different these days ?

Before i start, I am against the hizbullah and their tactics of killing civilians, but they are terrorists, and so we can expect them to do their crimes.
But Israel, a "civilized" state, has killed hundreds of civilians. It looks good on the media since it "warns" civilians to run, but in the same time, it bombs any car that moves, how does that make sense?
Israel also threatened to attack UN peacekeepers if they attempted to repair bomb-damaged bridges in southern Lebanon to allow humanitarian supplies.

How can a civilized country act so cruel and be a civilized one? how can they break international law and the world be ok with it? they used phosphoric bombs, killed children and civilians. their tactics prove useless since hizbullah is still firing rockets. So really, Israel is killing civilians mostly in this war. but, one must remember, to kill someone a weak and defenseless human is cowardice and terorrism. right?

Last night Chicago Police shot a 14 year old boy who was accused of armed robbery. They shot him five times in the torso. Witnesses say he reached into his pants and pulled out the gun. Some witnesses say he aimed it others say he was putting it down. Did police have the right to shoot him?

I say yes. When you're being chased and you want to surrender the first thing you do is raise your hands in the air. If you reach for anything they will shoot. And i'm sick of all the protests. Don't put the blame on the police. They are not at fault. The problem with america these days is we don't take responsibility for our actions. There are consequences to our decisions. That kid decided to rob somebody and not surrender when asked to. Instead he ran. The public is speaking out. I say the boy did it to himself. He knew the consequences. It's tragic, but he made his choice.

The weather forecast for Edinburgh says it's bright and sunny today. So why is it raining?

Come to think of it, the forecast said that it'll rain and thunder all of the week we had all that sunshine..

What evidence have you seen that backs up your concern for this "impending doom"?

How do you suggest we change the rate of global warming if it exists?

Yes, the poor civilians and children but what about the animals who are being left behind when the civilians are told to evacuate.
Some animals sit on their porches waiting in vain for their owners to come home only to die of starvation or something else.
Breaks my heart.

opened fire in a Jewish synagogue, killing one woman and injuring five others yet the media has dropped this story like a hot potato while continuing to hammer and hammer and hammer on the Mel Gibson story. What do you make of this strange twist of events?

Majority of Lebanese are non-Shiea and been enjoying peaceful and modern life and they always wanted to live peacefully with Israel.

Whereas Iran’s regime has been ignoring Lebanon’s sovereignty by creating and Arming hizballa in order to eliminate Israel from the region.
Isn’t it madness that Iran’s regime can easily announce that they want to eliminate the Israel from the region?
