What prompts this question are some of the answers to this McCann related question: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ai2z1Ro2OGw.dnTqi8cxs.cuLxV.?qid=20070612175045AAbBsN2

It seem to me that most of the negativity towards the McCanns is about them being "posh"; that Kate McCann is beautiful and elegant; that Gerry McCann is an articulate professional; they are both sucessful and respected doctors; that they have a stong and supportive family. Its almost as if some people are jealous and would happily let their kids be kidnapped in order to acheive the "fame" they perceive the McCanns as having. These are clearly people incapable of empathy, particularly for people who's lifestyles and ways of dealing with grief they can barely conceive of, let alone understand.

The McCanns took what at the time must have seemed an acceptable risk.The result of that mistake will live with them for the rest of their lives. Who do you really think you are to give your tuppenceworth?

Isn't that the craziest thing? Why would they want to start something like that just to get sued? Pretty amazingly ligit if you ask me.

Yes or No?

Why?

What are we doing there?

Were they ever an imminent threat to us?

Any weapons of mass destruction found??? (i dunno thats why im asking genuninely)

Have things improved since we went there?

Has the standard of living changed in Iraq for citizens there? Are they happier to be relieved of Saddam?

Are we safer since our military's presece there? Or are we still vulnerable to terrorist attacks? Or we are in the same security level as 2003?

As the terrorist activity gone down since our presence there? Are the threat levels to us much lower now?

I am not getting at obese people here but I can't fail to wonder why a so called cardiologist tolerates this sort of weight in a close relative.

The entire scientific community has been warning us for decades, yet many people still chose to believe the words of a couple of so-called "experts" hired by oil companies and the Bush administration (oil-family). The cigarette companies also had "experts" claiming that cigarettes weren't addictive and didn't cause cancer. What's your explanation?

Why did it go to war with Iraq? Didn't Jesus say: Blessed be the peace-keepers for theirs is the kingdom of heaven? What about his concern for the poor? Isn't the US government against the poor? Don't they pay all the taxes while corporations pay nothing? Is it hypocritical to claim you are a Christian when you deny asylum to the poor?

Senator Libermans comments regarding Iraq are " right on" Thank god he has the courage to speak up and go against the usual Democratic talking points. Senator Liberman has the wisdom to recognice who the real bad guys are!! No I do not want to start a war with Iraq! They must know they cannot kill American Servicemen and women and be allowed to get away with it, without any consequences. Its a shame his fellow Dems threw Liberman under the bus during the primary! Am I off base on this too?

I thought Al Gore (while not my favorite candidate) was at least an honest man. Then I saw this speech he gave after the first Iraq war and now I lump him in with all the other politicians. What an "about face" huh? He's so against the war? Not according to this rant. your thoughts?

Bush right after 9/11: "As for Bin Laden we will smoke him out of his cave. I recall seeing a poster out west saying 'wanted, Dead or Alive'.

So where is he? Hiding in a cave? Gimme a break. Bush isn't bothering with Bin Laden, he focused his attention to Iraq, and saddam Hussein. A nation that had nothing to do with 9/11, nor had Zero weapons of mass destruction and did not listen to the top weapons inspectors who said there was no evidence of WMD's.

We have top of the line high tech technology to do incredible things, but we can't find Bin Laden hiding in a cave? Apparently, war protesters voicing their opinions peacefully are more of a threat than Bin Laden.

So Yes, Osama has Bin Forgotten, or yet, ignored. Could it be the Bushites are in bed with him? Bin Laden couldn't be any more pleased.

If so, how do you think we'll do it?
What do you think the repercussions/outcome will be?
If not, why do you think we won't?

Why do the anti-McCann clan believe that the McCanns are going to be questioned by the Social Work Department when they return to the UK.
As I see it there can only be 3 possibilities
1]They are so embroilled in their anger they are totally blind to the fact that since there was no crime commited in the UK and therefore the SWD have absolutely no authority to question them at all!
2]They think a couple of thousand people signing a petition will in some magical way have an immediate change in the law thereby allowing the SWD to question them. Total fantacists, under European legislation this is an impossibility! Bear in mind the million+ who signed a petition to stop us going to war, very effective indeed!
3]They are hard of thinking! Believing that just because they want something to happen, then it will!I totally agree that the McCanns were wrong to leave there children unattended and I know almost all believe this but that won't change the law, no matter how much you want it to!
