Why is it acceptable for the West to have double standards when it comes to civilian death, and civil liberties? 9/11 started the War on Terror, with the death of many American civilians. The US invaded Iraq to depose the "dangerous" tyrant Sadam Hussein, who supposedly had a hand in it, and used "shock and awe" tactics, namely dropping many hundreds of tons of explosives on Baghdad, causing the death of many hundreds (thousands?) of civilians, and hardship for countless others. Why is this acceptable, and 9/11 wasn't?

Also, why is it acceptable for Bliar (apologies, i don't know about america) to remove the right to trial by jury, to be arrested with charge, peaceful protest outside parliament, among many other rights removed in recent years, yet to criticise Iran, Syria etc. for not having the same "democracy" as the West, if we systematicly destroy hundreds of years of democracy and freedoms in a few months?

Ahoy Hoy Fans.

Ok, question is mainly to fellow Brits, but anyone else is happily welcome to reply.

My question is simple. With the current debacle about the Natwest Three raging in the British Media, with allegations of Blair being a Poodler to America, do any other fellow Brits believe we're becoming spineless to the Yanks? Havn't we been like this since the Cold War, and Thatcher?

To Americans, do you see us as a nation that will follow you in everything, or would you prefer us to be a friendly nation who is capable of arguing back at you, in the spirirt of friendly disagreement?

40% of the U.S. budget is spent on retired people - and the Baby Boomers haven't even retired yet. It now takes the social security taxes of three working people to pay for one retiree's benefits. And people are living longer...and longer...

Yet young peole helped lead the charge to kill social security reform. Without drastic change, your tax rate could be 60% or more by the time you're 30 years old and trying to raise a family.

I'm not advocating any particular stance. I'd just like to know if this scares you, if you think it's a problem, and how this can be solved.
