Having watched, along with millions of other people the Ch4 Dispatches programme - http://www.channel4.com/news/dispatches/themes/society_theme_landing.html on 15/01/07, I cannot help but wonder why UK troops are in Afghanistan and Iraq (which, as I understood, was to maintain our own Nations' democracy, peace, etc) when, according to the above programme, UK people are allegedly "being groomed" to accept and change to the Islamic Faith or face the consequences - which is contrary to what the UK Govt are saying.

IF this programme is correct in the facts, WHY has UK Govt not shut down, or deported these "missionaries" (sic) when our own UK children are not even allowed to wear the Christian cross around thier neck?

A Dispatches reporter attends mosques run by organisations whose public faces are presented as moderate and finds preachers condemning integration into British society, condemning democracy and praising the Taliban for killing British soldiers.

This week, Mahmoud Abbas ("Abu Mazen"), the Chairman of the Palestinian Authority, told a rally in Ramallah that the "moderate Palestinians" in the Fatah must understand that their job was to kill Israelis.

In fact, he stated, "We will not give up our principles and we have said that rifles should be directed against the [so-called Israeli] occupation."

Is that really what the moderate Arabs should be doing?

Will that bring about peace in the region?

Is this the man among the Arabs that the United States should trust? Is he any better than the arch-terrorist Arafat?

Basically, I've looked a little bit into the job and it sounds interesting... I've read all the pre-requisites, application process, et al, but I couldn't really find much about being a Special Agent on the site, so I was wondering if any one here could maybe just talk about what they do?

My biggest question was, do you get a lot of field duty? Are you actually out investigating, or are you sitting in the office doing paperwork? I know with investigation comes paperwork, but would you say you do a fair balance of each?

I won't be able to apply for at least eight years anyway, but I'm just trying to get a feel for it now to see what I can do that could make myself more valuable.

I've looked into the FBI jobs and it seems like they departmentalize everything too much... With NCIS, they made it sound like everyone gets more equal opportunity and learn more while still having some special background or skill that is valuable to the organization.

Ey, thanks in advance!

I want to know what makes a person or group a terrorist and what distinguishes them from a mass killer whether they are foreign or domestic. I myself believe Bush and the administration have pounded the word terrorism in to everyones mind so much that it is pre-programed in everyday life. What do you think! BRAINWASHED people, I think!!!!!!!!!

And after that experience yesterday, I cannot get it out of my head. My son is training and hoping to join the Royal Marines later this year. He knows how I feel, all parents know how I feel but he could get hit by a bus tomorrow so I need to be positive for him and support him as it is what he has always wanted. How do I turn this around, how do I show that I am pleased for him and proud.

The British Army seem to be doing the right thing in Iraq, could the American Army learn a thing from us?
Surely there are more American troops in Iraq than British? Why aren't the Americans being begged to stay?

I'm not trying to be an *** here, but I think it's pretty obvious if the US went to war with Iran, Iran is going to lose.... horribly. The question is, when? What factors do you think would come into play and how long do you think it would last until they raise the white flag?

When it comes to sending our sons and daughters into combat for a mistake that he made. I fought in Vietnam and I have a nephew who died in Iraq. He never set foot on foreign soil in combat. It would have put a crimp in his happy hour.

However, Bush is not a thinking President. His thoughts, if any at all, and words orginate from his cabinet officers and advisers who in turn represent vested interests. He is just the mouthpiece but then is de facto the Commander in Chief, opposition be damned!
If America expects to win by sending in another 20 plus thousand troops, the country better be prepared first for more body bags and another round of conscription as replacements for war deaths and wounded.
Although defeat is a very scary word and not in the lexicon of Bush (and his cohorts), neither is outright victory. America cannot win, not when it is fighting as an occupying force against enemies whose cause is to defeat the invaders and to force them out of their land.
Everyone can see that the cause of the Iraqi insurgents is by far a greater force of will than America's professional and conscripted soldiers who really have no wish to be on Iraqi soil in the first place if they had a choice.
This is likely a long war of attrition which will see America admitting defeat just like Vietnam when body count of US deaths mounts and the Democrat-controlled congress refuses additional fundings,
The Amemrican people must ask loudly why their country should spend so much money to remain in Iraq, besides paying with American lives.
All this is in fact done to serve the interests of big businesses, especially those in arms manufacture and even more so in the oil business.
One can recall that the first action of the American 'governor' following the 'successful' invasion of Iraq was to carve up the oil interest in Iraq and distribute these to American companies. The same fate befell other major economic sector businesses.
Question is how long does one think the Iraqis would condone this economic rape and looting of their land.
The Iraqis are waking up to realaise that they have been 'liberated' from a brutal tyrant only to become economic slaves in their own land to the do-gooders.
However, the even bigger question is whether the Shiites would really cooperate with the Sunnis or for that matter America to see an end to sectarian strifes for a more stabilised Iraq. Perhaps Al-Maliki would prefer the current statu quo which better serves the Shiite interest and will therefore certainly do whatever is necessary to keep America mired in Iraq so that he and his sect can stay in power, again to further their own end.
Bush wants to be remembered in history as a can-do President. He desperately wishes to withdraw and he would if he could. For quite a long while to come, this can only remain on his 'dearest wish' list. Reality is that America through the incompetent leadership of a poor Presidient, must be ready for the long grind before the country can extricate its troops home.
Changing the war 'managers' and sending more troops is really the best joke of them all but for the fact that one cannot laugh over the dead bodies of Americans and Iraqis.
