My dear American cousins.

It has come to my attention that following the deplorable acts of 1776 we are not as close as we once were. However as an act of goodwill I would like to extend the hand of friendship and invite you to once again come back to the British Empire.
All that we require is the following:

The American police will be instructed by Canadian Mounties on how to discuss the odd bahaviour of the weather.
Baseball and the NFL will be dropped in favour of cricket and rugby.
Elisha Cuthbert will be sent to the UK to pander to my every need.
I propose the next B&J flavour

In return we offer:
Cooler ship names for your navy. USS Ronald Reagan becomes HMS Attitude
All the packets of prawn cocktail crisps you can eat.
A head with a crown on your money.
We'll swap sides in the Ryder Cup (Europe vs the British Empire).
We'll keep hold of Madonna for you.
You get to participate in numerous royal events and get free entry to Chessington World of Adventures.

I ask this because I am fed up with our involvement in many wars which we should not partake in. our hospitals are a nightmare. education system seems to let down many people albeit many are passing multiple "A" level passes, whatever. community atmosphere is appalling and general violence on weekend nights is stopping many genuine folk from venturing out. immigration control is non existent, whats going on? whos to blame? can we change this tide to distruction? superman where are you when we need you...someone save this planet

I do not understand why these Muslim leaders are just giving statements and organising rallies in their own country instead of discussing and formulating a strategy to deal with terrorism and Islamophobia?.

A few days ago the Press released a news clipping about dropping gas prices coming just in time to assist businesses gearing up for the next busy Christmas season, only really about a month away. These falling gas prices will now supply consumers with extra cash for the gift giving season ahead. Well here is where the reality surfaces, the November elections,and the false front of the extra cash for Christmas is used to make us think the Saudis are doing us a favour when in fact it is helping the Republicans and George Bush to plug their views in order to get more of their side voted into office. Falling gas prices make us think everything is good with the world when in fact it is just a moment in time being used until this election stuff is over with. I used the term double entendra which implies two intended meanings. Do you know of another name for this sort of technique?

We are well aware that a large majority of the terrorist groups wage war by using extreme power, killing the wealth of nations, raping women and children ( as the taliban and others portray) do it in the name of islam. Does islam really preach such fanaticism?? why is it that many of these extremist groups follow islam?

I've got two words...Depleted Uranium. We used over 2400 tons of it in Iraq this time. Look it up. It's nasty, and it is a WMD. Massive residual radiation lasting forever! The half-life on the stuff is 4.5 Billion years! Half life means that there will be half as much of the stuff in 4.5 billion years!!!! Meanwhile, anyone living anywhere in the middle east or to the western borders of India, down to Egypt....will die off over the course of the next few generations, and as these people get exposed to the airborne radioactive particles, they now have a cancer rate 160 TIMES normal. Birth defects are skyrocketing...and I'm not talking cleft palate...these children are being born without mouths to eat or scream, enlarged heads, no heads, no brains, cyclops eye...really weird stuff. Uranium does not leave your body or your DNA ever! As they get re-exposed to greater and greater amounts, the entire poputlation of the area will die off.

Terrorist experts and generals who served in Iraq have said that the Iraq war is not necessary, and is making more terrorists. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/09/24/iraq.main/index.html?eref=yahoo

These experts who have been there have said that Iraq was safer under Saddam. They claim that this war has spawned more terrorists. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060926/pl_nm/security_usa_dc_7;_ylt=AlCLFe9So.UH0YTl9iIGbWITv5UB;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl

They say it's a losing battle that's going now place. All this after idiot Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney told us it would only cost taxpayers 9 billion for the war. Now it looks like it will cost a trillion dollars.

Isn't it time we slowly pulled out of Iraq and focused on Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan? Shouldn't we be going after the culprits for 9/11 instead of being bogged down in Iraq?

My brother in laws family in Iraq say that they were safer under Saddam.

this is a question to all arabs out there do you see iran as a real threat to the arab world and what are you thoughts on syria and its relationship with iran do you view syria as being kind of a "traitor" to the whole arab world because iran is trying to take control of the middle east and its not even an arab state and it has formed a kind of partership with iran and besides iran is more of a threat to arabs than isreal is and saddam was the only person keeping iran from becoming a regional power with him gone iran is free to do what it wants with no real threat to stop it what are your thoughts on this

If Islam is a peaceful, non-violent religion, then why is it that muslims have been responsible for more death and destruction in just the last 5 years than the entire Crusades?

That is with Islamic fundamentalists? Do you think they would be treating us with so much political correctness if they had the upper hand militarily? If you give them an inch, they will take a yard. Be careful, this dog will bite if you give it a chance.
