Errr no. He wishes to punish the regime for using chem. weapons to act as a deterrent against their future use.

The rebels are just as bad, agreed. And yes I certainly wouldn't want them to come to power. If they were responsible for the attacks, how could you punish them? As the rebels they have few targets to be bombed. At the same time Assad is a ****. I would be content to let them kill each other if...

By us I meant the UK. I like to think the US would wait, given the mistakes made in Iraq there is no room for error this time.

There'll be no action from us until the MP's have debated. Wait for the report, what if the rebels are responsible? The whole of the middle east is a hell hole. :frown:

Shut up you tool.

Who say they'll play fair as well? They'll just bomb you from the air.

No doubt he has a shrine to Stalin in his bedroom.

:what: How very cynical. People elect who they want. Died with the USSR? More like it was born when the USSR died.

Don't get me wrong I agree with lots of what you are saying, stalin was a big factor. Because I don't really know enough about the Bengal famine to make judgements about it..

Although Japan had shown great interest in surrendering there were still many generals etc who would not surrender. The fact that many people committed suicide at the end of the war shows how determined some of them were to carry on fighting. No they weren't saving lives in the terror...

In what way is it ridiculous? Hundreds of thousands if not millions would have died in an invasion of Japan. The atom bomb killed less people. The parents of American men who would have died in the invasion would no doubt ask 'why didn't they use the bomb and end the war?' Obviously both...

Big chip on your shoulder...newsflash, people die in war. The Japanese were no angels.

Obviously, an invasion would have killed thousands of civilians as well. :what:

I have no doubt that the invasion of Japan would have cost far more lives. Overkill? I think not. The deaths of people are still the same regardless of whether they came at the hands of big bombs or small bombs. The atom bomb had to demonstrate to the world what it could do, just once was enough.

The lesser of 2 evils as harsh as it sounds. Quite sure there have been many worse days. Indeed the bomb effectively ended the worst war ever, against a very cruel nation. I am quite sure many people celebrated.

Mere off hand tweet which as usual everyone has read too much into. It neither flatters Pakistan as it is not compared to another country nor offends it.

You speak as if 640,000 executions is all good. WTF is wrong with you? All traitors right? Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Haha whatever mate. You go pleasure yourself about how heroic your civilisation is. :cuckoo:

Ha, we are talking about civilisations according to you. So yes therefore I can credit them to the western civilisation. I do believe that Europe was used as a term long before then, it is descendant from the greek god Europa. What did? You are rambling.

As I said, it is not black and white. In the past the Taliban would have been removed and that would be the end of it. Not anymore. We achieved that. Have they won? I wouldn't call living in caves winning... For another thread.
