Wufei....did i ever tell you you're my hero? ~Sniffle~
Such passion...such devotion...such a scary amount of free time on your hands. O_o;;

Seriously, Dood...you are the "Sha" of arguements here, ihaven't seen anyone else put as much time and as much passion into thier point of view. I say we vote you our next president. 8)

Speaking of which...>.>;

If it wasnt for us French would be a dead language...who else speaks that pansy langueage...French Guine?

And ??? What does it have to do with this topic on war ?

You should add that in our uncivilized country, people eat frogs and snails. Therefore we do not deserve respect.

Our currency is not "erodollar" (sexy money ?) but "euro".

and not to Iraq and they can also stop given Iraq airplane parts and money.

Is "compassion" the good word ? I don't clearly understand what you mean here...

To all people who think that France should help the USA in Irak because the USA helped France at the end of WWII, I'd like to say that there is a big difference : in 1944, France was being occupied by Germany, our country was being INVADED. Whereas here, I don't think Saddam Hussein has invaded the USA.

One more thing: please don't make generalities. We are all individuals. please don't say "The french are this", "the american are that"...it's nonsense.

mr Oni, I've never seen you. I don't know how old you are, but I think that neither of us have seen WWII. You surely don't know how it really was, and you didn't help Europe yourself. Your father or grandfather maybe, but not you. Stop saying "we" when you talk about what YOU did not do.
Moreover, You can't say France is not "thankful" for what the USA did during WWII. The only thing is that the USA are not being attacked by another country. If this is the case one day, I'm sure that Europe would help (but this wouldn't be a great help, if we compare the US Army to french Army

)
France does not agree with Hussein's government. Yet our leaders think there was a more "friendly" way than a war. That' s all.
Don't be angry with French just because we don't want to see our friends die for oil...

I'm not good at politics and stuff. I know that something isn't clear in the relations between France and Irak...if someone explained (without any word like "French bastards"), it'd be nice.

I've seen GWB's speech yesterday. If he ACTUALLY does what he said in his speech, then it will be great. But I'm not sure he will really do exactly what he said.

Amen wilow! Well said! (If not well thought out. ^^ )

Why can't we actually have more people like yourself in power instead of the numbskulls we have now? o.o?

I really hope so. Now that it has started, I hope it is as quick and painless as possible.

What is really important, though, is what will be done in Iraq after this is over. This is what will show the world (and the people of the US) what the true intentions were, of this administration, for going into Iraq with force.

The battles themselves become unimportant, in Vietnam, we lost the media war.

Can I have the 'references' you used about McNamara's interpretation of the war, Oni, I'm actually curious about this.

And as a note: 47,000 Americans killed merely to test out weapons? Oni, you are vastly oversimplifying the history of the Vietnam conflict.

Agreed, if you want to get technical the reason for our entry into Vietnam was fear of the Domino effect of Communism. Calling it a weapons test is simply incorrect, especially considering how poorly we were organized (Research the Tet offensive and be amazed).
