26/M / Far enough away from US friendly fire ....... ( always wondered why the put instructions on US weapons..should put targets too....)
French..................!!! I have some integrity, France sells weapons to Iraq, refuse to fight in the war with the UN and then complains when all the contracts to rebuild Iraq are committed from France.
Code Blue.... guess you're not a lover of the Democratic system....not to worry, neither were many of the Dictators of the world who wanted to rule instead of letting the people decide. :Hangman:
Let me see if I understood. You don't like the french because they sold weapons to Iraq? Just out of curiosity, did you know that the USA trained and gave (yes the word is gave) weapons to both Iraq and Osama Bin Laden? Edit: mispelled the word "see"
youre right yceman...now were mopping up our mess and taking care of what should have been 14 years ago...Nothing against the French as a people but their government tends to cause problems and let other fix them. Surprised they're still a country.. :smt017 Maybe the U.S. can save them when theyre in trouble....they will be in trouble someday from riding the fence.
Technically, we have helped save the French in both World Wars... However, I think it's rather unfair to dog on the French for refusing to support our little escapade in Iraq - no foreign country is under any obligation to do anything of that sort for the US, and I really think all the "France sucks, ha ha" sentiment that has popped up with all this war crap going on is very out of line :axe: . Not directed at anyone here, specifically, just a point.
This is starting to go a little off topic folks. No country bashing please, no country is truely perfect.
Indded, stick to the topic please, if you wish to discuss these matters then please to so in private chats and not on this board/topic
seeing the recent 2 - 3 year events in world politics, I found what you said up there its a bit too hard to swallow :smt022 *sigh* its hard to have a peaceful world, maybe we can start by being peaceful at this board.. shall we. :smt023
23/M/USA The three things you should never bring up on a message board if you want it flame free are race, religion, and politics.
My country is full of morons 27/Man/Glorious Los Angeles, in sunny Southern California, the greatest ciy in the world. Unless you live here. And to whoever baggeg on the French becasue they actually listened to what thier people wanted: It's called Democracy, you know, like our country used to be.
