Speaking of Mexico, there have been records of Mexican officials encouraging mass illegal immigration (invasion) to the US... but that's okay, because it's against the US right?
A problem often faced in these discussions is a misunderstanding of the true Islamic goal - world domination. Now, your average Muslim next door to you in Hampshire will most likely not voice or even agree with such sentiments.
But the movers and shakers in the Islamic world want nothing less than total domination and death or oppression of every one who objects... even other Muslims.
It is not political, it is not about anything to do with Iraq, it is about Muslims wanting to kill or oppress Christians and Jews and moderate Muslims.
So any Islamic government with nuclear capability will ultimately become a threat. It is a sad fact. And either they deal with us or we have to deal with them. If we strike first we are wrong, if they strike us first then I am sure all the lovey-dovey peace-loving posters will join in with the jeers that drive Bush and Blair out of government. If they strike first, well, potentially the Baptist Board membership would be permanently pruned...
Now here is my rant: What gets me is all the pictures posted of suffering as if it only ever happens when the Americans or British act militarily. Ask the families of the many tens of thousands that Saddam murdered, ask the many thousands who were wrongly imprisoned, ask the girls and the families of young girls who were abused by Saddam's sadistic son. Yes, the US and UK has brought death and suffering, but they did not invent nor master the art of suffering and death.
By the way Matt, I am originally from Newbury, Berkshire (though I no longer live there) and have lots of friends in Hampshire... great part of England.
I disagree with you, but you live in a nice and varied county!
