I don't really know either, it's a complicated situation:confused: Mike

There were a whole host of reasons why he wasn't removed from power in 91 (fear that someone smarter but just as dangerous would take over, fear that Iran would use the void of power to seize Iraqi territory, etc etc). That's why attempts to assassinate him were stopped (better the devil you...

Hmm I thought I made a few points there, possibly they weren't very relevant but here goes... I reckon do have a good knowledge of the north...after all I've had to study it for college for the past etc.. I'm not sure what your issue is with my comments...I never said there wasn't more to the...

Hmm where to start? Ok, first, I do think the PSNI is fundamentally different from the RUC. Second, I have issues with the ethnic cleansing comment. Ethnic cleansing?? Do these people actually understand what this means? I don't think theres ever been any ethnic cleansing in the north...

Just a personal thing I have I guess, I really don't want my name on a list that includes people like that. Not that I'm saying everyone who signs it is or anything... Mike

Though I agree that what's happening there is terrible I won't sign the petition. A quick glance at some of the signatures will tell you why "Johnny Murphy St. Louis, MO USA RUC/PSNI......Nothing has changed " "Davie McCartney glasgow scotland RUC/PSNI Different name same police brutality...

Though apparently there have been Kurdish Prime Ministers in Turkey (I wasn't aware of this at all, nor was I aware that there even was an Iraqi "Kurdistan"). Turkey officially denies that Kurds even exist even though "The Kurdisk population is estimated to be about 30 million people living in...

I still don't believe that the US administration at...

Youch. I usually lurk, but I decided to post in response to that. The people of Iraq (at least some of them) did attempt to rise up against him, under the illusion that the US was going to go all the way, and remove Saddam. For pretty obvious reasons (the vacuum of power that would be created -...

Well he was good with Cream, but I dont think he was the driving influence, Jack Bruce was. I love anything he did with Dominoes, pity that didnt last longer. But his album with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers is superb! I love his playing on it and I dont think he ever really equalled it. His new...

All I'm gonna say is...that truly sucks...I am sorry to see you go...and you will be missed Well thanks for all the laughs we've had in chat Have a drink on me (not kommissar though ) Mike

Is it good to be a nugget? Not if you're the macdonalds variety I guess....but otherwise?

Gadzooks but its getting harder and harder to get an angry response nowadays. People are just so...understanding and logical... Hey any yanks who bought tickets for slane and aren't going....I know who you are...I will find you.... Mike

I must agree with the great man. I find so many u2 fans annoy the hell out of me...eg "boo hoo I saw 16 shows and at the 16th I didn't get into the heart waaahhh". Get over it. And as for all you obnoxious plonkers who can't take a joke...oh man don't get me started! Though I was always ashamed...
