history is written by those in control. it doesnt make it true. the indians didnt want money, or to speak english, or be a christian. yet every western movie depicts them as head scalpers, raiders and murderers.

example. Winston Churchill the military journalist who went on to become prime minister in england, claimed he escaped after being caught in south africa by boer freedom fighters and swam through the mighty apies river. using this in turn to improve his stature in england, by writing a book about it, which undoubtedly made him reach his political goal.

fact is. the apies river has never in recorded rainfall history been deep enough, anywhere in its entire length, to consider swimming through, you can merely walk through, the water maybe reaching your knees at the best of times.

locals still joke about this, yet you cannot disparage this claim, as he was a hero in englands eyes.

he went on to later contribute to the concentration camps in south africa, which is still hushed and ignored, which were just as bad as auchwitz, though not in number, of the deaths of 26000 women and children, which about 13000 were children.by the neglect as they claim of camp officials, but this is felt otherwise.

as children dying of glass in their scarce rations, their mothers filtering through the food with their fingers, cuts evident, as to feed their children. hooks being found ripping their insides.

as unsavoury as this is, it is fact, yet this truth of this is not recognised by england. their stance remaining ignorant.
this is not an attack on the english people, as many tried to bring this to light in england, namely

and many other.
but the fact remains. ignorance is bliss. noone likes to talk about things like this. yes its easier to ignore. but it doesn’t make it untrue or any less real.

if some iraqi’s came to your country and took all you had, made you speak farsi, and convert to islam, wont you try to stop it? imagine how frustrated you’d feel if you were depicted as a murderer, for fighting for your land. history distorted to make their claim to your country fair, and in the end, water down all feelings of your claim to your country, by saying you couldnt manage it, and youre barbaric, and a heathen.

See how you feel now.

Greetings from south africa!

what you are saying is: “you can only post my opinion, otherwise you are an idiot”?

Then here is another opinion by another idiot:

The United Nations is about keeping the industrialised world in power.

Iran is not about proliferation, it’s about control of oil and gas, more specific about through which countries they have to be transported to get to the west.
Look at a map and then look at which country take (or don’t take) which actions.
Just look at how Poetin behaves towards Iran. He is delivering the means to create nuclear plants, and isn’t denying it. They will even deliver the plutonium.

I don’t by any means support him or think him any less of an idiot but I think that he’s got a lot of people pulling his strings behind the curtain.

Wow Sophia you are going to be a sucky ass parent! I feel for your children already.

BTW 9-11 is nothing compared to what we did to Japan, nor is it relevant. We have a very awesome defense system. Some know-it-all needs a history lesson!

I also find it interesting that Sophia mentioned sanctions as if she believes that those actually do anything. Thats the political equivalent to shaking a finger at a misbehaving child.

Look, eventually everyone who wants a nuclear weapon is going to have one, all it takes is the right connections and some money. The reason people don’t know what to do exactly when someone we fear acquires them is because this is something we’ve never really dealt with. This is going to be one of those live/die and learn things. Even if we take civil liberties of people in this country to try to counteract another “9/11″ that doesn’t ensure that we will be safe. All powers eventually fail and another will take over and the cycle continues until we’re all dead, get used to it. You may not like that we’ll lose the war but your responsibility is to make the decline of our lives as we know it today better for yourself and the people you love, not to hate someone who doesn’t see things the way you do.
