does FR have a German chapter? :)

[squirt-gun]

Europe in general, and France and Germany in particular, are heading for oblivion.

Germany purged itself of militant nationalism after WWII but in the process purged itself of rational thought as well.

A nation that gave the world so much of the arts, science, and literature had gotten emeshed in the hell of Naziism...and coming out of this mess emerged as just a pathetic socialistic wreck.

Opponents of the US-led invasion of Iraq nearly came to blows in Berlin Saturday with pro-US demonstrators accusing them of supporting "terrorism" and tolerating Saddam Hussein.

Must be a mistranslation for "pointing out that they were in fact."

Sami Ramadani, an Iraqi sociologist exiled to London in 1979, told the conference there were daily acts of resistance to the American presence in Iraq, but only terrorist acts made headlines.

"If somebody kills your father or your brother, it's normal to take up arms," said Ramadani, an opponent of both Saddam and the US presence.

He said the way to get rid of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party regime was not American intervention.

I wonder if Mr. Ramadani realizes that when he had the chance to stand-up for Iraq, and against Saddam, he ran to Britain. So I wonder exactly what the alternatives to the invasion were when Iraqi-patriots aren't willing to hang tough?

über Zeit sprach jemand oben. These folks must be freinds or relatives of a lot of the German soldiers that have vocalized support to our troops over there. A lot of these soldiers have saluted our troops every time they come across one who is wearing an Iraqi Freedom badge. They have been doing this in direct violation of orders not to salute.

"The US has its own political and strategic agenda to dominate the region, they have only brought instability."

Leftists love to praise "stability." It's a code for supporting dictators like Saddam, whose governments are often very "stable."

We don't hate the Americans and we condemn suicide bombings against civilians, but we believe the resistance (against US forces) is legitimate," said conference organiser Barbara Fuchs, a member of the anti-globalisation movement Attac

I wish someone would make it clear to the inept thinkers and state simply:

"Either you are with us, or you are against us".

"Iraqis are not idiots."

Sometimes braindead libs are just too easy! Now how did they say they would have ended Saddamn's torture and rape rooms???

Let's end the occupation of Germany!!

Pray for W and Our Freedom Marching Troops

"If somebody kills your father or your brother, it's normal to take up arms."

So how many millions of people lost a father, or mother, or child, etc under Saddam? These folks should be fighting the terrorists.

"We don't hate the Americans and we condemn suicide bombings against civilians, but we believe the resistance (against US forces) is legitimate,"


That comment makes no sense. They condemn the suicide bombings that are the very same "resistance" they support?

[CyberAnt]

"we believe the resistance is legitimate"

How can a person with a brain believe that ..?? It boggles the mind. Everytime we arrest these people - they are from several other different countries - they're not Iraqis.

But .. these people come to the table with a grudge against us in the first place which makes feeding them disinformation so easy.

I think Europe is in real trouble - France alone has a 10% Muslim population - we only have 1-2%.

The Muslims in the UK are a huge force also. This is going to get ugly.

[cripplecreek]

"This is going to get ugly."


Yes it is. Unfortunately we're going to return to Europe in the liberator role at some point in the future. I know plenty of folks will say "screw europe" but realistically we can't afford to allow an islamic europe any more than we could afford a nazi europe.

[Dallas59]

HA! HA! HA! Idiots, They aren't even envolved with Iraq. I wonder what kind of "blows" the Germs will come to when they debate whether or not to become an Islamic State?

[CyberAnt]

Maybe thru NATO.

"We need time." he said. "When we no longer need the Americans, we'll push them over the border."

uh...yeah right. We'll leave when we're damn good and ready and not before. We might even decide to build a base or two. Ungrateful Iraqi scum...

[bert]

...20 people demonstrated against the conference...

When we no longer need the Americans, we'll push them over the border."

We are currently in favor of pushing them into Syria, but it may be more beneficial for us to push them into Iran. Its too early to tell.
