I leave this thread for an hour and all hell breaks loose! Look, we each have our opinions on how things should be. Bottom line is none of us can control what is happening in the world. All this was is a debate of ideas, at least for me. Please don't let it get personal.

I've always found it amusing that Brits use the euphemism "troubles" for what they did to Northern Ireland.

Indeed. We are certainly good at euphemistic expressions

Its not personal for me either - seems Mr Charles can't keep his temper.

i'm not sadistic and you are making one large leap in logic by stating such. what i've been saying is this - we will not win against terrorists if we insist on giving them rights to this and that. such can only be won one way. and yours is not the way to do it. and btw, i've also taken the liberty of reporting you for calling me a "sadist" that is "shameful and entirely distasteful, as well as being morally and ethically bankrupt."

have a nice day.

Well lets be fair - leaps of logic via strong emotion seem to be more your forte. Neither was I the one who started with the personal attacks.

As I said, there's no debate if you can't discuss the merits of the ideas raised without resorting to blind hysteria.

I'm still wondering where you got the idea I blame Bush for "Everything". In the issues under discussion, I've tried to keep the focus quite firmly on topic - Iraq in one thread, The ethicality of torturing terrorist suspects in the other.
