Always keep a fight going somewhere, best training ever!

You think this is right? As others said it is the governments we don't like. In UK their democracy probably didn't give them much options anyways. But in USA I just can't understand how American people voted for Bush ... twice! Doesn't this mean that those that voted for him also have a share of responsibility for their government's actions?

Well Soto
I voted for Bush both times. And I still think he is the best president we had in a long time.
Like him or not. He does what he says and has not been worried about bull from anyone. The man has balls. Period.

Someday history will show what the liberals are trying to change.
Let's not forget that when he was elected he never wanted to be involved in international crap. Then Sept 11 came. That changed everything.
He did what was best for the USA. Like any president would had for his country.

Was it good for the rest of the world? I think the world is better without Saddam. Was intelligence correct? Time will tell. Let's not forget that even Clinton supported the war, and did say there where information of WMD's during his presidency also. If Saddam had nothing to hide then he should had let the UN inspectors do their job. That or his big mouth was too big.

We whine about UN not implying the UN resolutions against Turkey. There where resolutions against Iraq also. The US has the power to enforce the resolutions the UN did not have the balls to. So they did. Wouldn't Cyprus do the same if we had the power? Please don t tell me no.

Anyway. If any president was in Bush's shoes would had done the same.

Well one can also argue that the US had the power to stop what happened in Cyprus but instead they provided the Turks wit the weapons they used to kill us. I mean you cant use human rights when it's convenient and forget them when you dont care. But anyway, I also do believe that Bush is a good president for his country. Sure he does stuff people dont like. But thats why he is the president. If people dont like him maybe they should get out there and vote, or support him. You cant whine and do nothing about it.

I know Andri.
But keep this in mind. Cyprus in 1973 was talking to mother Russia. My gun in the military was a "Kalaznicof"!!!!!

Makarios refused to allow the USA to build bases when they offered. For a pretty penny then. We would had been looking at a pound on the ground and would not want to pick it up like we do not look for a penny.

Kissinger called Makario the Castro of the Mediterennia

The way I see it. The US could not affort to have USSR in Cyprus. Period.

Was it right what happened? Well for us the Greek Cypriots definetly was not. For the USA it sure made sence. Losing Cyprus to USSR was as bad if not worse than having Cuba against the USA. At least Cuba was close to us. Losing Cyprus meant giving the USSR access to the meditteranian which they did not have.

Let's not forget. Cyprus was ALWAYS a strategic place. And always will be.

The USA has to look after it's own ass first. Like any country would. And now that I live here I understand things more.

From the outside, every country wants the USA to look for their own individual interests. It will not happen. To many interests involved to make the whole picture.

Yes trust me. There is nothing more I like to see than peace. Put peace has its price. Doesn't it?

No one complaint when the USA got involved with WWII. The French, Greeks etc etc would be speaking German now. And the EU would had been formed back then. It would had not been called EU though. It would had been Germany!!!!!!!!!!!!

So. Enough is enough I guess.

What's the saying? "If you can not beat them join them?"

[Leonidas]

Maaaaaaan
I knew I should had spelled checked my last post.
Oh well. I m not mr grammar.

[bigfatlondonboy]

oi stop hijacking the thread and thanks to those who answered.
ps i hate bliar he is just a lap dog for the fool that is bush..

[tcklim]

Uhhh sorry, could you please tell me how Bush has helped the U.S or the World in any conceivable way? The economy has suffered drastically under his leadership and suffering a huge deficit, in sharp contract to the way Clinton left it.

The world security situation has become much much much much much worse under his policies of invasion. Muslim resentment and hatred at the United States and its allies has never been so high. The Palestinian conflict has no end in sight. ...

Absolutely everybody could see the intelligence against Iraqi WMD's was flawed, except those living in the states who have access to the media that is largely dumbed-down. The U.N inspectors urged the U.S to wait, there was no clear evidence! The report claiming they bought whatever canisters from libya was completely flawed, bush new that before, this has all been reported and documented.

Let's not forget the mess that was Katrina, the thousands of lives lost, his sale of U.S port control to the U.A.E etc.

What exactly has Bush done for the benefit of the country? Curious

[andri_cy]

Oh yes I am sure Bush, is responsible for hurricanes coming now too.

[TheCabbie]

OK PEOPLE HERE WE GO .SOME OF YOU ON HERE ARE DEAD AGAINST THE BASES.BUT WHAT ARE YOUR FEELING TOWARDS THE BRITS THAT MOVE TO SOUTHERN CYPRUS.TO LIVE.JUST ASKIN AND PLEASE DONT GET TO SHITTY WITH EACH OTHER NOW...

Based on having lived here for 14 years....

The feelings are mostly one of "lets see how much I can overcharge him for this" to "if i'm nice to him I maybe able to screw his Mrs" occasionally rising to blaming Britain for all that's screwed up in Cyprus.

None of which is anything to worry about as long as you can dish it back... I'm not slow in telling somebody to go and fuck themselves if they try and rip me off, and have invited a couple of gobby bastards to have more than a chat in a car park but that's a rare occurance, the best part is that married Cypriot women can be soooo dirty in bed

Basically it's just like anywhere else in the world...

I m sure he is Andri. LOL. Just ask the liberals of the world.

I doubt ANY president in the world had dealt with as many major national and international issues as he has.

It would be nice if people at least gave him some credit for that. No one is perfect. He is doing his best. At least he is doing something.

The media does no justice to what is going on in Iraq. My nephew who just got back after he was badly injured from a bomb blast, was upset hearing the picture the news media tries to draw. It is so wrong to do that, just to make news or make Bush look bad.

If he could recover from his injuries he would go back. Unfortunately his injuries will not allow him to serve his country.

These are true stories not News making ones. The things he told us are so different than what the liberal media shows us.
