We have no problem with the British people. We have no problem with any kind of people.

Our problem is with the policies of some governments and with the illegal actions of some individuals (no matter were those individuals come from).

The bases were given to the UK as part of the treaty of guarantee were the UK along with Greece and Turkey were supposed to "guarantee the independence, territorial integrity and security of the Republic of Cyprus".

Now when the UK (government) not only didn't act according to the treaty but they also seem to favor the Turks and the occupation, you can understand why Greek Cypriots are so against the bases. We feel cheated by the UK (to say the least). If they don't want to act in accordance to that treaty then they should decline their guarantor position and return the bases to Republic of Cyprus.

But I repeat: This has nothing to do with the British people. I just hope that the British people will understand that the policies of UK/US governments around the world are often not fair ones and they should demand from their governments a fair foreign policy.

I reckon that british people are tip top fantastic people but that their government is a bit of a colonialist bully.

I think the way to think of it is that you can't blame them because their governed by bLIAR

Every successful politician always picks or welcomes a fight to prove their integrity and strength, sometimes it works , sometimes it doesn't. I'll start in 1939,
Winston Churchill Germany
Anthony Eden Suez/Korea
Margaret Thatcher Falklands
Tony Blair Iraq 2003

Unfortunately, Britain can punch above its weight, its armed forces are small but highly effective, mostly due to its unconscripted recruits citing their more favourite pastime as getting into a well organised punch up as part of their recreational weekend entertainment. As the Duke of Wellington remarked as he looked at the motley British regiments strung across the hillside at Waterloo, " They may not scare the French, but by God, they scare me!"

Blair is here today, gone tomorrow. The next PM will pick a fight somewhere to keep our forces up to speed, its a Brit thing, soldiers kept locked up in barracks are crap at fighting, thats the secret. Always keep a fight going somewhere, best training ever!

your point?

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?

I dont like bush but I will say one thing. I dont know about the previous election, but at the last one he was the best of 2 evils. John Kerry was for the war in Iraq one minute against the other, didnt know what the hell was going on, was a coward marionette of the wrost kind. and no I didnt vote because I am not changing my citizenship.
