    Is paranoia the new term for "painting yourself into a corner"? It is more succinct, I'll give it that.

    Read Barb's post again. I still see no reason for your postulation. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

    As for vid's comment, it had nothing to do with my post. I thought I was crystal clear when I said, "I was responding to Barbs comment.". But I guess you missed that point as well.

    Actually it was to do with your spoiler. Pictures of 911, so my question is
    what did Iraq have to do with 911?

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Not much. I never said it did, nor was I insinuating it did.

    Again,

    I was merely replying to Barb's comment, "Your government is paranoid that there are people in some parts of the world that don't like them so much that they are prepared to tell people to crash your aeroplanes into your tall buildings.". - meaning that it is not just paranoia, but that it is happening.

    Ok, skizo, I'll try this in really big letters, maybe you can follow that way.

    Barb says:

    Your government is paranoid that there are people in some parts of the world that don't like them so much that they are prepared to tell people to crash your aeroplanes into your tall buildings.

    Therefore they are sending your young soldiers over to those places, to improve relations between your people and their people.
    You go:

    Yes, you're right, it's just paranoia.
    And then you post pics from 9/11.

    Then vid says:

    what did Iraq have to do with 911?
    Now, last I checked, it wasn't Iraq flying planes into tall buildings....
    Yet, somehow, the war in Iraq has come to be about terrorism/911 (can't bloody well be about WMDs since there are none) and Bush does have a tendency of linking the two.

    Therefore, it can be said, as Barb does, that young americans are being sent to their death because people in high places are paranoid about people in various places where the US isn't popular instigating terrorist attacks, because , hey, they did in another place.

    Thus proving the old adage that "just because you are paranoid it doesn't mean that they are not out to get you".

    Whether the wars were the most appropriate or indeed most sensible response is another matter altogether.

    Edit: Feck Snny can type fast

    IMO America wants Iraq as a buffer zone between Iran and Israel. They tried first by arming Saddam during the Iran- Iraq war. That did not work so they try to instal a democracy*, by force. That is not going to work. I honestly dont know what they will try next. As I say IMO it has nothing to do with terrorism.

    * democracy; where Governments are elected by the people to represent themselves.

    @ Les! It is Halloween time and Snny has a Swede ish keyboard.
