Shim - if you think Iraq is a place where the West can engage the terrorist you are living in a dream world, m8.

Iraq and Afghanistan has turned into a nightmare for the West - terrorists are systematically spreading fear into the people of those countries by assassinating newly appointed government officials or those who ally themselves with the West - and make the Western amries look weak and inept in front of the people they are there to protect.



Warbler - "*sigh* Is it really necessery to compare us with those the blow up subway stations and resturants and Hijack planes and fly them into building killing thousands of innocent people?"

As opposed to being compared to those (us - the West) who bomb cities and kill innocent civilians with bombs from planes at great heights?


Invading Afghanistan and Iraq seemingly has had little effect in stopping or breeding terrorism or hate of the west.

Iraq had very little to do with terrorism at all before the west invaded - I still don't understand why people link the invasion of Iraq to stopping terrorism and 9/11.

I feel the cold and am English - I too wear thick jackets even in the summer - let alone someone who may well be used to a much hotter climate.

Some witnesses have said the man appeared to have headphones (for music) on - he may not have heard the police. As they were plain clothed 'policemen' with guns would you not run if suddenly a group of men started chasing after you with guns drawn? I imagine the investigation into this terrible incident will give us more facts.

5 bullets in the head and torso? I doubt that if the police - or whoever they were, if suspecting that he may be carrying explosives on him wwould shoot him in the torso (and risk hitting a detonator or explosive).

British police do not a shoot to kill policy - it may not have been the police that shot him, even if it were then the police have the right to stop a situation if they think by doing so it will prevent injury or death to others (or themselves). It is NOT a shoot to kill policy.




Ric, m8 - imho 'The West' is only just beginning to pay for it's meddling into affairs which it should have stayed out of, not only years ago but recently too. Ironically there are possilby more insurgents and terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan now then there were before The West invaded - and the situation seems far from a conclusion one way or the other...

Title : Row47 Original Trilogy DVDr Set - based on Cowclops / TR47 v1 Set

This version is exactly the same set as the Cowclops / TR47 v1 set, EXCEPT each disc in the trilogy now has a basic title screen, and that the 2 errors - 4 blank seconds in ESB before the Leia welding scene, and a possible stutter during a scene where a speeder bike explodes in ROJ due to a large bitrate jump, have been corrected.

This version was completed by RowMan.

Time

A woman’s husband comes home hammered every night and she always yells at him before going to bed alone.

One day she decides to try some reverse psychology. When her husband staggers in that night, she’s waiting for him in her best lingerie. She sits him in an armchair and gives him a backrub.

“It’s getting late, big boy,” she says after a few minutes. “Why don’t we go upstairs to bed.”

“We might as well,” slurs the husband. “I’m going to be in trouble when I get home, anyway.”
