In a shout box it appears as 'Link' but if you click on that and then copy the address in the address bar it is the same thing. By the way you cannot paste into your comments boxes nor can you use 'end' or the 'arrows' keys. Bit strange. Is the Devil affectingthe Imp site? Do we have techno-demonisation occuring?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-83435870630912074762009-12-12T04:09:20.814-08:002009-12-12T04:09:20.814-08:00First of all thanks for all your comments, guys.
...First of all thanks for all your comments, guys.<br /><br />Harry, it’s really a question of determination. If this war has to be fought it should be fought with far less equivocation.<br /><br />Oh, dear, SD, you are asking me to commit myself on a sensitive political point! Well, I have little doubt that the greatest of all the presidents was Abraham Lincoln, closely followed by Andrew Jackson. And the greatest recent president? Oh, Ronald Regan achieved much but I have some residual affection for the much misunderstood Richard Nixon. :-)<br /><br />John, lots of good points. Obama is still all over the place on this issue, though.<br /><br />Ortho, I agree; the whole thing is a farce. We Europeans face a danger far closer to home than Afghanistan.<br /><br />Yes, Donald, it is necessary to defeat terrorism; it’s just that Obama is going about it in the wrong way. His delay in committing those extra troops, the indecision shown, may, as I have suggested, prove to be fatal.Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-65863472810511793432009-12-11T02:12:16.024-08:002009-12-11T02:12:16.024-08:00It is necessary to keep terrorists at bay, if we w...It is necessary to keep terrorists at bay, if we were not fighting them we would be at their mercy.<br />If the terrorist were man enough to fight in the open we could get it over with quicker with less loss of life but they are not, they would rather hide behind civilians, and try to blacken the name of our armed forces when some civilians suffer.<br />We are deterring them from gaining access to nuclear weapons too which if they laid their hands on would mean the end.Donald Swarbrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12599898195409972731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-39171321588534249492009-12-10T23:02:59.441-08:002009-12-10T23:02:59.441-08:00Mr Obama is the President of the United States of ...Mr Obama is the President of the United States of America; not of the "European's Utopia".He's at least a realistic American as they are...He rules the World for America and the higher good of the country!<br />European nations are alone to believe the world as a kindergarden.<br />I'm astonishing to see Britain sharing the dramatic and a stupid French's illusion and this "grotesque farce".Orthohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517853533318889765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-46473191331966653492009-12-10T20:27:17.600-08:002009-12-10T20:27:17.600-08:00I, somewhat predictably, take a different view whi...I, somewhat predictably, take a different view while agreeing he appears to be in a mess. In my viewpoint Obama is the typical not quite so far right of centre president that Americans have between the farther right of centre presidents they alternately vote into power. Both parties in America are as blue as you like and presidents always and above all else hold America's priorities as especially important in the world and these presidents, all of them, will kill and maim and dispossess anyone who stands in the way of America. There is little if any difference between George Bush and Obama outside America. <br /><br />Within America there will be some tax rises and a bit of social engineering and a shadow play with the environment that will actually favour the status quo and the setting up of a carbon energy market that will massively enrich Wall Street and Big Oil.<br /><br />Obama is right on Afhanistan from an American perspective. He will separate Al Queda, such as that organisation is and that is not much, from the Taliban in Pakistan and start negotiations with the Taliban for a deal that gives America the same kind of presence and control as in Iraq. That has always been the objective in my opinion and thereby whoever comes after Obama will do the same. From Iraq and Afghanistan the American military will administer through puppet regimes the oil and the access and shipment of oil via pipeline and threaten Iran and other middle eastern states from massive bases on foreign territory. Withdrawal will be to bases and will never be a complete exit anymore than they will leave South Korea or anywhere else they have set up shop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-75464770943596078332009-12-10T18:34:07.453-08:002009-12-10T18:34:07.453-08:00Who would you say is the greatest recent US Presid...Who would you say is the greatest recent US President and who is the greatest US President in history assuming they are not both the same.
