    @Arkanoid

    First, that wasn't a good way to speak generally. This is a MorphOS forum, not a forum about politics, and Americans and Iraqis etc. I don't think that what you wrote you believed them. Yes, everybody hates America, but that doesn't mean the simple citizens, or even the soldiers in the army. They just take orders and nothing more. And yes, we don't like the America government, and how they are handling different issues, but this is another story to discuss.

    @ Acill

    Don't forget Acill. Who made these Taliban people evil. Or even these Iraqi people evil as you say. Have you ever realised why you risk your life for? Because of what? Of some idiots that they control USA? C'mon, be serious. It's like communism. We are the "good" guys, the bosses of the entire earth, and all the others are the "bad" guys. So we must make wars, so everybody sees that USA is the boss around the globe.

    hopefully you won't get killed over there but, to tell you the truth, I wouldn't have much sympathy if you returned home in a body-bag. You're fighting a bogus/unnecessary war sponsored and engineered by corporate-America (like so many American lead wars of the past). If you haven't realized this by now then you surely deserve whatever misfortune you come accross over there; due to your own stupidity.
    WHAT!!!

    listen Arkanoid, I hate this dumb war, but the ones to blame for that are the a$$holes in the white house - NOT the troops.

    Please don't confuse policy makers for professional soldiers - Who Don't make Policy

    I didn't vote for the current Moron-In-Chief, but as Im not a barabrian I'm not going to kill people to force my views on the rest of the world.

    I have been working for education and rational thinking, however. And I hope more Americans realize they need to vote for intelligent people who have actually read the Constitution.

    I hope Everyone in the middle east is well and those that are visiting, return home safely.

    And soon

    @ Arkanoid

    You said: "aPEX: the fact that you can't even spell Iraq makes me question why you would even express your ignorant opinion in public."

    Well, I must say that you are at least as ignorant as you said aPEX is.

    In many European countries the correct spelling is Irak and not Iraq. In neolatin languages the "q" is only used before a "u" and cannot exist as the last letter of a word.

    Please note that this comment is completely independent from your opinions and aPEX opinions. This is the last place in the world where I would discuss political subjects.

    Good luck and make the best of it. Would be nice if you'd be able to stay in touch, hope to see you posting.

    ps. Don't get mad at or react to ppl that spout their misplaced views (misplaced as in: this thread).

    @thread

    Let's behave ok? This thread isn't about politics but about Acill saying goodbye.

    The people in the USA should recognise that the big evil is sitting in the white house. They should blow up the white house and the whole weapons lobby that like to play war... yes, I hate the bush. :-)

    Sorry, but this is my point of view, living in OLD EUROPE!


    PS: I would never say something against the troops, they are just working for the wrong people, that take not care of lives, just looking for money and the next big weapon deal.

    I fully share the view of aPEX.
    The whole war in the middle east is pointless.
    Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity.

    Why there is no one in birma? Cause there is no oil?
    Anyway, its ok to help other people in foreign country.

    Anyway, first i think about the people i know and like,
    and that you acill.

    No matter what u are doing there acill,
    i wish you the best and hope u get home save!!!!
    Please take care of urself.

    May the Holy Virgin Mary and all the Saints bless you and keep you safe!

    And when in Afghanistan don't pick transistor radios laying on the ground... It could be a booby trap!
