Removing my posts because my views are “liberal melodrama” proves your “Democratic” ideals. Time to burn some books too!
Goodbye and good luck. |

But every country has. Good army reduces risk to fall a victim to someone's aggression. The better army is the less risk. But you’re right. The squadron of Su's is extremely not enough. Chavez has to buy more weapon. This is an old world tradition – every country must have its armed forces.

Every nation should have a military. I just abhor Mr Chavez and his brand of politics - particularly how he has attempted to influence matters in the US. Not to mention that whole military coup thing he was part of...

OK I got it “vital interests”. Convert “vital interests” to “national security” and bingo, you have the main ingredients to “solve the worlds problems, bring democracy, liberate, defend our way of life” and whatever other catch phrase you can come up with. We bombed Serbia to the stone-age to avert genocide, right? Lets be realistic things are not black and white and although a may be “naïve” I wonder why our interests wouldn’t, couldn’t and shouldn’t coincide with those of the Chinese, French, Russian and others and why they do with Canada’s, England’s etc. Maybe it is so because we want them to coincide and we work to keep them that way, I say maybe, who knows? | I beg to differ, Iraq had a major part to do with our national security. But then again I dont believe everything that the liberal fools want us to believe. I served in Iraq and am damn proud of it.
Do you think we been making friends around the world in the last 5-6 years? (OK I know you’re thinking “who gives a sh…t”). But do you think we can take everybody on and for how long? I am old enough to remember that Castro came to the US for help first, then went to China then to USSR. Maybe, again, our “vital interests, our way of life” pushed people to become communists and now we push them to become terrorists. I, for one, am afraid for the future of my kids and beyond. What kind of world are we going to leave behind for them? Quote: |

It is not they forgive us, but rather they realize how foolish the NS regime was and what it did for there country.
Dont tell me I dont know what I am talking about either. I was born and raised in Germany... Quote: |

I really hope I am just missunderstanding you because if so then you probably believe that Germans drive around in horse drawn carts like many Americans believe before they come to Germany.

Country: | Who outside of Venezuela or other dictator type people could care for Chavez anyway. By Chavez comments he obviously is not a very bright man and is not going to get to far in the international community.
The only thing he has been able to do is make friends with that Iranian President prick what ever his name is. Both are idiots, so it does not matter.

| Looks that Mr Chavez won the Time contest for 'man of the year 2006'
But apparently Time disregarded the pool results and gave the award to a less embarassing 'you'...
It is interesting anyway that so many people choosed Chavez. TIME.com - Person of the Year Preview 2006 - Who Will It Be?
To see the pool results, follow the link and vote for any candidate. The global result will appear, and HC leads with 36%
This link was removed from Time homepage, I stepped by accident in a blog that traced it back.

Country: | I can not believe that Chavez is winning that. But then again Hitler was chosen as Time Man of the Year in 1938.
