"You could have seen this coming a mile away..."

A while ago I read about a group of Iraqi asylum seekers who had attacked four royal marines whilst they were returning to their barracks.
One of the iraqis pulled out a knife and stabbed one of the marines, so the another marines obviously try to defend their mate who had just been stabbed.

The marines were holding a *kit sale* that day and this was to auction off for charity their dead mates stuff (he had died in a copter crash in Iraq).
Anyways one of the Asylum seekers has put in a complaint against a marine because the marine had assaulted him - even though he was part of the group that had ambushed the marines and he had been arrested two days before for carrying a knife.
What SHOULD happened is the Iraqis should be kicked out the country straight away and the complaint against the marine dropped. What WILL happen is the Iraqi will get a few grand for all the distress that has occured to him and the marine will proberbly be up for a court Martial.

We will have to wait and see what happens.

Heheheh.

What? If one person is making all the decisions things get accomplished a lot faster it's a fact. I was asked to name a pro of Distatorship and I did.

As for me not having any links it doesn't mean I don't have any proof of these statistics. I get them from news papers and TV like CNN so if you go to the CNN website or the Daily Mail etc I'm sure they'll have an archive of past articles with the facts.

So you make a blinkered, prejudiced, ignorant and just plain dumba$$ statement claiming that you're basing it on statistics and facts and then you state you don't have any.

You my friend, are a t**t.

Where exactly does their religion say that?

I was of the impression their religion asserts the view "If a foreign invader tries to claim your land, you should defend yourself and oppose them"

Which is what they're doing. If it's a war of liberation, why is there continued occupation? Surely that's invasion rather than liberation.
I find it incredible to believe that people like you actually exist. Keep reading the Mail will you?

Cubist, you twit.

I wonder how much of it is tied up with the arms trade?

The plus side is things get acomplished. A single voice speaking for the entire country could achieve a lot more in a much shorter time than hundreds of voices bickering until they reach a compromise. Unfortunately dictators abuse their powers, can't always please everyone and end up being killed by Brits and Americans who think they can police the world when really they should focuse on the problems in their own countries before sending our armies to Afghanistan etc to help others.

Nice uniforms though, eh Memo? :D

I fail to see the "plus side" of dictatorship. Only the people in power really gain anything from it. The majority, or even a minority, of people are oppressed by it.
