OK, people, still like Bush now?
Well.. actually, I'm Australian, so if we want to talk about getting
attacked there was Bali.. I'm also British, so if we want to talk about getting attacked we can talk IRA.. And they didn't start the war. They attacked you for a reason. Why do you think they picked the US? Maybe it would be a good idea to find out that reason and see if you can do something about it, rather than just infuriate them even more by bombing the hell out of them.. I would say a good place to start would be getting your nose completely out of the middle east.. a place you certainly do not belong..

Look dumb****, the word is "Meddle" repeat after me. Actually you don't seem left wing, I think the word is moronic not to mention meddlesome (see I'm using a derivative), prejudiced, sanctimonius and a few others. Now see if you can follow me here, you didn't get attacked by the middle east terrorists, we did. They started the war. We're going to finish it. That's it. Whether you like it or not. Rather than working yourself into a lather about that, get a therapeutic hobby like beating off in front of a picture of Trotsky. |

When you're the most powerful nation in the world, you don't need backing from the rest of the world. And when you're a strong supporter of that nation, you don't either. So UK (along with Spain, Australia, Poland, and others) is in pretty good shape if they need to protect *their* interests. Only pitiful, weak, little countries like France, It is a matter of opinion about the good and bad about France's Foreign Policy and role in the EU. However, any country that has Sea launch ballistic solid fuel missles with nuclear warheads on submarines, it is pretty much a ticket to destroy the world at a country's leisure if the country and its leadership decides that it wants to do. The US, Russia, UK, France have that capability. China have liquid fuel Sea Launch missles, which is a little more difficult to destroy the world at one's whim, but still possible. France may be called many names, and their role in world and economic affairs will always be questioned, but I can assure you they are not a weak little country. Sea launch nuclear missles ballistic missles have one purpose, to destroy cities. If a "rogue" nation would have the capacity as the Big 5 nations, it would not be tolerated, because it such a deadly and difficult threat to take out. However, in skiing terms, France is IMHO a superpower, From La Grave to Mt.Blanc, Alpine Guides training are still set by French Standards, the Creme de la Creme are not recognize unless they spend some time at Chamonix. There are so many words use in skiing that are French, from "piste" to "couloir" etc. etc. I suggest one should start using other words to substitute the french version, such as "freedom chutes" instead of couloirs, "freedom runs" instead of "piste" and "liberty skiing" rather than "randonee". I think there should be a debate about what North American Country is the Skiing superpower, my vote at this moment is Canada has an edge over the U.S, but then again, I haven't skied around Valdez yet, so i don't have all the facts..

The only thing that surprises me is that you don't blame us for the IRA. Americans where their main source of funds. -- Chris *:-) Downhill Good, Uphill BAD! www.suffolkvikings.org.uk |

Due to their relatively short flight time, and low trajectory from launch to impact, SLBM's are exceptionally well suited for use during the early stage of a nuclear attack. For example, SLBM DGZ's within the US would surly include our early warning systems such as Cobra Dane, BMEWS, Pave Paws, and, any of the bomber force that wasn't able to "launch under attack". That's why during the cold war most of the SAC alert bomber force was stationed in the middle of the CONUS...as far away from coastal waters (and Soviet boomers) as possible. -Astro, SAC Trained Killer. |

If a "rogue" nation would have the capacity as the Big 5 nations, it would not be tolerated, because it such a deadly and difficult threat to take out. Well the ability to destroy the world is one thing. Enough powerful, responsible nations have that ability and nuclear strikes are unlikely from those powers, including France. That power is a deterant and not likely to be used to settle a border skirmish. As far as the US, "we" have overwhelming conventional power and don't need to use it. The danger now is from a "non-nation" acting as a secret agent for an impotent (on a world scale) rogue nation. However, in skiing terms, France is IMHO a superpower, From La Grave to Mt.Blanc, Alpine Guides training are still set by French Standards, the Creme de la Creme are not recognize unless they spend some time at Chamonix.

Ted And what N. American Country has kept Europe free so that when you want to ski Mt. Blanc it's not part of Germany or , more recently the USSR or, even more recently a fundamentalist Muslim nation? |

We've gotten used to being damned when we do and damned when we don't. So I'll admit you have me there. Either scerio give you a chance to say we were either too early or too late. Not much I can do about a simpleton that takes that route. We were supplying UK long before Pearl Harbor fyi. |
