How is it nonsense? The leaders are 'fans of totalitarionism' and anyone with them is thus a 'fellow traveller' with 'fans of totalitarionism'

And why hasn't the US invaded all the other countries in this world, such as, say the Democratic Republic of the Congo which are run by mass murderers? Surely it couldn't be because they don't have any oil?
Answering a question with another question is not an answer...

Obviously he never watched Rory Bremner's "Between Iraq and a Hard Place" where, for instance, it pointed out how Winston Churchill proposed the use of gas bombs and chemical warfare against the people who lived in what is now called Iraq...
'Proposed'? So he didn't actually do it then? Saddam did.

Sorry, didn't someone just say that London was "most likely" to be a terrorist target? Why should we be a target if not for the fact that TB is seen as Bush's poodle and jumps whenever he whistles?
True. We were probably less of a target before if only for the fact that we let so many terrorist types live here!



Quote:
When someone says "you're either with us or against us" and other such things, are they *really* "fighting for freedom" or trying to dictate to everyone else how they should run their affairs??
Perhaps sometimes telling people/countries how to run their affairs negates the need for greater more forceful action later on.

Yes, we are all guilty of doing things like that at times
