I'm not known for my muslim love (AHUM ) but in this one I'm 100% with the slug-man. Business can be good for a lot of countries if you sell to the highest bidder and don't care where it goes to ... money covers up a lot of wrong doings by hypocrits who do anything for wealth. The countries providing the arms, technology and know-how are just as guilty as the countries demanding this to finish off their evil plans. The rot is everywhere you see ... don't be blind to one side and only see the other. Both parties are as guilty as eachother. Unless the 2 parties on here can't see this (both Pete and the Slug f.e.) we are still VERY far from solving issues in this world or learning from our mistakes !!! Dismissing everything by saying it's the past will not teach us how to solve this in the future !! It's a pity that sometimes misplaced patriotism stands in the way of knowledge. And please don't give me grief on this, us Belgians are just as guilty and yes I know that ! finished

Lee, you're right, I'm a much more impassioned poster - I don't have as many detailed facts (I blame Sylvan High School and The Mirror!) although I think you'll find I do have a fair few facts on assylum seekers so I can defend myself on that one! Oh, and I cannot respect the opinions of a man who likes Quorn - it's the devil's work!!

Penge Eagle Beckenham 06 Mar 03 3.15pm
Quote Penge Eagle at 06 Mar 2003 1:16pm Great story by the Guardian, it's what good journalism is all about. BUT it (and very possibly Slug) implies Britain is the enemy (again) and not Thatcher who was evidently no angel. (I still haven't forgiven her for getting rid of my milk when I was at school. ). It's another piece of history brought out to make us all feel guilty about being British. But why should we keep apologising for misdemenours by past governments etc right back to the colonial days. I don't think any country is perfect but it just seems by the threads on here that only USA, Israel and Britain are the b****s!! Like my above post said, I'm not stupid enough enough to think Britain is perfect because it isn't and it has done some terible things in the past. I think it's disgraceful to sell weapons/gas chambers etc but at least we get to know where they are now. I don't disagree with the Guardian article and think it's good to have some balanced reporting in the media - especially during wars. I applaud Slug for posting it because it does make interesting reading. But** I'd like to see some balance. Let's have some articles about double standards in other countries not the three I mentioned above so people can't accuse posters of being anti-British!
