now go back to the story and substitute, the allied forces for the group of strong guys, saddam huessain/ iraq for the offender, the iraqi people and surrounding countries for the woman, and france germany etc... fpor the people walking by.

Was just wanting to see what you thought in different situations that r on alot smaller scale but not too different. maybe get you thinking a bit more about why we went to war.

if thats the case then the rest of the world should have "called the police" or "involve themselves" to get you out of the iraq...

but they didn't and it took someone to finally turn round and say tell u what we're not going to let this happen anymore.

i was talking about getting the UK and the US troops out of the iraq because they had no right to be there in the first place. just as nobody has a right to attack a woman on the streets

Why choose a country where they do have education to a university standard & ignore one where 6-7 million people are on the brink?

I take it you haven't seen the 6-7 million people on their deathbeds due to the actions of their dictator?

No - all it does is highlight the hyprocisy of saying its about liberation & ignoring a country that is in far more dire need.
