    I think its a tenuous link to our involvement in Iraq.

    At the time I thought it was right.

    Now I am not so sure.

    But given that we were involved, we now how it to Iraq to support their efforst towards democracy.

    It might not be pallatable, ebut nevertheless, there it is.

    Democracy, or their version of it or radicalism.

    Not much of a choice, is it?

    perhaps if Churchill was beaten,
    and Germany won,

    then Argentina would now be a German colony perhaps..lol.

    “You mean a German colony full of Angla-Saxons speaking a germanic language?”

    Such racism.......why do you peoples hate the whiteman so much and display such racism? Obviously people that display racism.....caucasians and indians alike only show there ignorance that manifests from their overt or deep root covert feelings of inferiority. If I thought a second thought of you stevie I would feel sorry for you, however you personally are beyond insignificant and fortunately do not represent the pulse of the SA people.
    Stay where you are in the comforts of SA.

    Again, “English” is not an insult, regardless the common opinion...

    Why does one hate the British so much?
    Did you have a bad encounter?
    Did they hurt a relative?
    Steal from you perhaps,

    Or was this hatred rammed into you at school.

    No one said you were insulting anyone little stevie. Your delivery is suggestive of your context. And, combined with previous posts, we all know what you are and mean.

    He's supposedly an “Anarchist”, an empty idealist and hypocrit - he doesn't stand for anything, and he doesn't like anybody.

    Do we really want to bother with him?

    stevie is a bitter little SA indian living in Europe supporting the SA way of life without having to live it. I think Troy means he deserves no attention for a podium to deliver his hypocritical drivel.

    Exactly right, Captain.

    He is jealous of our better standard of living, and criticises it - there must be some “unfair” or “immoral” advantage we have, that keeps Argentina repressed (or 'oppressed', according to Stevie) while we are living high ( at their expense).

    He has no clue why Anarchy as an ideology is not suited to maintaining social order, a viable economy, and personal dignity.

    In short, he does not know what he is talking about and will take no responsibility - why listen to him or argue with him?

    :-)

    I agree 100% Troy. Every response to his non-sense breathes new life for another day into his European cared for lungs. I honestly feel bad for the SA's that are trapped in a system of corruption and exploitation of the population. That in itself should explain to him why SA and NA started the race of life together and ended so far apart.
