If you mean Gordon Brown, he talks through his arse!



I see you have lost none of your eloquence LL



He is a yes man - that is it! Bows to public opinion. Slimey git! How is that for eloquence?



OK. Still proud to be a Brit 'cos that means British public opinion is anti PKK terrorism.

Condy Rize is asking for 3 days to make their minds up about what they want to do. I reckon THAT is slimey...



Yes, we have much more to consider...I don't think anything is slimey about that. You want the U.S. to intervene, they should at least be given a fews day for discussions and talks.. The American public is also against ANY form of terrorism....

However, I will tell you some of the American public questions whether Turkey is against only their terrorism issues when Turkey is affected or terrorism throughout the world..

Revenge for what ? That is a very profound statement to make.

An "eye for an eye" and bloodshed for bloodshed ... it's what MEN do best.

even if this means making the same mistakes as the ones who have offended?
this is sometimes called mirror-acting.

The deaths of these soldiers is a terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to the families of the men who have died, I cannot imagine what they must be going through. Peace is what I am praying for.

What if it was your immediate family? Someone kiiled your daughter or son? Would you want revenge? I hope I am never put in this place, but I often wonder. If it was me, how would I react. Sometimes I just wonder if prison is enough... I don't believe an eye for an eye, but I also have difficulty turning the other cheek at times..

I cannot state either. I wasn't in the position of a relative being killed. Except my grandfathers:one died out of lung cancer after emprisonement by communist, the other never fully recovered after WW2. I have no children. It is hard to emmit opinions in this. I, and i speak for myself, i think i could not kill as for revenge. As for prison, i personally find lacking of freedom much more imprinting for a life than the few minutes necessary to pass away. And war means not killing the one that hurted you but to kill an another, that shares some common social features with the killer: nationality, appartenance to a group. And possibly the killing intention.
