jerry81 10 #3 April 9, 2003 Yes, but you didn't have to bomb Berlin for the changes to occur. At least not in '89. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KawiZX900 0 #8 April 9, 2003 so who's picking up the tab for this liberation anyway? Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.

jerm 0 #9 April 9, 2003 the american fucktoy..er.... taxpayer Though i'm sure all the extra profit the oil companies will get from easier access & keeping prices the same will trickle down to the rest of us just fine and it'll all be a wash.... trickle down worked for regan, right? Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miked10270 0 #12 April 9, 2003 Quote Check out this comparison between Berlin in 1989 and Baghdad in 2003!!! And the similarity is...? I was in Berlin during the "Winds of Change" (unashamed Scorpions plug). That was a revolution by the people, for the people, and with the effective acquiescence of both the domestic DDR government and the controlling superpower (for which Mikhael Gorbachev should surely receive a recurring Nobel Peace Prize). The fundamental difference was that there was NO invading army imposing change in the DDR. I am and always have been pro intervention in Iraq. I believe that the history as written in 50 years time WILL prove Bush & Blair to have been right in their actions. I also accept that the coalition forces have gone through Iraq like the proverbial knife through butter (or even the proverbial German regiment through the French Army), But I will not compare the fall of Iraq to the fall of any country in Eastern Europe (with the obvious exception of Serbia under Milosovich). IN Poland, Hungary, East Germany, The Czech republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria, Romania, many of the states of the former yugoslavia, the will of the people was made manifest and was heard. The peoples of that country were the authors and the heroes of their revolution. In Iraq an external force imposed a liberation. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

SpeedRacer 1 #15 April 10, 2003 uh, harry, they're talking about the end of the cold war in 1989 (when they tore down the Berlin wall, etc), not 1945. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
