Bombs over Baghdad Reviews

Gulf War 2 caused a lot of outrage when it kicked off, but why was there such opposition to it? No matter how you look at it, Gulf War 2 was going to occur sometime. It could have been sooner or later, but it was going to happen. Britain and the USA bombed Iraq freely for a decade leading up to Gulf War 2. After the ...

Painfully in Labour. No I'm not talking about childbirth, but there is a paralell here. Is Tony Blair finished? Will we see Gordon Brown as the Labour Party Leader and dare we say it, the new Prime Minister? The latest news reports say that Tony is considering pulling our troops out of Iraq in about a ...

I was in Spain at the period of the blasts in Madrid and the elections in Spain. The first time I’ve heard about the bombs they said it was made by the national terrorist group ‘ETA’ from the land ‘Vasco’ which is on the north of Spain. ‘ETA’ wants an independence from the Spanish government and ...

IRAQ I have resisted the temptation up until now to raise the subject of Iraq but would like to air my opinions now. Since I was a teenager I have always had an interest in politics , no particular party, and regard myself as a democrat with a small 'd'. Over the years, especially the last decade or so, I have ...

A lot of people have opinions about what is happening and what scares me is that this war provokes reaction, provokes extreme thoughts and divides people by those thoughts. Even the man next door or your best friend could have a very different view from you which in itself is not a bad thing, but when thoughts become ...

As freedom gradually becomes a possible word with a real meaning in Baghdad - it is interesting to consider those against the war that lead to this freedom now seek to dictate the future Iraq. If there had been no war in anybody's name - then Saddam's torturers would still be hand-drilling holes in people hands before their ...

I think that a lot op people getting killed in war is bad, but I don’t think that all these anti-war demonstrations and letter campaigns are doing the British and American troops any good. We should be supporting our troops, making sure that they do their best and try and get them home safely. I don’t think that signing ...

I don't often follow public opinion but in this case, I have to agree with the anti-war majority in this country. The biggie for me is the justifications which have been put forward by George W. for this war. To begin with it was "Iraq is harbouring terrorists!" Ok, maybe that's a reason, especially in light of the ...

This is not a straight forward view on the current situation and I apologise if people find it too subtle. It's allegorical. I wrote this on Ciao because I wasn't sure it was suited to this category, but it has been so well received I decided it was worth the risk. I hope it makes people think. My stance on the war is in there, but I ...

It maybe controversial to say this but.... I say.. If they can say there was a military target within the area then its a legitimate target, YES its regretable, but this is war. and war aint pretty The Iraqis have busses of civilians following tanks They have bombs and weapons in school They have chemical ...

Once again we see American jingoism running rough shod over British Tactics. The sheer naivety of the American forces race to Baghdad has left the UK forces to clear up the mess. While the gung ho Americans race for glory to decapitate the opposition. The Iraqi Forces re-group and hit at the venerable UK rear echelon supposedly backing up the ...

I went to a war protest yesterday. It was my first time, and I felt as a chubby virgin thirteen year old girl probably would upon clumsily tearing off her pink button-down Hello Kitty sweater for her pimply-faced love interest for the first time. Really self-conscious, almost as if I'd do something wrong, and in the event that I would, that ...

It's no good. After commenting so many times I shall put in my two-penn'orth. I really have tried to ask myself why I am more passionately against this war than any other before. I accepted the last Gulf War as a necessity, as indeed I did the Falklands War. Although like most of us I find conflict abhorrent, I am not an absolute ...

Sorry for this being my 2nd review of the day but it is one I feel needs posting, look at this, I'm becoming a churner. Well, the war in Iraq is firmly underway despite the failure to agree for a second legislation. In the early hours of Thursday morning, American planes began bombing specific Iraqi targets throughout Baghdad. Although at ...

OK, I had to write this, I’ve been reading and leaving comments on so many other people’s opinions on this subject that I felt it was time to explain my position more fully. I believe the issue of whether to go to war with Iraq is not as clear-cut as pro or anti camps make out. When the situation was getting to the stage that ...

Unfortunately it has come to this. Each night I pray for overwhelming love to embrace this world and put an end to the need for force of any kind. BUT that day has not yet come. People are easily misled on all sides of this conflict, including those pushing for peace. What peace I ask? Where will be the peace as long as Iraq's current ...

Following the disastrous terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001 George Bush began to investigate further into Iraq and what really happened to their weapons of mass destruction. In doing so Al Samoud missiles which had been altered and improved so that they could fly further were found. This means that Saddam Hussein has the ability to attack ...

Dear Everyone: Due to circumstances, I have decided to leave Dooyoo and all other opinionating sites. I have enjoyed the time I have spend here and just wanted to tell everyone goodbye. Now because of new circumstances, I will not be able to post opinions like I did in the past. I appreciate being able to read the posted opinions, and the ...

Some poster question why Bush has changed his reasons for intervention in Iraq. The implication is that there is something sinister involved in this. Bush has decided that Saddam must disarm. From this position, he is attempting to get as many people on board as possible. If you follow politics at all (and this is ...

Apparently these 3 words mean nothing to France when French oil contracts are at stake. France against war - find out why? I just read some fscinating articles on the current crisis. One thing that I had been struggling with was why the French who have not been shy of an unjust war or blowing up an innocent Greenpeace Boat have ...
