So sorry for my bias.

So there is nothing to link the Middle East conflict with Iraq and Afghanistan?

So there are all isolated events with absolutely nothing in common?

I'd say that that taking up arms and bombs while hiding behind the coran is related to all of them. Including the use of Palestine as an excuse for everything, from talibans to dictators and suicide bombers.

If not, why are we in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo? Why aren't we in Chechenya?

Why are we part of a UN sanctioned NATO mission in Afghanistan and henchmen in Iraq?

The 1st portuguese soldier to die in conflict in over 10 years happened last week in the outskirts of Kabul, by remote detonation of a mine while the patrol vehicule passed over.

Not a peep out of me. Had it happened in Iraq, my attitude would differ.

You still are unable to see why?

Do I bring the focus of conversations to the US, or do you?
Step outside this specific thread and read the political thread titles.
How many of them are completely unrelated to the US?
How many of these threads did I start or actively participate in?
Oh, I remember starting one that read "Your/my country sucks" where I punched left and right, but I didn't spare my own either (nor did Pitseleh, but there is little to criticize in Norway. There's a lot to criticize in Portugal. But who cares?)

I mean, for crying out loud, I love Asurai and think he's a great kid, but doesn't the very start of this thread seem biased to you?
Doesn't any right-wing, republican, Bush supporter, mason, quacker, muslim, hebrew find something wrong at all? I did, so I posted some of my opinions on the issue (an oposing one, of course) and suddenly I'M biased?
Or maybe I just don't have a valid excuse for my bias and Helena does.

The terms and conditions of any resolution towards peace regarding this issue do pass through the US administration, do they not? So, again, the US is part of the issue at hand. So is Europe, but if we keep playing this parental figure/protegeé thing the US does with Israel and Europe with the Palestinian Authority, the two will never settle down.

I'm biased? Wheh was the last time that a member (other than Dis) argued both sides of things?

Anyway, Sunday night here, gonna go back to another weeks work tomorrow, at my cushy job for 550 euros a month (about the same US), but at least I got a job (for another 2 weeks or so), so I think I'll turn in.

Good night.
