What is it with all these celebs, making campaigns to stop war, when they don't know what it's really all about. It's a bit sad and pathetic, when you think about it, they should just stick to acting and singing, that's what they are good at. It's so frustrating when you see people like kylie and coldplay trying to stop war when they don't know a damn thing about it.

Its like when George Michael had a go at Blair, his reply was basically that Blair doesnt tell him how to sing, he shouldnt tell him how to run a country.

So true, it disgusts me though sometimes what the celebs will do just for a little more attention from the press. They think if they get into this war thing, they will be loved by public.Well they're wrong.

Sorry but I have to ask you this, What makes you think they know nothing about this war ? You seem pretty sure of yourself in a few other posts about George Bush and his "hidden" agenda and on why he is fighting this war, but the Stars are wrong???
If you had the TV time that the stars do would you NOT voice your opinion.

Most of the stars don't know what they are talking about, i'd agree some do, but you can tell most of them making anti-war campaigns know nothing about it and what this war is all about. They have to stick their noses in, for example: Kylie minogue- she says we have to stop this war for whatever reason but while she does this, she wiggles her bottom or something and all the guys come and agree with her. To me that doesn't make it right. There are some like the hollywood stars do know what they are talking about, and U2 do, i respect them, they don't do it for the publicity.

I don't want war as well, i hate it. I think the UN are making progress now. I don't want people to die because of this war but then someone will argue that all the bloodshed that will be lost on not going to war. It's inevitable now, we are,it makes scared what is going to happen now.

To be honest your hardly the most 'filled in' person to talk about the war, only a week ago you were exactly the same as them. With the only difference being that they're famous.

I don't agree, i don't want war, but they have nothing really to say about it, they should just leave it up the proffesionals.

This country has freedom of speech and they just say what they feel. Don't want war, but what is the alternative??
--------------------
We are all born for love. It is the principle of my existence,
and its only end.
I feel it when I when I sorrow most:
It is better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
Seduce my mind and you can have my body
Find my soul and I'm yours forever
Love is like war,
Easy to begin but hard to end.
Love is like a rumor,
Everyone talks about it,
But no one truly knows.

yeah what?
how can you say this? They all have the freedom of speech just like everyone else in the country. Being a celebrity doesnt automatically make them stupid. Just because they things about the war that are different from what you think doesnt make them wrong.

People listened, and only 56% of the country support the war, becoming more each day. Most then still dont support because of no 2nd resolution. After that there are just those long unwashed greenpeace types ...

I think you are wrong.. I mean some stars do not know what they are talking about but then again I dont think you know what you are talking about either.. Everyone is intitled to their own opinion. Even if they are actors or musicians. I believe people, such as cold play and other musicians play a big part in the peace movement. Thats my two cents.
--------------------
So we fought for the republic
While the Catholic sun filled every eye.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean,
We drank to the mighty.
We died for oil,
We died for borders,
Killed for democracy,
Still believed every platform.
Can you handle the death,
Accept what we create together?
I still know every politician
Is a fucking monster.
Culture kills bureaucrats
And all other undesireables.
History said we died for freedom,
But today no justice was served,
And America still sleeps tonight

yeah its 56%, cus people like you who think saddam or bin laden and his mule army are going to get them, as 90% of the media says so. there mere fact that 7+ mps have resign does go to show the gravity of the anti-war movement, which is actually justified considering that there is no 2nd resolution, highly suspcious.

I don’t think they are going to get me at all, I have never said this and tell people that they are more likely to be hit by a car, which they are. 90% of the media does not say they are at all. I don’t know what news you watch, but I practically always have it on and have never heard any of them mention their opinions about it, other than quote what people have said.
I think all of the others that have stayed says even more for the pro war case in our government. Yes some of these people did resign because of not getting a 2nd resolution, but they have resigned their positions, not their places in the party or their council seats. So there isn’t as much gravity as you think.
A 2nd resolution would have led eventually to war anyway, I dont see why everyone is getting so annoyed about it … ? We are as good without one as we are with, we are legally allowed to attack Iraq as specified by terms in 3 existing resolutions including 1441. This is where most people are confused, and now why most public opinion is swaying towards a little bit of national pride for once and backing our troops, who at the end of the day are doing their job, whether they have the backing of us or not. No one can stop the war, so why don’t we get on with supporting our troops and hoping they get home safely.

if i had the time....i will match the things youve said on the forum to things that are printed daily in the daily mirror/express/mail, the sun (note to americans, these are supermarket tabloids)....indeed your general rhetoric suggests heavy influence from such tripe.

Well some of these only left after the last vote was cast, there will be no more on this issue, hence not important. Lets not forget diplomacy would not have lasted this long it not for Blair, but it remains that Saddam has not done what was expected of him, he only did what he has done because of 200,000 troops in the region.
War was fully justified before as by the terms of 1441 without the second resolution, that is what I was saying.
The US/UK are not going it alone at all, is it 35 countries now have pledged their support? Must I say yet again how the oil of Iraq will be under the mandate of the UN, or do people just omit that fact when reading.
I didn’t ask you to be clearer, I understood the first time and I gave my response, which I am clarifying for you now. If you think that you have to explain yourself more often maybe you should pick up a book on how to use the English language effectively? If people don’t get your point it only means you have a very ineffective ability with language.

Maybe you should also think back to how much I have in the past I have expressed my dislike of tabloids, I read the BBC news online, arabnews online, the Guardian and the Independent. My views do not suggest that I read such ‘tripe’ at all, because I support war and the government I read the Sun?
Your general rhetoric to me, suggesting it is all about oil, and blaming it on Anglo-Saxons suggests that you take the Arab/Moslem anti-American view, maybe because you are Pakistani?
Annoying to be generalised isn’t it?

Well it is only doing exactly what you were pointing out to me about Anglo-Saxon warmongers and me reading the SUN. I was generalising you as you generalised me. Just because you are an ethnic minority in a predominantly Anglo-Saxon country does not mean you can be racist, even if it is only a little bit. Again I must point another thing you know about me, I am by no means racist. Hence why I put, ‘it isn’t nice to be generalised’ … so you, entirely missed my point..

I am trying to turn your own arguments on you to do with the racism. See above.
You are speculating now about the ‘thinly guised’ UN funding now, but this action will bring oil down in price as the Saudis etc will not extort the west, it will improve western and thus the world economy. If the US economy goes into decline so does the rest of the world.

anglo-saxon in the context that i used it is a term to describe the similarities of traditions in politics/economics of usa and uk.....you will find the term anglo-saxon in all good text books when refering to such political/economic traditions.
I knew you were not being racist, as I was not either, but you can see how it can be misinterpreted. All good texts will refer to Arab, Moslem and Pakistani political and economic traditions, I just didn’t put ‘warmonger’ after it.

Why so? I have not even opened a copy of the sun in almost 2 years, an do not plan to for a long time. But its only because the Sun usually take a strong opinion and the broadsheets tend to go more independent.
Unlike the Independent news paper (which I sometimes read) who has been anti-war to reflect its reader base.
The guardian is independent yet tend s to lean slightly behind the government.
The times is leant more towards the conservative view and from what I have read is slightly behind their general point of view which is pro war. But the broadsheets offer both sides of the facts, as the tabloids tend not to, thus you can read the broad sheets as you want to.

No I drew parallels to your opinions and Islamic propaganda that I had read, like the stuff about the US and not UN sanctions the phrases I could probably match that you have used. But as this obviously offends you I will not draw parallel to it in the future, I would hope you will respectfully do the same.

Whoa, it sorta seems as though you took that statement personally. And I never said that you were American, what i meant was that you sound like American and/or what an American should sound like.

"A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation, and a foundation for inner security"- Albert Einstein

My opinion is exactly like Blairs, which if you bothered to understand the view of your countries stance is almost exactly like the American opinion. Being patriotic is not foolish at all, and neither do I highlight these borders. I beleive you are just trying to get a rise out of me, which you wont now as I am very tired and off to bed.
How much have I been arguing in defence of France, the most anti war out of all opposing countries?

<---- American and proud of it
As for the Oil thing in the war. Yep part of it is about oil but who in any country wants to pay more for heating oil, gas, and just general oil products. The whole world benifets from the US, British, Austrailian ,plus the other countries who sent troops but I can not find them right now, troops who are clearing out Iraq. Plus I personally would say 90% of the people living in Iraq will have better lives after this war is over, maybe not right away. There will need to be rebuilding in the country.
One thing. I think the naysayers should not have a voice in is WHO rebuilds Iraq. France, Germany, Russia and the rest can kiss my American ass. They should not have any say in which companys, from the Countries that were for this war, who get the contract for rebuilding.
If France, Germany, Russia and the rest get a say then... I don't know but I will not be happy at all, I will feel cheated as a member of a country that helped free these people from Sa'damn and who removed these WMD from his hands, which Sa'damn proved he had by firing Scud missiles, so people do not have to live in fear of him.
I'm glad we are doing this war and I only had wished we had done this earlier.
