[CreativeCritisizm]

you can tell he's been watching to many movies with this theatrical performance trying to woe the passive liberal English citizens with the over emphasized passion.

[adycousins]

Who you calling "passive"? There's nothing passive about us - this speech took place on a demonstration that was initially banned until we turned up in such numbers that they were forced to let it proceed. There's nothing Creative about your Critisizm...

[krunchedup]

A jolly fine fellow.

you do know that Che Guevara wasnt a Commuist right? Infact he highly mistrusted communists. He had sometimes refered to himself as a Marxist (not the same thing) but the main falling out point between him and fidel was over being a Comminist State or not. Castro didnt like communists, but felt that it was nessesary to defend against American agression. While Che wanted Cuba style revolutions elsewhere.

As For those Che killed, they would have been over keen to do the same to him

[Redcarpet01]

Dictatorships have them too. The PRC, Pakistan, North Korea, take your pick.

Mate, if you looked, the entire world has civilians' dieing all the time, theres too many of us in crowded spots, its like the chemical reaction of an 80kt nuke meeting ground at a considerable velocity

[EmperorFishFinger]

Yes, that TOTALLY justifies killing civilians.

[lightningpete]

Humans Killing Humans... its always going to be that way.... I mean what if we did all lay down these nukes and we stopped wars... i bet it would be the other way round and the other nations such as iran were at war in our countries, cos we would be all pansies.... Its a cruel world... accept it ....

[Tasbo1982]

I agree, its only ever been used when one single nation posessed it - even though that nation was a democracy. With weapons of this type a balance of power is always important - but you have to realise that if you give this weaponry to dictatorships where the decision making process rests on 1 person (the dictator) then you're asking for trouble. Simple as that - my point is that only democracies should have these weapons because they are much less likely to use them. That's all.

[versaflex]

I do not try to come off as a wiseguy, but given the fact that the US is the only nation to have actually used the a-bomb, says something. As long as the US got it, i feel more safe knowing that others got it.

[Tasbo1982]

That's called pragmatism - not Ideology. I suppose you could say Emannuel Kant talked about it a bit in the 18th century (democratic peace theory) - but in reality it is crazy idealism to say that democracies with nuclear weapons dont have the right to prevent dictatorships that have publically stated their intentions to destroy those democracies from gaining them. Its insane, and you know it - you're just showing off, because you're young and you think you're clever.

[Tasbo1982]

Well considering that Russia, China, the UK, France, India, Pakistan, and almost certainly Israel also have nuclear weapons capability, i'm not sure how you could have come to that conclusion. No I don't trust the USA, I marched three times in London against the invasion of Iraq and have always been a strong critic of US foreign policy. I just think that allowing dictatorships the use of this technology would be dangerous, so I would support action against N Korea or Iran.

[versaflex]

Oh I am so impressed with your masters degree.

So you feel that the US should be the only ones with nuclear weapens, and function as the global watchmen? Is that your personal oppinion, or something you have adopted through your studies. Because that must be the words of a fools ideology, either yours, or someone elses.
