Felix, why are you so hung up on the possibility of war with Iraq, and posting anything you find that only deals with the US on this forum? From what I have read, at *least* the UK is siding with us along with another ally (and no, I can't think of it right now) and yet you seem hell-bent on singling the US out for everything. At this time, I interpret this as basically "trolling" for arguments on this topic, and would ask you to stop. Also, I would ask that others who are reading this topic and find it offensive/annoying to *NOT* get into an argument about it here. I am coming to the conclusion that while this is the "Other" forum, religion and politics are still two things that should be left out of it.

I think that is a very wise decesion.

Fine.

As for the C@C, I'm still on a 56k and don't generally have time after work. Maybe when I move into my new place.

However I might consider Age of Empires II: Conquerors.

Nothing personal, Felix, but I have seen many discussions quicky go downhill when those topics are brought up.

I wouldn't go that far.
I also stuck the boot into jdulmage during "that" incident, but later felt bad about it and apologised.

As for my opinion, after a long talk with a friend of mine in NY (her brother is also a Naval Aviator and she's a Politics/History grad) I have realised that some parts of my argument/belief are too idealistic and perhaps too passive to be feasable.

I guess if we (and I say we becuase it is a world issue) were dealing with a stable, predictable authority figure, continued diplomacy would be an option. After my little chat, where I learnt some facts I didn't know about previous engagements, I must change my stance away from "No War" to something different, though I'm not sure quite what.
