You obviously don't like what I've said because you have picked my opinion to shreds. It's not going to make me change my mind same way you don't change your's when people argue with you.
It's a discussion board...not a who's-better-than-who board.
You're the one turning it into a "who's-better-than-who board"
You made a post and said what is your point of view.
As you said, I picked your opinion to shreds and see my own post as some sort of effort to try and change your mind instead of what it is, a post with an opposing point of view that you are invited to pick to shreds and discuss the pro's and con's of each point of view.
Instead, because my own post was so water tight in its argument, what you do it try and turn it into a personal attack because in your own post you tried to have it both ways.
Namely - Hitler was wrong to invade Poland, (which is more or less on our door step), but the UK & US were spot on to invade Iraq despite the fact Iraq's only threat to us is oil production via all of the Arab states.
You really should try thinking things through and learn what the words "discussion" and "debate" mean. I said nothing personally against you or your opinions, I put forward my own point of view which is a point of view the majority of people in the UK & US believe to be true.
That being invading Iraq had nothing at all to do with the people there or what was going on there, but had everything to do with oil production.
