Quote by: saif Perhaps you should look into receiving a mental health evaluation sometime in the very near future.

No need... I already know I'm insane....

I say this because I am extremely worried that the socialist agenda you have been promoting has been too difficult a task and ultimately too stressfull for you to handle.

You are worried because you seem ingulfed into your absolute Capitalism ideals, where Canada has been known for mergers of socialist ideas and methods into democracy to help democracy stay stronger.... just because something is considdered communist, or socialist, or whatever, doesn't make it a bad thing.... our country is built on diversity, different races, different religions, different cultures, different forms of Government.... it is this balance of diversity which helps keep things balanced as much as they are, considdering the unequality you all seem to live in the US... the fear of oppression, the fear of terrorism, the fear of those who are or think differently then you, the fear of immigration (If you guys upheld and enforced your original immigration laws, you wouldn't require more laws to begin with)

Please heed my advice and make an appointment soon. Understanding this, I will just overlook your continued cyber temper tantrum in hope that you will seek professional help.

Uh-huh.... look out.... mental prax is going on a rampage.... here he comes to eat your babies :rolleyes:

You and one other seem to think my straight forwardness and to the point comments are temper tantrums..... grow a thicker skin.... if I can take all of you and your short minded views, then you should be able to take some of mine

Again where is your evidence? do you have any to support your notion? I have provided sufficient evidence to support my stance.

You need evidence for common sense? *sigh* fine then......

BBC Poll

A new global poll finds that in 33 of 35 countries surveyed, the most common view is that the war in Iraq has increased the likelihood of terrorist attacks around the world. On average, 60 percent of the respondents have this perception, while just 12 percent think the Iraq war has decreased the likelihood of terrorist attacks; another 15 percent think it has had no effect either way. The poll of 41,856 people was conducted for the BBC World Service by the international polling firm GlobeScan together with the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland. The 35-nation fieldwork was coordinated by GlobeScan and completed between October 2005 and January 2006. Steven Kull, director of PIPA, comments, “Though the Bush administration has framed the intervention in Iraq as a means of fighting terrorism, all around the world—including in the US—most people view it as having increased the likelihood of terrorist attacks. The near unanimity of this assessment among countries is remarkable in global public opinion polling.” Consistent with this uneasiness about the war in Iraq, more people than not in 20 of 35 countries think US-led forces should withdraw from Iraq in the next few months, while in nine countries, more people think US-led forces should remain until the situation is stabilized. Six countries are divided. On average, 50 percent favor an early withdrawal, while 35 percent favor remaining until the situation is stabilized. The countries most eager for US coalition withdrawal are Argentina (80%), Egypt (76%), China (67%), Brazil (67%), Saudi Arabia (64%) and Senegal (64%). The countries most inclined to favor the US remaining until Iraq is stable are the US (58%), Afghanistan (58%), Australia (57%), Great Britain (56%) and Germany (55%).

World Public Opinion

A new study based on a series of seven US polls conducted from January through September of this year reveals that before and after the Iraq war, a majority of Americans have had significant misperceptions and these are highly related to support for the war in Iraq. The polling, conducted by the Program on International Policy (PIPA) at the University of Maryland and Knowledge Networks, also reveals that the frequency of these misperceptions varies significantly according to individuals’ primary source of news. Those who primarily watch Fox News are significantly more likely to have misperceptions, while those who primarily listen to NPR or watch PBS are significantly less likely. An in-depth analysis of a series of polls conducted June through September found 48% incorrectly believed that evidence of links between Iraq and al Qaeda have been found, 22% that weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, and 25% that world public opinion favored the US going to war with Iraq. Overall 60% had at least one of these three misperceptions. Such misperceptions are highly related to support for the war. Among those with none of the misperceptions listed above, only 23% support the war. Among those with one of these misperceptions, 53% support the war, rising to 78% for those who have two of the misperceptions, and to 86% for those with all 3 misperceptions. Steven Kull, director of PIPA, comments, “While we cannot assert that these misperceptions created the support for going to war with Iraq, it does appear likely that support for the war would be substantially lower if fewer members of the public had these misperceptions.” The frequency of Americans’ misperceptions varies significantly depending on their source of news. The percentage of respondents who had one or more of the three misperceptions listed above is shown below......

So in other words, if you're an idiot, you believe it was and still is a good idea to remain in Iraq.... if you actually gathered some useful information around the world and got an average outlook, you might realize that invading and staying in Iraq is making things worse.

You wanted statistics and proof..... start adding the numbers and figure it out for yourself..... it's not too hard to do.... although perhaps you have difficulty believing that your government lied and now you all are responsible for what is going on in the world today.
