  1. Hitler did not start off by claiming "living space" actually he started off by claiming the rights to areas previous won or controlled during the Prussian wars and borderline before WW1…….Also used the line about ethnic speaking Germans……Living Space was his line for invading territories further such as Russia.
  2. Indeed, but because of the deals he had with the US and others he had enough power to ruthlessly contain Iraq…….Nobody that is contesting for power in the country right now has that power……I take it that the Kurds will still hold the northern mountain region and may try to expand a bit…….They will sit by and watch the other two sides go at each for a long time……There must be so many weapons in that country that everybody has their own army…….No involvement at this point might be the best policy unless Iraq oversteps its borders again
  3. I did……..Because the entire set up of Iraq is a complete disaster…….3 completely different factions that will never get along……Churchill and the British used to play with borders like they were playing RISK and the result was Iraq…….Saddam was a bastard for sure, but I think only a bastard could keep that country together, rightly or wrongly…..He had some sort of agreement with the powers that be that allowed him to retain control…..But He pissed off the Saudi's and the US when he invade Kuwait and was a marked man……His crazy ass pushed the envelope and eventually the US went in twice, the first time much to the dismay to the Kurds in the North they stopped and left the Kurds hanging…….After the successful invasion of Iraq by the US, there is no exit strategy that would have ever have worked……..3 warring factions in what is pretty much a civil war after the power vacuum was left open without Saddam…….3 different countries would be some sort of answer, but they would no doubt fight with each other forever pretty much.
  4. I hope Gilbert Perreault crushes out a cigarette on your forehead while your getting scoped……..But other then that good luck….. :beer:
  5. Peca deserved to get paid, plain and simple
  6. He was from Quebec not really sure he had any choice, the premier of Quebec in the 70s Rene Lesveque (sp) was famous for smoking 2 at a time.
  7. I am happy to enjoy the great music of his that I still enjoy today…….Sometimes the glass is half full man.
  8. It is a great Film, Terry Giliam (sp) directed……..A really great movie.
  9. His forgotten Classic, the Fisher King, watch it guys……Was one of a kind and was in so many movies that people fell in love with the movie and him.
  10. RIP Oh Captain, My Captain……. :(
  11. Garbage gets picked up on Friday morning around here.
  12. Unless we take the Bills……. :beer: I don't want the Bills to move, no city deserves to lose its team, especially Buffalo.
  13. Canada was at the World Cup in 1986, thank you very much….. :beer:
  14. Well said man….. :beer:
  15. Germany beat Portugal 1-0 today to win the Under 19 Euro in Hungary……A couple of players on this team have a very bright future…..Strike David Selke had 6 goals in the tourney.
  16. LOL, renders the player completely invisible, but does emit a large sucking sound when used
  17. Agreed, had they been one country they would have probably fielded a stronger team and would have formed the Bundesliga earlier which would also have lead them to having a stronger team and perhaps a couple of more trophies.
  18. Schweiny got punched in the face, got stitched up hockey style and went back on the pitch…….Great game, great team……4 stars
  19. Germany all the way……..Lets go Müller!!!!
  20. Our goaltending should help us tank even better……..No way enroth can play 70 games……..And if we trade him, lol…….we will suck even worse
  21. I can see this being interesting, my cousin and I have talked about this being something that could stop some very difficult calls and really if the ball is in the 18 yard box…….But I guess players could impede the goalie and defenders
  22. The world cup is on another level all together.
