Now now, I think that it has not happened. Face it mate- it's primary school humour- and you belittle yourself with it. It's nice to hear over people's opinions- only to make your sound the best.<br><br>Over to you Mumsey and Lambykins Fan

You don't come onto Moylesworld tohave serious political debate. How do you stand on the issue of the impending ground conflict in Afghanistan, especially with the impending threat of germ warfare and the chance to get involved in another "Vietnam", where Guerilla warfare won the day and carpet bombing failed. <br><br>on line 2 we have Mumsey and Lambykins Fan

Well this is actually a really tricky situation.<br>Because I am not a warmonger I wouldn't normally support miltary attacks; but then the problem is: What other option do the west have?<br>Now let's look at the facts; the Taleban(or Taliban - the spelling can vary) are sheltering Osama Bin Laden, who has been implicitely linked to the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on September 11th. The United States government have requested several times to the Taleban to hand him over to stand trial - which they've refused due to lack of eveidence.<br>So if someone has murdered 6,000+ citizens in your country and another government won't extradite that suspect you really have no other choice but military action.<br>But I think that the coalition have thought through this, and acted quite sensibly; because the days after the atrocities of September the 11th you may remeber the public's clamour for immediate and devastating retaliation.<br>So by waiting for nearly 4 weeks, they have suucesfully planned a well co-ordinated response, minimilising the risk of civilian casualties(or that terrible phrase 'colateral damage').<br>I also think by waiting they have achieved another importing step in winning this war by gradually getting neighbouring countries 'on board', first of all it was Pakistan, then the volatile state of Tajikistan, then they got tentative support from Iran, and now more recently; and indeed quite importantly, they've got permission to base some of their troops in Uzbekistan.<br>So now Afghanistan is totally surrounded we get to the tricky part of what method of attack; eg. You've mentioned carpet-bombing which they've employed on the first two days of bombing; now that seems relatively succesful - but they're not going to win the war by air strikes alone obviously, so sooner or later ground troops will have to be involved. So will it be another Vietnam? I don't honestly believe it will; I think that this is a completely different scenario in so much as this is a different kind of war. What America wants from this war is the arrests of Osama Bin Laden and Mullah Mohammad Omar and for the Northern Alliance to take power(or possibly I heard bring the old king back)...Also with Vietnam they didn't really know what to expect, but with Afghanistan they will have undoubtely learnt from the debacle of the Soviet occupation of the 1980s. <br>And also another relevant point I think is that Afghanistan will have no backing from any other country; the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have both severed their ties with the Taleban -- so that only leaves Pakistan as the only country that recognizes the Afghani regime.<br>Whereas in Vietnam, the North Vietnamese obviously had backing the from Soviet Union,Cuba,the other Eastern Bloc countries etc.<br>In regards to the possibility of germ warfare, I would play down the possibilities of this for the following reasons:<br>1( Although the Al-Qaeda movement is very rich and well organized, I find it hard to believe wher they would be able to get the nuclear warheads from(perhaps Iraq?)<br>2( I think that if they had the capability for this they would have at least done a dummy test with them(remember the notorious mass murder of the kurds by Saddam Hussein testing his biological weapons?)<br>3( Politicians always give the worst case scenario - so the fact that they are warning that there could be germ warfare doesn't actually mean that they have any evidence to prove this theory.

It seems our friend M + L Fan is a perfectly sane individual after all, and to be honest  it shows he is a fellow mark and lard fan as he obviously has some degree of intelligence unlike many people who seem  to talk a lot of crap on this board.<br><br>Altough regarding the germ warfare point, many people seem to be scaremongering on this and that is stupid but there have been two cases of anthrax in America and I'd say that is pretty worrying.<br><br>Now that someone has displayed some intellect maybe it'd be a good idea to stop all the stupid arguing that goes on here cos its really boring and pretty pointless too!<br><br> :'(

Yeah of course I'm just a sane human being.<br>Sometimes I'll sound childish, if certain members on this board are slightly more intellectually challenged then me.<br>It's called 'dumbing down'; like the BBC employing Chris Moyles - sorry I couldn't resist it....

Me I love light hearted humour in the afternoon.<br>I am usually stuck in traffic when Moyles is on and in this way I get to chill out by laughing my lowbrow off. I get intellectual on the way in by listening to Mike Dickin or Today on radio 4.<br>Just because I listen to moyles does not make me unintelligent. I merely come on here to wind the likes of you up.<br><br>biggidy biggidy bong (dead intelligent)

Mr Hoare, I never said that listening to Moyles makes u unintelligent; I said that SOME of the members on this board are - most are intelligent.<br>I listen to Mike Dickin as well as Moyles and of course Mark and Lard.

Personally im finding Talksport much more exiting than R1. Since i left London i can only get Xfm on Sky channel 864 but Mike Dickin is always hitting the same subjects where James Whale does politics, sex, T.V and UFO sightings.
