1 I have seen the video. It's apparent the poor guy was dead before they showed the actual beheading, thank GOD. It was almost as graphic as Armstrong's in that you saw it closeup, and when they cut his neck, they turned his body upwards so that the camera could get the blood rushing down on the ground...horrible, horrible. An Iraqi? What's next? A child? Why do they think that by killing their own kind, it will bother us as much as killing one of ours?

2 All non muslims are targets and any muslim that does any kind of business with the West is a target too. That pretty much puts the terrorists in the minority to some degree methinks.

3 To pissed off to comment.

4 You just did! What's it gonna take, people? Too late to keep debating over our reasons for invading Iraq...we're there now, what next?

5 And al-sadr's people are negotiating "peace" or did I misread what they are doing? It is really "piece" -- a piece of this person, pieces of that person until they get their perverted way. This is beyond pissed off-able.

6 Sorry, my bad. That's not sadr's people like it makes any difference. Peace = human pieces to any of those terrorists.

7 "It's apparent the poor guy was dead before they showed the actual beheading, thank GOD." I'm afraid he wasn't. He is quite alive at the time of the beheading. You can see his trachea moving as they slice into his neck. This is one of the most sadistic exectutions in that they don't finish the job quickly but allow him to breathe and suffer for moments before each slash. (Yes, for those of you who choose not to view these videos, I'm giving the "radio" version here). What I found weird was the line drawn around his neck, it was present on the part of the video before his exectution and is present as they commence the chopping. Was this REALLY a "guide" for the executioner? Does this suggest that these guys were beheading virgins? Oh man, let's get this US Election out of the way then nuke this hell hole to smithereens. Really, the rest of the world won't miss it. Innocent civilians dying you say? Yeah, that's a shame but in order to die, you must first have a life. These people have no life under the threat of this kind of terrorism.

8 Sorry, but I think he was dead....you didn't hear him scream or move or anything....and the place where he was beheaded was not where he was sitting when he gave his statements. The neck looked discolored, ashen, as though the person was already dead, not a fleshy, healthy color. Regardless, dead is dead no matter how. Bigley, I feel, was shot in the head...look at the puncture wound to the forehead.

9 Red I do agree with you! Unfortunately, the bleeding heart libs from the UK think Iraq was an "illegal invasion" and I have given up trying to convince them it wasn't...see the Kenneth Bigly Video Blog...anyway, Saddam was definitely a threat and would have used the WMD on us if we didn't go there first. In fact, I don't believe we would even be discussing this on the blog, as we all would've been blown to smitherenes by Saddam. Anyone who thinks that WMD, just because they weren't found are not there, is a fool. Saddam hid them, he knew we were closing in on him. And what about Zarqawi? Isn't he in Iraq and beheading people? I'm sure this shit was going on way before our invasion, they are just using the videos as propaganda to make us think it's because we invaded them....they don't want to see Bush in office again... Hell, I don't think they care about anyone, they are beheading their own people and Hussan has been there for over 30 yrs. helping their people!!! Fuck them and their "innocents"!!!! If they can't escape the damned place, too bad. Make it a parking lot already.

10 stop making an issue about things like this and they'll give up using it as shock value. yes, they may result to something else... but then they might get caught also...

11 I just looked at the video again. When they made the first cut, you didn't hear the guy make a sound...no scream, nothing....the sounds you hear a little later into the video sounds like someone is getting sick from watching the beheading. Anyway, I still hope he was dead or drugged when they cut him. I don't know what the line was that was drawn on his neck, like a surgical mark?

12 Couple posts on my blog about that wonderful guy Zarqawi.... Post 1
Post 2

13 and why, when it is VERY OVBIOUSLY a religious issue, do we continue to allow all good muSLIMs to get their bed sheet wearing asses out of their perspective armpits and come over here??

14 Here's a better headline: "Iraqi-based military wing of the American Left strikes again."

15 In the old west, horse thieving used to be popular, until we started giving everyone a fair trial and then hanging them by the neck until they were dead. Maybe we need to start something like this in the new badlands? I got to say that it is gonna be a pleasure to see what happens to Zarquawi when they catch him. My plan would be to have all the nice people of Fallujah that are not up to no good come on out so we can reduce the entire city to powder with a little old fashioned carpet bombing. I don't care why they hate us. I want them to be close enough to touch the mushroom cloud.

16 He was most definitely ALIVE when he was chopped! He didn't appear to be struggling, indicating that he may have drugged (or beaten) just prior to his execution. Laura says '...little later into the video sounds like someone is getting sick...', not true darlin. Watch the video again, you can clearly see his windpipe jutting out each time he 'grunts' for breath. They marked his neck, pulled his head up, and let him huff and puff a bit before they finish the job. They did this in the same way they did the Nepalese guy, remember, they let him lay there for a while before they finished cutting that guy up. It's all part of their 'Shock' mentality.

17 But when they started cutting, you didn't hear him scream, like the Armstrong video! Surely upon impact of that knife to his neck, he would've let out a cry, scream, something. The windpipe moving or whatever, could be the body's reaction. Ever see a chicken still strut around after his head is cut off? I'm not doubting you, I would just like to believe he was already "out of it" when he was beheaded. And lifting the head up to let the blood drain out was the most horrible thing I've ever seen! These bastards are lower than animals. Nuke the whole lot of them, the people there don't stand a chance anyway.

19 Mr. K, how about you go to Iraq and sing that. I'm sure they won't behead you.

20 I say we nuke em.

21 Iraq or Newman?

22 Its hard to scream when someone is holding your head back but I thought I did hear some sound on the first cut. His windpipe (trachea) is definitely moving. The way the blood pumps out suggests a still beating heart... blood congeals pretty quickly in a dead person and wouldn't flow out like that. But as you say Laura, this is all academic now. The guy is dead for sure now.

23 ANDRE: How about you go to Iraq and don't sing it. I'm sure you'll be safe.

24 I'm not going to watch the video. Seen one, seen all. I don't want to condition myself to these atrocities. Remember the muslim asshole last week who wrote that Zarqawi was a good guy just fighting for his fellow muslims. Well today his boys killed, I mean slaughtered over 50 unarmed Iraqi soldiers going home on leave. I wonder if the good muslims that VENOM talks about are going to mutilate their bodies and drag them thru the streets like they do American soldiers. I hope not. One other thing. Who in the hell sent these unarmed soldiers across the country in minibuses without an armed escort. Thats crazy. I mean everyone knows the ISLAMIOFACISTS and their supporters are trying to kill them. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.

25 Lulled into some false sense of security? What else would explain why civilians remain there (Armstrong, Hensley, Bigley, Hassan) and countless others there to make a living and/or help the place. I heard guards were outside the home that Armstrong, etc. were living in, but they surprised him, at least that's the story I got. When you're not expecting it, even if you're armed, some of you are going to get ambushed and killed by the time the others realize what's happening. At the first sign of trouble, you couldn't have paid me to remain in Iraq. Don't get me wrong, no one deserves that, even if they remain there, but common sense people, get the hell OUT. How long has Zarqawi been holed up in Iraq? Could it be that terrorists have been there and posed a threat to us all along? If so, why did Bush use the excuse about going there to find WMD' or to help them win their freedom or whatever the hell other lame excuse? Why not just say we're gong to get the terrorists and leave it at that? Admitting Iraq didn't have WMD's when they didn't find any (didn't mean they weren't there) was a stupid action on the part of our government. There are a million other reasons they couldn't used for being there, but one will suffice for me: to kill every fucking terrorist that is a threat.

26 One more. Who is the informant who told Zarqawi when and where the unarmed soldiers were to be at? The bastard is probably on our payroll.

27 Ok, i'll go to iraq on two conditions, you come with me and we both have machine guns, preferably belt fed ones and we just go through the streets mowing down anything older than 6 years old.

28 Laura: Nuke em all, let God sort em out. Kirk Andre: They would behead themselves if they heard me sing.

29 Zarqawi probably knows every move his "enemies" make, they are snakes in the grass (no offense to snakes worldwide). These guys live to kill, for Allah, and for whatever the fuck other reasons may suit them each day. Death to all of them. Only I hope and pray they meet a nice, slooow death, so that Armstrong, Hensley, and Bigley will not have died in vain.

30 72 virgin male camels wait for those turds in heav.... errr, hell when they die.

31 Allah aka the devil never said they where virgin women, now did he?

32 It appears that once again the forces of good have beaten back the evil empire and their liberal imperial army.

33 Can anyone argue with the fact that had we done to Hitler what Bush did with Saddam, millions of lives would've been saved?? The anti-war nuts keep on believing that our occupation in Iraq is wrong and causing all these senseless beheadings, killings of civilians, etc. Is anyone that stupid to believe that that wouldn't be happening anyway had Saddam still been there? Why is America always to blame? Bush was ill advised as to his reasons for invading Iraq...surely any idiot knows that Iraq always posed a threat, and Saddam would've surely blown us to smitherenes with his WMD's that he hid so well in Syria.

34 when he put the knife on the neck and start to cut you see he doesnt even follow the line drawn on the neck, in fact he cut exactly on the thing on the middle of the neck I dont know the word in english. must be so painful to cut there. this is the first time they do that, all other beheadings they use the knife right under the chin. this time they didnt bother on blindfolding the victim. ansar al-sunnah group do way more sadistic beheadings than tawid al-jihad I dont know if they actually enjoy that I rather believe they want to fear who work for u.s. al-sunnah are evil bastards.

35 WOW hearing the comments of the " nukeing " suggestion justs shows how very well you trust ur Army's intelligence!!!! What ur suggesting is the same tactic what Army men do when their vehicle gets disable in enemy territory ..destroy it completely so that no traceis left..same thought ..right??? You people are too concerned about this poor person but have no problem in mentioning to nuke the whole place down.... for eg .quoting what's above mentioned by red devil""Oh man, let's get this US Election out of the way then nuke this hell hole to smithereens ""...so pathetic.By nuking this whole place you'll be wiping out this poor man's family too...Hypocracy to the core!!! I though agree with Greyrooter regarding the the 49 iraqi soldiers massacre..why were they sent all alone unarmed...poor planning,thought ,,poor intelligence!!!! As for Laura..comments too contradictary! Do be sorry if your house was also converted into a parking lot just because a serial killer had planted his weapon in your backyard

36 Fact of life that you would throw scruples to the wind if you were in a life threatening situation and had to defend yourself. Saddam planned to use those weapons for mass destruction...the tons of explosives that Bush never told us existed at the "secured" site...of course they're missing NOW, but why didn't Bush secure it before the invasion??? Does anyone think Bush STILL lied to us when he said Saddam had WMD? I believe that those explosives could've been used to make WMDs, hell you gotta start somewhere. I don't believe they are explosives for demolition, construction, whatever the lib's want you to believe they are. Saddam always was a threat, Bush knew that, so we got him. A shame that innocent lives are being lost every day, but that is the price of war. I don't see an end to this, unless an end comes to the country. As someone else said somewhere on here, "you have to have a life before you're dead, and the Iraqi people don't have a life with the threat of terrorism every day". It's just a slow death, had we not gone there.

37 ROOPESH: Have you met my friend Daewood from Bombay yet?

38 Zarqawi needs to be KILLED by cutting his head off.

39 Yeah, but we gotta GET him first!

40 Murderers, you will remember me long before my knife reaches the end of your useless existence. Until then, take a little time to try to understand that you are little people who have reached the lowest levels of human existence, expressed again and again by your leaders who you had misguidedly thought were the highest of human kind. Did it ever occur that you yourselves have proven worthy of being targeted in true Jihad? How sad you are to desperately try to twist your evil ways by calling your actions part of a "Holy" Jihad! Does your brain have the capacity to note that your statements and behavior classify you as "human waste" and so despicable that more and more normal humans are wondering why it is taking so long for the US government to use knowingly inhumane nuclear weapons in order to ensure the removal of the last of your shame from the face of the earth? Your thoughts are desperate and without any clue of wisdom. How many references to examples of foolery in your Holy Scriptures do you need to be able to let any light into your eyes?! A man offers your countrymen freedom and you fight that man to prevent that very freedom for your friends. A man opens the door for self-respect for your countrymen and you step in front of him, slam the door shut, and murder the man. A woman offers your poor family food and clothing and you not only kill her, you demand all those like her to stay away from your family. So, though you have already far crossed the line in my book, I give you one last chance to answer this question before your chances for breathing I will end, "Who are the victims and who has the self-serving agenda?" You have made your family and countrymen victims of your actions and you are the ones with the self-serving agenda. I have studied and have committed to memory your identifying physical mannerisms and speech patterns. I have studied the fibers of your clothing, the oils of your fingers, the food remnants from your mouth and clothing, your DNA on your murdered, and even the blade fragments of your murdered. I have paid locals to constantly carry and place in their places of business speech analyzers to catch you even a little faster than I would have without them. I know your genetic heritage and the locations of your family members. I am committed to ending your existence. I, with many others, have great resources and have committed my current energies, technologies, and field experience to narrowing my search. Your area of possible location is growing more and more refined. After your arrest, your unmasked shame will grow and grow and you will not be permitted to kill yourself, no matter how much that desire will build within you as time and the reconciliation of your evils will seemingly forever hang before your temporarily opened eyes. The family members and friends you have scarred will face you. After your death, your own family and countrymen will find your shame everywhere and they will be shamed by your past actions. You will have nothing in your last moments and nothing after. See you soon.

41 John Freeman: Oh so true. Wish I could write as could as you. Well Said!

42 I am ashamed to be a moslem, but not anymore I have trown by cooran in to the toilett at th airport, so everybody can go an piss over it. The cleaning man didn,t take it out till yet. He understand the things why this fucking cooran is there. They say: islam the religion of peace. but really is the religion of murders. The american has to trop a nuclear taktik bomb to different arabic cities not caring about the fictims other ways the terrorist are doing it to western cities. Abdullah living in Europe

43 Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and that no man can go to heaven and be with God except through Him (John 14:6). One road leads to God, the rest lead away from Him. Those who follow this one world religion are the enemies of God and will be separated from Him in hell forever (Matthew 7:13-14).

44 I hope americans start kidnapping and beheading innocent Iraqis for this atrocity. Maybe if they know they will kill an innocent Iraqi the same way, they will stop. Death to all Muslims! They are truly the bottom of God's food chain.

45 Your faYouYourYour faithfully faithfullyr faithfullyithfullYour faithfullyy

46 The whole thing started, according to the Bible, when Abraham lacked faith in God, having a son out of wedlock. What we shall learn is that it all has to do with how importance of having faith in God and not push our own agendas, when God has already spoken with us. Be patient. However, God has become so quiet these days.Perhaps, it's the wave pollution, with satellite and other means of transmission having electronic waves interfering with God's waves. Have we interfered with God's messages? Did Jesus die in vain? Why didn't Jesus fight back and kill His enemies? It's Love. Jesus wants to show us that He dies on the cross because He loves us all. He wants us to grow up not just physically, but spiritually. It looks like Jesus has failed to convince many of us completely. 1) Are we still blind to the difference between physical wealth and spiritual wealth? 2) Are we teaching others to love by forcing our ways on others? 3) Are we practicing Christianity? Has Jesus died in vain? Is God's love applicable to current time? All these will come to pass, as no one lives forever on this earth. Can we outgrow our spiritual immaturity and achieve peace? Perhaps, it's too late. Perhaps, we need Divine intervention now before the earth is blown away and we have no more chance to grow spritually through our physical existence.

47 One thing that's not discussed in the Bible was that did Jesus have sex? If not, why not? Why didn't He have a family, be married and have children? He was here for that precious moment to show God's Love to us, leaving behind questions on sex. What is sex to God? Is it a strong bonding mechanism to unite a man and a woman, resulting in creation of more human beings? A healthy and happy baby needs both parents to care for and to be shown the way to keep in touch with God. Orgasm is not the end of sex. Parents need job, secure and healthy social environment to bring up healthy and happy children. Implication is so great that the effect can be snowballing till we see the cruel effect of abusing the intention of God on sex -- war. It's far worse than violating the force of gravity by jumping down from the high-rise building. It affects the whole human race. What we lack is the mutual respect of one another and the great regards on marriage, sex and family, regardless of race, nationality, religion.

49 هل هذا الموضوع مطلوب

50 All Muslems are cowards and serve the devil. They cover thier faces because they are COWARDS and not of GOD. If you were of GOD why would you be in fear of covering your faces? It is clear that God is not helping you. If here were you would be victorious. You are NOT victorious. You are being beaten like women. Those you take hostage and kill are helpless. Why don't you face off with weapons and see who wins. Fair is fair. Must we wipe you off the face of the earth? Must we drop a nuclear bomb on Mecca? Must we? Americans are simpathetic people they will hear your compaints and force the US Government out of Iraq. However, when you perform terrorist acts you play into mens hands. Start thinking like wisement and not like morons who are without knowledge.

51 could you give me you site in arabic. thank you

52 Believe me people , Islam is not like this

53 Roaa you said that they are in fair because they covered theyr faces. Why does the iraqi police who is brought by the US Goverment also covering theyr faces. The us is in fear using helikopter. They are in fear to faces this army faces to faces. This army is fighting and not only take hostage!!!

54 The anti-war nuts keep on believing that our occupation in Iraq is wrong and causing all these senseless beheadings, killings of civilians, etc. Is anyone that stupid to believe that that wouldn't be happening anyway had Saddam still been there? -quote from above If the US wasn't in Iraq, how would terrorists kill Iraqi's for working with the US occupying forces? Seems a bit tricky. Also, if your trying to say that a war on Iraqi soil isn't causing more Iraqi deaths than Saddam was look a few statistics sometime. Saddam was a brutal, vicious dictator; like HUNDERS OF OTHERS in the world, many of which we still support. Does anyone think Bush STILL lied to us when he said Saddam had WMD? I believe that those explosives could've been used to make WMDs, hell you gotta start somewhere -another quote from above What manner of mystical alchemy would you use to transform explosives into uranium/plutonium, posinous gases, or viruses and bacteria? (I'm using the definition of the term weapons of mass destruction here, in case your not) Why don't you face off with weapons and see who wins. Fair is fair. -1 more quote The average Iraqi terrorist is as well equipped as a US marine or infantryman? If thats true then we're in for a world of hurt, they're doing enough damage with soviet era russian weapons and stolen arms.

1 i agree with you. They do believe that if kerry wins they have won something in this war. But who really cares what they belive. These people are so driven with hate. That they would take anything as a victory at this point.

2 "But who really cares what they belive. These people are so driven with hate. That they would take anything as a victory at this point." Wait, are you talking about the Democrats or the terrorists here?

3 Whoever wins the election....Bush or Kerry.....these pussies are still going down NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES And that's the bottom line

4 No Jef G. I beleive it was for the Conservatives.

5 I wish you guys were right, but I think John Kerry has an unrealistic--even dangerous-view of how to fight the GWOT. As far as I can tell he wishes to seperate the Iraq war from the GWOT. It may be the case that Iraq was not initially tied to the GWOT, but it now is. Trying to seperate the two is moot. It has been mooted by the Army of Ansar al-Islam, Tawhid and Jihad, The Islamic Army in Iraq, Iraqi Hezbo'allah, etc. The two wars are the same war. For John Kerry to claim otherwise is unrealistic. He does not have the stomache to see this thing through.

6 "As far as I can tell he wishes to seperate the Iraq war from the GWOT. It may be the case that Iraq was not initially tied to the GWOT, but it now is." Not true. John Kerry has always maintained that Iraq is not a part of the GWOT, well, at least since he lost his backbone in the Democratic Primaries. Iraq has always been tied to the GWOT based upon Saddam housing and funding terrorist operations. It is only the spin after by the media and Kerry that many Americans see it as a difference.

7 I agree, Chad, but I also think it is reasonable to hold that invading Iraq was not the right thing. Why? Because the terrorists Saddam were funding might not have directly threatened us (emphasis on 'might'). However much I disagree with that initial position, I think it is reasonable. On the other hand, events have taken that original reasonable position to the realm of the unreasonable. Whatever reasons for going to war, the war NOW is part of the GWOT. There is NOW no more room to differentiate.

8 Ah, but Rusty, surely it didn't escape your notice that it's much easier to lay the smack down on Iran and Syria when you have bases of operations in Iraq as well as Afghanistan? Iraq is a means to an end, not a goal.

9 True dat.

10 This is idiotic. They think Bush is a coward for putting them on the terrorist list. And they think Kerry is a coward for criticizing Bush for taking too long to put them on the terrorist list. Who ever runs this blog obviously can't be trusted to tell the whole truth.

11 Yes ponte. Yes. These people cannot be trusted. The truth is being manipulted. That the truth would be manipulated in the final days leading up to a U.S. election is UNBELIEVABLE! I, for one, am knocked senseless by the betrayal of trust and corruption of our public discourse. Seriously. I've been knocked senseless. I've got no sense. None.

12 Figures. Awhile back,they have a group over there working for "kerry for president." Of course they want Bush dead; they fear him. As well they should but with Kerry in office, they'll have full reign. Made me sick to know they had a group over there, an office over there, that was trying to get Kerry into office "Iraqi's for Kerry" I believe the name is - what a load of shit. Like I've said before, if Kerry ever gets elected, we are in deep shit. ~Cindy

13 Jeff - the answers are the terrorists - not democrats or replublicans..........ah dah!!!! The terrorists want Kerry to win and they want him to win because they are afraid of Bush and Kerry won't follow through as Bush had done and that's pretty damn clear. (see above post) Iraqi's for Kerry, doesn't necessarily mean "Iraqi's" for Kerry but more like Terrorists for Kerry. What Rusty wrote was clear, concise and understandable. TERRORISTS WANT KERRY IN OFFICE. Delboy, one can only hope that if Kerry by some ungodly miscalculation was elected, that he'd continue the administration's work but no one, not even the terrorists see it that way. They are so afraid of Bush and think of Kerry as a wimp, they figure if he wins, they have full reign including coming here. Talk about the sending the wrong message at the wrong time and wrong war. Not only will he screw this up, he'll screw us up too and give them a better chance of coming here to do terroristic activities. You forget that during the Clinton years, Kerry voted for a unilateral invasion on Iraq. I don't know how many people keep forgetting that. They believed he was a dangerous man and had to be taken out. During those years with clinton, he dropped the ball so many times and did not pass on that information to the new president coming in (bush) that he got thrown in his lap something he was not aware of - and that's not right by any means. Kerry will be soft on the global war on terror and he will cause more allies to leave than all the ones he keeps discussing. The man is dangerous on all fronts, as is his wife, whom they say is his downfall to being president. "Who ever runs this blog obviously can't be trusted to tell the whole truth." Ponte Ponte you couldn't be more wrong. If you knew Rusty at all and been with him a long time as I have, this is one place I can go to to get the truth on all matters. So before you go putting this blogger down, start from the beginning and read through, you'll find this blog to be one of the absolute best on the entire blogospere, so if you don't know what you're talking about - don't talk. Start reading, start reading from his old stuff to his new stuff and you'll find exactly that Whom ever runs this blog obviously can indeed be trusted to tell the whole truth every single time. ~Cindy

14 Firstbrokenangel - Wake up! we're already in deep shit...

15 I mean come on... u People really need to wake.... It's one thing to have a backbone..But it's another to say when your wrong.. and this Iraq thing has gotten worst. We are not winning anything.Im not saying that these sons of b**** dont deserve to die because they do. All I'm saying is. The media is making it look like we are really doin something. but the reality is we're not. It has gotten worst over there and as long as we have station's like Fox and Bush. It's going to stay that way. We dont even have all the Allies we had 4 years ago. Wake up

16 First of all don't think I'm just saying just for the sake of the scene.Also I do not support neither Bush nor Kerry for their policies..doesn't "mean" much for me..cause I'm not from US and that doesn't mean I hate America. ***************************************************** Come to the point: This post updated by the terrorist group is surely questionable. Look at the timing of the post..Bush would be smiling by now..at least some %( whether 5 or .005 it still counts )of the voters will change their mind whether to vote for Kerry. In fact the exsistence of these terror groups are one of the "aces" or you can catalyst for Bush regaining his 2nd term...? The public isn't bothered about the casualties iraqi public is facing ..only if westerners are targeted these issues are raised.Just the comments by some people like "nuke the damm whole place " just shows that how one sided selfish minded people can be. Anyway the whole truth will be out in about 10 yrs +..by that time a whole new generation will be there least interested about the "truth" while we the present generation might discuss with alot of "ohh's " really's" shittt'ss..in whispers.... Sad but true ******************************************************* Bottom line is the whole secarios going aorund for the past year is just a eye opener of what politicians (applies to all countries) will do for the gain of power and so called "secuirty"

17 "Come on now people. Wake up." - says Iraq Bring in the clowns Rusty. Oh, wait, you already have. Has anyone caught that special that appeared last night on the "Bush Channel?" How in the world do some of you people (hint: see above) know what reality is inside of Iraq? If you listen to the media, you think it's Armageddon. If you listen to the soldiers, you think it's tough but things are improving. Now I ask you, would you take your news from a source that is dependent upon ratings to make their living (violence = ratings) or take your news from the people doing the work every day? I rest my case.

18 Good point, Chad...just breeze on over to the "Ken Bigley" blog and skim over some of the comments made by soldiers who were there! The bleeding heart lib's are still crying for "facts" and "truths" but when they are given full blown accounts of soldiers that are THERE and KNOW what's going on, they dismiss it as "rubbish" and will forever call the Iraq invasion illegal. whatever it is or was, FACT is we are there NOW...whatever mess was made or not made initially, we MUST defend ourselves. The terrorists are killing their own Iraqi civilians!!!! How can the anti-war people say that they are getting even with us for invading their country when they themselves don't give a shit about their people???? Iraq(and other mid east countries) have always been a threat, yet the Bush bashers continue to say that we were lied to, blah, blah, blah. We weren't lied to. We were just told the wrong reasons for the invasion.

19 And with this post, I see you aren't really serious about any of these subjects. By the way... still waiting for a reply regarding "Kerry's worst lie."

20 In 1971 I and many other Vietnam vets decided that Kerry was a bullshit artist and traitor. I still think so. The man has done nothing his whole life except play the political card. He stands for nothing. If the voters had listened to Kerry during the reign of the peanut farmer the hostages would still be in Iran. The Islamic terrorists and their supporters have figured him out. Kerry has their full support. What amazes me, is that many Americans still haven't.

21 DELPHIGUY: Congrats, you noticed too. It's hard to focus on the big picture when so many rats are chewing on your toes.

22 In the big plan we shouldn't forget about our future best friend. The Russians. They're tougher than the French.

23 IRAQ: If you call this deep shit, what would you call the Civil war, WW1 and WW2. We've now lost over 1000 men in a year. Most of these men were killed in cowardly sneak attacks. We have fought wars where we lost over 20,000 in a day in brave battle. America never turned then and won't now. When the average American finally gets pissed off (and they aren't yet) we'll stomp these Islamic sissys out of existence.

24 It is going to take a long time to change attitudes in the middle east. After all these folks have been wiping their ass on their left hand for at least ten centuries.

25 Nay! It will be quick once we teach them what soap and water is used for.

26 greyrooster, ummm who isnt tougher than the french? I know five year olds who eat paste, and will be making thier first colored construction paper thanksgiving day turkey's this year, and cry when they trip on the carpet who are tougher than the french.

27 In the US a few children grow up wimpish and cowardly, like the French. They become university professors. Like the French, they consider their own opinions to be more important than the genuine knowledge of people on the ground, with real life experience. Like the French, they are ignored by people who have important things to do.

28 Another excellent profession for people who take themselves far too seriously, is journalism. As a journalist, you not only report the news, you make up the news. Who the hell is going to correct you? If you're Dan Rather or CNN, you just bluster your way out of your lies, knowing the attention span of your viewer is just under 11 seconds.

29 Leucius & Rumcrook: Amen, brothers, Amen. There are a few professors worthy of their trade. I agree they are not the majority. Many are in the classroom because they can't hack it in the competitive enviroment. I'm beginning to think professor von nostil is one of the latter.

30 On the flip side, this is now an own goal for the terrorists. proud Americans who were undecided will surely see this as a reason to vote Bush - "we don't want to bow to these pigs".

31 GreyRooster and Bernie, You may be suprised to know that with comments such as the following your ignorance is comparable to those within extremist groups themselves : "we'll stomp these islamic sissys out of existance" and " it's going to take a long time to change the attitudes in the middle east. After all they've been wiping ... " (I can't even bear to reiterate that last part of yours Bernie). Your ignorance disgusts and freightens me. Are you under the impression that Iraq is just a country of all terrorists? Do you think that there aren't families such as your own (may be not as lude as yourself) existing there day to day just struggling to survive ? I think for your own sake (so as not to appear as so ignorant next time in such a sensitive debate) it would really assist you to research further into issues that you obviously don't know much about. When you are willing to group a whole people into one category of such ignorance, don't be suprised when they do the same to you. For we must be the change that we wish to see reflected. That's all it comes down to and hopefully people will understand that someday soon. Also, one more comment to Chad Evans. I'm glad that you think you are getting a true to life account from soldiers. But i wanted to share with you one thing I learned about that. They are only allowed to release so much to you, per military order. It is not accepted to express personal thoughts or opinions while giving a recountance of whats occured while under duty. Now that's not to say that it doesn't happen (for it does). And, I'm also not saying that we should listen to the media for a reliable account of what has been going on in Iraq either (obviously). If you want raw recountances of what its really like over there, search for reports from the people who are involved in the red cross and other such measures over there. This is where you can find the information that is untainted as to consciousness of a publics acceptance or nonacceptance. Let me know if you'd like any links. Peace all, Lolla

32 Oops one more thing ... You can all find the EXACT opposite of this article at Al-jazeera.net/english. This article on Al-Jazeera explains how the terrorists would like to see BUSH in office, and not Kerry. For they say that Bush makes it easy for most to want to fight in Jihad, whereas Kerry may "fool" some into submission.. etc. Please feel free to read it for yourself. Doesn't the irony of it all just tickle you? For, it doesnt matter who they say the "Terrorists want as president" folks. Can't you see that your fear is being used against you to suit another means ?? Fear is the strongest tool for coercing, my friends, (Well ok, fear and religious fervor may have a tie). Tata, Lolla

33 LOLLA: Being a peacenik is fine. But doesn't work. Tip toeing thru the tulips will not stop the ISLAMIC terrorists. Everyone knows that there are descent people in Iraq and other countries that spawn these fundamental terrorits. However, their are nice, loving, descent people in America that were slaughtered by the product of these countries. This is a religious war and those that son't see it are the ignorant ones. A country is responsible for the behavior of its citizens. If they don't stop the terrorists we have to go there at stop it ourselves. Your pie in the sky, goodie, goodie attitude reminds me of Europeans and Americans in 1935. Maybe if we give them a big kiss they will stop. The soldiers are the 1st to be attacked, the first there and yet you say don't believe them. Instead believe someone who gets the info second hand. When my son, presently in Iraq with the 1st Marines tells me how things are that's the way it is. He is not censored in that context. As far as your comment on grouping people together. They allready do. Have you ever been a soldier in a military action zone? Hell no. But you're an expert on the info. Don't believe the ones who are there experiencing it 1st hand. I wonder who's the ignorant one.

34 greyrooster: I have family members fighting in Iraq. I lost a cousin (Marine) there. Your statement about other wars losing 20,00 men in a day: Who the hell cares how many are lost in a day to brave battle. My cousin is still dead and I couldn't care less about the circumstances. I get the info 1st hand and all I hear is how much of a mess it is, with no end in sight over there. Heaven forbid you lose your son, but if that happens I believe you would change your tune soon. All this tough talk about stomping the islamic sissies out of existence. You lose a son and my guess is you put on sandles and start singing Koombaya

35 "For we must be the change that we wish to be reflected....." Great point Lolla. People read this....but do not consider it. They are too angry. Nothing will change.

36 Hello, can't help but reply. "How in the world do some of you people (hint: see above) know what reality is inside of Iraq? If you listen to the media, you think it's Armageddon. If you listen to the soldiers, you think it's tough but things are improving. Now I ask you, would you take your news from a source that is dependent upon ratings to make their living (violence = ratings) or take your news from the people doing the work every day?" I take my news from Iraqi friends -- the normal little people who are seldom heard on the news. According to what they say, are things better? In the sense that technically they have more freedom and a different type of hope. But at the same time, many are starving, they live with post-traumatic shock disorder, terrified to go to the store, terrified to step outside, the women hardly leave their homes (of their own volition) for fear of the streets, people have little hope for economic security or the fulfillment of basic needs, over 100,000 (estimated) of their innocent sons and daughters have died in a war that they didn't initiate or ask for. That number doesn't include the wounded, doesn't explain how overworked and understocked the hospitals are, how so many can't afford treatment anyway, how mothers and fathers have watched their children be blown to bits in front of their eyes. There was great violence during Saddam's rule but it was more focused and hidden, some say they'd prefer that type. So in the end, hopefully, we all pray, it will work out well. But that's not guaranteed. As for now, there are places in Iraq where the inhabitants have to walk around in foot-high sewage. And contrary to public thought, Muslims are highly meticulous about hygiene. Then again I'm a Muslim-American, the veiled type that so many believe has been brainwashed into subservience simply because I cover my hair. So it's dubious whether or not other Americans want to trust me. I also don't trust Bush /or/ Kerry, I think we're in trouble either way. But Bush has gotten us into more trouble than needed, though no one knows how it will pan out in the long-term. Hopefully well. So far the track record hasn't been good. Kerry is a clean slate, but he comes with no guarantees. The one thing pointed out by Lolla that I think is America's greatest weakness is ignorance over how terrorists think and infiltrate. The leaders wait for the impoverished and undereducated to fear Western cultural and political imposition. That part comes naturally, America does it simply by being a Superpower, by considering itself the 'world's policeman'. Then they find easy recruits. It's a fluid movement -- we may have killed 75% of the former leaders, but new ones have replaced the old in every instance. Approach terrorism in the wrong way and it's like cutting a worm -- try to kill one by slicing it in half and you have two. Terrorist leaders play on the suffering of other Muslims, play on the horrific life most Iraqi's and Palestinians are forced into, play on some unheroic historical events such as the 1953 CIA overthrow of Mossadegh Mohamed in Iran, America's initial support of Hussein, oppression in Chechnya, imbalance between rich and poor... by pointing to America's (and Britain's) faults while conveniently denying their own, and get the masses to feel so angry and outraged--not from religion but from the feeling of oppression--that the number of terrorists explode even while we're exploding hundreds of thousands of Muslims and several thousands of our own country men. Again, I pray that in the long run the war on Iraq will be a highly beneficial strategic advantage for all well intentioned people, but as things look at this point in time, we're tangling a very complicated web around us.

37 i have to agree that it's unclear exactly how the IRAQ situation will turn out, but regardless, I can't vote for Kerry; he just simply looks too much like 'Snidely Whiplash' when he is speaking, sorry.............

38 I have a solution to peace in the Middle East.... Nuke 'em all. That would solve everything.

39 i want e-mail adress of fozi amear

41 hallo,my question is how come you keep calling pepole hoo figth for there contry (terrorist)and the man hoo kill more pepole in afganistan and irak.MESTER BUSH. for you bush,the dog blair,and all thee contry that help killing inocent pepole in irak and afganistan and every were, your dag is coming too ,you think you going too last for ever.Well think twins

42 Number 1, The terrorists are murderers and they are not fighting for their country. They are not even Iraqis. Saddam Hussein was the biggest weapon of Mass destruction. Number 2, the terrorists are not fighting for Allah, Allah and God are the same person. The terrorists are fighting for Satan. They can say what they want but they are all going to hell. The Freedom fighters (US, UK & other supporters or free will and the Iraqi people) are the only ones trying to help. The terrorists are the ones killing innocent people who want freedom. Number 3, Yes, John Kerry winning would have told the terrorists they are winning. Number 4, Nuking the Middle East will not solve everything. I know a lot of people from the Middle East and they are not bad. There are a lot of nice people in the Middle East. Just look at those Iraqi men who told the terrorists to get out of their country. They said they would kill Zakawi if they seen him. Number 5, Zakawi is nothing but a coward. I bet he's pissed off because the US cut off his Playboy channel or maybe he doesn't have a penis. He obviously doesn't have balls. Not everyone in the middle east is brainless like Zakawi only he dumb ass followers. Number 6, To any terrorists who are reading this column. You are totally wrong. Look at all the charity workers who are being kidnapped and murdered. Like the leader of the aid organization and the 4 missionary people drug through the streets. All they were trying to do is help the people. Plus what are you affraid of if the Iraqi people want an election? Are you affraid because you will lose your jobs? Anyone who supports the terrorists are dirt and cowards. Only a coward can kill innocent people and hide behind a religion. Musslims are peacefull people. It is totally disgracefull that these cowards and pussies are defaming a good people just because they are hatefull losers. Allah is against killing. Satan is the only one the terrorists support.

43 i am a muslim brother from pakistan living in united states. i hate mr.bush and his policies and i want to defend my religion and my country. i have opened up a private forum for us brothers to discuss the cruelity of this zionist nation and how to deal with the injustice we receive. feel free to email me. we are located in phoenix, arizona.

44 The sad thing is that no one is realizing that this violence will never stop unless all sides involved agree to it, and grandchidren from all sides of this war will be ashamed to have had such leaders of countries and "freedom" "terrorist" groups considered as their relatives.

45 i wipe my ass with your KORAN

46 There is only one problem. That is the ignorance of people who are so stupid that they have not got the common sense to sit down and talk. They would sooner pick up a gun, make themselves into a human bomb and throw there lives away in a belief that they are doing good, instead of making their lives worthwhile. How much more stupidity are we going to see in this world before we realise we could all live in a happy environment and work together for our already dieing planet and civilisation. So much sorrow for the lives lost in the tsumini and so much love and aid given. Yet, some still willingly pick up a gun and shoot other humans so easily without the thought of family feelings and making themselves guilty of taking away life. Some sick people around I am ashamed to say.

47 Fuck all of you radical islamic motherfuckers. Killing anyone, nevermind innocent people, is against Allah's will. May the heavens rain fire down on all of you and may you forever burn in the fiery pits of hell. Martyrdom is bullshit, there are no virgins waiting for you in heaven. The recent spate of attacks on innocent Iraqi civilians shows the world that your "cause" isn't noble. How noble the cause that targets innocent lives? It is a ridiculous cause which will land all involved in hell. May GOD have mercy on your worthless souls. To hell with you all. Amen.

48 I SPIT ON JIHAD AND THE QURAN I SPIT ON IT TOO I SAY ALL AMERICANS RISE UP AND STEP UP ON THESE ARAB SHIT HEADS CAPTURE ANY ARAB U SEE THAT LOOKS LIKE A ALQAEDA MEMBER AND KIDNAP HIM AND SEND A VIDEO TO ALQAEDA SAYING U WILL BEHEAD HIM IF THOSE TERRORISTS DONT SURRENDER

58 Uh, pull the trigger.

59 Mujahid sniff me show.

1 This is really getting out of countrol. Especially when they behead her (the first female) because right now all she is> Is a victim to be. Like anyone else who becomes a hostage with a video now a days

2 Is there any doubt that the people that would do something like this need to die a horrible, prolonged, painful death? I am thinking maybe peeling them like an onion while being anally violated would be an appropriate way to handle this. Anyone willing to run planes into buildings and kidnap & behead people are willing to die to kill us and all of the people that believe in freedom and liberty. Freedom is on the march, and I will be very glad to see these assholes trampled underneath those of us marching.

3 An own goal for the terrorists whatever they do to her. Such an own goal the conspiracy theorists will say it's a set up, whatever they do with her. Taking an Iraqi who just so happens to be born in Ireland will mean fuck all to Blair. The IRA were more worrisome. To be honest the more i read, the more i see, the more i notice how pathetic a fight these people put up. Ain't the muslims supposed to spread the word of Allah? Well the word is spreading and people ain't liking what they hear.

4 Somewhere I read - maybe here? where there was a bounty on any head that was working for the coalition and for the govt of Iraq and others including humanitarian workers (NEIN) that they are open to kidnappings and beheadings; that everyone is at risk. Someone dropped fliers all over the place and gave so much money to the type of people to be kidnapped. I believe the highest price was $100,000. A way for Zarqawi to get the people involved in kidnapping top foreign aid and business as well as coalition troops. very bad ~Cindy sorry have not been around - been very ill, Rusty.

5 I hope this is the final straw for the Iraqi people who know this woman to be a friend. I pray she is delivered alive and well. If not, I hope that every Iraqi alive turns on these terrorists and marches them straight into some instant street justice.

6 MR BLAIR SHOULD SHUT UP. The psychology of ransom negotiation is simple but brutal. You are far more likely to retrieve intact an object of little worth than golden treasure. And for her kidnappers that is exactly what Mrs Hassan is-an object, a piece of merchandise to be paraded via satellite TV to bid up the price while they wait around for the anguished offers to roll in. Like Kenneth Bigley, Mrs Hassan has fallen beyond our Western power. Her fate will be determined by her kidnappers whose agenda, monetary gain or political blackmail, remains unclear. From the moment of his capture Mr Bigley was a dead man walking. Kidnappers who behead their captives on camera and upload their bloody handi-work on to the internet are not going to be swayed by earnest statements in the House of Commons. From start to finish, Mr Bigley's protracted murder by his kidnapper. al-Zarqawi, was a sadistic torment. It served al-Zarqawi's twisted aim of spreading terror, and exaggerated his limited power. We should not repeat the mistake. But this prime ministerial gagging order should not prevent secret efforts to free Mrs Hassan. The last best hope of saving her is silence and discreet diplomacy.

7 WhatÂ’s this? TheyÂ’re doing women now? WhatÂ’s next, a child? How far will these monsters go? I have said it in past postings, they've already gone too far and the US has been too lenient. It is time for harsh action. If indeed these bastards are hiding in Fallujah as they are thought to be, nuke the effing place and send everyone were they want to go anyway (allah) sooner than later. Send the message that Iran is next and to all other American hating camel jockeys down there, that we mean business and we will not jeoperdize our freedom and security to these rats. Folks do not fool yourselves, if these guys had a nuke, or the power that the US possesses, theyÂ’d use it on with the same consideration given to ants and everybody in the region would be in the streets dancing. This is what scares the shite out of me. I pray for Mrs Hassan as I did for Mr. Bigley, Hensley, Armstrong etc etc and for the future victims because this ain't going to stop here.

8 EXPAT, you're right. These people are savages...what do the anti-war spewers think now? Do they still think that these bastards are doing to get revenge when it's their own fucking people they're killing? People who are there to HELP them and aren't even remotely involved in this invasion???? Whatever the initial reasons were, we need to completely obliterate the place (after we get the US and UK troops out first). To each his own. Let each country take care of their own asses. I'm tired of our country coming to everyone's aid. What good is it doing? It's getting worse....get rid of them now.

9 Rusty, is there a hostage video out of Margaret yet?

10 Never mind, I found it, but when I mentioned its source, the blog would not accept my post! Hint: it's on that grisly site where most of the beheading videos and other gorish scenes are.

11 I hate to say it but, if they kill her, it will just fall in behind those poor kids that were killed by the Chechnyan murderers. Honestly, it wouldn't shock me in the least.

12 Maybe the lesson is we shouldn't CARE. They don't. The Iraqi people could stop this if they cared. Still waiting for the world to get pissed off. Or is the jealous world more interested in defaming America than helping this woman?

13 WILL: It's not Blair's fault. If he doesn't say or do anything the fault finders will still blame him. If not him, then Bush, or Cheney or the guy down the street. Only the Iraqi people can save this women. They need to get out in the streets and holler for an end to this beheading bullshit. Only then will the cowards stop. They can get into the streets to protest everything the government or coalition does. Why can't they get into the streets to protest these horrible, cowardly beheadings? Or do they give a shit? I'm beginning to believe the latter.

14 Aljazeera is aiding the terrorists by accepting these horrible videos and appeasing them by showing them. Aljazeera should be hunted down and gotten rid of as well. As long as these videos are shown around the country and on the internet, the terrorists will have succeeded. I wonder why the iraqi's aren't standing up for their own asses and protesting these beheadings, esp. since they are sawing off the heads of their own people? Are they that illiterate that they cannot pick up a gun or bomb themselves and go after the insurgents? I don't think they give a shit either. All the more reason for us to pull out of there and either flatten them or just leave them to work out their own mess.

15 Once a peacenik or two is killed by these animals, the peaceniks won't be peaceful any longer. Food for thought, but this also shows what a bunch of homos allah worshipers are.

16 Laura, it doesn't appease them it pisses me off to the point of fury to see those videos.

17 That's what I mean! The terrorists WANT to cause a stir in the western civilizations...if we don't react publicly at how horrible these crimes are(and they are, I'm not arguing about that) then maybe they will see that it doesn't affect us(it does, but we don't need to publicly have an outcry about it). When they see that their means of terror doesn't upset us, and we keep this shit off the internet and the media, then they'll see that what they're doing is not going to sway us into giving into them. Hope that made sense.

18 All the bleeding heart libs and anti-war nuts can go bitch to their governments if they think the invasion was illegal. Poor Bush, he was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. Iraq posed a definite threat, hence, Saddam...okay, we got him. Does this mean that he didn't instruct his followers as to where the WMD's are and tell his cohorts to carry on in his absence? I have a horrible feeling about all this...do the peaceniks think for one minute that if we didn't invade Iraq, that it would've been just a matter of time till they attacked us like on 9/11? We may have not even been around to debate this on this blog had we sit back and done nothing. Even though we are there, I still think those WMD's are around somewhere, and unless Bush flattens these countries, they will not hesitate to use them.

19 The problem with this is that we are seeing a woman who was committed to the aid of Iran and its people and the inference is that the Iranians have "bitten the hand that feeds". It's quite possible that it isn't even Iranians that are holding her. This is ISLAM. It's not a country, it's a religion. It knows no geographical boundaries... it just so happens that the pickings are easy in Iran at the moment and the eyes of the world are upon it. I agree with the poster above who says that "the world isn't liking what they hear about Islam at the moment". These arseholes should be thankful that us in the West are far more civilised and reasonable or we could chuck Al Jazeera enough video footage of Muslims being killed and mutilated in as many was imaginable by man to keep their station occupied for the next 100 years. They can keep on kidnapping and beheading but if they think that the terror they are instilling outweighs the resolve we feel to see this through, they should think again. I am from the UK but I urge all of you to back Bush on this one. This war needs to continue, these people out there "doing good" should come home until it's less dangerous. I sympathise with Mrs Hassan (as I sympathised with Bigley, Armstrong, Hensley etc) but let's have a little less altruism... honestly... it gets you nowhere. This war is not altuistic, it isn't about "giving the Iraqii people a better life". It's about making damn sure they don't assist any terrorists to make our life miserable again. And it's a staging point for the inevitable invasion on Iran for ditto reasons. The American Way is Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. The Islam way seems to be death, shackles and the pursuit of misery. Witness any Islamic nation for proof of this.

20 SHIT I HOPE I'M WRONG...I JUST HEARD A NEWSFLASH ON FOX NEWS SAYING THAT MARGARET'S BEEN KILLED. Has anyone heard anything?? Rusty??? Damn, I hope it's not true, but you know, it's inevitable, it WILL happen. Bastards.

21 No, have not picked up on that in the U.K as of yet Laura.

22 I don't think so, I think they were talking about the latest video that has been released of the Iraqi that was working with the Americans? One can only hope! What are these bastards trying to accomplish with these murders? We haven't bowed down to them, do they think if they kill enough people, we would eventually give in? Is that what they're hoping? I don't understand all this.

23 I notice that thru fear the hostages always agree with the terrorists. I guess the hostages hope that by agreeing with the animals they may spare them. They then kill them anyway. Hard for me to get my point across. But if they were anything but cruel killers who enjoy killing wouldn't they spare the hostages after they got what they wanted? Namely, a speech agreeing with the ISLAMIC terrorists. I want it to stop but I want revenge to. Why in the hell can't we just one time act as they do. American service man gets 8 years for humiliating a fucking animal. I'm beginning to wonder about our military higher ups. Sacrifice a American service man so they can look good to the lousy wogs.

24 Do you think that soldier was a scapegoat, esp. since the election is drawing nearer? Does the govt. think that by handing down such a strict sentence that these animals will stop the slaughter? C'mon America, time to get real! He gets 8 fucking years for abusing the enemy???? OMG, what is WRONG with this country? And OJ still walks free! God help us.

25 I say just nuke the whole fucking middle east and call it the united states of glowing oil! Nuke Mecca and Medina this ramalamadingdong or whatever those moon barkers call it. Quit with this stupid foreplay with these islamic retards and start nuking the place.

26 Sadly, Andre's way may be the only way to end this. What else is there left to do?

27 Just realised in my post I kept saying "Iran"... you people know that I meant "Iraq"... Freudian Slip I spose...

28 Red Devil: Iran, Iraq = same difference!

29 Wake up America! Can't you see that the price for abusing Iraqi detainees has been paid already by, NIck Berg,he was executed in retalliation for what went on at Abu Graib. Tawhid Al Jihad said themselves such acts must be paid for in Souls. The Trailer Trash Woman that was seen in all those photos abusing prisonners,''with her thumbs up gesture towards an iraqi detainee cowering cross legged trying to cover his genitals by crossing his knees'', has done more to whip up the so called enemy than a hundred Binladins!

30 No, that stupid woman didn't whip up anything that wasn't already there. What went on in Abu Graib was inexcusable. What is going on in so called retaliation is WAR. What this war needs is an atheist leader - someone with no religious preference. The unfortunate thing, as far as the Western world is concerned is that the USA is in control but has yet to shake from the shackles of Christianity. Drop the Christianity and the war can start to be won. Declare a war on religion... that is what this has become. These sick bastards are not at war with the USA etc... they are propogating Islamic Faith. By being in any way, shape or form religious, you are encouraging these people. When the war simply boils down to objectivity (in this context, the day to day living of man as a species) you will begin to see that religion plays no part in the winning of this war. These people are at least 4 centuries behind the rest of the civilised world. They are that way because they believe in their god. If their god existed, he would have stepped in personally by now. It's all a load of bullshit, when will people realise this? Fuck Allah, Fuck God. And when I die I will be worm food... I won't go to hell.

31 Red Devil: I agree with much of what you say. Two points though. (1) The other religions are a force to help to control the backward gutter religion of Islam. (2) Didn't the commies try to no religion approach? Guns are tools, religion is a tool. They can be used for your cause of against it. Have a good one.

32 What's the big fucking deal about Aba Graib prison. Shit, I've seen films of prisoners right here in America stripped naked and forced to crawl across the floor. Why is everyone making such a big deal about these Islamic faggots. Why isn't anyone attacking the vietnamese for doing worse than that to allied soldiers. Anyone out there ever in the Marine Corp (hurrah) in the sixties??? Remember 1st day in boot camp? Everyone stripped naked and had to stand asshole to bellybutton. What went on in Abu Graib was nothing to what goes on in the majority of countries in the world. The truth is we have too many sissys worried about the care of killers. They're our enemies to the death. Again, who gives a shit about them. Give a shit about the families of the 51 slaughtered Iraqi soldiers. When they're released all they do is go back to the same thing. Read about the poor, picked on Gitmo prisoners. What are they doing after being released. The same fucking thing. Frickin cry babies.

33 WATCHONAMERICA: You're a lot of help. Stupid terrorist loving bastard.

34 How can the world be so fucked up.? The most powerful country on earth has a president that can't even speak English with any fluidity, yet it is his mother tongue. Fuck me when he opens his mouth I cringe as I am on tender hooks waiting for the next howling mistake he makes. One of the worst is when he appears to be trying his utmost to put his brain in to gear, to say something, which he obviously rehearsed only moments previously, but which now on the rostrum fails him utterly and mometarily he has the facial expression of '' aw where the fuck am I, what the fucks all this about any ways, where is that guy Blair? Where's an ally when you need one, yup,there you go, shit how long can I keep up this tight assed phoney American smile before they realise that I'm actualy here to say something meaningful and have just forgotten my lines. The knock out punch is when this sprog of bush mark 1 tries to ad a little humour and in the process looks as dumb as shit! Knows it too! But even tries to hide behind that dumb ass smile, hoping we havent noticed what a cunt this fucker is. The best thing America sould do for us is bump off the Queen, but this time a little more subtle than the way you bumped off of Dianna. Must admit George, your state visit for the most part realy pissed me off, for goodness sakes you sent our King packing in th 18th century because of the ridicule your presidents used to suffer in London at the hands of the aristoctacy. Do you not know that at dinner party's your then president attended in London was oft humiliated and made to feel grosly inferior. Not to mention the tax on Tea which is the reason why coffee not Tea is the national beverage of America. To see you looking like a nervous child in the banquet hall of Buckingham Palace, sat next too the Queen,not knowing quite what to do with yourself, realy was awe inspiring,never before in the anals of time has a president of any state let alone states ever looked such a buffoon. You did redeem yourself somewhat though when just as all the guests were seated, the opening notes of the Star Spangled Banner rang out and you stood up with your wine glass in the air, on your own, as you thought it was a toast to the Queen, then sat down immediately, red faced, realising you had just made yourself look a right cunt! Thank ya George God bless America

35 Greyrooster, looks like you are a bit challenged in the old grey cells departement. I was shocked and appalled at the beheading of Nick Berg, how dare you deduce from my earlier posting that I am a lover of terrorists. You obviously havent read it properly, and need to read it again, any reasonable minded person can see that this is one persons viewpoint very moderately expressed. English is obviously not your first language or your forte, though Red Neck probably is. You know anybody can swear and rant and rave. I know not one person with any degree of intelligence that chooses to do so. By swearing you simply show lack of imagination in expressing yourself adequately. It is this which frustrates you and amuses me immenseley. You then resort to swearing instead of pickilng up a book and trying to better yourself. I am truly sorry to be the bringer of bad news but this shows very low breeding. Thank goodness you are on that side of the pond and not this. To live within a thousand miles of you would be unbearable. Nobodies opinion matters but your own. If anyone disagrees with you you take it as a personal attack. You are low breeding personified . I hate to be the bringer of bad news but you realy are quite sick and should seek professional help at the earliest of opportunities. You are obviously homophobic too judging by your reference to homosexuals as faggots. This in itself shows possible latent homosexual tendencies, long supressed, by an individual who spent his/her formative years in an environement where males express their masculinity by hating everything homosexual. One could be forgiven for thinking that you probably live in on a trailer park in Utah, watch t.v.24/7, live on welfare and live in an abusive relationship. Thankyou for being the source of much amusement to me, bless you for that. Yours Faithfully, watchonamerica,London,England. 15.50 p.m British Time - Tuesday

36 Breaking News : Just recieved email from swenpark that an Aid worker has been beheaded in Iraq. 11 am standard time statement released stating that ''God is great'',that ''there is no god but Allah'', no one group has claimed responsibility. Waiting to get full translation, group has stated that a video will be released soon and posted on the interenet. These goons claim that all infidel dog americans and british buldog poodles can learn that until they leave holy Moslem lands death shall become them. It advices all Moslems to stay away from these dog infidels lest they become as them and any Moslem that chooses to forget his religion and mixes among them shall be spited at the neck{euphemism for beheaded). All Christians, Jews , Hindus and Buddhists are the inmates of hell! More news soon as I get it

37 The kidnapping of another British citizen brought forward the observation from the Prime Minister that this shows "the type of people we are up against". Indeed it does, but it also provokes the more pertinent observation that Mrs Margaret Hassan had been working in complete safety in Iraq for two decades prior to the coalition invasion.

38 WATCHONAMERICA: The statement faggot bothering you so much tells me much. Faggot. Yes, Thank goodness I am on this side of the pond. It seems that many on the other side have already began the process of giving in the the ISLAMIC fanatics. WatchonAmerica, Just the name tells me what you're about. Americans have to much class to title themselves WATCHONENGLAND. Mind your own business and keep your mouth off of America and Americans wil not attack you. I do not live in Utah, but I do love the people there. As far as the welfare comment. I can and have bought many like you. Shitheads who mind others business come cheap. Glad you live in London, maybe the 300,000 cameras on the streets there can keep an eye on you. The low breeding comment. Better check with your mother on that one. She probably told you about the trailer parks from personel experience. I need a new handle. How about WATCHONFAGGOTSINENGLAND. Now go hold your rag headed boyfriends hand.

39 Yes, this is reminicent of Bigley, it looks like the gay virgin camel lovers will be beheaded a woman soon. I give a day or two and we'll be howling for the fosilized piece of holyshit called the cabba to be nuked.

40 Oh land of the free, quite the contrary laim brain, but thank you for the laugh, your hate filled biggotry makes you look such a wanker. You make so many assumptions based on ignorance and hate,one has to feel sorry for you. It is my business what goes on in the world as much as it is yours or anybody elses. The difference between us is that I would be the first one to defend your right to free speach,so long as it does not insite hatred of others based on their race, religion or sexual orientation. Just to educate you a bit, every homosexual male or female was the product of a heterosexual egg and heterosuxual sperm. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it! Your paranoia about homosexuals makes me think they occupie your every waking or should that be wanking thought, or perhaps thought of a wanker, one has to be conscious that we are divided by a common language. I had intended to post a message completely without reference to you or this subject as unlike you it is not my every waking thought. However when I saw your posting I felt compelled to respond. You are so proud to be as you call it American, the only true Americans to be correct are the very indigenous peoples your forefathers and mine,for the most part,wiped of the face of the map,in a rather conveniently for the likes of you - largely unrecognised wholesale genocide. The 'lot' of those that survived was to be placed on ever reducing reservations in Canada and the US , a humilliation for such a wonderful civillzation that were and are the true custodians of North America. They took from the land only that which they needed. I have a lot of respect for all indigineous peoples throughout the world. Unlike the greedy self serving Caucasians the North Amercan Indian lived in harmony with the earth, seeing all life as intertwined, interconnected. Yes they had their tribal wars and rightly tried to defend their homeland of America for many years. Thank you once again for being the source of much amusement to me, you realy are quite a cad, God bless America

41 Just for the record, there are some of us in Britain who side squarely with what the Bush/Blair administrations are doing in Iraq. For those of us whom have studied a bit of history (and obviously watchonamerica has not) we are witnessing the rise of a disturbing ideology, much like fascism or nazism. When faced with such an abominable thing as islamic extremism, a somber verse from the famed American poet, Walt Whitman highlights a feeling felt by many: "Re-examine all you have been told...Dismiss what insults you Soul" Therefore, listen not to the chorus of critics, and do not sit idly by while heathens such as Zarqawi plant seeds of doubt and discord into the feeble minds of ones such as watchonamerica. Stand up and support America and Britain, as eventually, due to our vigilance and sacrifice, we will someday have a stable, safe and democratic middle east. History will vindicate the drastic actions taken in Iraq....mark my words.

42 One last thing for that insufferable twit, watchonamerica; the following comment clearly evidences to me that you've not even had the most rudimentary of education in history of the americas: "Unlike the greedy self serving Caucasians the North Amercan Indian lived in harmony with the earth, seeing all life as intertwined, interconnected." American Indians lived in Harmony eh? Some of the bloodiest battles ever fought happened long before any conquistadors of Francisco Vazquez de Coronado ever set foot in the americas. Indian life was tribal, with human sacrifices to various gods common. Sound familiar? Oh, and don't forget the scalping. Compassion and tolerance are both advents of a civilised society. The American Indians had lived century upon century with little progress and near constant tribal warfare. Again, history has vindicated the act of colonizing the Americas. Iraq will be no exception.

43 Jeff, my pet hate is wannabee American Brits like you that use improper English with an American slant on it. If you want to be American go and live in America, get the fuck out of here! To quote you ''the following comment clearly evidences''. What kind of English is that? Evidences does not exist in the English dictionary. Unless the one you hold is a Yankee one. And it was Vasco de Gamma you twit not Vasques or coronado you bollocks! You know shit about any history least of all the Americas.Fuck the Monarchy, Fuck Bush and Blair and Fuck you, you un read piece of shit. Oh and another thing, whatever dictionary you have,get it out and use it for fucks sake can't you, cause your posting is full of errors. You have either spent time stateside or watched too much Starsky And Hutch. Grow up,that shit was made in Toronto not N.Y.C,you pathetic sad wanabee American. The only way there'l be peace in the middle east is if the Americans stop funding Israel and the Israelies Give back Palestinians their land Which they stole in 1948 saying okay guys this is our land it says so in the Torah,look right there,5000 years ago this was our land and we are re claiming it. Before the hollocaust hollocaust there was no problem with the jews and Arabs they lived along side each other for centuries, the Jews were not oppressed. They have brought upon palestinians the same suffering the Jews suffered under the Third Reich. Thats what caused all this fundamentallist backlash,Zionism and corporate America. Yes these beheadings are sick and inhuman but the palestinian cause is now and always has been a Moslem cause. Islam is not a country, it is a global force, this is Jihad, a global jihad,for every terrorist killed another will take his or her place, and another and another and it goes on and on until America realises it and Israel are the root cause of all the problems in the world regarding Islamic Fundamentalists. They alone fuel the fire of hate that encourages these sick bastards to on to do their dastardly deeds.Wake up and smell the coffee Jeff, before its too late!

44 I am so sick of these d*mn rag heads. I have had it! I say nuke those b*stards and be done with it. I used to care, now I am angry. Let them keep it up and ALL of America and the world will agree with my comment VERY soon. There will be a waist land in the Mid-East to remind them all of the STUPIDITY that was once displayed in Iraq!

45 I am so sick of these d*mn rag heads. I have had it! I say nuke those b*stards and be done with it. I used to care, now I am angry.

46 Posted by: watchonamerica at October 28, 2004 03:43 PM Oh land of the free, quite the contrary laim brain, but thank you for the laugh, your hate filled biggotry makes you look such a wanker. ------------ Lets see, laim brain? don't you mean "LAME BRAIN" Also, biggotry is correctly spelled "BIGOTRY" Your lack of historical knowledge is only matched by your inability to spell simple words.

47 Not for nothing Watchon, but for someone exulting the use of a dictionary your posts are filled with errors. For example, your October 29th 7:09PM post consisted of the following inaccuracies: American (I between the r and c) Americas (capitalization) Civilized (not s, z) Evidences (is a real word in the dictionary) Vasquez (with a z) Coronado (capitalization) ThereÂ’ll (two ls) Israelis (no ies) Holocaust (one l) Jews (capitalization) Palestinians (capitalization) ThatÂ’s (need an apostrophe here) Fundamentalist (one L) Realizes (with a z not an s)

48 we must eliminate the entire race

49 WATCHONAMERICA... I proudly serve my country! I take to offense the fact that you are so willing to bring up the fact of how North America came to be, yet if I remember history correctly was not the british a colonial ruler, a country that has also suppressed many throughout the world...please do not bring up the atrocities at which we have commited when you are just as guilty...just ask the scottish people and irish you still suppress today.....as far as living on this side of the pond I AM PROUD OF IT for there is no other country I would rather be associated with in this modern world. And I would die defending her beliefs...but the question should be....would you die for yours?

50 www.fromthewilderness.com Im afraid its all a lot bigger than 'We're bringing freedom to the world!' and 'They're all terrorist supporting ragheads that hate our freedom!' When will you pathetic children realise that life is not black and white. Your country are not the White Knights and the Middle East is not the evil dragon. Perhaps if, not just your people, perhaps if their people as well, if every single person on this planet, realised long ago that life is a chessboard, that you, we, are the pawns, and people with so much power, influence and money it is disgusting, are the Kings, Queens and Bishops, that you are simply playing the part what your controllers want to to, which at the moment is to shout and cheer patriotically at every dicision they make that brings us all closer to the end, perhaps if we all realised that long ago we would not now be standing at the fucking brink, staring over the abyss into the face of anihilation. Or perhaps not. Who knows. All i say is take a long fucking look at what is to come soon, within the next few years, and maybe decide not to cheer when your tanks roll into to Iran, or Syria, or North Korea. And be prepared for what will happen next, when China comes. Enjoy the future you, we, have all allowed to come true, i know im not going to much. Perhaps you could start by wondering when the idea of locking people up without trial, torturing them, and holding them for years in a concentration camp, will be changed to include not only terrorists, but say someone who happens to enjoy smoking a joint after work, alcoholics, gays, mexicans and blacks as well as all other races that are not white, and other 'undesirables' as well. It astonishes me how this exact storyline has played itself out twice in the last century, and again we are falling for it. Do you think the German people knew of the horror to come when their armies invaded Poland? I think Einstein summed it up nicely. 'I know not with what weapons World War Three shall be fought, but World War Four will be fought with sticks and stones.' Enjoy it people, because we are all responsible for this.

1 We all know your a Republican. But does every blog this week have to be a Kerry thrashing. Stay with the Puppet movie comments they make more sense

2 Am I the only one. But it seems to me like it's not called the War on terror. It's called the War On Iraq. and this war is never going to be won as long as we are over there. Those people look at it as though we are now invading their country since Saddam is gone. And no matter how many mystery men we name (osama , Zarqawi) they are always gonna hate us. There's no way we can win... oh yeah unless like your boy said we (Stay on course and they will see the light eventually)

3 Nice one, Rusty. You've even brought in some swamp rats! IraQ: The war in Iraq is part of the War on Terror. The problems we are having in Iraq have less to do with Arab resentment towards America than Iran's fear of American intervention in their nuclear designs and the U.N. hierarchy's fear of being exposed as the larcenous frauds they are.

4 Back off it's Rusty's blog he can say anything he wants to...we are uninvited guests. Iraq, I agree it is the war on terrorism, and as this blog stated, we now know that terrorists are not just limited to "Osama's group"...that they are in a lot of countries, not just Afghanistan, etc. Had Bush said we were going to Iraq to get the terrorists hiding out there, I think there wouldn't be all this Bush bashing. He used the wrong reasoning, to find WMD, or oil, or to free the people whatever. Whether they be in Osama's group or Zarqawi's these towelhead terroristic bastards are all the same and must be snuffed out. BTW, everyone has strayed so far away from the war in Arghanistan, no one says whether or not we illegally invaded them...it was just when we went into Iraq that all this "illegal invasion" business started.

5 Senator Kerry referred to ricin as a biological weapon today. I suppose it sounds like "rice" and thats a plant and therefore biological. It is a pedantic complaint but one that would be a blasted across the left-hand side of the blogosphere if President Bush had made the same mistake. "He's stupid." "He's Hitler." the people in the pink tanks and clown heads would say.

6 Sorry, I got distracted by the dolts who wrote the first two comments up there. My point is that Senator Kerry is incompetent to run a war on bin Laden or a war on terror.

7 Amen flea. And Laura, I would just add that you are "invited guests". Also, I would also add that part of me agrees with IraQ. I'm not sure that there is anything we can do to get those people to like us. On the other hand, I don't care if they like us. What I care about is if they share our goal of killing the Islamofascists.

8 Hi Rusty, sorry to spam your comments here. Apparently ricin is prohibited by both the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) and Schedule 1 of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) so is considered both a chemical and biological weapon. So I will just shut my big mouth.

9 Damn Flea, Spam away.

10 Whether Zarqawi's dead is not the point...look at the latest kidnapping! There will still be his cohorts to carry out the dastardly deeds of kidnapping and beheading innocent victims. Unfortunately, I have a nagging feeling he's still very much alive.

11 I can't wait to get deployed!!! I would love to be the one that puts a bullet right between Zarquawi's eyes while he squirms and begs for mercy with his neck underneath my boot. The people that think that Kerry has the stomach for this are living on a special kind of drug. I would invite Mr. Zarquawi to come on out and face me and my cohorts. Make sure to bring some friends and a falafal, you are gonna be awhile. It is gonna be great to work our way around the world kicking the ass of the people that think WE are the Great Satan. God Bless America and everywhere that freedom loving people live.

12 Right on, David! I will pray for you! Go to Ken Bigley's beheading blog, where anti-American Brits seem to regale in bashing Bush and America for its so called "illegal invasion". As far as I'm concerned 9/11 was an "illegal invasion", Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, they're all the same to me. Read their comments, it's really sickening to see such non-support of our troops. Take care.

13 David, you rule. God speed.

14 Got news for you guys. They hated (jealous of) us long before we invaded. Iraqi's that like us? About 50% of those we allowed to move here.

15 I'm still trying to find out who gets to say if a war is illegal or legal. I do know that the guy who wins is always right.

1 Imagine that!!! The people selling their souls to the Arabs in Iraq would be piss poor soldiers, ignoring people coming and going from an ammo dump that is being used to supply terrorists to kill US Soldiers. I think the best way to handle this is to encourage the Germans to re-invade France and then let them fend for themselves. Right be fore we do that though, we should move all of the graves of those brave US Soldiers that saved them the last time they got bent over and taken for a ride. Good riddance to the French, the UN, Kofi Annan and the liberals.

2 It was so much easier to figure this stuff out when we were just arming them ourselves. Damn foreigners meddling in our affairs.

1 Rusty, After you've seen Team America this will be even funnier to you. Mean Un threat? Priceless!

2 T minus two hours 'til Team America!

3 Syria is not going to leave peacefully as long as there are Christians that haven't been killed, run out or converted to their stupid religion. If we had any balls back then we never would have let the Islamic shitheads ruin the most advanced county in the area. Remember Lebanon? The financial capital of the middle east. Thanks to Islam their back riding camels. Just the word UNITED NATIONS is a joke.

4 I see that your suffering from ignorance, dont worry tis very common. Firts of all, Lebanon was distabilised due to the large influx of Palestianian refugees that were FORCED out of Palestine by the Israelis. I have nbever come across a race that is more Hostile towards muslims then christian Lebanese and maybe they should blame themselves, or the Zionists they have a hand in everything.

1 ....it doesn't matter WHAT good or evil mrs. Hassan has done in the past: she has euro connections, anglo blood, and she is a socially active WOMAN- all no-no's to "radical Islam". and the extremists are about ethnic cleansing first, politics second.

2 Maybe, but many of the terro-organizations are politically savvy. Scores of hostages have been released because the terros calculated that killing them would not further the cause.

3 See what I mean about these spineless bastards? They don't care that people are over there, trying to help their people, trying to rebuild their cities! That's why I say for us to get the hell out of there, including the UK and whoever else is there fighting with us if they haven't pulled out already. Then, when everyone's home, bomb the shit out of the whole place. No warning, no nothing, just like Japan. Japan don't bother us no more...hmmmm, wonder why? These animals know we're not gonna do that though, so they keep on kidnapping and beheading.......when will it stop?

4 A British soldier serving in Iraq is there to foster the rebuiding of the country. He risks death, an honourable death. A contractor has the same intention, and runs the same risk. A humanitarian worker's beneficent intensions are clear to anyone of good will. If a humanitarian worker is abducted by murderous men, the news evokes our sorrow and sympathy. It also calls for steadfastness. To co-operate in the evil of the kidnappers by seeking to reward them would be to betray whatever good that people such as Margaret Hassan have achieved.

5 What a bunch of spineless pricks!!! There's always a ton of you, holding guns, knives, etc. Put your weapons down and try and behead someone with your bare hands. Oh, I forgot, you fuckin sand, diaper wearing on your head cowards. Your cause is DEAD!!! I agree, bring everyone home, drop an A Bomb on their sorry asses!!

1 "Forget what the politicians are saying--this is not just a war against terrorism it is a war against an ideology". Hmmm... DOH! Why are terrorists terrorists? They aren't just sadists. They have a severely fucked up view of the world and what it requires to live in peace. Namely, we all become devout Muslims and all will be cool. Well, f**k you Mr Muslim Man, I ain't taking my shoes off to enter your Holy Home of Mosquedom. But I'll make sure to wipe my feet on the way out.

2 Rusty: Anyway you can keep this blog so we can continue to track the Boys from Gitmo over a long period of time. I believe it will be a killer for our team.

1 There are Macedonians in the world?

2 what a silly comment. macedonians are not many, not a reason to forget them

3 baf--he was just joking, and yes it was silly--but a joke. Hurray Macedonia!!!!!1

4 Hasn't anyone discovered by now that BAF hasn't a clue about humor or anything else.

5 Hasn't anyone learned that BAF hasn't a clue about anything.

6 FYROM is not Macedonia but the former Yugoslav Rep of Macedonia.The ancient Macedonians were a Greek tribe and its ancient Capitals Pella and Agae are in the Greek provence of the Real Macedonia,

7 O shut up! You greeks are realy boring with proving that Macedonia is greek, there were, there are, and there will be macedonians ever after!

8 fuck the greak they are stupid busterds

9 Macedonia is a country with a history.We are so sorry

10 If Macedonia was Greece and Aleksandar the Great was Greek, then why the fuck he destroy the fucking Greece together with their fucking Olympic games?!

11 I will just send message to all Greek people. Macedonia is state and Macedonians are nation!!! We are the only one!!! Hyrray for REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

12 the guy is right fuck all you greeks cant make your own history so you try to steel evryone elses and we are not a greek tribe greeks are some muslim tribe from paskistan or something

13 the guy is right fuck all you greeks cant make your own history so you try to steel evryone elses and we are not a greek tribe greeks are some muslim tribe from paskistan or something

14 Fyrom as a country is a joke. If it was not Greece they would starve. Nationalism and stupidity is not enough to feed and dress people.

15 You fools first of all its spelled GREEK not Greak . Macedonia has and always will be Greek how much more proof do you morons need. Its based on actuall facts not on theories. Republic of Macedonia hahahahaha never even heard of you. You people are just a few rejected slavs who have no identity and try to steal history from my people. You people seriously need to open your eyes and accept the truth I mean cmon how stupid can you people seriously be? But then again your not Greek so Im not surprised

16 FYROM = 30% unemployement, 500,000 Albanians, Bulgarian speaking, 30.000 Greek jobs, seasonal workers in Greece, monopoly money, 2 flights to Greece per week Greece = E.U country, Nato, first free nation in Balkans, currency = Euro, Language = Mother of languages, Olympic games, 1700 tanks, 400 aircrafts, more prosperous country in Balkans Conclusion. Why do we bother with Fyromanians? Besides Albanians will get them anyway

17 Greece doesn't have the need to steal history from none. If you have a time machine and travel back in time, whenever and wherever you'll land you'll find a GREEK :-)

18 The most important thing that you poor "whatever u are" is that history of FYROM does not exist. USA has implemented a "fake" history at your education in order to make the balkans fight each other and bye weapons. Greece is the mother of all tribes (especially macedonian), thousand of books refer to that. I feel pitty for fyromaniacs because a nation without history always searches for a truth that will never find...

19 Fuk u greek motha fukerz macedonians will neva be greekz u motha fukerz rnt even orthedox if u wer ull have chrismas like all of d ortherdox countryz serbia, macedonia,russia,ukraine,bulgaria all of them have chrismas on d same date but noooo greekz have it b4 wat kind of n orhterdox r uz u ....ill tell u u stoled our history becoz u wana be like macedonians but ulll neva be us so giv it up fukerz

20 The only real greeks are the people south of Athens,anybody from the north is a Macedonian.

21 I always find a forum like this while i search the internet looking for some info on Alexander and i see the same old same old arguments. Have you people (Greeks - FYROMians or Macedonians...beats me)ever consider the fact that you may come from the same ancestors? consider England and Germany - Common background the saxons.It might as well be Greeks and Macedonians - Common backgrond the ancient Hellenians(im not sure if the word is right). You people always look for the differences instead of the similarities. No wonder why Balkans is still a third world territory and WE rule Europe muahaha :p :p Go England "Rooney the great" The only true king today

22 FIRST OF ALL GREEKS ARE ORTHODOX. SECOND I CAN TELL BY OWN EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I DEAL WITH AMERICANS EVERY DAY (I AM A HOTEL EMPLOYEE IN ATHENS )THAT THEY ARE NOT ONLY STUPID THEY ARE MALAKES ALSO .YOU KNOW WHAT MALAKAS MEANS?IF I WANT TO SPEND MY TIME I CAN WRITE A BOOK WITH ALL THE STUPID THINGS I HAVE HEARD.THE ONLY THING IS THAT GIRLS LIKE ME BETTER KNOW BECAUSE MY BALLS AFTER SO MANY AMERICANS ARE HUGE!!!!!!!. BY THE WAY THESE GOES FOR THE GREEKS IF WE SEND 2 F-16 TO ALBANIA AND FYROM YOU THINK WE CAN BURN THEM DOWN? ARE PAPADOPOULE POU EISA?

23 ok if greeks are orthedox why dont you have chrismas on the same date as all of the ortherdox countries tell me that....

24 BECAUSE UNTIL 1923 WE USED THE SAME CALENDAR BUT AFTER 1923 WE SWITCHED TO GREGORIAN CALENDAR.THERE STILL A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE THAT THEY GO WITH THE OLD ONE BUT THE MAJORITY USES THE NEW WHICH IS ALSO THE OFFICIAL.

25 U STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS.....THE BEST THINK WE CAN DO IS TO NUKE FYROM OR WHATEVER THE NAME IS JUST TO HAVE FUNN A LOT OF FUNN....DONT U PEOPLE KNOW THAT U ARE THE SHIT AND THE MUD OF X YOUGOSLAVIA PLEASE FUCK OF WITH THE MACEDONIA STORY U ARE NOT MACEDONIANS U ARE A HUGE NOTHING P S try to learn english you morons

26 Grchki pedershita edni ebete se vo gaz i vratete se vo pichku materin. Like all of you gay pricks know perfect English, LOL. None of you know jack SHIT about history or politics, I hope the Turks fuck you all up and you never see the light of day again, ugly big-nosed hairy mutants.

27 all of you fools- WHO INVENTED THE INTERNET?? - THE ANCIENT GREEKS! YOU WOULD NOT EVEN BE HAVING THIS ARGUMENT IF IT WASNT FOR THE GREEKS! The solution would be- for Turkey, Albania, Bulagaria, Macedonia and Greece to unite and create the 'Balkan alliance' and become the next world superpower, and bring down america to the ground! I come from a goats village of north greece- in the true MACEDONIA- AND I HAVE TO HIDE IN MY SHACK EVERY TIME I SEE ARMED GANGS OF MACEDONIANS CROSSING THE BORDER INTO MY LAND!

28 The Ancient Greeks invented the INTERNET? LOL Um, I don't think so. J.C.R. Licklider came up with the idea of the internet. Alan Turing was first to properly grasp the concept of building a computer in 1945. Hrmm... now let's see... Ancient Greeks in 1945? rofl Licklider and turing don't sound like Greek names to me. Well an alliance like that what you suggested "sounds" ideal to those of us who are sick to death of American intrusion, though not likely to happen anytime in our lifetimes. It'd be more like Greece and teaming up with their brothers in Serbia. Oh, by the way.. those armed gangs are more than likely motherfucking Albanians, who somehow end up being referred to as "Macedonian citizens". They're Albanian, mate So you didn't invent the internet, nor computers for that matter.. but you are known fo human rights abuse. Perhaps your government should try concentrate on doing something about that ( http://hrw.org/doc/?t=europe&c=greece )

29 if you really really really want this to be resolved i suggest you visit freeipods.zoy.org it also has some good stuff on the long standing macedonian-albanian disputes and a good section on blood feud in the balkans. thanx greekpride

30 i always thought greek did eatser an other day u fucker not christmas i love greeks they the best people they like albanians im albanian but i live in greek in a lil village flambouro!

31 the turks are the root of any problem in region! any1 disagree?

32 Greek are all shit cos they wanted to get troy and got it by being bitches on the back. They want to have wars in balkans. They got CAMRIA an Albanian land and Albanian people who had the land can't go back to their houses cos of you sucker. WE beat the shit out of you in TIRANa in football and u still brake our balls. I want all the Albanians to leave greece cos is shitest country in EUROPE, Why no body like u greek motherfucker? U all greek shave once in a month you look like little bin ladens. The albanian goal is to reunite ALBANIA and who gets on our way like greeks will die ond we are willing to protect our land by force and who touch it we are going to kill as many greeks as possible. LONG LIFE TO MY MOTHER LAND, LAND OF EAGLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Well, we greeks are a multi-talented nation who always have been respected in what we did. We satisfied the romans by introducing blew job to them so that's why we alway got well along with the romans. We also fucked the romans in their asses and they liked it. We also tried it with turks but this didn't work instead they fucked us by chopping off our penises. These turkish motherfuckers found this to be too masculin. Anyway, we are the best nation in the work and don't fuck with us greeks because we can be dangerous!!!

DOWN WITH THE RACIST ONCE AND FOR ALL! SUCK MY DIG YOU WEAK LITTLE GREEK IDIOT!!

63 Mongoloids of the world hide - we are on the hunt. This is not racism - racism refers to discrimination between equals - YOU ARE NO FUCKING EQUAL BY DEFINITION. So run and hide ...

64 So you pretend to be a Greek Nazi??? I don't get this men. Greece, has more than 3 1/2 million who do not belong to the aryan race and this is a fact. So my question to you is, against which of the non-white races are you against?? I know many greeks during my studies in the United Kingdom and they looked small, some very dark, others light dark, and might have seen one or two greeks only who had blue eyes and blonde hair. So, your methodology doesn't fit quite well in your own country with the vision of the "Hellenic Nazi Alliance Party". The danger there is that you would have to start with your "Ethnic Cleansing" first in Greece before you reach other Balkan Nations. Your thoughts are very dangerous and meaningless so please be careful what you say there because other have aready a very bad impression of greek people like yourself. A question to you? Why did the Nazis kill so many greeks during the WW2??? As far as I am concerened they have never harmed anyone elso who belonged to the aryan race (ie. Croats, Albanians, Bosniaks - these are non slav nations). Also, if you think you don't like slavs in the balkan, why are so many greeks who marry with Serbs (who clearly belong to the slav race)??? Pablo

65 Greco-Turkish War (1897) The Greco-Turkish War of 1897, also called the Thirty Days' War, was a war between Greece and the Ottoman Empire. Its immediate cause was Greek concern over the situation in Crete, where the Greek population was still under Ottoman control. In late 1896 a rebellion broke out on Crete, and on January 21, 1897 a Greek army landed in Crete to liberate the island from Ottoman control and unite it with Greece. The European powers, however, intervened, and proclaimed Crete an international protectorate. The Greek army retreated to the mainland, where it next attempted to advance northwards into Thessaly and Epirus. In Thessaly the Turks had concentraded six divisions of about 60,000 men under Edhem Pasha, with a seventh division joining a litle later. The Greeks numbered just under 46,000, led by Crown Prince Constantine. The Greeks controlled the sea, outnumbering and outgunning the Turkish navy. In early April Greek troops crossed the border, trying to start an uprising in Macedonia. The armies met at Mati. The Greeks were outnumbered, and retreated past Larissa, which was evacuated. Near Pharsala the Greeks re-established order, and a counter-attack was planned. However, Greek morale failed, and they were only saved because the Ottoman Sultan ordered a cease-fire on May 20. In Epirus, the Greeks numbered 15,000, against 30,000 Turks under Achmet Hifsi Pasha. On April 18 the Turks began bombarding Arta, but they could not take the city. Retreating to Philiappiada, the Turks entrenched themselves. Greek forces counter-attacked but were worsted when reinforcements failed. The Greeks finally retreated on May 15 with heavy losses. Peace was signed on September 20, arranged by European powers. Turkey received a large amount of money as indemnification, and gained a small amount of land on the Thessaly border. This was the only occasion during the century of conflict between Greece and the Turks that Greece was forced to cede land to the Turks.

66 Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) The Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922, also called the War in Asia Minor, and (in Turkey) a part of the Turkish War of Independence, was a war between Greece and Turkey fought in the wake of World War I. The war arose because the western Allies, particularly British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, had promised Greece territorial gains at the expense of the Ottoman Empire if Greece entered the war on the Allied side. These included eastern Thrace, the islands of Imbros and Tenedos, and parts of western Anatolia around the city of Smyrna (current day İzmir), all of which had substantial Greek populations. The 1920 Treaty of Sèvres, which ended the First World War in Asia Minor and divided the Ottoman Empire, assigned all these territories to Greece. Greek troops had already occupied Smyrna and the surroundings in May 1919 under cover of French, British and American ships. Meanwhile the former Ottoman general Mustafa Kemal (later Kemal Atatürk) had formed a new Turkish nationalist government at Ankara on April 23, 1920, which repudiated the Treaty of Sèvres and prepared for war against the Greeks. In October 1920, with the encouragement of Lloyd George who intended to increase the pressure on the Turkish and Ottoman governments to sign the Treaty of Sevrès, the Greek army advanced east into Anatolia with the intention of defeating the Kemalist forces before they were ready to attack the Greek perimeter at Smyrna. This advancement was begun under the Liberal government of Eleftherios Venizelos, but soon after the offensive began Venizelos fell from power and was replaced by Dimitrios Gounaris, who appointed inexperienced monarchist officers to senior commands. King Constantine took personal command of the army at Smyrna. After a Greek defeat on January 11, 1921, allied states proposed to amend the Treaty of Sevrès at a conference in London where both Turkish and Ottoman governments were represented. Although some agreements were reached with Italy, France and Britain, the decisions were defied by the Greeks who initiated another attack on March 27 (Battle of Inonu II), to be resisted and finally defeated by the Kemalist troops on March 30. The unpredictable Turkish victory caused Secretary of War Winston Churchill to withdraw British support to the Greeks. In June 1921 the strengthened Greek army advanced to the River Sakarya, less than 100 km (62 miles) west of Ankara. Meanwhile, the Turkish government at Ankara appointed Mustafa Kemal as the commander in chief. In August, Kemal counter-attacked, routing the Greeks and cutting off their supply lines at the Battle of Sakarya (August 23 - September 13, 1921). The Greeks retreated in good order and still hoped to defend their base at Smyrna. They appealed to the Allies for help, but early in 1922 Britain, France and Italy decided that the Treaty of Sèvres could not be enforced and should be revised. Parallel to their decision, with successive treaties, Italian and French troops evacuated their positions. In March 1922 the Allies proposed a ceasefire, but Kemal answered there could be no settlement while the Greeks remained in Anatolia. In August, after preparations on both sides, the Turks launched a new offensive on August 26, defeating the Greeks at the Battle of Dumlupinar near Afyon (August 30, 1922, celebrated as the Victory Day and a national holiday in Turkey). Shortly after their victory, the Turks captured Smyrna (September 9). The city was burned to the ground (by retreating Greeks according to the Turks, or by Turks, according to the Greeks) and all the Greeks who could not escape by sea were massacred. This started a general fleeing of Greeks from Anatolia. With the borders secured with treaties and agreements at east and south, Kemal was now in a commanding position. The Turks were then able to insist that unconditionally, the Greeks evacuate east Thrace, Imbros and Tenedos as well as Asia Minor, and the Maritza River to be set as the border at Thrace at its pre-1914 position. The majority of the ethnic Greek population of Asia Minor had already fled or been expelled to Greece. Greeks call this the "Asia Minor Disaster". France, Italy and Britain called Mustafa Kemal to Venice for cease-fire negotiations. In return, Mustafa Kemal demanded negotiations be started at Moudania (Mudanya) on condition that east Thrace be ceded to Turks immediately. Negotiations at Mudanya began on October 3, with the Turkish delegation lead by Ismet Inonu, and the Greeks represented by the Allies. When the British resisted, at Chanak on the Dardanelles, Kemal dared Britain to enforce the terms of the Treaty of Sèvres, but Lloyd George backed down. The Mudanya Armistice was concluded on October 11, 1922, with the Allies keeping east Thrace and the Bosporus under occupation, but the Greeks evacuating these areas. The agreement came into force starting October 15, one day after the Greek side agreed to sign it. At the Treaty of Lausanne (July 1923) which concluded the Greco-Turkish War, Greece's withdrawal from Anatolia and east Thrace was formalised. For reparations of the damage caused by the Greek occupation in western Anatolia, Karaagac (a bridgehead in Edirne) was left to Turkey as well (Article 59). To ensure lasting peace, Greece was restricted at some Aegean islands from keeping military forces, similar to Turkey at the straits. In addition, the Italians kept the Dodecanese Islands, which they had acquired from the Ottomans in 1912. There was little to stop Ataturk from claiming western Thrace, which had a large Turkish population, as well. He did not do so because he wished to create a homogenous Turkish state without ethnic minorities; also, this area was lost by the Ottomans before the First World War, and this was defined by international agreements. All non-Muslim Turkish subjects were ensured by the treaty to enjoy equal legal, civil and political rights as Muslims. It was also agreed that all disputes regarding the property and possessions of Turkey and Greece would be in the future settled by an arbitral tribunal at The Hague. One of the most important social consequences of the Treaty of Lausanne was the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey. More than a million Greeks from Anatolia were expelled to Greece, and about 500,000 Turks moved in the opposite direction. The Greeks of Constantinople and the Turks of western Thrace were exempted from this transfer. The exchange saw the abandonment of areas where Greeks had lived since ancient times, such as Ionia and Pontus. Although Greeks sometimes refer to these events as a holocaust or a genocide, and although thousands of Greeks were killed in the course of the transfers, there was no intent on the part of the Turkish authorities to massacre the Greeks, and the great majority of Anatolian Greeks escaped with their lives, if little else. Another result was a violent political reaction in Greece. Military officers seized power in Athens and forced King Constantine to abdicate (see History of Modern Greece). Five senior commanders of the Anatolian expedition were tried for treason and executed. The bitterness engendered by these events lingered in Greek politics for many years. The war made both Greece and Turkey more ethnically homogenous and reduced (but did not eliminate) the areas of conflict between the two countries. It also ended the Greek dream of recreating an enlarged state with Constantinople as its capital (the Great Idea or Megali Idea) and encouraged Greek politicians to concentrate on domestic issues.

67 Hey you fucking greek eating shitty face monsters. There is enough evidence (look above!) that we fucked you in two major wars, so shut the fuck up there is nothing and nothing you ever never will compete with us Turks you ugly son of the bitches. Don't you fucking get it, you are nothing and you never be anything until downfall of this planet you shit little greasy greek bastards!!! A third war would mean that we would completely wipe you out, you fucking son of a bithes. Even our american Allies hate you because they know who you really are, namely USELESS in anything!!! To Hell with Greece... Kemal PS. TURKEY IS WATCHING YOU......SO BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO AND WHAT YOU SAY...!!!

68 greeks stoopit evrebody is watching you

69 Yeahhh...right, fuck the stupid greeks.

70 I didn't fucking now that the greeks were the greatest loosers in our history!!! Man, that must have been an embarresment for the greeks to loose all the wars they had against the turks. So, why the fucking do they come up with legends like Achilles, Hercules, Odysee etc. etc...when they already have proven since the last 700 years that they weren't capable to defeat their enemies. Who were actually these legends that the greeks pretend to be of their origin? Was Alexander the Great really a Greek? or maybe just a false figure who was either Illyrian or even Dardanian from the same origin as Aeneas was??? Big stories with big lies, isn't it!!! Again, never trust the Greek books because they cheat and cheat and cheat.....Hahahahahahahahaha

71 First i would like to answer to that stupid shit Pablo and his question why the Nazis killed so many Greeks during the Second World War. Can you tell us Pablo where was Turkey and Albania during the 2WW? I will tell you! Albania, which declared its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1912, owed its continued existence during and immediately after World War I for the most part to weariness and lack of interest on the part of its neighbors.In what can only be described as an isolated and backward corner of Europe barely emerged from the Middle Ages, Prime Minister Ahmet Beg Zogu in the 1920s took the crown in the land of Gegs and Tosks as King Zog I and presided over a kingdom most noted for its blood feuds. Despite lack of industry, perennial food shortages, limited natural resources, and a population comprised mostly of SAVAGE and ILLITERATE TRIBESMEN, Albanian territory was coveted at various times during the inter-war years by Yugoslavia, Greece, and in particular Italy. On 7 April 1939 Italian troops landed at Albania. The small Albanian army, trained and indoctrinated by an Italian military mission, for the most part offered little or no resistance.Inept and ill-prepared though the invaders were, there was nothing to stop them. So Italy had conguered Albania in a week and force them to withdrew from the League of Nations on 14 April 1939. ********* AND THATS THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE ALBANIAN STATE TO THE SECOND WORLD WAR......... ONE WEEK OF HUMILIATION TO THE WEEK ITALIAN FORCES WITH NO RESISTANCE AT ALL***************** Lets see the other shits the Turks now... As we all know Turkey during the 2WW was ''neutral'', and on Feb. 23, 1945(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), declared war on Germany and Japan, but it took no active part in the conflict. A number of countries regarded as ''neutral'' in the second World War helped the Nazis by allowing Germany to purchase key supplies. Four countries - Portugal, Spain, Sweden and TURKEY - were as crucial to the Nazi war effort as neighbouring Switzerland. Turkey sent chromite, including 100% of Germany's 1943 requirement, for hardening steel to make armour. The ''neutrals'' were paid for crucial commodities through the Swiss National Bank with gold that Hitler's troops had looted from other banks, and valuables stolen from Holocaust victims. Thats why Turkey's gold deposits before the war were 27 tons but after the war they reached 216 tons, as a result of the gold that was brought to the country by the Nazis. ********* AND THATS THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE TURKISH STATE TO THE SECOND WORLD WAR......... THEY NEVER FOUGHT BECAUSE THEY WERE ''NEUTRALS'' BUT THEY GOT MONEY FROM THE NAZIS FOR PROVIDING CRUCIAL SUPPLIES TO THEM.... OH I FORGOT!!!! THE DECLARED WAR ON GERMANY AND JAPAN 2,5 MONTHS BEFORE ITS END. (In Europe, the war ended with the surrender of Germany on 8 May 1945)********* /////THATS WHAT I CALL A HISTORY TO BE PROUD OF...... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA/////// IN THE OTHER HAND THE GREEKS WAS THE FIRST NATION (ALTHOUGH SMALL AND POOR)WHO WERE BRAVE ENOUGH AND HAD PRIDE, TO DECLARE WAR TO ITALIANS AND TO THE GERMANS. AND THEY PAID THIS DECLARATION WITH HEAVY LOSSES. WE WON THE FIGHT AGAINST THE ITALIANS BUT WE LOST AGAINST THE GERMANS BUT NOT IN ONE WEEK LIKE THE ALBANIANS DID. ALTHOUGH WE LOST THE FIGHT WITH THE GERMANS WE CONTINUED OUR RESISTANCE AGAINST THEM AND WE WERE NOT ''NEUTRALS'' LIKE THE TURKS WERE. AND OUR TROOPS WERE LEFT GREECE TO FIGHT IN OTHER AREAS (NORTH AFRICA) AGAINST THE AXIS. GOT IT? THATS WHY THE GERMANS KILLED SO MANY OF US... CAUSE WE HAD THE PRIDE TO SAY: ''WE ARE GREEKS NOT ALBANIAN AND TURKISH SHITS AND IF YOU WANT GREECE COME AND GET IT IF YOU HAVE THE BALLS...... GOT IT PABLO?

72 And now Kemal's turn..... Very well Kemal, your knowledge of history exceeds all our expectations. So because you are good at history and it is boring to write these things can you please write us more on the Greek-Turk conflicts and the battles that you won? Please start with the 1821 revolution when there was not a Greek state and tell us what happen in 1830(declaration of Greece as an independent state). Then you can continue with the first Balkan Wars in 1912 and you can tell us what happen there and who was the winner. if you want tell us about the first World War and then tell us about the second World War and the role of Turkey in it (hahahahahahahaha). After you finish with the wars and with the battles that the Turks have won you can start a new chapter with the title: ***THE TURK CONTRIBUTION TO CIVILISATION*** There you can write about KEBAB.... and hmmmmmm...... and......hmmmmmmmmm.... I cannot find anything else. If anyone finds anything else please let me know...... So my dear friend Kemal sleep and dream about the battles you won back in 1800's. BUT REMEMBER!!!!There is no point winning battles when your opponent is taking your land hahahahahahahahaha. And thats what Greeks did back then....They made a new country from scratch although they were loosing the battles you just mentioned. hahahahaha. PS. AND PLEASE WHEN YOU COPY AND PASTE FACTS ABOUT TURKISH-GREEK HISTORY READ THEM FIRST. I SPENT MY TIME READING YOUR POST ABOUT TWO BATTLES JUST FOR WHAT? TO PROVE US THAT YOU CAN WIN US IN A THIRD WAR? STUPIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

73 AND DONT FORGET...... ******** DEN THA GINEIS ELLINAS POTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ALBANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ALBANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*********

74 THE FOLLOWING WORDS I FOUND THEM IN THE INTERNET AND COPY-PASTED THEM HERE AS IT WAS. I PUT IN THE GOOGLE ''GREECE IS THE BIRTHPLACE'' AND THE FOLLOWING PHRASES (AND MANY MORE) CAME OUT AS A RESULT. # Greece is a country of a rich cultural heritage. Democracy was invented in Athens, Greek culture is the mother of Roman culture and has very much influenced other civilisations. # Ancient Greek culture, particularly as developed in Athens, was the principal source of Western civilization. # Ancient Greece was a great civilization from which came major contributions to present-day society. Greece is the birthplace of the first Olympic games, great minds like Aristotle, Alexander the Great and Plato, and is home to the breathtaking, ancient architecture of the Acropolis in Athens # Greece is the birthplace of civilization # greece is the cradle of western civilization # Greece is the birthplace of the “father of medicine” Hippocrates, who believed the body should be treated as a whole and that food should be medicine # greece is one of the oldest civilizations # greece is the land where the ancient gods chose to reside # The pillar of Western civilization, Greece is the birthplace of democracy and the Olympics, the land of Plato, Sophocles and Homer. Greeks are very proud to show the value of their rich cultural heritage, and Greece has become a popular tourist destination for lovers of old rocks and Mediterranean beaches # Greece is the birthplace of Western civilization, having given rise to reason, philosophy, science and democracy # It is well known that Greece is the birthplace of the Gods and mythic heros, as well as other extraordinary personalities such as poets, rheteurs and philosophers who taught the art of reasoning, and discussion. A country where human beings loved working with their hands to create works of art, in which a large number can still be admired today. # Not surprisingly, Greece is the birthplace of contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. While Greece's gifts to Western culture may need no testimony, many are unfamiliar with the hearty, flavorful dishes originating in the Isles # Greece is the birthplace of one of the world's oldest civilizations, the legacy of which can still be seen in its numerous monuments throughout the country # Greece is the birthplace of western civilization, the place that launched our history, art and philosophy # Greece, of course, is known not only as the birthplace of history and philosophy, but of classic art. # Greece is the birthplace of western wine culture, spreading their appreciation and expertise throughout the Mediterranean over 4,000 years ago # Greece is the birthplace of western art, philosophy and drama. It is the cornerstone of civilisation and wherever you travel there, you will find evidence of a glorious past. Greece offers travellers a unique blend of beautiful Mediterranean landscape, overwhelming history and great hospitality. # Greece (Hellas) is the birthplace of Democracy and modern conventions. Thousands of years ago, Greece had already gained stature as a democracy nation. Hellas is also the birthplace of the Philosophy, Tragedy, Mathematics, Physics and Biology as well as the Olympic Games. A nation with more than three thousand years history! The Classic Years, the Alexandrine and the Roman Period are in perfect harmony with the Greek-Orthodox Spirit of the Byzantine Times as well as with the Neo-Hellenic (i.e.new-Greek) Culture. Greece is the birthplace of Homeros, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Eukleides, Socratis, Plato, Pericles, Sofocles, Democritos, Aristotle and Alexander the Great. On the other hand, the Byzantine Empire was that rescued, developed and spread the Hellenic Civilisation to the other European and Asian Nations. # Greek philosophers and political leaders -- Cleisthenes and Pericles and their successors -- had great influence upon America's Founding Fathers in their creation of these United States. We, as a nation, owe a great debt to Greece. Greece is the birthplace of democracy, as we know it. Thomas Jefferson said, "To the ancient Greeks, we are all indebted for the light which led ourselves (American colonists) out of Gothic darkness." # Greece is the birthplace of democracy. The land that has enriched Western civilization with its history, philosophy and many other academic influences. Geometry, architecture, drama, philanthropy, and music have traveled globally from ancient Greece and have become the foundations of worldly theories, concepts and ideas. Furthermore, the Greek language has enriched other languages with many words. The unique and most delicious Greek cuisine, consists of many specialties, all cooked with care, mastery, love and excellence. The Greek cooking is distinguished with olive oil, herbs, and spices like basil, oregano, daphne, parsley; whilst the original dishes of mousaka, souvlaki and horiatiki salata (to mention a few) decorate each table deliciously. Lastly, let us not forget one of the most important international events which unite each nation in brotherhood, the Olympic Games, born in Greece, 776 B.C. in the spirit of world peace. Each traveler cannot resist the charm of this mystical land. # Greece is the birthplace of the Olympic Games, home of Ulysses, the Argonauts, and hallowed ground to the ancient Olympian gods. Today, a modern infrastructure, new airports, and world-connected communications provide the highest standards of service, both above and below water. A warm, dry climate supports thousands of uninhabited islands surrounded by the cleanest seas in all Europe. People are friendly, traditional, educated, and hospitable. Expect delicious local food, spirited entertainment, and unparalleled sightseeing. # Greece is the birthplace of democracy, theatre, philosophy and sport. # As ancient Greece is the birthplace of democracy, and, indeed the very underpinnings of the American way of life, so too was the American revolution the model for the modern Greek independence movement that began 168 years ago. In fact, Greeks used the United States Declaration of Independence as the archetype for their own declaration. Many American volunteers sailed to Greece to participate in Greece's war for independence. # As Will Durant wrote: Greek civilization is alive * * * it moves in every breath of mind we breath * * * so much of it remains that none of us in one lifetime could absorb it all. Greece is the bright morning star of that Western civilization which is our nourishment and life. Indeed, Percy Bysshe Shelly wrote: We are all Greeks! Our laws, our literature, our religion, our art, have their roots in Greece. Herro hera elefteria! Long live freedom! # Greece is the birthplace of athletics # Greece is the birthplace of philosophy # 4,000 years of history and tradition is revealed in front of your eyes, from Mycenae to Olympia and Macedonia, from the incomparable sculptures of the Golden Age (Acropolis, Delphi) to the Byzantine cultural heritage (Mystras, Meteora). Greece is the birthplace of democracy. It is hard to imagine what civilised life would be like today without the influence of ancient Greece. # Greece is the birthplace of one of the world's oldest and most glorious civilizations # Ancient Greece is the birthplace of the earliest written western theories about physiology (500-300BC). Hippocrates (circa 460-377BC) makes no mention of the spirit. Plato (circa 428-347BC) proposed that mind and body were separate entities # Greece is the birthplace of the greatest philosophers (Socratis, Thales, Plato, Aristotle), the author of the first great European literary work, Homer, the great tragedy writers (Sophocles, Euripides, Aeschylus), the father of medicine Hippocrates and so many others! # As scholars have noted, Greece is the birthplace of the art of rhetoric, grammar, and logic. While "many other ancient civilizations produced literature, only the Greeks produced analytic, expository treatises that attempted to discover the actual bases of human communication" (Murphy & Katula, A Synoptic History of Classical Rhetoric, 1994, p. x). # ancient Greece is the birthplace Western philosophy & science, including astronomy. Yes, I know the Egyptians were astronomers too, but that was mainly in Ptolemeic Egypt, which for all intents and purposes was essentially Greece. Sorry to be so droll, but I answer these questions about ten times a week. # Greece is the birthplace of Western civilization and modern thought. Greece is the home of Aristotle, Plato, Homer, and of the Olympic Games # Greece is the birthplace of mathematics # GREECE IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF DEMOCRACY, THE CREATOR OF SCIENCE AND ART, THE HOME OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND THE BEST PART OF EUROPE. # ...... ..... .. SO PROUD TO BE HELLENAS (GREEK)... **GEORGE FROM ATHENS** PS: 1/ LOVE YOU ALL GUYS, BUT WE DESERVE RESPECT. 2/ UNFORTUNATELY WE LIVE IN A BAD NEIGHTBORHOUD. ALL AROUND GREECE (ALBANIANS,TURKS,FYROMS,BULGARIANS) JEALOUS US. THIS IS A FACT. 3/ FYROM GUYS (SLAVS) BE GOOD BOYS. IT IS NOT BAD TO BE A SLAV. IF IT IS TO HEAVY FOR YOU, BE A PART OF GREECE.

79 Yes go ahead and watch Simpsons. You are so stupid that you wouldn't understand anything else. Open your eyes sucker and search the internet for you might find some stuff that connect the Greeks to a lot of History at a time your ancestors were acting like apes. The two previous guys proved to the most what Greek nation means and is capable of. So next time you try to post a comment about Greeks and their history make a search and inform yourself before your hands start to type shit!!!! And as for you Kemal the previous guy told enough for you. If you are blind it is your own problem. There is nothing that Turkey has that we (Greeks) are jealous of. Ooh and ask yourself this question. What has your nation done and you are so proud of? One more thing, in our shitty as you say schools they teach us our history from some thousand years ago because WE HAVE HISTORY TO BE TAUGHT. What the hell do YOU have? How to make a kebab???? Also this stuff the guy wrote is from the internet as well, it's what the other nations believe and study upon as well!!! So go ahead and swear, laugh and make whatever silly comments you wish but you can't deny the facts!!! Greeks have contributed a great deal of stuff to the human race as other nations have and are proud of but although I am trying to find some contribution from the Turks i end with nothing!!! My kindest regards!!!

80 I am attaching the following so anyone with a straight mind can read this and admire turkish tactics and manners for the Greeks and then evaluate his or her stand over the turkish nation. SEPTEMBER 6th 1955, THE NIGHT OF TERROR IN CONSTANTINOPLE Under the terms of the agreement regarding the exchange of populations in the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, the Greek population of Constantinople-a thriving community-and the muslim community residing in Western Thrace were exempted from the exchange process. In the beginning of the 20th century there were over 300,000 Greeks residing in Constantinople. They had managed to survive there despite centuries of oppression and persecution under the Ottoman yoke. But the Turks were determined to expel all Greeks from their ancient home using all available means. Thus, the Turks systematically used the following measures in order to accomplish their objective : In May 1941, large numbers of young men ranging in age from 18-38. were conscripted into the Turkish army from the Greek and Armenian communities The Turkish intention was to exterminate these young men through the well-known method of "forced-labour battalions". If this extermination plan was not successful it was due to protests from the Western allies and the defeat of the Germans in Stalingrad in December 1942. Seeing the tides of war shifting, the Turkish authorities permitted the discharge of these soldiers. On 11 Noverriber 1942, the Turkish government passed a law regarding taxation of property of non-muslims, known as the VA RLIK VE RGISI. Through this !aw non-muslim citiizens had to submit, without the right to appeal, to the discretion and arbitrary judgment of the tax clerks. The tax clerks, in turn, were instructed to appraise property at amounts many times over the actual value of each property. Then, if the individual concerned was unable to make payments of the enormous tax share (quota), the property was seized and the unfortunate owners were exiled to ACKALE, in Anatolia. As a result (of the use) of these harsh and inhuman measures, by 1955 only 25,000 people were left, rather than the 450,000 that should have been their number given a normal rate of growth in 35 years. On the night of the 6th September 1955, and using the Cyprus situation as a pretext, the Turks dealt the coupdegrace to the remaining inhabitants. The whole story of this pogrom is as follows : On Saturday the 3rd of September, 1955, the wife of the Turkish Consul in Thessaloniki asked for, and received, from a photographer in Thessaloniki supposedly for a keep-sake a series of photographs and films of the Turkish Consulate and the neighboring home where Kemal Ataturk was born. The very next day she and her family left for Turkey. At ten past midnight on the 6th of September,1955, in the garden of the Consulate, between the two buildings, dynamite exploded resulting in broken windows in both buildings. The Greek authorities rushed immediately to the scene. They established that two more explosive devices had been positioned in the Consulate yard and that within the building there was only one Turkish guard. In the investigation that followed it was determined that the explosives were placed there by the guard and his accomplice, a Turkish student at the Law School of the University of Thessaloniki, Oktai Egin Faik, who had brought the dynamite from Turkey a few days earlier. On the 6th of September, Turkish newspapers using forged versions of the photos of the Turkish consul's wife and even before the explosion took place in Greece, depicted Kemal's birthplace as totally destroyed. By the evening, newspapers all over Turkey knew of the alleged destruction of Kemal's home setting off waves of anger among the Turkish populace. The Turkish authorities then transported large groups of people in trains and military vehicles from Anatolia to Constantinople. The attack by the angry mobs began at 5:50 P.M on the 6th of September 1955 and ended at 02:00 A.M on the 7th of September 1955. The police calmly assisted and even guided the mobs, in their relentless path of destruction. At 00:20 A.M on the 7th of September 1955 martial law was finally declared, at 02:00 A.M curfew began and at 02 : 30 A.M the authorities had restored a semblance of order. Screaming slogans "Today your property, tomorrow your lives" the mobs had perpetrated terrible crimes. Those who guided them knew that by terrorizing the last Greek residents of Constantinople they would compel them to desert their homeland, once and for all. Simultaneously by destroying monuments which were proof of the glorious Greek past of Constantinople, they would eradicate even future reminders of the Greek presence. The results of the vandalisms were : the Theological School of Halki, the Marasleios School, The Monestary of Valoukli, the Zappeio School for Girls and many other sites, suffered great damage. of the 83 Greek Orthodox churches in the 59 were burned and most others suffered serious damage to the icons and ancient paintings of great value. the tombs of Patriarchs were destroyed, Christian cemeteries and ossuaries were defiled ; 3,000 homes were looted and destroyed ; 4348 Greek stores were looted and destroyed ; 200 Greek women were raped ; hundreds of Greeks were ill-treated or tortured, such as the old Bishop of Derkon Iakovos; the metropolitan of Ilioupolis Yennadios, whose beard was cut off and who was then dragged through the streets so that he would die shortly thereafter from ill-treatment; and Bishop Pamphilou Yennadios that was thrown into the burned ruins of Valoukli; 15 Greeks were murdered and among them a 90 year old monk at the Valoukli Monastery, Chrys. Mantas, who was burned alive. Many others in the monastery were seriously wounded. After the pogrom a great portion of the Greek population left Constantinople to save their lives. On the 20th of September,1975, in a special 35 page Survey section of the influential English magazine, The Economist, it was written : "Turkish charges that the Moslem population in Western Thrace is harried by the Greek authorities are gross exaggerations. In 1923 there were 300,000 Greeks living in Constantinople and 110,000 Turks living in Thrace. Today, there are 15,000 Greeks living in Istanbul and 120,000 Turks in Thrace. The Greeks ask, with some justification, which country has been putting the pressure on which minority". (Survey-15). It is important for us to realize that at the time tha this article was written (1982), only 4,000 Greeks still remain in Constantinople. Taken from "The Turkish Crime of the Century" web site.

81 I guess every nation has its pride. This is the turkish side!!! Congratulations because you are a nation that has inspired others!!!!!!

82 KEMAL EAT YOUR KEBAB AND SHUT THE FUCK UP HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

83 HEY YOU "GYROS SCUMBAGS", WHY SO PANICKING?? TAKE IT EASY, GAYS. TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND JUST FUCKING ACCEPT THE WE TURKS FUCKED YOU IN ALL CENTURIES (EXCEPTIONALLY WELL DURING THE OTTOMAN POWER, WHICH LASTED MORE THAN 400 BLOODY YEARS!!!) BELOW, YOU WILL FIND THE PROOF WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN FROM THE TOP FROM ONE OF YOUR LITTLE GREEK SHIT BAGS WHICH SAYS AGAINST SLAVS, YOU IDIOTS. BUT AGAIN, YOU NEVER REALLY WERE GOOD IN ENGLISH AT SCHOOL, THAT'S YOU DON'T FUCKING GET IT RIGHT. "... You people are just a few rejected slavs who have no identity and try to steal history from my people..." Posted by: Pete the Greek at December 2, 2004 09:59 AM WE WILL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU AGAIN SOMETIMES IN THE NEAR FUTURE...BUT THIS TIME "SHOW NO MERCY" (SLAYER) TO THE FUCKING GREEKS. OH MAN IT IS FUCKING EASY FOR US TO COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR ASSES OUT. YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW THAT AND YOUR GENERATION (THE LAST ONE OF GREECE) WILL FEEL IT VERY SOON.

84 FOR ALL YOU GREEKS THAT THINK YOU WERE NEVER INVOLVED IN ANY OF THE HUMAN CRIMES AGAINST YOUR OWN CIVILIANS. LOOK BELOW FOR EVIDENCE AND YOU'LL FIND PLENTY OF GENOCIDES CAUSED BY GREEKS DURING THE CYPRUS CIVIL WAR, YOU STUPID SON OF THE BITCHES: Cyprus Briefing Note The Greek Cypriots claim that the Cyprus problem was caused by the landing of Turkish troops in 1974 and that if only they would withdraw, the problem would be solved. This is a serious misconception, forth modern Cyprus question began in 1960 and the landing of Turkish troops was the consequence, not the cause, of the problem. The Greek Cypriot journalist Aleccos Constantinides, writing in Alithia on 14.12.85 said that Greek Cypriot political parties "are acting as if the Cyprus problem began and ended in 1974. They refrain from talking about the previous coups. The first coup was not in 1974, but only a few years after we had attained our independence in 1960. Had it not been for the first coup there would not have been the 1974 coup." Moreover, there were two military actions in 1974; the first was by Greece on 15th July, which caused the second by Turkey on 20th July. The inhabitants of Cyprus have no common language except English and no common religion; nor have they, except at the surface, any common culture. In March 1963 Archbishop Makarios said "The (Independence) Agreements have created a State, but not a Nation." (The Greek Cypriot Cyprus Mail 28.3.63) This being so, any approach to the Cyprus question which regards Cypriots as a nation is fundamentally flawed. "The famous Cypriot consciousness was invented and encouraged by the British in the 1920s." Prodromos Prodromou The Guardian 30th January 1995 There are two peoples of Cyprus - the Turkish Cypriots numbering about 200.000 and the Greek Cypriots numbering about 500.000. The Turkish Cypriots are mainly Moslems and the Greek Cypriots are mainly adherents of the Greek Orthodox Church. Cyprus has never been part of the Greek state. It lies 40 miles from the coast of Turkey, and Turkish people have inhabited the island since the 12th century. Cyprus is 250 miles from the nearest Greek island (Rhodes), and Athens is 460 miles away. The Cyprus question can be stated shortly as follows: The partnership republic formed in 1960 between the two peoples of Cyprus broke down in 1963. For the time being, Greek and Turkish Cypriots live apart. Does the future of Cyprus lie in a new political integration or in an arms length relationship based on willing and active co-operation between two peoples, each secure in its own sovereign territory and each with its own customs, traditions and identity? No solution to the Cyprus problem will work unless it is freely accepted by the inhabitants of the island who will have to live with it. Otherwise, there will be bloodshed again and there could be war between Turkey and Greece. There is therefore no point in trying to put pressure on Greece or Turkey to force either or both of the parties in Cyprus to accept the unacceptable. On 15th August 1996 The Daily Telegraph wrote "Turkish Cypriots have constitutional right on their side and understandably fear a renewal of persecution if the Turkish army withdraws. Almost nowhere in the world is there a lasting peace that is not based on people's rights to govern themselves." Everyone who wishes Cyprus well prefers to look to the future but some commentators will readily use the events of 1974 to argue that the present state of affairs is unacceptable. They do not however go back before 20th July 1974, and refusal to consider the preceding 15 years means that important legal and political issues wrongly determined in favour of the Greek Cypriots remain undisturbed and remain a continuing source of tension between the former partners. The most important of these issues is international acceptance of the Greek Cypriot regime as the government of all Cyprus and refusal to recognise the right of the Turkish Cypriots to establish their own state. It is therefore necessary to look in some detail at the reasons why the present situation has arisen and why, in consequence, both sides and particularly the less numerous Turkish Cypriots need reliable safeguards for their future. One of the most remarkable features of the Cyprus question is the extent to which the Greek Cypriots have been able to repudiate solemn international agreements and violate the human rights of the Turkish Cypriots on a massive scale and yet by a quite astonishing feat of public relations, have secured for themselves recognition as the government of all Cyprus and have persuaded the world that they, and not the Turkish Cypriots, are the injured party. The consequence of this is that they have been able to extract one sided resolutions from the United Nations and other international organisations, and have been able to secure court judgments based on the fact of recognition which have been immensely damaging to the Turkish Cypriots. The Turkish Cypriots have, for more than thirty years, been deprived of an official voice in the world and have been deprived of the financial resources to match the Greek Cypriots in the presentation of their case to the world community. For more than thirty years - ever since the overthrow of the 1960 Agreement - the Turkish Cypriots and their government have been faced with one of the hardest tasks in the whole range of international affairs - how to get the world to change its mind after it has got hold of the wrong end of the stick and clung to it year after year. Causes of the 1974 Intervention Britain decided to decolonise the island, and in the House of Commons on 19th December 1956 the Colonial Secretary, Alan Lennox-Boyd, pledged that "it will be the purpose of Her Majesty's Government to ensure that any exercise of self-determination should be effected in such a manner that the Turkish Cypriot community, no less than the Greek Cypriot community, shall in the special circumstances of Cyprus be given freedom to decide for themselves their future status." Although by then the Greek Cypriots were more numerous, the Turkish Cypriots had lived in Cyprus as a distinct community for more than 400 years; and in exercise of their right of self-determination they were willing to join in forming a new Republic embracing the whole of the island (less the British sovereign bases) only if that basic fact of political life in Cyprus was formally recognised. The Turkish Cypriots would never have agreed to subject themselves to unlimited Greek Cypriot rule, and would have fought for their survival as a free people with whatever help they could get. The alternatives were two separate states, a condominium, division of the island between Greece and Turkey, restoration to Turkey under the 1878 Lease, or continued British rule. The negotiations in Zurich and London preceding independence were long and difficult, but it was eventually agreed by way of compromise between all five participants; Britain, Greece, Turkey, the Turkish Cypriots, and the Greek Cypriots; that the new state would be a bi-communal Republic with a single territory but a unique Constitution which embodied an agreed political partnership between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, and which prohibited the political or economic union of Cyprus with any other state. At the conclusion of the negotiations the Greek Cypriot leader, Archbishop Makarios, said "Sending cordial good wishes to all the Greeks and Turks of Cyprus, I greet with joy the Agreement reached and proclaim with confidence that this day will be the beginning of a new period of progress and prosperity for our country". On 6th March 1959, President Eisenhower endorsed the agreement as "a victory for common sense" an "imaginative act of statesmanship" and "a splendid achievement." (US Dep. of State Bulletin p.367). In the first Presidential elections in Cyprus Mr.John Clerides (father of Glafcos Clerides) stood against Makarios on a platform of opposition to the 1960 Agreements and lost by a majority of two to one of the Greek Cypriot electorate. The bi-communal structure was fundamental to the 1960 accords, on the basis of which the Republic of Cyprus achieved independence, and recognition as a sovereign state from the international community. Accordingly, from its very inception the Republic of Cyprus was never a unitary state in which there is only one electorate with a majority and minority. The two communities were political equals and each existed as a political entity, just as both large and small states exist within the structure of the European Union. They did not however have the same constitutional rights because the agreements took into account the fact that there were more Greek Cypriots than Turkish Cypriots. The UN Secretary-General confirmed in 1992 (UN doc.S/24472) that sovereignty "emanates equally from both communities. One community cannot claim sovereignty over the other." Knowing that they could not enforce the 1960 agreement themselves, the Turkish Cypriots would never have agreed to join the new Republic if the Greek Cypriots had not accepted a Treaty of Guarantee which gave Turkey a legal right to intervene, with troops if necessary. The parties to the Treaty were the United Kingdom, Turkey, Greece, and the Republic of Cyprus. Independence was formally granted on 16th August 1960. The case of Cyprus is sui generis, for there is no other State in the world which came into being as a result of two politically equal peoples coming together by the exercise by each of its sovereign right of self-determination, to create a unique legal relationship, which was guaranteed by international treaty, to which each of them consented. Constitution Ignored It became clear very soon after independence that the Greek Cypriots did not intend to abide by the Constitution, and that their entry into that solemn legal obligation with the Turkish Cypriots and the Guarantor Powers in 1960 had been a deception. On 28th July 1960 the Greek Cypriot President Makarios said "the agreements do not form the goal -they are the present and not the future. The Greek Cypriot people will continue their national cause and shape their future in accordance with THEIR will. In a speech on 4th September 1962, at Panayia, Makarios said "Until this Turkish community forming part of the Turkish race which has been the terrible enemy of Hellenism is expelled, the duty of the heroes of EOKA can never be considered terminated." The Turkish Cypriots were-told by the outside world to take no notice of statements of this kin. They were told that they were just rhetoric, or were for internal consumption within the Greek Cypriot community. However, the Turkish Cypriots were to discover very soon that when Greek Cypriot leaders make statements of that kind they should be taken seriously. Similar statements are still being made by Greek Cypriot leaders today, and Turkish Cypriots are still being urged not to take them seriously. The Constitution provided that separate municipalities be established for Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots. The Greek Cypriots refused to obey this mandatory provision and in order to encourage them to do so the Turkish Cypriots said they would not vote for the Government's taxation proposals. The Greek Cypriots remained intransigent, so the Turkish Cypriots took the matter to the Supreme Constitutional Court of Cyprus. The court comprised one Greek Cypriot judge, one Turkish Cypriot judge, and a neutral President. In February 1963 (Cyprus Mail 12.2.63) Archbishop Makarios declared on behalf of the Greek Cypriots that if the Court ruled against them they would ignore it. On 25th April 1963 the Court did rule against them and they did ignore it. The President of the Court (a German citizen) resigned and the rule of law in Cyprus collapsed. Even Greece was embarrassed by this behaviour. On 19th April 1963, Foreign Minister Averoff had written to Makarios "It is not permissible for Greece in any circumstances to accept the creation of a precedent by which one of the contracting parties can unilaterally abrogate or ignore provisions that are irksome to it in international acts which this same party has undertaken to respect." In November 1963 the Greek Cypriots went further, and demanded the abolition of no less than eight of the basic articles which had been included in the 1960 Agreement for the protection of the Turkish Cypriots, to which abolition the Turkish Cypriots naturally refused to agree. The aim was to reduce the Turkish Cypriot people to the status of a mere minority, wholly subject to the control of the Greek Cypriots, pending their ultimate destruction or expulsion from the island. The UK House of Commons Select Committee on Foreing Affairs reviewed the Cyprus question in 1987 (H.C.no.23 of 1986-87), and reported unanimously on 2nd July that, "Although the Cyprus Government now claims to have been merely seeking to "operate the 1960 Constitution modified to the extent dictated by the necessities of the situation", this claim ignores the fact that both before and after the events of December 1963, the Makarios Government continued to advocate the cause of ENOSIS and actively pursued the amendments of the Constitution and the related treaties to facilitate this ultimate objective. Insofar as the Constitution became unworkable, it was because the Greek Cypriot leadership refused to fulfil the obligations to which they had agreed. The doctrine of necessity in international law applies to supervening impossibility due to extraneous and unforseen causes. It does not apply to self-induced causes. There is in particular no doctrine of necessity known to international law which could justify the slaughter of innocent men, women, and children. The Committee continued: "Moreover in June 1967 the Greek Cypriot legislature unanimously passed a resolution in favour of ENOSIS, in blatant contravention of the 1960 Treaties and Constitution." (Art. 1 of the Treaty of Guarantee declares prohibited any action likely to promote directly or indirectly union with any other state or partition of the island, and Art. 185(2) of the Constitution is to similar effect). At Christmas 1963 the Greek Cypriot militia attacked Turkish Cypriot communities across the island, and very many men, women, and children were killed. 270 of their mosques, shrines and other places of worship were desecrated. On 2nd January 1964 the Daily Telegraph wrote "The Greek Cypriot community should not assume that the British military presence can or should secure them against Turkish intervention if they persecute the Turkish Cypriots. We must not be a shelter for double-crossers." Thereafter Turkish Cypriot MP's, judges, and other officials were intimidated or prevented by force from carrying out their duties. At para.28 the Select Committee said "The effect of the crisis of December 1963 was to deliver control of the formal organs of Government into the hands of the Greek Cypriots alone. Claiming to be acting in accordance with "the doctrine of necessity" the Greek Cypriot members of the House of Representatives enacted a series of laws which provided for the operation of the organs of government without Turkish Cypriot participation." The Select Committee continued at para, 29 "Equally damaging from the Turkish Cypriot point of view was what they considered to be their effective exclusion from representation at, and participation in, the international fora were their case could have been deployed ......." "An official Turkish Cypriot presence in the international political scene virtually disappeared overnight." It is not therefore surprising that the world has been persuaded to the Greek Cypriot point of view. The United Nations not only failed to condemn the usurpation of the legal order in Cyprus by force, but actually rewarded it by treating the by then wholly Greek Cypriot administration as if it were the Government of Cyprus (Security Council Res. 186 of 1964). This acceptance has continued to the present day, and reflects no credit upon the United Nations, nor upon Britain and the other countries who have acquiesced in it. On 12th August 1964 the UK Representative to the UN wrote to his government in London as follows: "What is our policy and true feelings about the future of Cyprus and about Makarios? Judging from the English newspapers and many others, the feeling is very strong indeed against Makarios and his so-called government and nothing would please the British people more than to see him toppled and the Cyprus problem solved by the direct dealings between the Turks and the Greeks. We are of course supporting the latter course, but I have never seen any expression of the official disapproval in public against Makarios and his evil doings. Is there an official view about this, and what do we think we should do in the long run? Sometimes it seems that the obsession of some people with "the Commonwealth" blinds us to everything else and it would be high treason to take a more active line against Makarios and his henchmen. At other times the dominant feature seems to be concern lest active opposition against Makarios should lead to direct conflict with the Cypriots and end up with our losing our bases. I ask these questions, partly for background and partly because it really would be useful to know how far you feel we really are inhibited from taking up a more actively hostile attitude to the Greek Cypriots. Their representative here is, as you know, a horror, and even the communists are thoroughly fed up with him, and it is therefore really not necessary for us to do anything more to weaken his position. But it is curious and sometimes very frustrating to sit in the Security Council and walk around the UN and have to listen to all the stuff about the wickedness of the Turks and their threats of invasion, when I and all my staff know very well what the real state of affairs is and how much Makarios and co. are to blame. One can say what one thinks of course to a few people, but one cannot produce the evidence or argue the case fully with the vast majority of my UN colleagues so long as the official public attitude seems to be not to say anything rude about Makarios and his gang. These, I realise, are not entirely easy questions and I suspect that the answers may well depend on differences of view and attitude at your end, revolving round such questions as the Commonwealth and the truth about our defence needs. Nevertheless I hope you can give us some of your real thoughts, if only for our private consumption. It would be a help to know what the thinking and the planning is and how far and for how long it is going to be necessary to continue to behave in, what at times does appear an unrealistic way and contrary to the popular feeling in Britain." Massacres of Turkish Cypriot Civilians The civilian massacres of 1963, 1964, 1967 and 1974 are of such importance to an understanding of the Turkish Cypriot negotiating position to this day that no apology is made for quoting from the contemporary reports in some detail. "When the Turkish Cypriots objected to the amendment of the constitution Makarios put his plan into effect, and the Greek Cypriot attack began in December 1963" - Lt.Gen. George Karayiannis of the Greek Cypriot militia ("Ethnikos Kiryx" 15.6.65). The General is referring to the notorious "Akritas" plan, which was the blueprint for the annihilation of the Turkish Cypriots and the annexation of the island to Greece. On 28th December 1963 the Daily Express carried the following report from Cyprus: "We went tonight into the sealed-off Turkish Cypriot Quarter of Nicosia in which 200 to 300 people had been slaughtered in the last five days. We were the first Western reporters there and we have seen sights too frightful to be described in print. Horror so extreme that the people seemed stunned beyond tears." On 12th January 1964 the British High Commission in Nicosia wrote to London (telegram no. 162) "The Greek (Cypriot) police are led by extremists who provoked the fighting and deliberately engaged in atrocities. They have recruited into their ranks as "special constables" gun-happy young thugs. They threaten to try and punish any Turkish Cypriot police who wish to return to Cyprus Government... Makarios assured Sir Arthur Clark that there will be no attack. His assurance is as worthless as previous assurances have proved." On 14th January 1964 the Daily Telegraph reported that the Turkish Cypriot inhabitants of Ayios Vassilious had been massacred on 26th December 1963, and reported their exhumation from a mass grave in the presence of the Red Cross. A further massacre of Turkish-Cypriots, at Limassol, was reported by The Observer on 16th February 1964, and there were many more. On 17th February 1964 the Washington Post reported that Greek Cypriot fanatics appear bent on a policy of genocide. On 1st January 1964 the Daily Herald reported: "When I came across the Turkish Cypriot homes they were an appalling sight. Apart from the walls they just did not exist. I doubt if a napalm attack could have created more devastation. Under roofs which had caved in I found a twisted mass of bed springs, children's cots, and grey ashes of what had once been tables, chairs and wardrobes. In the neighbouring village of Ayios Vassilios I counted 16 wrecked and burned out homes. They were all Turkish Cypriot. In neither village did I find a scrap of damage to any Greek Cypriot house." On 31st December 1963 "The Guardian" reported: "It is nonsense to claim, as the Greek Cypriots do, that all casualties were caused by fighting between armed men of both sides. On Christmas Eve many Turkish Cypriot people were brutally attacked and murdered in their suburban homes, including the wife and children of a doctor -allegedly by a group of forty men, many in army boots and greatcoats." Although the Turkish Cypriots fought back as best they could, and killed some militia, there were no massacres of Greek Cypriot civilians. On 10th September 1964 the Secretary-General reported (UN doc.S/5950): "UNFICYP carried out a detailed survey of all damage to properties throughout the island during the disturbances,.......it shows that in 109 villages, most of them Turkish-Cypriot or mixed villages, 527 houses have been destroyed while 2.000 others have suffered damage from looting. In Ktima 38 houses and shops have been destroyed totally and 122 partially. In the Orphomita suburb of Nicosia, 50 houses have been totally destroyed while a further 240 have been partially destroyed there and in adjacent suburbs." British troops in Cyprus at the time did what they could to protect the Turkish Cypriot, and their efforts are remembered to this day, but the scale and ferocity of the Greek Cypriot attacks made their task impossible. On 6th February 1964 a British patrol found armed Greek Cypriot police attacking the Turkish Cypriot of Ayios Sozomenos. They were unable to stop the attack. On 13th February 1964 the Greeks and Greek Cypriots attacked the Turkish Cypriot quarter of Limassol with tanks, killing 16 and injuring 35. On 15th February 1964 "The Daily Telegraph" reported: "It is a real military operation which the Greek Cypriots launched against the six thousand inhabitants of the Turkish Cypriot Quarter yesterday morning. A spokesman for the Greek Cypriot Government has recognised this officially. It is hard to conceive how Greek and Turkish Cypriots may seriously contemplate working together after all that has happened." Professor Ernst Forsthoff, the neutral President of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Cyprus told Die Welt on 27th December 1963 "Makarios bears on his shoulders the sole responsibility of the recent tragic events. His aim is to deprive the Turkish community of their rights." In an interview with UPI press agency on 30th December 1963 he said: "All this happened because Makarios wanted to remove all constitutional rights from the Turkish Cypriots." More than 300 Turkish Cypriots are still missing without trace from these massacres of 1963/64. These dreadful events were not the responsibility of "the Greek Colonels" of 1974, or an unrepresentative handful of Greek Cypriot extremists. The persecution of the Turkish Cypriots was an act of policy on the part of the Greek Cypriot political and religious leadership, which has to this day made no serious attempt to bring the murderers to justice. The UK Commons Select Committee found that, "There is little doubt that much of the violence which the Turkish Cypriots claim led to the total or partial destruction of 103 Turkish villages and the displacement of about a quarter of the total Turkish Cypriot population, was either directly inspired by, or certainly connived at, by the Greek Cypriot leadership". The Greek Cypriots sometimes allege that it was they who were attacked, by the Turkish Cypriots, who were determined to wreck the 1960 agreements. However, the Turkish Cypriots were not only outnumbered by nearly four to one; they were also surrounded in their villages by armed Greek Cypriots; they had no way of protecting their women and children, and Turkey was 40 miles away across the sea. The very idea that in those circumstances the Turkish Cypriots were the aggressors, is absurd. In his memoirs, the American Under-Secretary of State, George Ball, said "Makarios's central interest was to block off Turkish intervention so that he and his Greek Cypriots could go on happily massacring Turkish Cypriots. Obviously we would never permit that." The fact is however that neither the US, the UK, the UN, nor anyone, other than Turkey eleven years later, ever took effective action to prevent it. Division of the Island The Turkish Cypriots were forced to withdraw into defended enclaves, and it was in 1964, not in 1974, that Cyprus was divided. The Turkish Cypriots had to establish an elected authority to govern themselves whilst confined in their enclaves. On 14th January 1964 "I1 Giorno" of Italy reported: "Right now we are witnessing the exodus of Turkish Cypriots from the villages. Thousands of people abandoning homes, land, herds. Greek Cypriot terrorism is relentless. This time the rhetoric of the Hellenes and the statues of Plato do not cover up their barbaric and ferocious behaviour." The UN Secretary-General reported to the Security Council (UN doc.S/8286): "When the disturbances broke out in December 1963 and continued during the first part of 1964 thousands of Turkish-Cypriots fled their homes, taking with them only what they could drive or carry, and sought refuge in safer villages and areas." Greek Cypriots often claim that the Turkish Cypriots withdrew voluntarily from their positions in the State, but this is not correct. They were excluded by threats to their personal safety. Further, the Commons Select Committee found that "When in July 1965 the Turkish Cypriot members of the House of Representatives had sought to resume their seats they were told that they could do so only if they accepted the legislative changes to the operation of the Constitution enacted in their absence" (ie. if they agreed to fundamental constitutional changes to the great disadvantage of their community, imposed upon them by force of arms). Accordingly, even if there had been any substance to Greek Cypriot claims that they were operating the government alone of necessity because the Turkish Cypriots were leaving their places vacant, there can be no justification for that claim after July 1965. The Select Committee continued: "In February 1966 Makarios declared that the 1960 Agreements had been abrogated and buried." In September 1964 the Secretary-General had reported to the Security Council (UN doc. 5950): "In addition to losses incurred in agriculture and in industry during the first part of the year, the Turkish Cypriot community had lost other sources of its income including the salaries of over 4000 persons who were employed by the Cyprus Government." The trade of the Turkish Cypriot community had considerably declined during the period, and unemployment reached a very high level of approximately 25000 breadwinners. Turkish-Cypriots had become refugees in their own land. On 10th September 1964 the UN Secretary-General reported "The economic restrictions being imposed against the Turkish Cypriot communities, which in some instances has been so severe as to amount to veritable siege, indicated that the Government of Cyprus seeks to force a potential solution by economic pressure." (UN doc. S/5950). On 24th July 1965 the United Kingdom formally protested the unlawful action of the Greek Cypriots, but continued to deal with them as the Government of Cyprus, and took no effective action to stop them doing as they pleased. In his memoirs published in 1987 former British Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister, James Callaghan, records that, "there is no question that the Turkish Cypriots had for many years been denied their political rights under the 1960 Constitution, and their basic human rights". The United Nations, the Commonwealth and the rest of the world have put political expediency before principle, and failed to condemn this appalling behaviour. Greek Cypriots are guilty of attempted genocide but no action has ever been taken against them. Instead they have been rewarded by recognition as the Government of all Cyprus. The Turkish Cypriots by contrast were frozen out of the UN, the Commonwealth and almost every other international organisation, and were not allowed to be heard when many important decisions affecting their future were made. Resolution 186 of 4th March 1964 is the first UN Security Council Resolution which recognised the Greek Cypriot regime as the "Government of Cyprus." The status conferred by this act of betrayal by the United Nations itself has enabled the Greek Cypriots for more than thirty years to treat the Turkish Cypriots as a mere community, to take most of the international aid for themselves, to embargo Turkish Cypriot trade and communications with the outside world, to occupy the Cyprus chair in all international institutions, and to convince the world that they, and not the Turkish Cypriots are the injured party. Sir Anthony Kershaw MC, MP, Chairman of the UK House of Commons Select Committee on Foreign Affairs until 1987 explained in a speech in Cyprus on 23rd October 1990 how the UN came to accept the Greek Cypriots as the Cyprus Government: "It was decided that UN troops should be sent to preserve order, but the UN can only send troops if the legal government of the country concerned asks for them. The only organisation which could in 1964 be called the Government of Cyprus was the administration headed by Makarios. The Turkish Cypriots pointed out that this was not the legal government of Cyprus but such was the pressure of the times that the UN said: Look your people are dying - let's get the troops out right away and the lawyers can sort it out later. So it was decided, but since that time the UN has treated the Greek Cypriots as the only government of Cyprus, basing this upon a treaty and a constitution which had been repudiated and broken by the Greek Cypriot government itself. I do not deny that the Greek Cypriot government is the de facto government of the South of Cyprus. It has all the attributes of sovereignty, but so has the government of Northern Cyprus." In the opinion of Mr.Monroe Leigh, the distinguished American international lawyer "The mere fact of international recognition, no matter how widespread, cannot excuse or confer legitimacy upon the violations of both constitutional law and international treaty law through which the Greek Cypriot regime usurped the name as well as the government of the Republic of Cyprus." (Written opinion 20.7.1990). In 1965 the UN General Assembly actually went so far, in Resolution 2077, as to express its confidence in the goodwill and humanity of the Greek Cypriot regime, which had been shown on the clearest possible evidence to have dishonoured international agreements, overthrown constitutional government, and violated human rights on a massive scale. The Events of 1974 In 1971 General Grivas returned to Cyprus to form EOKA-B, which was again committed to making Cyprus a wholly Greek island and annexing it to Greece. In a speech to the Greek Cypriot armed forces (Quoted in "New Cyprus" May 1987), Grivas said. "The Greek forces from Greece have come to Cyprus in order to impose the will of the Greeks of Cyprus upon the Turks. We want ENOSIS but the Turks are against it. We shall impose our will. We are strong and we shall do so." Greek Invasion By 15th July 1974 a powerful force of mainland Greek troops had assembled in Cyprus and with their backing the Greek Cypriot National Guard overthrew Makarios and installed Nicos Sampson as "President." On 22nd July Washington Star News reported: "Bodies littered the streets and there were mass burials... People told by Makarios to lay down their guns were shot by the National Guard." Turkish Cypriots appealed to the Guarantor powers for help, but only Turkey was willing to make any effective response. The Greek newspaper Eleftherotipia published an interview with Nicos Sampson on 26th February 1981 in which he said "Had Turkey not intervened I would not only have proclaimed ENOSIS - I would have annihilated the Turks in Cyprus." Even Greek Cypriots sought Turkey's help. In her memoirs, Greek Cypriot MP Rina Katselli, says "16th July 1974 Is Makarios alive? Is he dead? The Makarios supporters arrested, the EOKA-B supporters freed... I did not shed a tear, why should I? Did the stupidity and fanaticism deserve a tear? There are some who beg Turkey to intervene. They prefer the intervention of Turkey." 18th July 1974 "My God!... Everyone is frozen with fear..the old man who asked for the body of his son was shot on the spot..The tortures and executions at the central prison... everyone is frozen with horror. Nothing is sacred to these people, and they call themselves Greeks!... we must not keep that name any longer." go to top Missing Persons No human tragedy has been the subject of such blatant political exploitation as the case of missing persons in Cyprus. For more than twenty years Greek Cypriot governments have deceived their people into thinking that their loved ones might still be alive, but in October 1995 they had to admit that not only were many of them known to be dead, but that the whereabouts of their remains were also known, and had been withheld from their families. Some were not even missing. Andreas Mayas (Missing Person no.572), was receiving a state pension. On 3rd March 1996 the Greek Cypriot Cyprus Mail wrote: "(Greek) Cypriot governments have found it convenient to conceal the scale of atrocities during the 15th July coup in an attempt to downplay its contribution to the tragedy of the summer of 1974 and instead blame the Turkish invasion for all casualties. There can be no justification for any government that failed to investigate this sensitive humanitarian issue. The shocking admission by the Clerides government that there are people buried in Nicosia cemetery who are still included in the list of the "missing" is the last episode of a human drama which has been turned into a propaganda tool." On 19th October 1996 Mr.Georgios Lanitis wrote: "I was serving with the Foreign Information Service of the Republic of Cyprus in London.... I deeply apologise to all those I told that there are 1.619 missing persons. I misled them. I was made a liar, deliberately, by the Government of Cyprus.... today it seems that the credibility of Cyprus is nil." On 17th April 1991 Ambassador Nelson Ledsky testified before the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee that "Most of the missing persons disappeared in the first days of July 1974, before the Turkish intervention on the 20th. Many killed on the Greek side were killed by Greek Cypriots in fighting between supporters of Makarios and Sampson." On 19th July 1974, before the Turkish army landed, Archbishop Makarios told the UN Security Council "I do not yet know the details of the Cyprus crisis caused by the Greek military regime. I am afraid that the number of losses is great... I considered the danger from Turkey lesser than the danger from Greek army officers." The Greek newspaper TA NEA published an interview on 28th February 1976 with Father Papatsestos, the Greek Orthodox priest in charge of the Nicosia cemetery. He recounted the events of 17th July 1974 when Greek officers required him to bury truckloads of Greek Cypriots in mass graves, together with one young Greek Cypriot whom they buried alive, and ten dead Turkish Cypriots. This one priest counted at least 127 bodies brought to him, and there must have been many similar incidents throughout the island. On 22nd July 1974 The Times reported that "a production Director from Dublin said he had seen bodies being buried in a mass grave near Paphos after last Monday's coup. People were told by Makarios to lay down their guns and were shot out of hand by the National Guard, he said." On 6th November 1974 TA NEA reported the erasure of dates from the graves of Greek Cypriots killed in the five days 15th - 20th July, in order to blame their deaths on the subsequent Turkish military action. On 5th March 1996, US Ambassador Ledsky confirmed that there is no evidence that any of the missing persons is still alive. go to top Turkey Responds In his book "The Way the Wind Blows" former British Prime Minister, Sir Alec Douglas-Home said "I was convinced that if Archbishop Makarios could not bring himself to treat the Turkish Cypriots as human beings he was inviting the invasion and partition of the island." US Under-Secretary of State, George Ball, said "Makarios central interest was to block off Turkish intervention so that he and his Greek Cypriots could go on happily massacring Turkish Cypriots" "Turkish Cypriots, who had suffered from physical attacks since 1963, called on the guarantor powers to prevent a Greek conquest of the island. When Britain did nothing Turkey invaded Cyprus and occupied its northern part." (Daily Telegraph 15.8.96) Turkey (at that time led by the Social Democrat Prime Minister Bülent Ecevit) sent troops to Cyprus on 20th July 1974. "On 20th July 1974 Turkey intervened under Article IV of the Treaty of Guarantee" - (UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office doc. CPS/75. Jan., 1987). "Turkey exercised its right of intervention in accordance with Article IV of the Guarantee Treaty of 1960." (Resolution 573, Standing Committee of the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe, 29th July 1974). The 1976 UK House of Commons Select Committee on Cyprus found (HC 331 1975/76 para.22), that Turkey had proposed joint Anglo-Turkish action under the Treaty of Guarantee. On 14th August 1974 (Daily Telegraph 15th August) Prime Minister Ecevit confirmed that he had indeed traveled to London to urge Anglo-Turkish intervention. However the then Labour Government in Britain refused to take any effective action, even though they had troops and aircraft available in their Sovereign Bases in Cyprus. They argued that Britain was under no duty to take military action, but Article II provided that Britain would guarantee the state of affairs established by the 1960 Constitution, which it manifestly failed to do. The Select Committee concluded that "Britain had a legal right to intervene, she had a moral obligation to intervene. She did not intervene for reasons which the (Labour) Government refuses to give." In an article on 28th February 1976 in the Greek Cypriot press Father Papatsestos said: "In is a rather hard thing to say, but it is true that the Turkish intervention saved us from a merciless internecine war. The Sampson regime had prepared a list of all Makarios supporters, and they would have slaughtered them all." Many of the people saved by Turkey are members of the present Greek Cypriot leadership. During the fighting with Turkish troops between 20th July and 16th August 1974 many Greek Cypriots died in combat. So far as possible their bodies were recovered and identified by Turkish forces. There were very few deaths of Greek Cypriots civilians. The balance of probabilities is therefore that of those Greek Cypriots still listed as missing most were killed during the Sampson coup of 15th - 20th July 1974, and that others died in combat. Some are in mass graves such as those described by Father Papatsestos, and the remainder have no known grave. Those killed in the fighting with the Turkish army would not have died if the Greek Cypriots and Greece had not tried to annihilate the Turkish Cypriots and annex the island to Greece, and the blame for their deaths must rest firmly upon their own leadership. Prisoners of War taken by the Turkish Army were sent to Turkey, where they were visited by the Red Cross, and repatriated on 8th August 1974, 16th September 1974, and 28th October 1975 under international supervision. There are not prisoners of war still in Turkey. Until recently however allegations continued to be made of "sightings" of Greek or Greek Cypriots in Turkey, and sometimes photographs were produced. On 17th April 1991 US Ambassador Ledsky told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee "The US Ambassador to Turkey has looked into all of these allegations and found there was no substance. The Turkish Government was cooperative and the Turkish and US Governments worked together on this. The subject has been exhausted and we haven't even heard an allegation in two years." In July 1974, after the first phase of the Turkish intervention, an international conference was held at Geneva between Turkey, Greece and Britain. It was agreed that Greek and Greek Cypriot forces would leave all the Turkish Cypriot enclaves, but showing their customary disregard for international agreements they proceeded instead to murder almost the entire civilian population of six Turkish Cypriot enclaves in both the north and south of the island, and despite the presence in Cyprus of UN troops. It is argued that even if the first phase of the Turkish intervention was legal the extension of the area under Turkish control in the second phase from 14th August to 16th August 1974 was illegal. The German newspaper Die Zeit wrote on 30th August 1974 "the massacre of Turkish Cypriots in Paphos and Famagusta is the proof of how justified the Turkish were to undertake their (August) intervention". go to top More Massacres of Turkish Cypriots In the village of Tokhni on 14th August 1974 all the Turkish Cypriot men between the ages of 13 and 74, except for eighteen who managed to escape, were taken away and shot. (Times, Guardian, 21st August) In Zyyi on the same day all the Turkish-Cypriot men aged between 19 and 38 were taken away by Greek-Cypriots and were never seen again. On the same day Greek-Cypriots opened fire in the Turkish-Cypriot neighbourhood of Paphos killing men, women, and children indiscriminately. On 23rd July 1974 the Washington Post reported "In a Greek raid on a small Turkish village near Limassol 36 people out of a population of 200 were killed. The Greeks said that they had been given orders to kill the inhabitants of the Turkish villages before the Turkish forces arrived." (See also Times, Guardian, 23rd July). "The Greeks began to shell the Turkish quarter on Saturday, refugees said. Kazan Dervis, a Turkish Cypriot girl aged 15, said she had been staying with her uncle. The (Greek Cypriot) National Guard came into the Turkish sector and shooting began. She saw her uncle and other relatives taken away as prisoners, and later heard her uncle had been shot." (Times 23.7.74) "Before my uncle was taken away by the soldiers, he shouted to me to run away. I ran to the streets, and the soldiers were shooting all the time. I went into a house and I saw a woman being attacked by soldiers. They were raping her. Then they shot her in front of my eyes. I ran away again and Turkish Cypriot men and women looked after me. They were escaping as well. They broke holes in the sides of houses, so we could get away without going into the streets. There were lots of women and children screaming, and soldiers were firing at us all the time." On 28th July the New York Times reported that 14 Turkish-Cypriot men had been shot in Alaminos. On 24th July 1974 "France Soir" reported "The Greeks burned Turkish mosques and set fire to Turkish homes in the villages around Famagusta. Defenceless Turkish villagers who have no weapons live in an atmosphere of terror and they evacuate their homes and go and live in tere a shame to humanity." On 22nd July Turkish Prime Minister Ecevit called upon the UN to "stop the genocide of Turkish-Cypriots" and declared "Turkey has accepted a cease-fire, but will not allow Turkish-Cypriots to be massacred" (Times 23rd July). At the beginning of the Second Geneva Conference he said "A solution which is not based on geographical separation will not work. It is out of the question for us to entrust the safety of the Turkish Cypriots to the Greeks, who cannot even rule themselves. The areas around the Turkish forces are being mined, and the Turkish Cypriot villages are still under siege." The UK House of Commons Select Committee on Cyprus reported in 1976 "the second phase of military operations was inevitable in the view of your committee as the position reached by Turkish forces at the time of the first ceasefire was untenable militarily" Sir Anthony Kershaw MP explained the situation as follows in his speech on 23rd October 1990: "In order to protect the Turkish Cypriots, Turkey intervened in exercise of her rights under article 4 of the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee. No one has ever suggested that was illegal but they have gone on to say that the continuing use of troops, not to restore the 1960 Constitution but to enforce partition was illegal. But does this not ignore the reality of the situation? In law it is said that the Turks were invoking the Guarantee; but to say that they were obliged to work for no result except the restoration of the 1960 Constitution is absurd. That Constitution had ceased to exist. The reconciliation of the law with the actual political situation, or indeed with ordinary common sense, was becoming more difficult. The Turks came to protect the lives of the Turkish Cypriots and they had good reason to know that the restoration of the 1960 Constitution was not the way to do that. The only way to do that was with troops on the ground." "Turkey intervened to protect the lives and property of the Turkish-Cypriots, and to its credit it has done just that. In the 12 years since, there have been no killings and no massacres" Lord Willis (Lab.) House of Lords 17th December 1986 (Hansard, col.223) On 12th March 1977 Makarios declared "It is in the name of ENOSIS that Cyprus has been destroyed." Turkey has since that time encouraged the Turkish Cypriots to negotiate an agreed alternative to the 1960 Republic, and Turkey has supported the acceptance by the Turkish Cypriots of successive UN plans. On 14th June 1986 The Times reported that "the UN Secretary-General had cast his usual diplomatic discretion aside to blame the Greek Cypriot community for obstructing his attempts at a negotiated solution to the Cyprus dispute...The warning was a rare concerted public effort to bring home the message to the Greek Cypriots that time was not on their side. with the Turkish Cypriots having firmly placed themselves in the right by accepting the UN package the door was open for further consolidation of their Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus". By Resolution 889 (1993) the Security Council "welcomes the declared support of the Government of Turkey for the package of confidence-building measures." Greek Cypriots claim that today dreams of ENOSIS are dead. This is improbable so long as the Greek Ortdohox Church has power and influence, but even if it were true the Turkish Cypriots have as much reason to fear Greek Cypriots as Greek domination.

85 again....to learn the truth that all the world knows and you are closing your eyes..... THE FOLLOWING WORDS I FOUND THEM IN THE INTERNET IN DIFFERENT AND ENGLISH SITES AND COPY-PASTED THEM HERE AS IT WAS. I PUT IN THE GOOGLE ''GREECE IS THE BIRTHPLACE'' AND THE FOLLOWING PHRASES (AND MANY MORE) CAME OUT AS A RESULT IN DIFFERENT ABROAD SITES. # Greece is a country of a rich cultural heritage. Democracy was invented in Athens, Greek culture is the mother of Roman culture and has very much influenced other civilisations. # Ancient Greek culture, particularly as developed in Athens, was the principal source of Western civilization. # Ancient Greece was a great civilization from which came major contributions to present-day society. Greece is the birthplace of the first Olympic games, great minds like Aristotle, Alexander the Great and Plato, and is home to the breathtaking, ancient architecture of the Acropolis in Athens # Greece is the birthplace of civilization # greece is the cradle of western civilization # Greece is the birthplace of the “father of medicine” Hippocrates, who believed the body should be treated as a whole and that food should be medicine # greece is one of the oldest civilizations # greece is the land where the ancient gods chose to reside # The pillar of Western civilization, Greece is the birthplace of democracy and the Olympics, the land of Plato, Sophocles and Homer.

A country where human beings loved working with their hands to create works of art, in which a large number can still be admired today. # Not surprisingly, Greece is the birthplace of contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. While Greece's gifts to Western culture may need no testimony, many are unfamiliar with the hearty, flavorful dishes originating in the Isles # Greece is the birthplace of one of the world's oldest civilizations, the legacy of which can still be seen in its numerous monuments throughout the country # Greece is the birthplace of western civilization, the place that launched our history, art and philosophy # Greece, of course, is known not only as the birthplace of history and philosophy, but of classic art. # Greece is the birthplace of western wine culture, spreading their appreciation and expertise throughout the Mediterranean over 4,000 years ago # Greece is the birthplace of western art, philosophy and drama. It is the cornerstone of civilisation and wherever you travel there, you will find evidence of a glorious past. Greece offers travellers a unique blend of beautiful Mediterranean landscape, overwhelming history and great hospitality. # Greece (Hellas) is the birthplace of Democracy and modern conventions. Thousands of years ago, Greece had already gained stature as a democracy nation. Hellas is also the birthplace of the Philosophy, Tragedy, Mathematics, Physics and Biology as well as the Olympic Games. A nation with more than three thousand years history! The Classic Years, the Alexandrine and the Roman Period are in perfect harmony with the Greek-Orthodox Spirit of the Byzantine Times as well as with the Neo-Hellenic (i.e.new-Greek) Culture. Greece is the birthplace of Homeros, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Eukleides, Socratis, Plato, Pericles, Sofocles, Democritos, Aristotle and Alexander the Great. On the other hand, the Byzantine Empire was that rescued, developed and spread the Hellenic Civilisation to the other European and Asian Nations. # Greek philosophers and political leaders -- Cleisthenes and Pericles and their successors -- had great influence upon America's Founding Fathers in their creation of these United States. We, as a nation, owe a great debt to Greece. Greece is the birthplace of democracy, as we know it. Thomas Jefferson said, "To the ancient Greeks, we are all indebted for the light which led ourselves (American colonists) out of Gothic darkness." # Greece is the birthplace of democracy. The land that has enriched Western civilization with its history, philosophy and many other academic influences. Geometry, architecture, drama, philanthropy, and music have traveled globally from ancient Greece and have become the foundations of worldly theories, concepts and ideas. Furthermore, the Greek language has enriched other languages with many words. The unique and most delicious Greek cuisine, consists of many specialties, all cooked with care, mastery, love and excellence. The Greek cooking is distinguished with olive oil, herbs, and spices like basil, oregano, daphne, parsley; whilst the original dishes of mousaka, souvlaki and horiatiki salata (to mention a few) decorate each table deliciously. Lastly, let us not forget one of the most important international events which unite each nation in brotherhood, the Olympic Games, born in Greece, 776 B.C. in the spirit of world peace.

Today, a modern infrastructure, new airports, and world-connected communications provide the highest standards of service, both above and below water. A warm, dry climate supports thousands of uninhabited islands surrounded by the cleanest seas in all Europe. People are friendly, traditional, educated, and hospitable. Expect delicious local food, spirited entertainment, and unparalleled sightseeing. # Greece is the birthplace of democracy, theatre, philosophy and sport. # As ancient Greece is the birthplace of democracy, and, indeed the very underpinnings of the American way of life, so too was the American revolution the model for the modern Greek independence movement that began 168 years ago. In fact, Greeks used the United States Declaration of Independence as the archetype for their own declaration. Many American volunteers sailed to Greece to participate in Greece's war for independence. As Will Durant wrote: Greek civilization is alive * * * it moves in every breath of mind we breath * * * so much of it remains that none of us in one lifetime could absorb it all. Greece is the bright morning star of that Western civilization which is our nourishment and life. Indeed, Percy Bysshe Shelly wrote: We are all Greeks! Our laws, our literature, our religion, our art, have their roots in Greece. Herro hera elefteria! Long live freedom! # Greece is the birthplace of athletics # Greece is the birthplace of philosophy # 4,000 years of history and tradition is revealed in front of your eyes, from Mycenae to Olympia and Macedonia, from the incomparable sculptures of the Golden Age (Acropolis, Delphi) to the Byzantine cultural heritage (Mystras, Meteora). Greece is the birthplace of democracy. It is hard to imagine what civilised life would be like today without the influence of ancient Greece. # Greece is the birthplace of one of the world's oldest and most glorious civilizations # Ancient Greece is the birthplace of the earliest written western theories about physiology (500-300BC). Hippocrates (circa 460-377BC) makes no mention of the spirit. Plato (circa 428-347BC) proposed that mind and body were separate entities # Greece is the birthplace of the greatest philosophers (Socratis, Thales, Plato, Aristotle), the author of the first great European literary work, Homer, the great tragedy writers (Sophocles, Euripides, Aeschylus), the father of medicine Hippocrates and so many others! # As scholars have noted, Greece is the birthplace of the art of rhetoric, grammar, and logic. While "many other ancient civilizations produced literature, only the Greeks produced analytic, expository treatises that attempted to discover the actual bases of human communication" (Murphy & Katula, A Synoptic History of Classical Rhetoric, 1994, p. x). # ancient Greece is the birthplace Western philosophy & science, including astronomy. Yes, I know the Egyptians were astronomers too, but that was mainly in Ptolemeic Egypt, which for all intents and purposes was essentially Greece. Sorry to be so droll, but I answer these questions about ten times a week. # Greece is the birthplace of Western civilization and modern thought. Greece is the home of Aristotle, Plato, Homer, and of the Olympic Games # Greece is the birthplace of mathematics # GREECE IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF DEMOCRACY, THE CREATOR OF SCIENCE AND ART, THE HOME OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND THE BEST PART OF EUROPE. # ...... ..... .. GUYS COOL DOWN...HISTORY IS HISTORY AND THE TRUTH ALWAYS REMAIN TRUTH. NOBODY CAN CHANGE IT. READ OUR HISTORY, IT WILL MAKE YOU BETTER PERSONALITIES...http://www.ancientgreece.com/ WHY ANYBODY IN THE WORLD HAVE NOT RECOGNISED ''TURKISH REPUBLIC OF NOTHERN CYPRUS''????AHHHH??? ONLY TURKEY... WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY?? MY NATION IS GLORIOUS. WE LIVE IN THIS REGION FOR 8000 YEARS AND SO. IONIA (ASIA MINOR) HAD TO BE IN GREEK TERITORY. ALSO, CONSTANTINOUPOLI (INSTABUL), EASTERN THRACE, NORTH PART OF MACEDONIA AND NORTH PART OF IPIROUS. ALL THOSE REGIONS WAS GREEK FROM THE ANCIENT TIMES. SO!!!SAY THANKS GOD AND STOP TALKING. WE ARE IN EUROPEAN UNION 25 YEARS. YOU ARE ALL BEGING TO ENTER EU. WE HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO JEALOUS. COME DOWN....AND GIVE US THE RESPECT WE DESERVE. ESPECIALY FOR YOU TURKISH PEOPLE, THE EUROPEANS DOES NOT WANT YOU TO ENTER EU(WHY REALLY????LOL). WE TRY TO CONVISE THEM SO YOU CAN HAVE A CHANCE TO BE A NORMAL COUNTRY. WE TRY TO ENTER ALL OUR NEIGHBORHOODS IN EU,IN ORDER TO MAKE OUR REGION MORE ''EUROPE''. RESPECT AS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BESIDES YOU NEED US SO PROUD TO BE HELLENAS (GREEK)... **GEORGE FROM ATHENS**

86 Hellenas, your thoughts are good and I respect most of them. I Agree with you that History is History and therefore we should learn from mistakes we have done in the past. In order to make a better Europe we need to help each other and also respect each other views, habits, traditions, religions etc. This is the only way to survive and to live in Peace. I can tell you that the only one reason why we are not in the EU yet is because we are a Muslim nation with different views and traditions which reflects somehow a bad picture to the Christian countries within the EU especially when it comes to human rights. However, the day will come when we will join the EU sooner or later because Europe need us as well ie. in terms of geographical and economical aspects. Kind regards to you Hellenas, Iskender

87 to iskinder. I am happy that you agree with me and give respect. We want you in EU. You are neighborhoods and it will be good to both off us. We must forget the past, that is for sure. I just want to say to you that Croatia is a muslim country too, but there are no any reactions in their entrance. We have no problem with muslims. We respect your culture and habits. The same we want for us. last years some FYROMians drive us nuts...we need support to restore some truths..

88 Hellenas, thanks for your response and your opinion about Turkey's entry in the EU. I am always happy if I get to know intellectual people with a common political sense like yourself. Can I just say that Croatia is not a Muslim country. Croatia is 100% Christian and they will join the EU only if they will send their war criminals to Den Haag for what they have done against civilians during the Yugosllavian war. If Turkey were to join the EU we would be the only Nation in Europe ever who is 100% Muslim. I am very interested to know about what is going on with some FYROMians?? and what we can do to find a peaceful solution in order to resolve these issues once and for all? If you can, please give some background information about that as I would be very much interested to know the current status. Talk to you soo, Hellenas. Regards, ISKENDER

89 Dear Iskender Macedonia is a kingdom of ancient greece. Today, after so many years and too many wars, the region of Macedonia is the Nothern part of Greece between Epirus, Thrace and Thessaly. A little part of Northern ancient Macedonia seperated today between Yugoslavia and Bulgaria.Yugoslavia has a 15% bulgaria a 7% and greece has the rest in our territory. After the fall of Yugoslavia, the south region of Yugoslavia, that has in its territory the little nothern piece of Macedonia, wants to be named as the republic of ''Macedonia''. They claim that they are macedonians and that they own the name. Greece, reacted (offcourse) in this and all the situation went in the united nations. Provisionally UN named this country as FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) until a solution come out. All the world knows the truth. Macedonia is a greek province, Alexander the Great is our ancestor, it is a part of our great history, he spoke greek, he loved greece, and Alexander spread greek culture in all over Asia.He is greek with macedonia origin (as i have Athenian origin, my father Thessaly origin, my mother Pelloponisos origin etc..) and he was born in Pella, a city near Thesalonika. In Fyrom live Albanians, SLavs, Bulgarians and they speak a lunguage with Slavobulgarian roots, that they baptished it ''Macedonians''.The people have no history and roots, and they want to steal a part of our history. After 13 years of discussions in UN, Mathiew Nimits proposed a name for this country. He proposed ''Republika Makedonija-Skopje''and he said that macedonia is very connected with greek history and must be a difference with that. Skopje is their capital and that name is much better from simply ''Macedonia''.FYROMians look that they disagree with that. They want simply macedonia. They insist. Greece after those years of arguments says that this proposal is a good start for negotiation to end this disagree. If they insist in that, greece cannot accept it. All greeks are very upset, expesially the greeks in Northern Greece, in macedonia. This is the history in sort words. Those people are unacceptable. The fact is that in those years some countrys in the world regognised this country as ''Macedonia''(for personal reasons) (including Turkey of course) and FYROMians became intolerant and now they think that they have hopes. They dont know that greece will prevent their EU efforts with the name ''Macedonia''. It is an opportunity for them to end this argument. george the athenian.

90 Listen you stupids skopijans you wanna what? you wanna fuck with us? Cause they stupids in usa recongnised you as Macedonia just to stabilizate your unstable country you 'll tell us now that you are Macedonias? from where re? Looks into your country how many diferent polulations from diferent nations exist! No Macedonias are there.. And even if you want to call you as Macedonia you have to be thanksfull for this name cause is part of our history and this is inside us and you and noone will never steal it even if he gonna use it. Greek people are one of most peacfull and good-heart nation like of the few on this fucking age today. But you want to know soemthing if you still didnt realize? Dont try to fuck with us, greeks remains all but until one limit. Dont fucking jokes with our history you sily. Believe me that Greece want to help each and every country in Balkans and also FYROM to a European future that all together as in the West Europe will live together a better life. Greece until today rich that point , today Greece is inside everything and this shows our big different.BUT we want the same for our friends. IF you dont want to be, NEVER we dont fucking care get it? Just understand that you cant play as you like with history and especially with our Hellenic history. Am tired of speaking and even ungry just one more thing , many time i see a stupid thing writen from Skopjians that cause Macedonias attack to Athens that means that they were not Greeks . Hehe in all Greek history my friends all the Greek parties were fighting between them all the time, you dont know about the wars between Athens and Sparta? you dont know between Athens, Thebes.. READ AND LEARN history first!! Cause greeks between them were fighting that dosent means that were not greeks! Ofcourse they were despite that they were fighting Only Greeks can take parts in Olympic games and Macedonias as Athenians,Spartians,Thebeies,Eretries,etc etc they did no other has right to take place and that second improvment. Religion the same dialect Greek as so many other dialects! And so many thing more..IN ALL HISTORY Even if you go to today Afganistan there in the montains exist still an ancient race called "Callas" and they say that they are coming from "Great Alexander the king of Makedonians the GREEK" that also writen in a old statue-table nearby India "Here came the king of macedonias Alexander the Greek". Hehe what do you think, that Periclis par example cause he was the king of Athens he is not Greek but Athenian? hehe ..learn history is writen everywhere! Thats still exist, so you can still what you want but not our hearts not what we are and not our histiory! Macedonia was is & will be Greece. Thanks &*and sorry for my bad english.

91 Well done my friend Alexandros. All Greeks are united against anyone who try to insult our history. We are SO PROUD of our nation that we don't accept things like that. YOU ARE NOT MACEDONIAS! ACCEPT IT AT LAST. I know that you wish to be, but sorry you are not....find your roots in Slavs and Bulgaria. You are not greeks!You were in yugoSLAVIA..!..''SLAVIA''..! you speak a slavobulgarian dialect...YOU HAVE NO RELATION WITH MACEDONIA-MACEDONIANS-GREEKS. You are something different. in your country there are many nations. ALBANIANS-SLAVS-BULGARIAN. What the fuck relation have all of them with macedonia and greece??? It is clear.NOTHING Macedonians spoke and speak Greek Macedonians participated in Olympic Games, as the rest of Greeks. In Olympic Games was accepted only Greeks. Macedonians had the same religion with the rest greece.Olympian Gods. Alexander the great went to Persia for revenge because Persians had made disasters in Athens and other citys of greece. Alexander the great spreed the Greek culture all over Asia. Alexander's teacher was Aristotle Alexander favorite hero was Herculys and Achilees. Alexander the great WAS SPOKEN GREEK. As my friend alexandros told before, Greeks made many wars beetwen them. Macedonia vs Athens, Athens vs Sparta, Athens vs Thebes, and all of them in different periods had the upper hand in ancient Greece. BUT they were united in outside threats, as Persia. SO DONT FUCK WITH AS AND COME DOWN GEORGE THE ATHENIAN

92 ALSO..... EVEN the name of Alexander the Great is Greek: ALEXANDROS = ALEX + ANDRAS = neutralisation + man = the man who predominates the other men! HIS FATHER: PHILLIP = PHILOS + IPPOS = FRIEND + HORSE = THE MAN WHO LOVES THE HORSES. HIS MOTHER: OLYMPIADA = THE NAME OF OLYMPIC GAMES FROM OLYMPIA IN PELLOPONISOS. WHAT ELSE????????..... GEORGE THE ATHENIAN

93 when greeks with go with albanian women they get disease. Thats all off you albanians emigrate to greece. You are all over the world but still say your country is great.But no one lives there. 1 Greek better than 10 Albanians. In terms of anything. Lets not compare fighting moral in war. What has albania ever been up against to? Well greece has never been in conflict with a smaller nation than its itself. Second world war italians then germans,before turkey,before persia and better stop you dont have onne to come up with. What does that fighting always for freedom make us? Heroes. WHAT ARE YOU?YOU JUST LOOK FOR A BETTER LUCK. Learn from greek behaviour through history and some time you might be able to call yourself great. Not open the doors to germans and italians like pussies. Next time bendover as well and let them fuck you like great albanians you are going to resist with your ass.

94 Hahahaha... 1 Greek better than 10 Albanians??? You must be fucking jocking you GYPSY. Look in the mirror and ask yourself why the fuck do we greeks look so shitty and i bet with you the mirror will answer back and say, because god has also created the other side the shitty side of this world, namely the greeks. Try it, gypsy!!! You, greek shitbag, one day the time will come when we with out turkish brother and our brothers and sisters, the Americans will fuck you completely!! Your shitty population is declining gypsie and this day by day. You know that when i was at school in Germany I felt sorry for the greeks because all the time they used to even mention turkey in our history classes the turkish went and kicked their shitty faces with their boots during the lessons. You greeks are so shitty and so fucking scared that the whole world knows about that (Especially the GOOD TURKISH). Besides, why the fuck do you think that Alexander the Great was Greek. How the fuck do you know that??? You scumbag. Only because he knew maybe how to speak Greek or maybe because lived in Greece or Macedonia doesn't make him Greek, you gypsie son of a bitch!!! Everything what is in the greek books in terms of the greek warriors in the ancient greek time were never greeks but either Troyans or Dardanians/Illyrians. We are the true Illyrians of the Balkan that is why our language differs from the slavic ones.

95 The ancient Greek historian Diodorus wrote much of the history of Macedonia from the times of Philip II and Alexander the Great up to the last Macedonian king Perseus. In his writings, Diodorus is clear that the ancient Macedonians were a distinct nation, not related to any of the Balkan peoples (Greeks, Thracians, and Illyrians). The below 40 quotes from his books XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXII, XXVIII, XXIX, XXXI, and XXXII are indeed an overwhelming proof of that: [1] For even Greeks – Thespians, Plataeans and Orchomenians, and some other hostile to the Thebans who had joined the king (of the Macedonians) in the campaign. 17.13.5. [2] For many days the king lay helpless under his treatment, and the Greeks who had been settled in Bactria and Sogdiana, who had long borne unhappily their sojourn among peoples of another race and now received word that the king has died of his wounds, revolted against the Macedonians. They formed a band of 3000 men and underwent great hardship on their homeward route. Later they were massacred by the Macedonians after Alexander’s death. 17.99.5-6. [3] The Macedonians and Alexander backed Coragus because he was one of them while the Greeks favored Dioxippus. 17.100.4. [4] Then the Macedonian (Coragus) poised his long lance and charged, but the Greek (Dioxippus), when he came within reach, struck the spear with his club and shuttered it. After these two defeats, Coragus was reduced to continuing the battle with sword, but as he reached for it, the other leaped upon him and seized his swordhand with his left, while with his right hand the Greek upset the Macedonian’s balance and made him lose his footing. 17.100.6-7 [5] He (Alexander the Great) was plainly disappointed at the defeat of the Macedonian. Dioxippus released his fallen opponent, and left the field winner of the resounding victory and bedecked with ribands by his compatriots, as having brought a common glory to all Greeks. 17.101.1-2. [6] From Europe, the Greek cities AND the Macedonians also sent embassies, as well as the Illyrians and most of those who dwell about the Adriatic Sea, the Thracian peoples and even those of their neighbors the Gauls, whose people became known then first in the Greek world. 17.113.2. [7] When Perdiccas heard of the revolt of the Greeks, he drew by lot from the Macedonians 3000 infantry and 800 horsemen. 18.7.3 [8] They (the Greeks) had more then 20000 foot soldiers and 3000 horse. 18.7.2. 3000 of these 23000 Greeks were led by a "traitor" who "left his allies without warning and withdrew to e certain hill, taking his 3000 men". 18.7.6. [9] When oaths to this effect had been sworn and the Greeks were interspersed among the Macedonians, Pithon was greatly pleased, seeing that the affair was progressing according to his intentions; but the Macedonians remembering the orders of Perdiccas and having no regard for the oaths that had been sworn, broke faith with the Greeks. Setting upon them unexpectedly and catching them off their ground, they shot them all down with javelins and seized their possessions as plunder. Pithon then, cheated of his hopes, came back with the Macedonians to Perdiccas. 18.7.8-9 [10] When Alexander died a short time thereafter and left no sons as successors to the kingdom, the Athenians ventured to assert their liberty (from Macedonia) and to claim the leadership of the Greeks. 18.9.1 [11] When the Aetolians listened to him gladly they gave him 7000 soldiers, he sent to the Locrians and the Phocians and the other neighboring peoples and urged them to assist their freedom and rid Greece of the Macedonian despotism. 18.9.5. [12] The decree of the Assembly of Athens: "people should assume responsibility for the common freedom of the Greeks and liberate the cities that were subject to (Macedonian) garrisons; that they should prepare 40 quadriremes and 200 triremes (ships); that all Athenians up to age of 40 should be enrolled; that three tribes should guard Attica, and that the other seven should be ready for campaign beyond the frontier; that envoys should be sent to visit the Greek cities and tell them that formerly the Athenian people, convinced that all Greece was the common fatherland of the Greeks, had fought by see against those (Macedonian) barbarians who had invaded Greece to enslave her, and that now too Athens believed it necessary to risk lives and money and ships in defense of the common safety of the Greeks." 18.10.1-3. [13] Of the rest of the Greeks, some were well disposed toward the Macedonians, others remained neutral. 18.11.1 [14] A few of the Illyrians and the Thracians joined the alliance (with the Greeks) because of their hatred of the Macedonians. 18.11.1-2 [15] As soon as, however, as he learned of the movement concerted against him by the Greeks, he left Sippas as general of Macedonia, giving him a significant army and bidding him enlist as many men as possible, while he himself, taking 13000 Macedonians and 600 horsemen, set out from Macedonia to Thessaly (into Greece). 18.12.2 [16] Now that this great force had been added to the Athenians, the Greeks, who far outnumbered the Macedonians, were successful. 18.12.4 [17] As the Macedonians defended themselves stoutly, many of the Greeks who pushed on rashly were killed. 18.12.1-2 [18] Antiphilus, the Greek commander, having defeated the Macedonians in a glorious battle played a waiting game, remaining in Thessaly and watching for the enemy to move. The affairs of the Greeks were thus in thriving condition, but since the Macedonians had command of the sea, the Athenians made ready other ships… 18.15.7-8. [19] Then after such a combat I have described, the battle was broken off, as the scales of victory swung in favour of the Macedonians. More then 500 of the Greeks were killed in the battle, and 130 of the Macedonians. 18.17.5 [20] The commandant of the garrison of that city, Archelaus, who was a Macedonian by RACE, welcomed Attalus and surrendered the city to him… 18.37.3-4. [21] Seleucus and Pithon again tried to persuade the Macedonians to remove Eumenes from his command and to cease preferring against their own interests a man who was a foreigner and who had killed very many Macedonians. 19.13.1 [22] Peucestes (Macedonian commander) had 10000 Persian archers and slingers, 3000 men of every origin equipped for service in the Macedonian array, 600 Greek and Thracian cavalry and more then 400 Persian horsemen. 19.14.5. [23] Although the risk involved in all these circumstances was clear, nonetheless she decided to remain there, hoping that many Greeks AND Macedonians would come to her aid by sea. 19.35.6. [24] Then, after making a truce with the other Boeotians and leaving Eupolemus as general for Greece, he went into Macedonia, for he was apprehensive of the enemy’s crossings. 19.77.5-6 [25] In this year Antigonus ordered his general Ptolemaeus into Greece to set the Greeks free… 19.77.2 [26] Ptolemaeus, the general of Antigonus, had been placed in charge of affairs thoughout Greece; 19.87.3 (not in Macedonia). [27] This was the situation in Asia and in Greece AND Macedonia. 19.105.4 [28] And first he planned to establish order in the affairs of Greece … and then go on against Macedonia itself if Cassander did not march against him. 20.102.1 [29] While these held office, Cassander, king of the Macedonians, on seeing that the power of the Greeks was increasing and that the whole war was directed against Macedonia, became much alarmed about the future. 20.106.1-2 [30] Demetrius was followed by 1500 horsemen, not less then 8000 Macedonian foot-soldiers, mercenaries to the number of 15000, 2500 from the cities throughout Greece. 20.110.4 [30] The utmost spirit or rivalry was not lacking on either side, for the Macedonians were bent on saving their ships, while the Siceliotes wished not only to be regarded as victors over the Carthaginians and the barbarians of Italy, but also to show themselves in the Greek arena as more then a match for the Macedonians, whose spears had subjected both Asia and Europe. 21.2.2 [31] Brennus, the king of the Gauls … invaded Macedonia and engaged in battle. Having in this conflict lost many man .. as lacking sufficient strength … when later he advanced into Greece and to the oracle of Delphi which he wished to plunder. 22.9.1-2 [33] A native of Terentum, Heracleides was a man of surprising wickedness, who had transformed Philip from a victorious king into a harsh and godless tyrant, and had thereby incurred the deep hatred of all Macedonians AND Greeks. 28.9.2 [34] Flamininus held that Philip (the Macedonian king) must completely evacuate Greece, which should thereafter be ungarrisoned and autonomous. 28.11.1 [35] To this Flamininus replied that there was no need of arbitration whom he ha wronged; furthermore he himself was under orders from the Senate to liberate Greece (from Macedonia). 28.11.3-4 [36] When the news of settlement reached him, Flamininus summoned the leading men of all Greece, and convoking an assembly repeated to them Rome’s good services to the Greeks. 28.13.2 (Macedonians excluded from the leading men of Greece) [37] In defense of the settlement made with Nabis he (Flamininus) pointed out that the Romans had done what was in their power, and that in accordance with the declared policy of the Roman people all the inhabitants of Greece were now free (of Macedonia), ungarrisoned, and most important of all, governed by their own laws. 28.13.3 [38] Philip threatens the Greek Thessalians: "They were not aware, he said, that the Macedonian sun had not yet altogether set." 29.16.1-2 [39] He said, namely, that after seeing the sun rise as he was about to begin transporting his army from Italy to Greece… five day later he arrived in Macedonia. 31-11.2-4 [40] Having as his accomplice a certain harpist named Nicolaus, a Macedonian by birth… 32.15.9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

96 ''Greeks'' mentioned in ancient writings is ''Hellenes'' (like Hellas=Greece), greeks is the translation in english. There were one of the many tribes as were the Athenians etc which all at the end gathered unified under the name Hellenes which is Greeks in english. I could write forever analysing all kind of crap mentioned here but I dont have the time. Sooner or later the world as you view it will end. Pray to your gods while you still can. + PAS MH ELLHN BAPBAPOS +

97 to bary. nice try BUT you forget (the best part) that in Ancient Greece all the regions was seperated and intepented BUT they all spoke GREEK, they all believed in Zeus, they all participated in Olympic Games an athletic event only for Greeks.From magna grecia (south italy) up to Ionia (Asia Minor-turkey) and cuprys and from Macedonia up to Crete and Alexandreia (north Egypt)Taking phrases and details from a whole history does nt make sense. The history that you mentioned is about Macedonia and not for all Greece, so it is natural to mention Macedonia seperatelly. This history you are talking about FOCUS in Macedonia, as there is history that focus in Athens, in Sparta, in Thrace, in Thessaly, in Ionia, in Magna Grecia, in Pelloponisos, in Mykines, in Minoan etc etc.... ALL OF THEM WERE PARTS OF ANCIENT GREECE. ALL OF THEM WERE, ARE AND WILL BE GREEKS. NOONE CAN CHANGE IT NOW. A NATION IN ORDER TO BE A NATION MUST HAVE: 1/ THE SAME LANGUAGE 2/ THE SAME RELIGION 3/ COMMON HABITS AND TRADITIONS THIS IS A REALLY NATION, AND SO WAS ANCIENT GREECE: A NATION THAT LIVES UNTIL TODAY. IT IS HARD BUT: ''PAS MI ELLIN BARBAROS'' IF YOU WERE MACEDONIAN YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE LITTLE PHRASE BEFORE. ALEXANDER THE GREAT WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT, AS ALL THE GREEKS OF COURSE. So my friend Bary, all the other are just efforts to deform the reality. Good effort but not enough to prove anything. Even the satanism can show arguments from Bible and make them seem different. BUT we all now that are false. Something like that are the arguments that you say to us. And please try to find answers to my points in that message and in my messages that i wrote before. ALEXANDER SAID IN THE BATTLE OF DARDANELIA TO HIS FIGHTERS: ''lets win, for the glory of GREECE!!!'' he was so right...THE GLORY OF GREECE. This glory we are trying to protect even today.He was fighting the barbarians to protect the culture of Greece. The Greek spirit and mind. The great civilization that gave birth to the most principalls values of mankind. GEORGE THE ATHENIAN

98 AND..even today in Greece we say our birthplaces. I am Athenian, my father is from Thesally, my mother is from Sparta, my grandfather is from Pergamon (Asia minor) my grandmother is from Crete, my oncle is Cypriot, my other grandfather Macedonian...etc etc..WE ALL ARE GREEKS, SPEAK GREEK, THINKING GREEK SO PROUD TO BE GREEKS GEORGE THE ATHENIAN

99 Don't talk bullshit greeks. You might tell all this you grandma' but no one else will take it seriously, i am telling you this, man cause you are talking only bullshit. Macedonia belongs to us and you will never take it from us as we have kicked your dirty asses always when you shitty greeks tried to take our homeland away from us. Piss off, greeks! Zoran

100 if you dare come to take it zoran (zoran!! even your name is barbarian. What the fuck relation has with Phillip and Alexandre??) ''MOLON LAVE'' WE ARE THE BEST IN THE WORST NEIGBORHOOD DREAM ON BARBARIANS democracy-art-sience-literature-sports-olympics-astronomy-mathematics-architecture-law-medicine-philosophy-drama-Tragedy-theatre....... Alexander the Great, Socratis, Pythagoras, Homer, Solon, Periklis, Thoukididis, Hrodotos, Esxilos, Aristotle, Sofoklis,....and SO many more....i need pages to finish. WE BROUGHT TO YOU THE LIGHT.FACE IT. THAT IS THE BIGGEST PAIN FOR YOU. TRUTH REMAINS TRUTH AND HISTORY REMAINS HISTORY, NOONE CAN CHANGE IT AND FOR SURE NOONE FYROMIAN (ALBANOBOULGAROSLAVIANS) CAN CHANGE IT. THATS MY ANSWER TO ALL OF YOU ANTHELLINES *GEORGE THE ATHENIAN*

101 This is a hilarious forum... 99% of people writing here seem to be retarded in some way or other, is that due to all your in_cestous behaviour in the Balkans? I have a great solution, why don't we drop A-bomba all over the Balkans!?... a great solution using your logic. We would get rid of all your petty problems... No dirty Albanians left to polute the south Balkans(and europe for that matter, as there seem to be an albanian on every street corner), fucking like rabbits having 50 kids in one family, and being the core distributer of heroin to the rest of Europe? Why we are at it we should bomb Greece as well, we wouldn't have to listen to gay greeks talk about ancient history when in the past hundred years the only thing they have achieved is to prostitute their islands to drunk Britts and Germans. Then we have the Croats and the Serbs... were to start, same people, same language but different religions... good reason to fight each other and kill each other? A-boms would do miracles here, we can help you there guys we can do the job for you and make a fantastic parking space of your contries as that would probably make more use of that waste of space that it is now. Then we have the turks... ohhh the turks, with their constan inferiority complex... ohh how they want to be europe and europeans, but hey guys guess what, 90% of your country is as much part of europe as say... Iraq, are we going to see Iraq in the the EU?... hmmm, don't think so why don't we A-bomb you and take care of your complex! Face up to your history and GET OVER IT! You just have to read the comments on this site to see why you belong in the stone age... This pathetic discussion ( if you can call this a discussion when the mental capacity is equal to a 5 year old) is primitive and sad ( although it gave me a few chuckles).

102 hey dudes... see the EUROMIL site ;-) lot of years the map say Skopje as Macedonia... after USA say Skopje Macedonia... then EUROMIL change the map to FYROM before some months ;-) hey dudes... i have lot to tell you ... for now i am busy...

THESSALONIKI IS THE CAPITAL OF MAKEDONIA REGION OF GREECE.-

103 WHY DO YOU FUCKING GREEKS TALK JUST BULLSHIT IN THIS FORUM??? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO CHALLENGE ALWAYS THE LITTLE ONE? DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT TURKEY WILL ONLY WATCH IF YOU WOULD ATTACK MACEDONIA OR SKOPJE OR ALBANIA OR EVEN BOSNIA??? I TELL YOU WHAT IF IT WOULD BE UP TO US, WE WOULD FUCKING TAKE OVER GREECE AND FUCKING SERBIA WITHIN ONLY 72 HOURS. BUT, IT IS OUR FRIENDS THE AMERICANS WHO WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO AND PRAY GOD THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ALIVE WHEN WE PAY YOU A "BLITZKRIEG" VISIT BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU THEN. UNFORTUNATELY, WE KILLED ONLY 4,8500,000 GREEKS DURING ALL THE WARS THAT WE HAD SO FAR, SO IT SEEMS THAT REST NEED TO BE FINISHED VERY SOON. THE AMERICANS MAY SHOW MERCY, BUT WE DON'T!!! DON'T EVER THINK THAT YOU CAN MESS WITH US TURKISH YOU ARE OUR SLAVE EVEN TODAY. YOU WERE OUR SLAVE FOR MORE THAN 400 YEARS!!!! WE KILLED YOU, WE FUCKED YOU, WE SLAUGHTERED YOU, WE RAPED YOU AND STILL YOU ARE SMALL TO US, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU USELESS NATION!!!!!!!! ....AND LEAVE THE OTHERS ALONE!!

104 To Viking, Who the fuck do you think you are to talk like an arrogant piece of shit? Do you really think you are much better than most of us in this forum to come up with this fucking stupid idea to nuke all us out!!! You sounds like one of these bloody Neo-Nazis who normally don't deserve to exist nowdays. You are a RACIST MOTHERFUCKER!!! We don't need people like you to judge others based on their religion, race, history, habits whatsoever. Although, we still find it difficult to leave in Peace with each other in the Balkans I strongly believe that in future all these Nations (Serbs, Croats, Greeks, Albanians, Macedonians, Bulgarians, Turks etc..) will be much closer integrated to each other so that all this hatress and prejudice against each other will be vanished once and for all because at the end of the we all are humans and humans learn through their histories and experiences to make a better life for tomorrow. This time will come but until then lots of barriers need to be abolished. A Proud Albanian from Illinois, USA USA FOREVER!!!

105 dear Kastrioti! I would suggest you read my comment once more before you open your gob in ignorance... most people on this forum refer to each other as "muthafuckaz" and other "cool" words, all they want to do is to invade each others contries and kill each other... greeks vs macedonians/albanians, macedonians vs albanians, serbs vs croats/albanians/bosnians/turks, turks vs greeks/serbs/bulgarians!! Balkan people are the most intolernat and racist on earth... Is this what you called civilized!? If this is civilized I don't want to know what uncivilized means in your contries... Also I noticed that you lack the ability to notice irony and sarcasm, which my hole text is made up of as I said before it reflects the retoric of the mentally declined people on this forum, so I just put myself on the same low level, get it now? So before you start throwing shit like neo-nazi and racist, see what irony and sarcasm means in a dictionary and ask your self what future the Balkans have when you can't come to terms with your history. Because if people in general think like the people on this forum about each other on the Balkans there isn't much of a future, or do you disagree. Ciao

106 Re malakes! Makedonia is greek, and will always remain greek! Stop stealing our history you lowsy, ugly cowards with big noses! PS. FREE CYPRUS FROM THE TURKS! //////FROM FC CREW (free cyprus crew) We are not kidding you lousy bastards!! History can't be re-written like a cd! Am I right, or am I righ!? Mia zwh elliniki!!!

107 Dear Viking, you seem to me to be a pathetic person if you really think that those sort of personalities in this Forum rule our countries in the Balkans or Eastern Europe. 97% of all those people in this Forum are unfortunately illiterates or just are about to leave after they are done with their secondary school and don't want to go any further. So, please don't think that all Balkanis are like those pasting their shitty texts in this forum. I am sure other countries have the same sort of psychos (look at Germans with their Neo-Nazis, English with their Hooligans etc.) The main problem with the most of the Eastern Europeans is that they are still behind (some 50-60 years)other industrialized countries and so they have to pick up with them especially when it comes to a higher education level. They still live with their old traditions and are to narrow to loose their conservative way of thinking in different aspects (ie. Politics, global view, history, religion, race etc. etc.). Also, there is a huge difference between being a blatherskite or an evil. Fortunately, those people here are all blatherskites. Normally, the most friendliest people in whole europe you will find are in the balkans, wherever you go (Greece, Turkey, Macedonia, Albania, Hungary, Yugosllavia etc.). This is a fact!! That is why people like you (German, Swedish, Norway, Danish etc.) go on holidays to Croatia, Greece etc. So, whatever bad you say and think in general about us Eastern Europeans is completely wrong and completely missunderstood. There are always good and bad people in each country in this planet so don't be like the germans who put one nation in a pot only because they have had a bad experience with someone before. That makes you then very naiv and stupid if you do think like that. Victory to All Good People in this Planet. God Bless America!!! Kastrioti

109 NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - EUROMIL till last month call Skopje as Macedonia, After USA say Skopje as Macedonia, before 2 months, EUROMIL change the name on map and post FYROM. USA say that they say SKopje as Macedonia is WRONG for now... European Union say NO to Skopje to use the "Republic Of Macedonia". The ancient name of area around skopje is Paionia and the new is VARDASKA... so i should we call them Republic Of Vardaska! Alexander the Great die at 323 but Slavs come balkans (Skopje people) at 5th century. They have NO connection with Alexander the Great. First Skopje president say that they are slavs just and they have no contact with alexander the great, macedonia and greeks. Skopje call Thessaloniki Solum, and they say that is the original name. But how that come when Thessaloniki is more old name (the half sister of Alexander) who is set by start? and the Skopje come in balkans at 5th century? What about Greek name cities into Skopje? You know that into skopje there are lot of Greek names Cities ;-) Macedonians talk Greek cuz simple they are greeks. Is like... A german from Kelts and a german from Vavarys... they both germans just from different areas. Like greece... Macedonian Greeks (a greek from macedonia area) Attica Greeks (a greek from attica area) Skopje say that Greeks make fake hsitorical things... How that come... when the discover of all that is by foregn ancients? like british, german, french etc. What about the ancient discovers into skopje into asia and arabia... that proof macedonians are greeks who talk greeks. Alexander the Great Kill Persians for the name of Greece! Lot of people think why Alexander fight greeks too... well did you know pelloponisean war? between greeks? Spartans and Atheneans? yes they both greeks... in ancient greece all is like city - countries. always greeks between have wars. But they fight together the foreign army... like persians. That proof it all. All greeks and onbly greeks can go to Olympic games ;-) there are lot of macedonians who go there...that means are greeks. ps. i have lot lot to say ;-) MACEDONIA IS GREEK. AND HISTORY TELL IT.

110 Is it me, or does every civilized country in the world (Greece, first and for most, America, France, England, Germany, etc) have a serious problem with poor, dirty, disgusting, stupid immigrants that flood their nation with filth? Whether its latin americans in America, the dredges of the Balkans in Greece, the muslims in France and England, or the Turks in Germany...they pollute any pure soil they touch, they bring the meaning of stupidity to a new low, and carry on like a bunch of inbred animals with no formal house-training. Is it any surprise no one wants you in their country? If you have such bride in your history and nation ::scoff:: then go back to your busted countries and fix THEM up rather than bring the rest of civilization down to your level. You are the uninvited house guests that can't take a hint. So we'll make it nice and clear...GET OUT! Of course, you may have to reads this a few more times before that inbred brain of yours can understand this message. So let me simplify this a bit: GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT. Rinse and repeat. Take two time daily before food. EI ELLADA POTE THEN PETHENI! P.S. To all my greek brothers out there, we are continuing the fight in America and cannot wait until our grand reunion with the motherland and we can all expel the foreign invaders from our sacred soil.

111 hey patriot what do you mean by saying " we are continuing the fight in America..." Are you completely fucked up??? I also am a proud american who does not allow any foreigners to make an assault upon our citizens, governments etc. So, in other words you greeks are seriously taking a dangerous step ahead if you think like a Nazi and not like a real Patriot. Besides, we americans do not support your politics anyway because we see things differently and we have never seen greeks as our real allies. I hope you understand why....!! Soultz

112 Proud American... Greeks control all parts of USA. Look at New York President ;-) he is Greek. YES YES, the New York President is GREEK. Also...what is american? hehe... anyone can be american...so is other the america other the usa and other the americans... all that are different topics dude. ALL GREEKS PLS CHECK BACK SOON ON: www.uigr.com and www.i-macedonia.com THX! HELLAS FOREVER REEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

113 Nice...another dispute among the millions i have seen ... For FYROM guys... History lesson at http://www.macedonia.com/english/ Ancient findings can prove much more than your fake claimings... As for Albanians... a mixed race , who claim to be from the famous ancient race of Illyrians ... no connection at all really as their race seased to exist right after the end of Roman Empire... History Lesson...No2 http://www.frosina.org/culturehistory/reviews.asp?id=122 Also for any person who thinks Greece or better named Hellas as "the ones from the rock of light"...well we have a saying here for all those who think they can prevail on our race...ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ... Most of the world tribes tried us, and ALL OF THEM (no exception) got tjei faces into dirt... from Romans (who were "Dazzled" by the Hellenic culture) , Turkish who even they were arround 400 years occupying they still were got rid of , to Mussolini Italians , Nazis.... what makes you think that YOU will manage better... so as i said...ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ... Gandalf

114 nice Hassan...really nice... Your vanity was one of the main reasons you need OUR approval in order to join E.U.... And it is sad that fanatics like you or your famous "wolves" are the ones responsible , for the backstep of your country... As for the 400 years... i think that the Hellenic Flag which is waving , right in front of your eyes at the eastern borders of Evros river , is all the answer you need... Btw... have you ever finished high school?... or is this the level of education you are receiving ...? BTW , capital writting is always something to look uppon as something ugly... Btw .. Turks?... If you really know your history , seltzuks were an "expelled tribe" by the Moggolians , who were outcasted from Asia... So do not speak of me about origin.. or even about culture... Thank God (or Allah if you wish) that there are people with some intelligence in your country and can help you , not fall into the "endless loop" of hate , which seems that you are.... Gandalf

115 The problem with the past is that we waste the present. Living in the word of the God and accepting and knowing the mistakes of the past can help the future in South-eastern Europe. By language the race is as below albanian - illirian 1, greek- illirian 2. this is for the old history in the midle term to these tow groups were aded, slavs, turks, and lately in the era of globalization english. Long live to engels in earth, out the evil.

116 To all anthellines of this forum... Our people, Greeks, is a nation with a glory ancient history...So, this people is VERY PROUD about his past. We breath, we dream, we live, we think, we work, with this. It is our fortune. We will never stop to talk about this. Like it or not, THATS IT. Try to get familiar with this. Facing the Greek history is like facing with the roots of western culture. Who that means your culture as it is today. All of our values are accepted today by all mankind. Democracy, philosophy, art, drama, medicine, athletism, olympics, poetry, sience, astronomy, architecture...etc.. Greeks as Homer, Aisxylous, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Periklis, Solon, Alexander the Great, Hippokratis, Pindaros, Hisiodos...and many many more had marked the history of all the mankind. This is accepted by all historians and scientists of the world. Why some of you people, dont have the bravery to accept the truth?? I am sure that even you, inside of you, know the truth. It is hard to accept it loud. The braves can do it. So try to be brave. Also, we respect all other cultures and nations and we want the same about us. We can not accept the deformation of history. Not a simply history like the others. A GREAT HISTORY. It is our obligation to protect it. *George the Athenian*

117 Hassan... Holding an MBA degree does not show on the languange you use, and that is why my reaction was that.. If you were not bussy in swearing me and just take a glance at those links (which on of them is in a London uni) you would see that my respond was based on logical arguments and not on swearings as yours was. One thing to remember though. Hellas and not Greece (which is a term brought up by you at first) is a country that has survived 5000 years of history and is still here. Your enterprise , (which i hope will profit enough)is aparted form several people , under different citizenships , right?... do you also behave in that way if someone is opposing you , even if he is negative in his ways (which i believe i was not)? Holding a degree does not , immediatelly make you civillised ... and that is a global truth not mine... You were help up by a phrase of mine which although was described a bit rough , it was the truth... Several thousands of people in Pelloponisos managed to cast away the occupying forces of an empire at that time.. Like it or not , it is the truth... Swearing wont get you anywhere, .. in fact if you could be kind enough to bring some arguments to support your words and not just curses , mayb ei would pay up more attention... As for the people of several nationalities which have , been in my country , it si true that there are people who behave like "racists".. but rotten apples exist in both sides of the story... Hellas is a country which is the "terminal" for many refugees from all over the eastern parts of the world... even from your own country.. Kurds , Iranians , Iraqis and many others who were driven away from their own country regimes (similar to the one Turkey had near to todays time.. i believe you are familiar with the term of "white cells")... We were open to ALL OF THEM, comparing to Italy or the rest of E.U. where you support... Germany and UK have published a law which is narrowing down all those visitors which is still not valid in our country... Also did you know that in order for you to join E.U. you were obliged to sign a treaty to limit the percentage of Turkish people travelling arround E.U for permanent staying in other countries?... Simple Turkish people and simple Hellines ( i realy do not like the term Greek so bare with me) do not have anything to separate trully... I have more friends than you can ever imagine from yoru parts and even travelled to many parts of your country.. Really nothing against them... History as the guy before me (Albanian soul) said, is to learn from mistakes and not to repeat them.. BTW ..Albanian soul... my regards for your comment... Also if you really want to know the truth about what is happening here, you will better visit us , with no prejudice and find out things on your own... Media tend to exagurate on things.... Yours and mine... but i think you know this... People in Balkans were always manipulated from the beggining of history as they are residents of a "Rich" area in many minerals and they are apart of a "node" that is connecting M.East-Asia-Europe-Africa ...A very significant part of teh world for anyone... History lesson for both of us here... remember the shift of the allies during the period of 1920s?... who and why they were supporting of , at that time?... I will help you a bit... take a look at your oil pipe at that time at your southern borders. I really have nothing against to you , personally.... i was just irritated by your curses and the lack of logical arguments... I am no fanatic and the sad part is that instead of having this post as a place to talk calmly , it is true that we fight with no real result... If you ever come to our country , i will be more than happy to show you arround... And for the record ... since you stated your proffesion, i will just pay you back with min e, in respect to your answer. I work as a professional Security Analyst in Electronical systems and i have pretty much worked with almost all nationalities of the world.. I am not arrogant , i am not pissing on anybody , but it is true that whoever is trying to take a part of my country with sneaky moves or even with direct approach he will find me infront of him.. and i believe the same thing will occur if that is the case for your country... Gandalf

121 my friends Kostas and Alekos It is not necessary to talk like that and you dont have to talk like that. It is not proper for us the Greeks. It is not fair to blaim a hole nation for the acts of the goverments and the army. I know that the most Turkish people are friendly and peacefull. And for sure the people of Turkey is misunderstood. The goverments and the army of Turkey have their benefits to act like that. It is well known that the army in Turkey plays a principall role. Of course Macedonia is Greek, and for sure Cuprys is a victim of Turkish acts. But the people of Greece and Turkey must stay friends, and not to talk bad about each other. We have so many facts and truths with us, so we must not loose our temper. I have attached before some things that prove the truth. So, we have to be calm and focus in our target. THE TRUTH. We are the peacefull power of Balkans and we must remain the same. We must make our neighboorhods peacefull countrys so we can make Balkans a peacefull region as the rest of western europe. We have the right we us. And for sure we will not let anybody steal our history. Friendly regards to all Balkans and especially to Greeks, my country. *George the Athenian*

122 MACEDONIA IS GREEK! when we say that...we not mean that we want the land of skopje or VARDASKA. we mean about the name. Macedonia is a greek name. Macedonia parts is between greece,vardaska(skopje) and bulgaria. Only greeks can use the name of Macedonia. NO ONE else. greece not want the land of skopje cuz if greeks have that problem believe that will gone a big war...not only for that land. if greece make a war in balkan be sure that will be a balkan whole war. whatever by our history we area civilization nation. so lets look the map: http://makedonia.cc.ece.ntua.gr/English/PageData/the_issue.htm the blue line around is the area of macedonia by all historicals..facts and ancinet documents. If skopje is macedonia...why they not talk greek? or why in 1992 start that problem? why them president say that they are slavs? :-p if skopje is macedonia then today we not talk about the name. greece use that name from ancient years. Have you see in any other country problem with the name? NO! only skopje like to STOLE history without proofs. GREECE have proofs about that macedonia is greek. example: in USA we have 51 states who make the USA. someone who in from California can say that is American(USA) from California. etc... like that what is the greek macedonian. macedonia is a region in greece. the 24% people in greece are macedonians who leave in greece talk greek call them selfs greeks and greek-macedonians and they say that in skopje are slavs. MACEDONIA IS ONE AND IS GREEK!

123 Thessaloniki voice, thats right! very good approach... I wonder when they will be able to understand us at last!!! We dont want to occupie them (skopians), we just dont want to use a name that belong to us! I know that our history is glorious and many want to share a little bit of its glory, BUT that's false. for example: see the political map of france in the site http://www.map-of-france.co.uk/ What would happen if near by the region No9 with name Alsace, out of the borders of France, was born a country that wanted to be named Republic of Alsace. ??? I think that France would be very upset. *George the Athenian*

124 Re malaka, dusan; FTUSAN! You are wrong you lousy big hairy and craaazy bignosed coward! We don't want your 3rd world country....bitch

125 DID THE ANCIENT MAKEDONIANS SPEAK SLAVIAN?! NOO!! FC Crew2005

126 DID THE ANCIENT MAKEDONIANS SPEAK SLAVISH?!?! NOO!! FC Crew2005

127 Dusan, words-words-words but not any facts... read above and try to answer with facts. We have so many facts that you can not imagine. READ SOME HISTORY.... what the fuck! is it neseserary to have all of those bad neigborhoods??? From the north to the east. From the bad to worst. why???...!

128 ...and what the fuck relation has your name Dusan or Zoran or whatever, with Alexander, Phillip, Olympiada, Voukefalas? Greek names, Greek words, Greek language! I can answer to you, nothing for sure. *the Athenian*

129 EVERYBODY HATES THE GREEKS. I WAS WATCHING THE OTHER NIGHT AMERICAN IDOL AND CONSTANTINE MAROULIS WAS THROWN OUT FROM THE STAGE LIKE A USELESS IDIOT. THIS REALLY DOES SHOW HOW HATRED THE GREEKS ARE EVEN IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. NO ONE LIKES YOU SHITTY GAY NATION, MAN!!! A GREEK LIFE DOESN'T MEAN NOTHING NOWADAYS AND YOUR HISTORY YOU CAN TAKE IT IN YOUR SHITTY GRAVES, BASTARDS!!! MIHAJLOVIC (SKOPJE)

130 it is useless to talk with a person of this level. I refer you to my answers above. ..so proud to be Greek, *the Athenian*

131 I am really getting bored of answering neive answers which are only full of curses and swearings , instead of logical arguments that can support their claimigs. Intelligent and educated people who are able to read history can draw their own conclusions... For the rest who are satisfying themselves with swearings and cursings... one phrase for them... "We can not beat idiots... they can not be defeated..." My regards to all intelligent people here. After all philosophy was born in Hellas... Gandalf

132 yes Gandalf, thats right philosophy, and so many other things were born here, in Greece (or Hellas). It will be better for all of you, to try to explore the Greek history, instead of trying to be against us. It will be good for you. Great Greeks have said many truths from ancient times. A lot of western values were born here. *the Athenian*

133 Dusan-FTUSAN; You use big words, mister smallcock...meet me and i'll show you who is lousy...you skopjans are all the same; JEALOUS OF THE GREEKS! FC Crew is coming!

134 Realy intresting discussion.just what is this magnificent discussion related with the poor macedonian man murdered? what a time waste I did for reading this stupid thing.

135 As i read this page i see only the skopje people (slavics or VARDASKA REPUBLIC people) just only the talk like "fuck" or "bastard" or "hate"... etc. and only from that talk can you understand... annoying people who have no proofs and they talk air. i HAVE proofs and i SHOW! where are yours slavic proofs? :-p anyway it doesn't matter what you say... cuz the real is one, that macedonia is one and is hellenic. i remind again that the only nation in the world that call us HELLADA is the Skopje. why??????? everyone who can understand, understand :-p NOTES: Yunan= Ionas ... when iones go to asia they have first touch with arabs. arabs can't spell perfect Ionas then they say Yunas. thats how come. what Ionas is? the hellenic nation have 4 ways of people at ancient: Dwrieis,Aioleis,MAkedones and Iones. Greek= Greacus= Greek Warrior in war fight. Romans, Italians know hellines as Greeks by write of greek philosopher who write greeks into wars as greacus. About "Macedonci"= means the macedonia way AND not macedonia as skopje think :-p if you read ancint papers you will understand. like Atticanci is the Macedonci come too by greeks. I have so many things to say. :-) Macedonia is one and is Hellenic... The best example is the CYPRUS. YES YES... anyone remember the "Kupros Ellas Enwsis"? i remember perfectly. and i can say that cyprus is not a country, cyprus is another island of greece, the greatest land of greece. how become a country? cyprus become a country to stop the war and don't make problems. Within that years the Kupriaki Lira is the most top money in the world. Also now with cyprus we have 2 members into EU. :-) If you ask cypriots what are you... im sure they will tell you GREEKS proudly as real. example: cyprus is country right? but what cypriot are? cypriots are GREEKS cypriots. that not means they half greeks example: greek macedonian (greek who stay and is from macedonia) greek cypriot (greek who stay and is from cyprus) greek athenian (greek who stay and is from Athens) greek pontios (greek who stay and is from ponto) HELLAS FOREVER special: Macedonia Cyprus Hpeiros Costantinople Pontos M.Asia are Hellenics :-)

136 If you consider Macedonians as Greeks just because they lived under Greek rule for some time and spoke the same language (because of the barbarian Greek rulership forcing them to)you can certainly consider Greeks as Turks since they lived under Turkish rule for centuries, saving one difference that Turks (unfortunately) give them freedom to let their language, religion and culture to prolong. _________________________________________][-][_________

137 You not understand. Skopje people who is as well SLAVIC they live under Yugoslavia. cuz they are part of slavs who talk slav language. MACEDONIANS are HELLENICs who talk GREEK and live in Greece. Into greece there are 3 millions Macedonia people who call them selfs Greeks and they DON'T Accept Vardaska (Vardaska = Fyrom). So Macedonians they live to them land...that land they want. Slavics are out of Macedonia region and they have no access to name of Macedonia... Just they only want to stole history cuz they are a nation that NOT like to accept them slavic history and they want to stole. Also barbarians are the slavic as world history... Greeks Never attack to Another nation. ;-) A question for you... Fyrom say that they are macedons... well the question is..: How they can be macedons when the have come at balkan at 5th century when Alexander The Great have die about 323? and how come as Slavs Fyroms say that Thessaloniki name is Solum? how come the Solum name? and how they can say that name when at history found always found only the name Thessaloniki also check the Letters of Apostole Pavlos (Paull) who he write to THESSALONIKI. and how fyroms try to say Solum when Thessaloniki is the start name of this city who taken the name by Alexander half sister name? And how they can talk fyroms about them macedonian language...when always we found macedonia documments with GREEK language... and how come when Fyromians language is already SLAVIC ? ... i have a lot... for... First answer to this one question ;-) Greeks NOT want the land of Skopje cuz Macedonia is till the place Monastiri. So Skopje - Fyrom or better Vardaska is NOT Macedonia. Just we NOT allow a foreign barbarian nation to stole a greek name like Macedonia who have big history and is a part of greece. Also the first President of Skopje - Fyrom - Vardaska said at 1992 that: "We are slavic who we come in balkan at 5 century and we have NO contact with Alexander The Great and Macedonians. We are Slavic nation." That is what said the first Skopje President at 1992. Also Greeks and Greece use as well the name of Macedonia and ONLY Greece use it. Till 1992 Fyrom name is VARDASKA or better REPUBLIC OF VARDASKA. Look History museum of Yugoslavia the maps. Why Skopje is the only country that call Greece as HELLADA? and how come Macedonia be Fyrom name... lets explain... the end -ia example: In English - In Greek (Hellenic) ------------------------------------ France Yallia Germany Germania England Agglia Turkey Turkia Macedonia Makedonia ------------------------------------ We call most of countries and places with "-ia" About Macedonia - Makedonia In ancient Documment find as "Makedonia" lets explain: In Greek language we not have "C" but is like "K". Just the translate of Makedonia in english is Macedonia. Also Skopje say that there are 2 histories of Macedonia. The one is the Skopje macedonia history. And the second history is that one Macedonia global history for macedonia and greece. How come 2 histories??? Also if real the name Macedonia is from Skopje and not Greek... how come that? and how come Greece have problem with that name? We wake up a day here in Greece and we say oh today we will remember another name to make a scene? But sure... Greeks always use that name and the people... the real one macedons into greece. You look... Skopje just in real world wake up a monring at 1992 and they say...oh we make country.... we have not name not history not civilization... what we can do for? lets look the map and wow! is that shine country next THE GREECE! Lets stole them names and history! Thats how come all. But they not think something... that thet not have proofs for it! but whos will search? lol. Thats how come that they are not Macedonians... cuz they are stupid and they can't think simple things like that. But what they answer that they have not proofs cuz they are macedons? Skopje say that the Greek Historicals who find the ancient things they destroy it and change it... but look how come they stupid! The find of ancient documents is by british, french, german historicals who search for etc. And is is ok that... ok for the land of Greece... What about the Ancient documents into Asia and Skopje? and what about the Greek names into land of Skopje country who they have cities with greek names? Greeks change it too? So Skopje they have no proof for it. By last all European Mambers NOT accept Fyrom to use that name as USA take back the name that try give to Skopje. Also EURO-MIL and members call Skopje as FYROM. :-) Thanks who you read my super interesting file. Macedonia is one and is Greek (Hellenic).

138 To "Thessaloniki Voice!" and all other ignorant ones: First of all I urge you study some history; you don't have to go far back for examples of GREEKS ATTACKING OTHER NATIONS; remember how hellenic dreams of invasion were repelled back from Turkish homeland of Anatolia in 1922, no more words about it. For almost a millenium Karadeniz (Former Pontus), Anatolia (so-called-by-you M. Asia) and for more than half-a-millenium İstanbul (Former Roman City of Constantinople) are NOT hellenic at all, you're always welcome to see it for your own eyes. And one more thing about the other so called "hellenic" place: Cyprus; never in any phase of the world's history Cyprus has been a Greek island; NEVER (except for the southern half of it being for the last 30 years). It has been an Egyptian island, a Roman island, a Venetian island, it has been an Ottoman island, has been a British island bu NEVER under the rule of any Greek civilization. These eventually show that Greek people's historical ignorace combined with being the most spoiled country in the world they tend to take historical places and historical names into monopoly. I repeat it once more, if the Ottoman Empire forced Greeks to talk Turkish (as ancient greeks forced all people under their rule), Greeks can be ignored the same way as they ignore Macedonians right now. You can't hold the name of a geography just because you hold a certain percentage of it. CONCLUSION: No matter how long ago, and how many Greeks lived in a location Greeks tend to call that location hellenic for eternity... Wake up! Once Macedonians and Greeks may be the same, but now they are NOT and all you Greeks should respect that.

139 as i said ...you can talk to people with wide perception and not narrow-minded ones... to 1453 Seltzuks or today called Turks , were a tribe which was expelled by the rest of the Moggolian tribes , arround 850 a.D They were not inhabbitants of this part of the Mediterenean.. So do not speak about invasions.. even your nick is "crying out" ... Today called Istanbull , is full of Greek monuments (Temple of Ag.Sofia), Effesos, etc.. Pontos or M.Asia...was an area which was occupied by Ioneis at first and then occupied by Persians. Then Byzantium followed , which was a mix of Greek and Roman Culture at first and then Orthodox prevailed.. They were all speaking Greeks and not Latin... Most of that Empire's parts were into the Greek mainland.. As i said Turks appeared at the early 1000s , during the era , where the Crusades took place. As you might have read before the first tribe that apparted the first natives of the Balkan area were Dorieis... I will give you a good point though on Cyprus , since it was first a Finician qonquest, and after them all countries of the world took a turn.. Last one was Greece or better named Byzantium , which established the Greek languange and tradition.But even so, Cyprus was never really under anyone's flag, as Venetian's , English, France and so on , were occupying the Island , cause of its important geo-political and army location. At 1974 , you invaded into the island , taking by force the Northern part of it, ignoring any legal ways to establish any arguments you might had. But this is another discussion. As for "forcing to talk the Turkish languange"....really you should read your history books again...and again...and again... They were the first ones who , demolished churches, temples, schools and every sign of their qonquests culture in order to prevail. Turks of that era , were even gathering children (first born) from their parents , in order to bread them as muslims and ofcourse as Turks. Many of the ancient "miracles" of the Greek culture were destroyed during that period as they were "offered" (!!!!) as treats to people of other countries who did "favors" for the Empire.. Turks as all of the races , all over the world established their existance on the area , with force and blood. As for Macedonia.. someone before me , set an explanation about this name and where it comes from as a term...so i do not need to add anything.. except that when an area was and is called with a name of that origin ... it was and is populated by people of that origin... then i think that this area should be of that origin. Please ..next time you are going to answer , give some real facts and not "air words".. P.S. and lets make something clear. I do not have anything against Turks, Skopjians, Slavs, etc. I just really want to see the history "facts" straight. Thank you Gandalf

140 So talking about the facts huh? Let's make things clear, today you can see monuments even from ancient greece and later times of Byzantium (which is formerly the Eastern Roman Empire that has NOTHING to do with once-upon-a-time greek civilization) all around Anatolia just because Turkish rule has shown extreme indulgence to all other cultures that shared the same geography. I wonder how many Ottoman monuments survived in today's modern(!) Greece? What was the name of the greatest Ottoman mosque in Athens? No mosque in Athens survived? How many Ottoman monuments reamined in Greece? Stange, maybe Ottomans forgot to build monuments in that area? Don't make me laugh =) About "force and blood" issue, after the Ottomans have gained control of Istanbul Fatih Sultan Mehmed gave the ultimate ferman: "No habitant of the city will be harmed, no monument in the city will be damaged, else will be punished lethally, no matter who" and just half a year after the siege has ended twice more ones than the runaways returned peacefully to the city (with their own will) and the population of the greeks and armenians in the city was the peak in its whole history, it was a time of peace for the rest of its time unti WWI (unlike in he late Byzantinium times). Turks came to settle in Anatolia in 1071 AD and since then it is their homeland, you haven't get used to it, get along with it! "Since 1453" there has been peace and prosperity in Anatolia and people from different cultures all lived side by side in peace; that's the origin of it, but still you can get it anyway you wish. By the way, if yours was even to imply that Turks forced people to talk Turkish, your language would have already been extcint by now in that case my friend.These are the real facts, Istanbul case is just a single example of the big picture... How Turks showed great tolerance to other cultures unlike any other. And about the Cyprus issue, Turkey's 1974 intervention to the island was on a purely legal basis, 1960 Zurich-Londan international agreement (founder agreement to the former "Cyprus Republic" which exists no more) which gave right to intervene (to 3 countries: England, Turkey and Greece)when peace is endangered in the island. Go back to 60s and read about the situation yourself (if you can find ANY information in Greek sources) to see how peace was endangered by the hand of Greek cunda using Greek Cypriots to join the island to Greece. I'm wondering if you heard the name EOKA which was a terrorist Greek organization in the island which killed village-full of Turkish Cypriots and forced them to a small region in the Northern Cyprus. I'm quite sure that you haven't heard anything about the "Christmas Massacre" in which their own very holy-day Greeks slaugtered Turkish Cypriots no matter women or even childen! It was all going right on schedule: "The Akitras Plan" according to which Turks on the island will be forced to leave the island or be killed by the armed Greek Cypriot so-called civilians(!) Turkish Cypriots were all forced to group on a small region in the North, to make them easier to kill at once. I wonder if you heard even the name "Akitras Plan" either... So Turkey, after endless discussions with Greece and England to stop violence on the island which gave no conclusion, (BASED ON SOLELY LEGAL RIGHT ESTABLISHED BY 1960 LONDON-ZURICH AGREEMENTS WHICH FOUNDED THE FORMER "CYPRUS REPUBLIC") intervened the conflict which began more than a decade ago and brought back peace in the island. It has been 31 years since nobody is killed in an ethnic conflict in the island. Today there's a completely sovereign contry on the North of the island, "Northern Cyprus Turkish Republic" which has nothing to do with Turkey except the spoken language (still somehow different) and trade. So again, these are the facts my friend, Northern Cyprus is NOT a part of Turkey, and the 1974 intervention was a purely legal "DUTY" of the 3 countries, eventually Turkey had to make the move. Still talking about Cyprus? Look back in what Greek cunda and EOKA did on the island, how they sabotaged peace, that lead to the intervention. Still talking about an invasion? Read about Greek attempt on Anatolia! P.S. I guess now the things are more clear in the light of historical facts, see them straight! You're welcome. _________________________________________][-][_________

141 If you read this page... you will see that once more, all Hellenic people most here give you facts and you talk only with "if" and "or". The facts are facts. The movie alexander the great tell to people that macedonia is greek. once more the movies tell it again into the movie of tomb raider 2. yes yes! Turks, remember that into Costantinople there are just 6 million KURDS and they can fire all turkey for the name of greece hehe!yes yes! believe me that if a war happen into your country is the biggest war! cuz u know... for muslims, as kurds, the religion say some things, but they not say to kill people. kurds back of scene they wait just one war to kill you dudes. whatever of that i will just remember you, as the centuries most nations come here try to take greekce. millions and millions greeks die. after so many centuries. we are just again here one of the most powerful again into the same places and we be still the same! what about turk? tukrey is a country that always learn from greece. hey turks, do you have to let me see a civilization city in turkey? heyeyyyyyy dude! all that who you will tell me is GREEKS, u will try to tell me Costantinople or Smirni or Babylon ;-) are u kidding? this is before all greeks! come the barbarians to stole that cities. back in turkey, do you have any any? yes u have not cuz there is the kurdistan! is silly your talk. remember that: "" TURKS are mongols and should be SHOOT! "" Turkies have no rights, cuz just they are mistake of world! Turks also they are not muslims :-p they try to make them own muslim religion lol! tell me turk, do you know any nation that like you? no one like turks. since 1453 turk kill people, greeks, kurds, armenians etc etc. since 1821, HELLENICS freedom the balkan, and that little nation of GREECE without guns and nothing, just back and shoot out turks from balkans. we are so few and we take ALL THE GREECE yes and costantinople and pontus etc. Just after for a while for the peace of world give half half, cuz when greeks start to kill, we not stop! and we will remove you from this world you like it or not, we just wait that click ;-) so don't think so much, in 1821 we take the whole greece, that time we are so so few without guns and turks are so so many with so many guns, like macedonians with persians :-) thats why macedonia is greek also hehe! Now you simple can think: What greeks will do to turkey if a war, and now is not 1821, we are more and more (but still the same few as nation, as always) and we have guns! just you will prepare and hide into yur caves and you will think that. today or tommorow greeks will kill turks. doesn't matter when, we have to kill so many millions :-) once more Cyprus in all ancient documents write that is hellenic ;-) look historicals maps, and after tell me also where is the turkey? hehe! MACEDONIA IS ONE AND IS GREEK! also... CYPRUS, COSTANTINOPLE, SMYRNI, PONTUS, HPEIROS .. .. and so many other places are HELLENICS!

142 FUCKIN GAY SMELLY SLAVS!!!!

143 MACEDONIANS WHERE GREEKS OF THE DORIAN RACE.YOU FUCKIN BASTARD FYROMIANS ARE A BUNCH OF SLAVOBULGARS WITH ALBANIAN , GYPSIE AND TATAROMONGOLIAN BLOOD IN YOUR FILTHY NAINS!!!..MOTHERFUCKERS!!!..GO STEAL CROATIAS HISTORY!!!!

144 FYROMIANS = ALBANOSLAVOBULGARIAN GYPSIE MONGOLS!!!!!

145 FUCK OFF YOU SMELLY BULGAR FYROMIANS , SLAVISH PIECES OF SHIT!!!!!

146 Gandalf....you fuckin Mongol turkish pig....EVERY PLACE YOU MENTIONED IS OURS!!!..go read some history you smelly ignorant barbarian mongol turk!!!!!!THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE WAS HELLENIC!!!! you motherfucker moslem pig!!!...you came from the steps of Mongolia..AND THAT IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO SEND YOU..WHEN THE TIME COMES!!!..YOUR DOOM IS COMING MONGOL BASTARDS..WE WILL SEND YOU BACK TO YOUR MOTHERLAND ( MONGOLIA )!!!

147 I see in the light of the facts Greeks seem to loose the last bits of sanity and sensibility I thought they have... But that's kind of normal, the moment you can't answer the call of truth, the moment reality a slaps your face, the moment once again the history shows -with evidence- all your blames on Turks are false and worthless, then you Greeks start to vomit your hatred originated from your humbleness in front of the Turks all throughout history. Greeks really are the spoilt kid of Europe in their lap (no offense; even the Greeks say so)! You're really nothing without the support of Europe from your back and you know that, it has always been so, else everything would have been different. And look who's talking about war... There's a word in Turkish: "Defeated Pehlivan* won't get enough of wrestling". You're still dreaming about a war that will never come true unless you try to cross the MERIC RIVER. If you haven't learnt anything from the greatest leader of 20th century Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, learn one thing: "War is murder unless defense of the nation is concerned" and so I say as every citizen of the Turkish Republic; the past is past. Motherland is not the place you once lived 3000 years ago, is it so difficult for the Greeks to live in today's world? It is the Turks protected and preserved Greek culture for almost a millenium. As we live with our Kurdish originated brothers (except for the terrorist PKK and their symphatizans) in peace now, we lived in peace with Greeks, Armenians and more in this geography with showing deep respect to their culture. That's why they still have something they call culture at their disposal. For those of you who are still willing to discuss issues in a sensible manner, you're always welcome to do so. For those of you who are still dreaming to sweep 70 million Turks back to middle asia from where we came, sleep well! Or come to see the places you mentioned are hellenic or NOT... P.S: If you pay attention; I'm not using nor will be using dirty words, so I expect the same for those of you, elsewise is the "incapability" of yourselves. P.S.2: Where's the Greek guy Gandalf telling me not to talk about "air words", see for yourself who's doing so! *Pehlivan = Wrestler _________________________________________][-][_________

148 first of all... Greek Macedonian... I am also from Greece and i to tell you the truth the words you use are not expressing me... Please reply if you wish with arguments as we must do and stop swearing..only idiots do that. SInce 1453.. You still have not set a single historical argument to confont what i have previously set. Attaturk was a Turkish leader , for your country , but he was also responsible for the great massacre of the people in Smirni. It was a time of war and as in all wars , people tend to be more like beasts than human persons. As for the war we are seeking...who is seeking it?...Us, who are staying in our side of the border? Or is it you with your "demands" in Aegean sea, the limmitations of human right regarding Kurds and Armenians , that you dare to use as arguments in your message? Respect to our borders?...Only last week , during the NATO exercise , 45 air-violations took place by your planes. Not to mention Immia which are characterised as a part of Greece by a treatie. Greek Culture has survived , based clearly on our strength and will, and certainly not cause Turks were , "fans" of it. Last week, there was also an annual festival , which was stating the Pontos massacre which is still not accepted by you as a fac. Something that was used as an excepted argument in E.U. , for the noumerous human rights violations you are accused of , among the "white cells" and Kurdish assasinations... "Air words" stands for the lack of arguments , something that you still have not proved you are able to provide. Gandalf p.s. for what it worths, i honour your effort to keep a civillised level on your words and that is why i replied to you...

149 since 1453.. i just read the answer right after my post so give a second to "throw down" all of arguments placed.. Turks were trully residents of Anatolia since the age given... How , though , they were there in the first place?... Through countless raids and fights against the Byzantium which was a mix of Greek tradition and languange ... They did not speak Latin (Romans did), and they were supporters of Christian Orthodox religion right after which was tottaly different than the one the Romans had (Catholics).. So Byzantium was of Greek origin... As for Constantinoupoli (later named as Istanbul) was conquered and occupied by Turks , BY FORCE!!! they were not invited...to stay there.. As for the command of "not to harm anyone". Noone respected it, and the destruction of the richest eastern city was a fact. Pieces of gold leaves and platerns were extracted from the walls of palaces and the temple of Ag.Sofia...which btw, is today, not maintened right and several scrolls and papers of that era , have been found recently in storages, deeped in moisture and fongus. This is how well they were preserved by your Empire. During the seige of Acropolis in Athens, Turkish army , took down marbles and several other structures , which had as a skeleton , inside them ,metal and matterials , in order to use them for gun powder. Parthenon marbles , also called as Elginia today , were extracted from the temple , during your occupance era, as a gift to Lord Elgin, who was also responsible for taking down almost the whole of the temple. That is how well you preserve historical monuments. As for monuments , in our country regarding Turkish origin...PLEASE NAME ONE... cause i really do not not know , a single structure which could even compare to the ones our ancesters build. Cyprus... Still speaking about that island? You seem to forget that Cyprus was under its own flag as a country and also occupied by UK at that time. Indeed there was a time that discussions were taking place, but since you were not satisfied you went into war?...nice... like saying , now , i am not satisfied with your argument ,so i am entittled to take a gun and blow your head off. Indeed another example on how you deal with things that are opposite to your oppinion, on diplomatical level. As for Greeks invading Anatolia...how can you invade into an area which was yours in the first place?... I will agree on you , though that war is turning people into beasts and brutallities were taking part by both parts of that conflict. In conclusion, Greeks are a part of mankind history for 5000 years. They were the first "parents" of philosophy, sciences, art..in the European area. Today we still manage to exist and play a significant role in many issues arround the world , on both, cultural and political level. We still try to be friends with all of our neighbours and run to their aid any time asked... History is a record , which we ALL, really need to study first and talk later. Keep a wide perspective of things and learn from it. We are really proud of our contribution to that record, can you say the same about you? Gandalf

150 Being the first in a place can never ba a basis to your claims in any place... You Greeks tend to claim every piece of soil, it doesn't matter how many Greeks lived and for how long on that soil. "A Greek once lived on the soil you stepped, 6700 years ago, it's mine; back-off!". Speaking on a hypothetical basis, what if we people of the Turkish Republic decide to go back to middle asia from where we came to claim today's Mongolian lands and fight a war for the land just because we used to live there 3000 years ago, is this invasion or not my friend? It is invasion, just as you claimed almost-a-millenium Turkish soil based on your once-upon-a-time fairies... Please I beg you to come back to THE DAYS OF OUR LIVING, overcome this complex of yours; home is not where one's ancestors once-upon-a-time lived, it is where one lives. Besides even more ancient ones used to live on Anatolia before the Greeks; Hitities, Eti's, Assyrians, I wonder how they baceme excint... Oh, yes maybe it was again the Turks who erased them all Or one day you may even claim that Hitities or Eti's were the very ancestors of Greeks upon which you were originated. Then you're still talking about people stealing your(!) history. About the raid of Istanbul when it was Constantinople, look back what the crusaders did to the city before 1453 and read history about how "...the people were trembling within the city walls with the fear of each coming crusade...". Only after that you can understand why people raced with each other to come back and settle in Istanbul under the Ottoman rule which is the evidence that it became a more secure an lively city afer the Byzantines. Yet Byzantines were not the founder of the city but Romans were. I don't know how you can say that Byzantines were of Greek origin; they're purely of Roman origin. Byzantinium was just the eastern part of the Great Roman Empire which LATER accepted Orthodox Christianity and LATER decided to be somehow different from its ROMAN ROOTS. Then you're still talking about people stealing your(!) history. By the way though it is solely because of your own ignorance that you couldn't name any of the Ottoman monuments in your own country but I'll still help you improve yourself: RHODES: "...it's hard to miss the most conspicuous monument in Rhodes, the rust-coloured Süleymaniye mosque. Rebuilt in the nineteenth century on foundations three hundred years older, it's currently closed and under scaffolding like most local Ottoman monuments. The Old Town is in fact well sown with mosques and mescids (the Islamic equivalent of a chapel). A couple of these mosques are still used by the sizeable Turkish-speaking minority here, some of them descended from Muslims who fled Crete between 1898 and 1913 because of the Greek invasion. Their most enduring civic contributions are, opposite the Süleymaniye, the Ottoman Library, with a rich collection of early medieval manuscripts and Korans, and the imposing, still-functioning hamam , or Turkish bath, on Platía Ariónos up in the southwest corner of the medieval city...". ATHENS: "...The old nineteenth-century quarter of Pláka , in particular, is a delight, with its mix of Turkish, Neoclassical and Greek-island architecture..." You can still name more castles, citadels, hamams and bridges (which actually Greeks failed to destroy with the fear of incapability to replace them with their own techniques at those times) of Turkish origin that survived the raid. But apart from those almost all other building, monuments especially mosques, even the smallest ones, were burnt or demolished, some even with inhabitants inside, right after the Ottoman rule has ended on the peninsula or even during the war. There still are lots of great Ottoman monuments all around the Balkans, one of the greatest just at the border city with Greece, Edirne. And you're telling that Ottomans built nothing significant on the peninsula during their half-a-millenium rule over the Greeks? Don't make me laugh, you destroyed them to the smallest ones (save a few of them preserved by the Ottomans as changed to mosques). You can still see remnants of ancient cities of all civilizations lived in Anatolia including Hitities, Greeks, Eti's and even more just because Turks showed tolerance and respect to other cultures all along our history and preserved theirs as you destroyed all but yours. They're not in perfect condition I admit, but neither destroyed to the ground on purpose as Greeks did. You seem to have at least one problem with each of them and strangely you can still trying to support that Greece is showing so extreme effort to get well neighbours.Strange isn't it? =) Your glorious days are 5000 years far from now when there were no rivals aroud you, once again I suggest you to wake up and come to real world. Every nation of course should be proud of their own contibution to that "record" but I know no other to be more proud than the Turks for their contribution. As even of now whoever hates the Turks that's because of their jealousy and humbleness in front of our ancestors. __________________________________________][-][__________

151 And one brief note about Cyprus: I see you haven't touched the EOKA Greeks terrorizing the island and salughtering Turkish Cypriots before Turkish intervention. You still talk like if Turkey "brutally attacked a peacefully living small country" but you know by well, that was not the case before the intervention. It didn't just happened all of a sudden! Turkey's decision to use its LEGAL RIGHT to intervene the almost-civil-war on the island was not an easy one but because of unconcluded diplomatic traffic between Greece-Turkey-UK because neither UK nor Greece (which was responsible for the violence on the island actually) showed no will to stop people from killing each other on the island even when Greek Cypriots put all Turkish presence on the island to a small northern location from where they can be "cleaned" at once within a matter of hours! Sometimes it is not the time to wait-and-see (the people being slaughtered), sometimes it needs more than words to accomplish things, especially peace. For 30 years and nobody got killed in an ethnic conflict which is the evidence of peace restored on the island for a long time now. So who put a gun on who's head? I guess it was the Greek Cypriots to do so on Turkish Cypriots' head! __________________________________________][-][__________

152 Nice... really nice.. arguments at last.. So my friend i am more than willing to discuss with you now. Lets start from the past... Past , history ,or however it is called , makes us what we are. You are talking about Turkish monuments, which exist in Greek soil, though as i told you , i live here and certainly the one you called in Plaka , (downtown Athens) simply DOES NOT EXIST!..at least not in the way you describe it. All buildings in Plaka were build during the early 1900s and certainly do not carry out , Turkish culture. Care to give me your sources uppon that description? But even if we agree on their existance , there is no real comparison with the structures of the era i am describing of. Castles and forts described , were builded by Venetians, Frangous and so on who needed them in order to defend their sea trade and at the same time , have an "observer" in the area. Mistras is one of those forts. The only "wall" and certainly not a castle builded by the Turks , which exists until today was the addition in height of Acropolis perimeter wall, which can be viewed , also in many cards, pictures and so on. Unless you mean that old jail tower in Nafplio , where Kolokotronis was convicted , as a masterpiece of Art which is capable to get into a contest with the temples of Posidon , Artemis , Acropolis, and so on... As for maintaining cultures by Turkish people.. it is quite vissible , by the fact i just mentioned , describing the condition Ag.Sofia temple is and several scripts found in it..and it was broadcasted by BBC and CNN all over the world so it wont be too hard for you to discover it...oh..btw.. Ancient civillisations were not taken out by Greeks , but by Egyptians and Romans... We had nothing to do with that. Quite the opposite , both Persians, Finicians tried to gain over Greek mainland Any way as i am not living in the past as you claim , (though i really learn a lot from it)you are talking that we tend to claim all soils we have stepped on... That is a big LIE...Name one OFFICIAL case that we demand the soil back , based uppon our ancient fathers ,and by trying to step on our neighboors.. i could name a few , for your own country, sadly enough. Immia, Grey zones "demands" and so on.. not to mention air violations which were brought in front of E.U. as a counter argument , concerning your "repsects" to a country-member of the E.U. As for problems with neghbours...need to remind you that they are the ones who are taking an offensive position towars us? Albanians with the "great country of their?" FYROM "which was a part of Tito's Yugoslavia" suddenly decided to be named after a greek name? (described the origin of the word above) Turkey which is always trying to get hands on positions over the Aegean islands? Have you ever heard as i said before a single argument by the Greek goverment which is demanding foreign soil or names?...no..not a single one... We still stay on our side of the borders and some take it as a "sign of weakness"...Several before them have made that same error and got a creamed face as souvenir.. EOKA, was a fictional organisation , made up by the UK and Turkey just like the exaguration made by the Clinton goverment for the slaughters made by Servians. But even if that was true, (which was not) and the proofs were true , why then the UN never took place next to your side? Why was not there an effort like the one made for Serajevo and Iraq to take it "in the clear"?...answer...cause proofs were not there... it was just an excuse , in order for the Turkish army , to gain harbours and significant army locations into the mediteranean and close to Iran , Syria and other countries , which were "unfriendly" to you (and still are i think!!) So the Turkish army , with absolutelly no warning , whatsoever , invade the island and are still there , despite obvious pressures by E.U and UN .. Despite the promise of Greece to tottal disarmament of the island .. Do i still need to remind you , that the biggest obstacle for Turkey to join E.U. is cause of Cyprus occupance? We are living in the present , and we are looking into the future.That is why , we are a part of the western world and play such significant roles in both cultural and political level. We do not want to keep others back .Not even your country which is proving to behave in hostile way against us. We support your petition to join E.U. Only term is to respect us and our borders...and that same term is for the rest of the Balkans.. That is why we are friends now with Bulgary , Romany and so on.. With Italy, Servia and so on... all of them are in our borderline and do not have problems with them.. Gandalf P.S. I have to thank you again for standing up to your beliefs and provide intelligent discussions , comparing to other "unfortunate" discussions with other people here .

153 P.S. and just to make clear my term stated as "fictional" , EOKA was an organisation founded at the middle 1940s , right after the WWII when Cyprus was fighting to get independent against Britain's rulers.Something that was achieved in the early 1960s ... Few years before a small percentage of the Turkish people in the area started to commit offences against both Greek and Turkish Cypriots citizens and their properties. And that was the "step over" that both Turkish and Britain goverment used as an official excuse to engage in those "official bargains" for an island right in front of Shuez canal , next to most of the countries with oil production.. Under no circumstances , that organisation could be named as "terrorists" or "criminals"... Unless you think that they should be enlisted under the same category as you characterised PKK... Gandalf

154 Name me one big Ottoman mosque (built by them not converted from a church to be preserved) survived on the Greek peninsula then we'll go on with our discussion with who preserves other cultures' history. But don't come to me with the argument that Ottomans didn't build anything on the peninsula, look all around Balkans it's full of Ottoman monuments (bridges, mosques, hamams, libraries, castles lots of things) how can you even claim that they didn't put 2 stones on each other for almost half a millenium they ruled over you! Preservation is something, taking care of is something else, you have to preserve it not demolish it, to take care of later. Now abut the Greek claims, I have never spoken a word of any OFFICIAL claims done by you, you could never dare to do OFFICIAL claims about any piece of soil anymore, but for the sake of making things clear the last time was the Greek Junta claimed the whole of Cyprus to be joined to mother Greece. Not to mention that you went war against Turkey claiming its very own soil (the soil upon which TURKISH people live as a majority) which ended with your defeaty in 1922. Nevertheless those were not the ones I have been mentioning but your words as Izmir, Istanbul, Cyprus, Blacksea region all being "HELLENIC". The claim I'm talking about is saying that a place is hellenic and to do that claim it's enough for you that just a few Greeks lived on thet geography for several millenia before. According to you that place is hellenic no matter what raced lived thereon beore and after you. So, yes you UNOFFICIALLY claim every step of soil to be hellenic which is actually WRONG! The only places hellenic are TODAY'S GREECE and the SOUTHERN PART OF CYPRUS but NOTHING MORE! As for the EOKA being "fictional", I've heard many excuses from the Greeks but, no offense but, this is the silliest among them all I've ever heard!!! What should one must do to prove you that it's real? Search google with the letters EOKA and see how much material you'll find. I know lot more than you think about the history of EOKA, no matter when (in 1955) or with which aim (to accomplish unification of the island with Greece - ENOSIS) it was founded all its acts after could ony and only be categorized as terrorism. BRIEF NOTE ON EOKA: "EOKA [Ethniki Organosis Kyprion Agoniston - National Organization of Cypriot Fighters] started a guerrilla campaign against British colonial rule aimed at self-determination and union with Greece (Enosis)on 01 April 1955. The campaign, which started when the first EOKA bombs exploded at 00.30 hours on 1st of April 1955, lasted until 1959 and caused the death of more Turkish Cypriot civilians than the total of British killed. It created civil strife and mistrust between the two Cypriot communities. Tension increased in early 1957, when EOKA attacked Turkish police and auxiliaries. EOKA received direct support from Greece in money, arms, organization and propaganda. Greek-speaking Cypriots were awed by EOKA terrorists and subject to bombardment by Athens radio. Under a 1959 compromise settlement known as Zurich-London agreements (which also include RIGHT OF INTERVENTION to 3 GUARANTEER STATES: Greece, Turkey, UK -- ][-][), Cyprus became an independent Republic in 1960. EOKA-B emerged twice, in 1963 and 1974, in collaboration and cooperation with Greece, to attack the Turkish Cypriots, one of the two co-founding partners of the Republic of Cyprus, with the aim of uniting the Island with Greece." EOKA killed more than 400 Turkish Cypriot civilians between the years 1963-1968 including women and unprotected chidren - of which evidential photos are also available that I can send to anyone upon request -. However so few photos can be found in the name of the acts of terrorist EOKA because Turkish Cypriots have already been "cleaned" from all public organizations, including even health services, and total control of the island was at the hands of Greek Cypriot communinity and thus the Greek junta. All phone lines were broken and all press material to be leaving the island were subject to Greek Cypriot authorities to be censored when seemed neccessary. This photo I speak of women and children killed by EOKA terrorist ON THE CHRISTMAS OF 1963 was escaped from the island as put inside the plaster of a wounded Turkish Cypriot. If you dare enough to see and learn the truth you can search the letters EOKA on the web and you can find enough convincing evidence on the subject matter. No more words on EOKA being an "existent" and "terrorist" organizaton, yes, just as PKK. No matter which organization, under which name, founded with what aim, kills unarmed civilians, that's a terrorist organization! From 1960 to 1974 Turkey forced every possible diplomatic way to stop violence and resolve conflicts on the island with Greece and UK. Stop pretending as if all the problems emerged in 1974 with Turkey intervening the conflict on the island, stop pretending as if ethnic conflicts first started by Greek terrorist organization EOKA had never happened, stop pretending as if Greek Cypriots never tried to realize ENOSIS by killing or terrorizing Turkish Cypriots, stop pretending as if Turkish Cypriots haven't been cleaned from all public duties and the island haven't been under de-facto Greek rule for years; there's a long past chain of events involving Greek Cypriot terrorists backed up from Greek junta and endless diplomatic traffic between 3 countries, not to mention countless WARNINGS Turkey expressed before using its RIGHT TO INTERVENE. P.S. my source to my last post on Athens: www.justgreece.org my source to brief note on EOKA: www.globalsecurity.org (both of them are sources reflecting Greek point of view) P.S.2 my e-mail is doors_demon@yahoo.com and I will send pictures to what EOKA terrorists did on the island upon request via e-mail (if you even dare to see them). __________________________________________][-][_________

155 here is a link with new map of GREECE and KURDISTAN ;-) check out. the comments yours hehe! http://www.geocities .com/xtomailx/maps/index.html NOTE: YES proudly EOKA is a FREEDOM GROUP who killed all bastards turks and british when they come in cyprus. READ: 1955 ELLAS KUPROS ENOSIS: some kids into ages 14-22 stole some army guns and kick out british army from cyprus! PROUDLY GREEK KIDS FOREVER. Just at last look the map ok :-) http://www.geocities .com/xtomailx/maps/index.html MACEDONIA IS ONE AND IS GREEK HELLENIC TURKS ARE MONGOLS AND SHOULD BE SHOOT! NEW GREEK AND KURD MAP. MSG: KILL TURKS! and REMOVE TURKS FROM WORLD AS WE DO PERSIANS I HAVE GIVE PROOFS I TALK I ASK. BUT NO ANSWER CUZ THAT MEANS THEY HAVE NOT PROOFS. PEOPLE LIKE YOU WITHOUT ANSWER>>> STUPID> In all forum i not say nothing for bad talk... but now i can free say cuz you are real stupid turks, skopje and albanians. i have answer in all your messages... but i have NO answer in mine texts cuz simple you bastards! without nothing to tell, only stupid things. just run and read my test on and answer me ;-) if NOT answer that means you have no proofs. accept answers only with proofs like me. :-)

156 First of all , fellow Greeks, please keep this civillised ... Our friend here, since 1453 , is talking uppon soemething with arguments, with no swearings and he is certainly entittled to support his point of view... So please stop swearing ... it cal only bring down the level of this discussion... As for my friend since 1453,(and i mean the word "Friend" since i have nothing against you)... EOKA as stated was a Freedom group , struggling for independence against British rulling. Your source it does express the Greek point of view , although there is not a single point in that text that speaks about "photos from terrorist acts"..the part that is mentioning... {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{EOKA-B emerged twice, in 1963 and 1974, in collaboration and cooperation with Greece, to attack the Turkish Cypriots, one of the two co-founding partners of the Republic of Cyprus, with the aim of uniting the Island with Greece." EOKA killed more than 400 Turkish Cypriot civilians between the years 1963-1968 including women and unprotected chidren - of which evidential photos are also available that I can send to anyone upon request -. However so few photos can be found in the name of the acts of terrorist EOKA because Turkish Cypriots have already been "cleaned" from all public organizations, including even health services, and total control of the island was at the hands of Greek Cypriot communinity and thus the Greek junta.}}}}}}}}}}}} is not mentioned anywhere in the Greek source and i am wondering , where is it originated from. "Fictional" was an "unlucky used term" of mine to show you that EOKA was not a terrorist group...It was a liberation movement , just like IRA (when it was firts formed, not today), like PKK and so on.. As for claims... as you have previously stated in your posts. how can i claim something that was mine in the first place?...Same goes for Greece here, as the sea-side of Black-Sea was inhabbited by the race of Pontious... Smirni and Istanbull were given to us , after a war against you , with Lozane treaty which was giving us Dodekanisa, and the seaside of Western Anatolia (as you prefer to call it) including Smirni. The only Islands legaly given to you were Imvros (where i was borned) and Tenedos . I know now , from first hand , how people of Turkish regimes , hunted down every Greek person , familiarised with his fortune and send them away , under no excuse. And to support my arguments i am reminding you that Turkey has been convicted by the EU courts , to pay back all "taken away" fortunes of , former Greek residents of the area... As for your claimings,,,your unreasonable demands (your goverment's i mean) were made in an oficial way , concerning sea boundaries on the Aegean Sea, Imia, and so on... Which were all legally given to us , as a part of several treaties... I will answer to your mail for a more , intermediate chat, (and more peacefull i hope) for further comments on anything you wish... Gandalf

157 OK, EOKA and IRA may be formed as a rebellion acts for liberation and standing for self-determination AT FIRST, but not thereafter (as I know a lot about them unlike seems that you know NOTHING about PKK). The island of Cyprus became an independent republic by the year 1960 based on 2 ethnic communities: Turkish and Greek. If the aim of EOKA were the liberation of island, it has already been accomplished by that time, what was it doing on the island after that? If the liberation(!) was not yet complete by 1960, when would it be completed? The EOKA answer was straight; it can only be accomplished when all Turks were wiped off from the surface of the island and ENOSIS (unification with Greece mainland) is completed. For that reason EOKA killed more Turkish Cypriot civilians than they killed British (including their soldiers). EOKA continued its activities to liberate(!) the island even after 1960 from Turkish Cypriots (civilians) with using brute force and putting gun on their heads. That is what makes them a TERRORIST GROUP (not at the instant it was founded but later) just like IRA and BASK. However I can't go on further before mentioning a small fact that makes significant difference between these TERRORIST groups with TERRORIST PKK (active in the south-eastern region of Turkey which claimed 30,000 - YES 30,000 - lives of the citizens of Turkish Republic, including almost 5000 soldiers of the Turkish Army fighting terror, which means they caused more than 25,000 civlian causalities) since 1980. The difference is that, when it was first formed, PKK was formed as a TERRORIST ACT RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING. All their actions were against the civilians, including bombings in major cities all around Anatolia not only in the south-eastern part in the 80's, before Turkish Army started hunting them down. COCNCLUSION: Any organization pointing guns towards unarmed civilians is terrorist a organization without further discussion. Though all EOKA, IRA, BASK and PKK (under numerous different names) fall into this category, only PKK differs from others by being FORMED (FOUNDED) AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. You couldn't even imagine how my childhood passed in the fear of terror, so don't come to me with more ignorant and stupid claims on terrorism, terrorist groups and what is terrorism, I've lived it and I know how is it like! One more point to be cleared out in the last post of GANDALF: Lausanne Treaty didn't grant control to Greeks of any piece of soil on Anatolia. It was once Sevres Treaty which has been RIPPED-OFF with the Turkish War of Independence, never to come back ever again. Lausanne Treaty giving a part of Anatolia was either a misunderstanding of mine or a repeated ignorance of yours my friend. On the Aegean, by the way, according to the Lausanne Treaty "12 major Aegean islands and minor outlying islets of theirs, which are BETWEEN the major island and the Greek mainland peninsula are thereafter under Greek control with the restriction that no airfields or military establishments can be founded upon any of them" - READ IT CAREFULLY!!! leaving the rest of the islets (approximately 150 of them) and 2 mid-sized islands Gokceada and Bozcaada (with the reason that they're too close to the Canakklae Strait and therefore may BLOCK the way at will), which are extensions from the 2 opposite sides of the Canakkale Strait actually, to Turkey. And about the "hellenic"(!) claims, even if something were yours at the beginning (which was not actually) you can NOT claim anything out of it after 5000 years. Talking about Anatolia, many different civilizatons grew on this land for several millenia, long before the appearence of Greeks; the Hitite's, the Eti's, Frygian's, Iskit's, even Assyrians and Babylonians on this very land. Anatolia has not been Greek at first but later, for some time, which was a long past from now, giving no basis for any "hellenic"(!) claims on this land, in our times. If all were to make claims on the geographies the lived once, Turks (in addition to its current geography) should be claiming all the Balkans, North of Africa up to Iberian Peninsula and Middle East up to Middle Asia including some part of today's China (mostly the Middle Asia & China because we lived there first(!), 6000 years ago ). However this would have been a silly claim, yet no sillier than the Greek point of view on Anatolia. Just as other civilizations lived on this peninsula long before us and among us thereafter, many have also lived before the Greeks! But, just to mention, among them all Istanbul being hellenic(!) is the funniest claim, since, formerly being Constantinople, the city was founded purely by the Romans long before the eastern part of the Roman Empire, which was of Latin origin (NOT Greek at all), started calling itself Byzantinium and accepted Orthodox religion. So though it is not a healty way to look through, you Greeks are inconsistent with yourselves when saying Istanbul is hellenic (meaning of Greek origin), it is wrong even from your point of view because Latins lived there long before you, they were the first to found the city. GOT IT? GOOD! P.S: Thanks for Thessaloniki Voice showing the real face and real way of thinking of the Greek people. But your map needs updating since you forgot to give away the north-eastern region of Anatolia to Armenians, don't upset them! As I said before, sleep well so in your dreams you may see them. P.S2: I've given away all my sources to my comments in "quotation marks", plus I'll send the photos I've been talking about showing resuts of terrorist acts of EOKA in Cyprus. __________________________________________][-][_________

158 About the issue of Cyprus,,, I have answered to your email so i find it ,useless to continue on here.. You are right about the Sevres treaty, (my mixup..that is true), but Airfields are mentioned in Lausane treatie as mentioned.. http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:bBgaSGhWVT0J:www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS041.pdf+air+border+treaties+Greece-Turkey&hl=el the link has a nice description of our borders.. Dodekanisa were assigned to us, under the Paris treaty in 1947. Thank you for giving me a chance to clear the facts... my bad... As for continuing the debate..well right now you have my email , so the ball is in your court.. Gandalf

159 my appologies for the long link of mine here is the one needed to download a .pdf of the description given. http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS041.pdf Gandalf

160 RE MALAKA!! Since 1453, bla-bla-bla no facts.. The Greeks have allways lived in Cyprus, and we will allways do, go home to asia! It has allways belonged to Greece and will allways do. Why are you fighting this fight, that only greece can win? Cyprus IS greek, wether you like it or not. So leave our island alone....And IF you wish to stay - stay as tourists in Greece! For that is what cyprus belongs to! Cyprus is just as greek as Crete! ////FC CREW 2005

161 All countries around hate Turkey cuz they are like mongols. NO facts. 6 millions KURDS wait Greek signal to help GREEKS to smash whole TURKEY! READ THIS: READ HERE ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A year after Hashan pasha with 10000 men besieged Konstantinos Kolokotronis and Panagiotes Venetsanakis with 150 men and women, in two towers in Kastania. They fought 12 days and finally most of them were killed. The prisoners of war were tortured and cut in peaces. The wife of Konstantinos Kolokotronis was dressed like a warrior and fought her way carrying her baby who was Theodoros Kolokotronis the future leader of the great revolution of 1821. After the war of 1770 the Maniates were forced to pay to the Sultan 15.000 groshes ever year. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Turkey need 12 days with 10.000 thousands Turks army with guns to kill 150 Greek men, women and childrens. You see what happen when u try to fight Greeks? But how many or better how many thousands Turks killed in that fight? For sure more and more.

162 WE WILL FIGHT IF NECESSARY! DONT THINK THAT YOU COUCKGHY TURKS, MONGOLS OR TO MAKE IT EASIER; MONKEYS!!! By the way! "Thessaloniki Voice!", would you like to join our organisation free cyprus? we fight to free cyprus from the turks, and makedonia from the skopjans.... FREE CYPRUS AND MAKEDONIA!! ////FC CREW 2005

163 Albanians are cool! They have helped Greek economy tremendously. We should be grateful to them and not treat them bad. Besides we should not forget that there are a lot of Greeks of Albanian origin (Arvanites). Take some of the Greek surnames: Kriezis, Voglis, etc. They are all ALBANIAN WORDS! Albanians came to Greece for the first time in the 11th century. Furthermore, a lot of the Greek heroes of Independence were of Albanian origin like Karaiskakis, Markos Botsaris, Bouboulina. Those stupid boys who shout in the football stadiums racist slogans against Albanians might be of Albanian origin too without being aware of it! The problem is that in all schools in the Balkans, history is taught in an ETHNOCENTRIC way, presenting our balkan neighbours as enemies. Chrissi Avgi (Golden Dawn) is a group of Fascists with a Nazi ideology. A very dangerous group for the Greek nation. These guys enjoy hitting immigrants, homosexuals, and on the whole everyone who is "different". But don't be afraid of them. Their IQ is less than zero!!!! Finally, all of us in the Balkans have interacted with one another culturally over the centuries. Each nation has influenced every other. We Greeks have influenced and have also been influenced by our Balkan neighbours. Don't forget the big number of Turkish words that exist in all the Balkans' vocabulary. Some examples: fukara, budalla, zori, tavani, meraki, etc. Last but not least, we should all bear in mind that all cultures in the world are equal and no culture is superior or inferior to any other. Don't forget that "A Barbarian is someone who believes in the barbarity of the other". With friendly regards to everyone in the forum Nikos from Greece

164 well, it is a nice message, although it is a bit one-sided... First of all 11TH Century and Albanians?...To start with ... there was no noation called Albania at that time , since the area was first occupied by Turkish Empire and right afterwards by the Enetians and several other of Italian origin people and casts. Golden Dawn is indeed supporting the fascist idea.Their IQ?... i am not eqquiped to judge them as humans...i am able to judge them for their beliefs. UCHEKA does also believe in the same way for thei Ethnic origin. does this make them stupid also?.. or did you forget them? Karaiskakis origin was from Arvanites indeed, which under no circumstances could have been called Alvanoi... Tsamides were the ones who were later called Albanians...btw... Bouboulina was born in Spetses by parents of Ipiros origin and certainly not by Arvanites or Tsamides... i do not think you are right on this one. And finally , could you elaborate on the issue that is describing that Albaninas helped out Greek Economy?... caus over what i know , from political and financial studies, it is the other way arround.. Exchange currency was moved out without taxes. Offered jobs to several thousands of people who were starving under Berissa's ruling. Loans were given on international level to build hospitals and several other corporations , which brought reduced rate on investments for inside bussines of Greece.. Also ,until today, there are several loans given to Albania , from Greece as a result of a Balkan treaty while Prime Minister Simitis was in charge of Greece's goverment... Now if you are reffering to the Olympic Games of Athens, you should know that besides Albanians (who would be too starving if those jobs did not exist in the first place), Pakistanians, Filippinese, Polands, Germans, French and so on were also working for this INTERNATIONAL event... As for Turkish languange...noone deny this.. it is a natural outcome of 400 years of occupance at Balkan's area. Gandalf

165 Sorry for any grammar and syntax mistakes , as i was typing fast.. Gandalf

166 well about language. Turkey have nothing to say. Look at CIA world Factbook ;-) The 20% of Turks are KURDS so the languages knowing official in Turkey are: Turkish 71%, Kurdish 21%, Greek (Hellenic) 3% Arab - Armenian & others 5%. About Albania... albania was for first time this name arround 18th cenury i think. Before and the ancient name is Illyrians. At start Illyrians are a kind country-city like athenians and spartans, so they are too Greek. After long time when barbarians come they mixed with them. So Illyrians the today albanians are a nation with no identify by past and the only Greek province of ancient that mixed with other. so thats why they are not greeks till today. Alexander the great have in his army and Illyrians so that happen before they mixed. I know that albanians when they back to them country they speak there almost more the GREEK Language cuz they want to saw to other that they are in Greece who is better ;-) and via that to talk Greek feeling like they are albanians but a half greek so that feel more better than other Albanians. Arvanites are GREEKS lived there and they gone cuz they are not the mixed Illyrians but they are clear as well. Thats why. As you see Arvanites is a greek absolutly word by syntax. ;-) so as well don;t be silly with this. That who i said i take source by the UNI-Stuttgart in Germany that i study before and as well all uni in europe say the same. Keep smile as macedonia is greek like hpeiros, imbros tenedos, cyprus, m.asia and costantinoupoli.

178 As a proud Albanian, I believe to have my spare part of saying too. 7 years ago as I was vacationing in Greece in a small basketball camp in Pefcohori (spelling), I had the chance to meet a guy and a basketball fellow named Nikos Galis (spelling) As I talked to him about life, basketball and people, I could only see happiness, love and respect in everyone’s eyes. …As years went by, I see that joy, happiness and respect is getting diminished while a new life full of disbelief, anger and "hatred" (note: hate is a reaction to an action) is starting to unveil in the heart of Albania, Tirana(of course, when talking about politics, since there is more of life than just that). As a mushroom cloud directed towards the sky, so is the hatred expended towards every living Albanian. To fast forward….I wonder: why have the people I know, friends, cousins, neighbors, and everyone become like this? Why have I become in the last 30 minutes like them? I believe the answers can be found with some help from one/many of the Greek folks in this blog/ Well, I would like that one of you Greeks put yourself in my shoes/position: a happy reader, proud USMC private (but that don't matter), simple citizen who tries to contribute to his community and read the contents of this page. Why do I feel this fast and increasing anger, hatred of extinction for a Greek race after reading the humiliating and discriminating things? I think it’s harder to make a friend from a stranger than lose that friend. Have I converted to a Greek enemy? I am having second thoughts. One thing is certain: As an Albanian I condemn those Albanians that work and contribute labor to Greece (just as Mexicans do in USA) in exchange for persecution and discrimination (not Mexicans) in return (but I wonder if Albanian emigrants are of Albanian race, since I have traveled every foot and inch of my county, I hope that you agree with me that I know a thing or two about it: Albanians that emigrate in hell, sorry I meant Greece, are %2 of total ppl from South Albania, short, dark called VORIOEPIR(spelling), emigrants from Assyrians empire just as modern day Greece is, emigrants who make a face for the rest of the Albania. I think I have talked enough for not being paid :=) Please, respond as to why should I not “hate” (I mean one of a suicidal kind, please believe) but like Greece? As far as Macedonians, I don’t see a problem of them not liking their own Albanian population, if they want to divide and weaken their county, so be it. Albanians in Macedonia are welcomed, and can unite with the motherland as far as I am concern. By the way, I will boycott my vacation I had scheduled for Santorini. Sorry, I rather contribute my tourist money to Turkey this year and visit Antalya. At lease will go towards a good cause. Statement: TO ALL ALBANIANS, PLEASE BOYCOT (DO NOT BUY) GREEK GOODS UNTIL THINGS CHANGE! TO ALBANIAN EMMIGRANTS IN GREECE: PLEASE RETURN HOME OR IMMIGRATE ANYWHERE ELSE BUT GREECE. TO ALL MY AMERICANS TURKISH AND ALBANIAN BROTHERS:LONG LIVE USA, TURKEY AND ALBANIA (O-ARRNAUTS).

179 blah..blah..blah..again no facts... and let me have a piece of doubt about you meeting or even talking to Galis, while supporting this kind of oppinion towards Greece. Lets make one thing clear. ALL IMMIGRANTS ARE WELLCOMED TO GREECE, as long as they do not think that a piece of our country is theirs... period. I too have friends or known people of Albanian origin or even Turkish origin. Respect is mutual on those cases. However , all of those people react in negative way , when their rights and beliefs are harmed or violated in any way , expesially from people who are prejudiced like you. Your reference to the area as Macedonia , while on diplomatic ways and in general international affairs is still called FYROM , shows how "objective" you are. And something for you. Albania at this point is maintened by Greek investments , on a 45-55% of their national income. If they choose to follwo your suggestions , then they might have problems on even how to live from now on. Not to mention , that almost 600-900.000 Albanian people are living here. As for vacations, i would not suggest Turkey at this point , due to the unfortunate terrorist attacks happening there. (Hope that this will stop, at some point , and i hope that people there will live agian their peacefull lifes) Gandalf

180 PLEASE to all of you balkans, CALM DOWN!!! You must accept that greeks gave to the other nations culture and civilization 2.500 years ago. unfortunately 350 years under the turkish occupation stayed away from other acivities (exploring the world, physics law etc.) Read the following, these are from 2.5 milleniums before, especially from the hand of Alexander: Hellanius presents the father of macedonians, Macedon, is son of Aiolos meaning that he considered them an aeolian greek tride (Hellanius,FGrHist 4,74).Arrian (Arrian,Alexandrou Anavassis 2. 14. 4.) writes that Alexander on his letter to Dareius wrote Your ancestors came in Macedonia and rest of Greece and assaulted us.After i became leader of the Greeks i came to asia to willing to punish Persians.The phrase macedonia and rest of greece is also present in the treaty between Annibas and Philip V (Polybius, 7. 8. 9.).Also in Titus Livius (31. 29. 15.) where he places macedonians among aetolians as greek tribes.Also in Polybius (5. 103. 9.) where Agelaus from Nafpactos wishes to end wars among Aetolians and Macedonians intergreek wars as he names them.The Efessians from an inscription in Efessos (SIG 867, 38-40) ...in the macedonians and the rest Greek tribes... I live in Thessaloniki. This is the name of the sister of Alexander the great. NO ONE MAKEDONIAN would change this name to Solun. Correct me PLEASE if I am wrong. PS. for the albanian neighbours, do you know what does it mean the symbol and the colour of your flag? Also I feel very dissapointed when I see that all your hopes are to Uncle-Sam and in Turkey. Both politicians are very clever(in opposite to the greeks) they don't like you, they just want you to be our enemies for profit.

181 BE GREEK OR DEAD!!! WE FUCKED YOUR ANCESTORS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF HISTORY! Everyone who hates us has a mother working for me in Amsterdam as a Transexual!! Ante Giea

182 HERE ARE SOME PHRASES ABOUT GREEK CIVILIZATION THAT I FOUND ORIGINALLY FROM FOREIGN SITES OF THE INTERNET AND I COPYRIGHTED AND PASTED THEM HERE: Regarded by many as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, Greece has a long and rich history during which its culture has proven especially influential in Europe, Asia and Africa. # Greece is a country of a rich cultural heritage. Democracy was invented in Athens, Greek culture is the mother of Roman culture and has very much influenced other civilisations. # Ancient Greek culture, particularly as developed in Athens, was the principal source of Western civilization. # Ancient Greece was a great civilization from which came major contributions to present-day society. Greece is the birthplace of the first Olympic games, great minds like Aristotle and Plato, and is home to the breathtaking, ancient architecture of the Acropolis in Athens # Greece is the birthplace of civilization # greece is the cradle of western civilization # http://www.upatras.gr/dsp2002/greece.htm # Greece is the birthplace of the “father of medicine” Hippocrates, who believed the body should be treated as a whole and that food should be medicine # greece is one of the oldest civilizations # greece is the land where the ancient gods chose to reside # The pillar of Western civilization, Greece is the birthplace of democracy and the Olympics, the land of Plato, Sophocles and Homer. Greeks are very proud to show the value of their rich cultural heritage, and Greece has become a popular tourist destination for lovers of old rocks and Mediterranean beaches # Greece is the birthplace of Western civilization, having given rise to reason, philosophy, science and democracy # It is well known that Greece is the birthplace of the Gods and mythic heros, as well as other extraordinary personalities such as poets, rheteurs and philosophers who taught the art of reasoning, and discussion. A country where human beings loved working with their hands to create works of art, in which a large number can still be admired today. # Not surprisingly, Greece is the birthplace of contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. While Greece's gifts to Western culture may need no testimony, many are unfamiliar with the hearty, flavorful dishes originating in the Isles # Greece is the birthplace of one of the world's oldest civilizations, the legacy of which can still be seen in its numerous monuments throughout the country # Greece is the birthplace of western civilization, the place that launched our history, art and philosophy # Greece, of course, is known not only as the birthplace of history and philosophy, but of classic art. # Greece is the birthplace of western wine culture, spreading their appreciation and expertise throughout the Mediterranean over 4,000 years ago # Greece is the birthplace of western art, philosophy and drama. It is the cornerstone of civilisation and wherever you travel there, you will find evidence of a glorious past. Greece offers travellers a unique blend of beautiful Mediterranean landscape, overwhelming history and great hospitality. # Greece (Hellas) is the birthplace of Democracy and modern conventions. Thousands of years ago, Greece had already gained stature as a democracy nation. Hellas is also the birthplace of the Philosophy, Tragedy, Mathematics, Physics and Biology as well as the Olympic Games. A nation with more than three thousand years history! The Classic Years, the Alexandrine and the Roman Period are in perfect harmony with the Greek-Orthodox Spirit of the Byzantine Times as well as with the Neo-Hellenic (i.e.new-Greek) Culture. Greece is the birthplace of Homeros, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Eukleides, Socratis, Plato, Pericles, Sofocles, Democritos, Aristotle and Alexander the Great. On the other hand, the Byzantine Empire was that rescued, developed and spread the Hellenic Civilisation to the other European and Asian Nations. # Greek philosophers and political leaders -- Cleisthenes and Pericles and their successors -- had great influence upon America's Founding Fathers in their creation of these United States. We, as a nation, owe a great debt to Greece. Greece is the birthplace of democracy, as we know it. Thomas Jefferson said, "To the ancient Greeks, we are all indebted for the light which led ourselves (American colonists) out of Gothic darkness." # Greece is the birthplace of democracy. The land that has enriched Western civilization with its history, philosophy and many other academic influences. Geometry, architecture, drama, philanthropy, and music have traveled globally from ancient Greece and have become the foundations of worldly theories, concepts and ideas. Furthermore, the Greek language has enriched other languages with many words. The unique and most delicious Greek cuisine, consists of many specialties, all cooked with care, mastery, love and excellence. The Greek cooking is distinguished with olive oil, herbs, and spices like basil, oregano, daphne, parsley; whilst the original dishes of mousaka, souvlaki and horiatiki salata (to mention a few) decorate each table deliciously. Lastly, let us not forget one of the most important international events which unite each nation in brotherhood, the Olympic Games, born in Greece, 776 B.C. in the spirit of world peace. Each traveler cannot resist the charm of this mystical land. # Greece is the birthplace of the Olympic Games, home of Ulysses, the Argonauts, and hallowed ground to the ancient Olympian gods. Today, a modern infrastructure, new airports, and world-connected communications provide the highest standards of service, both above and below water. A warm, dry climate supports thousands of uninhabited islands surrounded by the cleanest seas in all Europe. People are friendly, traditional, educated, and hospitable. Expect delicious local food, spirited entertainment, and unparalleled sightseeing. # Greece is the birthplace of democracy, theatre, philosophy and sport. # As ancient Greece is the birthplace of democracy, and, indeed the very underpinnings of the American way of life, so too was the American revolution the model for the modern Greek independence movement that began 168 years ago. In fact, Greeks used the United States Declaration of Independence as the archetype for their own declaration. Many American volunteers sailed to Greece to participate in Greece's war for independence. # As Will Durant wrote: Greek civilization is alive * * * it moves in every breath of mind we breath * * * so much of it remains that none of us in one lifetime could absorb it all. Greece is the bright morning star of that Western civilization which is our nourishment and life. Indeed, Percy Bysshe Shelly wrote: We are all Greeks! Our laws, our literature, our religion, our art, have their roots in Greece. Herro hera elefteria! Long live freedom! # Greece is the birthplace of athletics # Greece is the birthplace of philosophy # 4,000 years of history and tradition is revealed in front of your eyes, from Mycenae to Olympia, from the incomparable sculptures of the Golden Age (Acropolis, Delphi) to the Byzantine cultural heritage (Mystras, Meteora). Greece is the birthplace of democracy. It is hard to imagine what civilised life would be like today without the influence of ancient Greece. # Greece is the birthplace of one of the world's oldest and most glorious civilizations # Ancient Greece is the birthplace of the earliest written western theories about physiology (500-300BC). Hippocrates (circa 460-377BC) makes no mention of the spirit. Plato (circa 428-347BC) proposed that mind and body were separate entities # Greece is the birthplace of the greatest philosophers (Socratis, Thales, Plato, Aristotle), the author of the first great European literary work, Homer, the great tragedy writers (Sophocles, Euripides, Aeschylus), the father of medicine Hippocrates and so many others! # As scholars have noted, Greece is the birthplace of the art of rhetoric, grammar, and logic. While "many other ancient civilizations produced literature, only the Greeks produced analytic, expository treatises that attempted to discover the actual bases of human communication" (Murphy & Katula, A Synoptic History of Classical Rhetoric, 1994, p. x). # ancient Greece is the birthplace Western philosophy & science, including astronomy. Yes, I know the Egyptians were astronomers too, but that was mainly in Ptolemeic Egypt, which for all intents and purposes was essentially Greece. Sorry to be so droll, but I answer these questions about ten times a week. # Greece is the birthplace of Western civilization and modern thought. Greece is the home of Aristotle, Plato, Homer, and of the Olympic Games # Greece is the birthplace of mathematics # GREECE IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF DEMOCRACY, THE CREATOR OF SCIENCE AND ART, THE HOME OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND THE BEST PART OF EUROPE. .....I think that the only thing can anyone say is ...WOW! So proud to be Hellenas (Greek). PS. All the above were the result of a search in google with the words: ''greece is the birthplace''.

203 Greeks and brothers of war( serbians, croats, russians) when euro goes into full affect we will rise and not only spill the blood of turks and albanians but also any anglo saxon scum that has made themselves comfortable on our scared soil, The turks and albanians dont know that Iraq is waiting to rape there and kids, and the Kurds want there heads aswell, so, they too will join in the massacre against them,The Turks spend all there money on military for what? there end is written, only America and NATO stands in the way, no peace for them brothers for they gave our ancestors no peace...and when the day comes to step all over em, lets all rise and ride to glory, cause harmony will return!Love you all. P.S My best friend is Turksih , he knows wher i stand, and we respect eachother because our countries have fought well.

1 Didn't the Jews kick there sorry asses several times before?

1 Rusty.....why do you continue to post the images from the videos. This is beyond the macacbre and does nothing to enhance one's understanding of the terrorists brutality. Give it a break man or "enough already" as your compatriots say.

2 You and I have seen their brutality. Many others have not. Many also believe that they understand their brutality, but an intellectual understanding is not enough. I think one also needs an emotional understanding. The terrorists use this as propaganda, so do I. But the same images given different contexts is important. The context I hope I provide is useful in the GWOT.

3 The truth hurts..........

4 All of these people are someone's son. Perhaps someone's father, someone's brother. Someone's best friend. Perhaps that is reason to stop posting these images but I think that that is a stronger reason for publishing these images. Remember they are snuffing lives out here as though they were candles. THIS is what they are capable of. And make no mistake about it. YOU could be in line for this kind of treatment if they get their own way (a Worldwide Islamic State). I say keep posting Rusty. If people want to read about other matters and see different things, well, the Internet is a big place.

5 Good thing those were an 'Iraqi militant group' and not TERRORISTS . 'Cause terrorists would be bad, right? Terrorists might cut someone's head off.

6 Like I ve mentioned before posting of these images/links do help the terroorist only for the propaganda stuff. one should decide not to give into these maniacs!!! Another thing on ething is getting clearer and clearer...the intelligence is totally screwed up.These guys have stated the video propaganda from april. Yet no one is still able to track these people where/how/when..etc. But evryday a suspect place is bombarded another video appears???? The army should start answering to the lapses. To track a brilliant hacker/virus developer is very easy ..but to track the killers????? Somwhere it doesn't sound good!!!

7 I agree the shock value has subsided and all these images are doing is de-sensitising the horror

8 These faceless cowards are a disgrace to civilization as we know it today. They can hide and run but the US will hunt down every coward and destroy them. They are lucky we will only shoot and kill them rather than execute the way they do in such a cowardly fashion. They are the devil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9 al salam alykom warahmat allah

10 BISMILLAH ALLAH HOUACKBAR. I LOVE YOU BIN LADEN AND SADDAM HUSSEIN.MY ALLAH PROTECT YOU AND GIVE YOU LONG LIFE TO KILL THE ENNEMIES OF ISLAM. BUSH IS AN ASS. FUCK YOU AMERICAN. GO TO HELL.

14 Both those guys are stupid-The worst kind of war is a holy war. Bush certinly counters with his own holy war. Both sides have sufferd tremendously and both sides are fucked-

15 How dare a fucking pig like you use the name of Jesus. Die you scumbag bastard. Jesus would protect his flock. Not be a pussy faggot muslum lovin cock sucker like you. Eat shit and die. forever in hell you bitch.

16 Praise God for President Bush. He knows how to take out the musilim pig garbage. Die all you pig fuckin whores. You will all be extinguished by your own stupidity. Ha Ha Ha.

17 Hey Jihad, your mama just got done suckin my big hard dick. I shot jiz in her filthy pig mouth. She said she loves being a muslim whore. Just like her faggot son. YOU!!!!

18 Hey Jihad, you still out there? I just nailed your IP. See you soon.

19 Such videos should be prohibitted for they give the terrorists a place of pride worldwide. This thesame as telling them " Go On" News should be sensored if it will create distructive feelings

20 I am half turkish half English and 100% European. Proud of the real turks who have not been corrupted by islam, the true turks that are TURKS and not influenced by arabs. But that is turkey - for arabs and arabic nations all i can say is i stay clear of them because they have a history of trying to fu*k turkey over, but as people they are humans and majority of them MUSt be peace loving etc - we are not dealing with aliens here, they ARE humans. BUT these sick motherfuc*ers who do repulsive and cowardly things like behead turkish driver HELPING iraq, American troops doing their job and British aid workers are not humans, they are warped wierdos and deserve to be killed full stop. But i wouldnt say what some ppl here have, that is that all ARABS ARE FUC*ING ANIMAL ALL SHOULD DIE AND BURN, because they is clear unfair generalisation - much like many arabs here make similar stupid posts about "allah" and crap like that...both sides are hopelessly one sided and ignorant, but i guess thats also a minority in its self, and there are a majority of good, caring ppl who want peace - afterall this is what most normal humans want, peace in their life. The US and UK were wrong to invade Iraq because they started this whole situation - the british from imperialist times, so they are initially to blame, but the arabs dont stand up like humans but instead regrettably represent themselves with such monsters like musab al zaquari who give entirelly the wrong impression. Democracy just doesnt work in these societies - WHY can the "west" not see that and LEAVE these nations alone, the world is a more dangerous place now saddams gone - replaced with BUSH.... I could go on for hours, but to sum it all up, Arabs are different from turks, American, European...so on, we must leave their world and let them live in it instead of trying to impose "western" values on them that most "western" citizens dont agree with!! I am a turk even though in half British and i want turkey for theu, i want turkey to DROP religion and re-kindle KEMAL ATATURKS fervour for a secular non musliim Turkish republic to unite with democracy, and its happening and will happen, Its time Turks, British, Iraqis, Arabs, Americans just stopped intefering in each other and our respective nations and cultures - why ca we not step on each others soil for friendly purposes.... END RELIGION - ALL RELIGIONS WHICH CLOUDS THE MIND AND CONFUSES COMMON SENSE, and live together but on our own in our own ways, end the occupation of iraq and kill the perpertrators of these horrific behadings which do not represent human beings... Thank you

21 and the americans here who tell all muslims to fu*ck themselves and that theyre cun*s are as barbaric as Al-Zaquari himself...you might think u americans that the UK and Europe is behind you - no wer enot, the governments may be a little but the 700 million Europeans including 70 million Turks do not support you...and dont try to threaten us with your "military might", THE UNITED STATES OF EUROPE when UNITED can beat america in every sphere.... Same for the uneducated jihads here who are looking to god again for deliverance - face the facts with real democratic and adult like words, not an array or haphazard prayers!

22 Bin Laden, Bush, Iraq, Christian, Muslim, terrorism, extremists, democracy, Jihad, etc... Our emotions have been hijacked, my friends. Does anyone ever think for themselves without help from Fox news or CNN? If you are on the Patriotic kick, time to hang up the cleats. Hello, our kids are dying and nothing is changing. An idiot is running our country. Blood for oil? Sit and debate about it all you want. Whether you agree or disagree, all I want you to do is take a look at the FACTS. Our sons and daughters are being slaughtered, we are going into debt over our heads and yet we are fed this constant line of shit, and nothing but unrefined shit. It is time to send Rumsfeld to Iraq for a couple years. Yeah, give him a rifle and a pack, with a soldiers pay. Let that jackass see what its all about. Bush?? Its time to give old glory a rest for a day and string that bastard up. The world deserves better.

23 who is god who is allah,it just does not exist.. who can convince me not one iknow,all the wars on this globe have been for something,that has been fabricated over the years..when all the time it has been for other peoples greed.ie oil.and commodities, we shall witness the end of this globe,because we are thick.and mindless.and we all want someone to blame,for our demise. when you die you wont go to no glorified heaven or land of plenty,youll go to absolutly nothing.end of story,end of life. so when anyone gets killed murdered or whatever your not doing anyone a favour,least of all your idols,ie your gods and myths. i would like to say WAKE UP AND LOOK AROUND YOU. but i know it will fall on deaf ears.. so carry on,IT WONT BE LONG NOW??????

24 for gods sake, the guy is NOT a muslim. his arabic is wrong...sorry for all of you , especially the one responsible for this dirty trick.

25 Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one

26 That song is relevant, a good one, but i don;t think the worl dis ready to relinquish its nationhood status, war yes but not neccesarily statehood - still, that is not to say it isn't a good thing. We just gotta look at te 2 basic things people crave. A peaceful life and a happy one. If we work together this can be acheived.

27 e.yo ..white people..all mothafukas hahah first of fuck u bitch when i click u guy dont eva dis ma religoin mothafuckas.. first i would like to say to BUSH AND HIS PEOPLE FUCK U AND YOUR MOTHAFUCKING MAMA .CAUZ ...HE WANTS MUSILIM .TO DIE..RIGHT.

28 well, well... I came to this site by accident, but I thought to myself: hey this looks interesting! Now I realy wished I hadn't. The stuff I've read here! Americans who think they awn people like cattle, arabs who think they've got ALL the wisdom in the world just by thinking they have the right religion! Man, its sad. It is so very sad that it makes me wanna be god himself to solve the problems, for you know... god is God = Allah = Jahwe = practicaly every damned monotheist deity. COMPARE PLEASE, would you all!!!! read the entire bible, old and new, read the koran, read the kabalah, read everything you can possibly imagine about religion, and you will get my point. You all live under the rule of the same Lord, your Father, your Saviour. But do not think he will come down and rescue the lot of you... it would not happen. Books(like the bible and the koran (which derive from much much older religions handed over by oral communication) teach us values and rules, some of them are very outdated, some of them are still usefull. But of course, a lot of you are blinded and brainwashed from the day you were born, not thinking about the words you read, or misinterpretated (willingly or not). But PLEASE, PLEASE look further then your holy scripts... they were written by human beings who have had a vision... a vision that was written down hundereds and sometimes thousands of years ago. Stop living in the past... but look at the future. I do not think Jezus or mohamed like the thought of having a world wide war in their good names, killing thousands in their names, bringing fear to those who do not necessarily are bad of hart... in their names. Jezus helped people, remember? he did not go to them to kill them, on the contrary, he came to them to hear their side of the story and tu heal or ease their paines. That is something different than going to war, now isn't it? God bless America? hmmm... I don't think he would do so for the moment. The same thing with moslims. I do not think Allah will ambrace you when you wave died by blowing up yourself and your own people... your own sisters, your own brothers, your mothers, your fathers, your cousins, your friends..... YOUR OWN CHILDREN!!! And no, I am not generalising... there are far more good people out there, I know. But it is a shame that they have to live in fear. i'll take off now, greetings to you all

29 FUCK YOU U HASSAN AZIR MUSLIM PEICE OF SHIT GO FUCK ALLAH

30 another thing...... Fuck you Allah cunt, and fuck your mothers and sisters because thats what your allowed to do. HA!

31 Ikke Den Dikken: i can only say that at least someone on her has something sensible to say. wake up everyone and do what you can to stop people beleiving! Religion was a tool to control people during times of poor and frequently no education. this has changed now and you have no excuse for following the spoon fed outdated ideas of the past!!

32 have a bath u fucking cunts your skin looks like shit and remember wheres your forskin

33 BUSH??? SUCKSSS!!haha

34 This sort of mindless banter won't get anybody anywhere. You really want to disallow muslims from taking over the world? Then actually DO something, instead of pathetically insulting them on a website.

37 Congratulations, I am a simple WASP. Working a simple North American WASP life, helping and caring for people. That is what I did. Today, I've made an informed choice. I've seen what this facade faith, the muslim extremists, have done to justify simple human evil. I guess you need a god to assuage your conscience about the crap you come out with. Today it's 2005. Today I am committed to the destruction of the faith and the burning of the rag you refer to as the koran. Sorry. But you're simply primates. If you want us to fight at that level, so be it. I don't mind seeing your end. Game on.

38 I AM NOT RELIGIOUS AT ALL BUT I RATHER CHOOSE ISLAMITIC SIDES THAN THOSE CHRISTIAN WHORES WHOSE RELIGION IS ONLY TO GET MONEY FROM THE POOR SINCE THE TIME JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN MAYBE AND EVERYBODY WHO VOTED FOR BUSH IS AN IGNORANT FOOL WITH A VERY LOW IQ WHY WOULD YOU ELSE VOTE FOR BUSH AND HIS FRIEND OSAMA BIN LADEN (worlds biggest buddies) SO THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS IS TOO STUPID TO KNOW THE TRUTH

39 I THINK IT IS A DISGRACE THE WAY THE WORLD IS GOING THEASE DAYS. I LIVE IN THE UK WHERE NOW EVERYWHERE U LOOK THERE ARE MUSLIMS. THERE ARE CHURCHS BEING TUNRED INTO MOSQUES WITH THE TAX PAYERS MONEY. MY DAD WORKED AT LONGBRIDGE, BIRMINGHAM WHICH IS THE ROVER PLANT THAT HAS JUST BEEN SHUT DOWN. HE CAN NOW ONLY CLAIM £56 WHICH IS AROUND $100 OR SO I THINK FOR YOU AMERICANS. BUT IF HE WAS MUSLIM, CUDNT SPEAK ENGLISH HE WUD BE ABLE TO CLAIM MORE, GET A FREE CAR, FREE HOUSE ETC....IT IS WRONG!! THE QURAN SPEAKS ABOUT HOLY WAR AND JIHAD. IT IS NOT A PEACEFUL RELIGON! NO MATTER WHAT TONY BLAIR SAYS OR GEORGE BUSH SAYS. BLAIR IS TOO STUPID TO SEE IT, IM NOT RACIST BUT EVER SINCE SEPTEMBER 11TH 2001 I HAVE NEVER EVER TRUSTED A MUSLIM AND NEVER WILL AGAIN AND AS THE MUSLIM POPULATION GROWNS IN THE UK I GET EVEN MORE WORRIED. THIS IS PROBABLY WHY SUCH RADICAL PARTIES LIKE THE BNP AND THE NF THAT HAVE BEEN DESCIRBED AS THE NEXT NAZIS ARE GETTING MORE POPULAR. AND IF THEY DO GET IT IT WILL BE CHAOS........MOQUES WILL BE BURNED TO THE GROUND AND MOST MUSLIMS THAT WONT LEAVE THE COUNTRY WILL PROBABLY BE GASED. A PART OF ME WANTS THEM 2 GET INTO GOVERNMENT BUT A PART OF ME DOESNT.....

40 I will fuck u who sweared to muslim and Allah.U r all stupid wat do u know about islam and real muslim.U r all son of bitch.WE INSAHLLAH WILL MEET HEREAFTER AND SEE WHO IS RIGHT. ALLAH EXCUSE U.Surely Allah is most FORGIVING allthough u have MORTAL SIN.

52 KNOWING THE LOVE OF GOD BOX EJ 269, EJISU – ASHANTI GHANA – WEST AFRICA (REV. 3VRS 20) Email: knowing_theloveofgod@yahoo.com Dear Sir/madam, I am with much pleasure to write to you this letter. Anyway, I am a Young Ghanaian Male and also a panelist in one of the radio station in Ghana called Link F.M. We have a programme named “KNOWING THE LOVE OF GOD” which takes place on every Thursday from 8:30 am. Our main motive behind this programme is to teach and let the young ones know the real love our Almighty Father has for us. Infact, this programme has made great impact on the youth, which has totally transformed their lives. But the only problem, which we encounter, is lack of Bible, cassette and books etc to supply to our listeners and the repented ones due to financial problems. As mattew 28:20 says “Teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you behold I am with you always even till the end of age” Amen. For it has been my biggest dream to spread the gospel of the holy Bible and that I have been to many places like the Orphanage, prison yards, hospitals and many places only to win souls for Christ. So please I want you to help me make this programme very effective by sending me about 120 copies of the Holy Bible so that I can distribute them to the orphanage and the repented ones who are desperate to worship God. Beside, I still need your advice from God I got your address through a friend who contributes much to the programme and he is in the person of MICHAEL ASUMING and also enjoys it a lot. May God richly bless him. Please if you can get some other organization who can help us please in the name of the Almighty God try as much as you can and send them some of this copy. Thank you and may God richly bless you. Yours Brother in Christ ……………………………………… MR. & MRS. KENNETH AMOAH

61 All intelligent civilisations end up destroying themselves. we are but another breed on this planet that is conforming to the natural laws of selection. Keep hating, keep blaming, cos that's what human nature is. God Bless John Lennon, Ghandi, Mother Teresa. At least they tried huh.

62 binladen sucks. he should have his arms and legs chopped off and all al queda should die

63 i like this type of books

64 i think all you extremests are dirty scum of the earth.....you are gutless and cant fight like men you kill innocent people and make me sick.......you cant even fight face to face you have to do it like the rat infested little cunts you are..and i hope one day some american or english put a bomb in your country and blow your fucking limbs off and make darn sure we post it all over our media that will be the day the world smiles !

65 U can pretty well figure out the difference between the Arabs and the Yanks. The Yanks are mighty scared, knickers full of stinking shit, scared to go out and get themselves a wash. They just hope and pray America gases the Muslims some day and obliterate the race. The bigmouth red-neck scums think they can do it. And here are the Arabs, who are doing it, every day, even as more and more get ready to blow them up. The Yanks can pretty well call them dumbs, but not coward by any means.

66 HEY! scott u got real big balls right. u want america to kill the muslims. just remeber if that ever does happen it will be the end UUUUUU! AND I SWEAR IT THOU U MAY NOT KNOW IT BECAUSE OF YOUR IGGORANCE BUT !!! U WILL SEE. if u want u really want that to happen go out and do it YOUR TUFF... YOUR STONG.. YOU GOT THE BIG BALLS..

DONT LISTEN TO ME BY ALL MEANS CONTINUE TO DO WHAT YOUVE ALWAYS DONE. PARTY... DRINK AND GET DRUNK... FUCK LIKE ANIMALS... AND KEEP FUCKINGG TILL YOUR DOOM!! BUT DO NOT SAY I TOLD YOU !! INSHALLAH YOU WILL ALL GO TO HELL

67 Wot Sen has said is correct, "All intelligent civilisations end up destroying themselves." Look at the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans. Im supprised the UK has lasted so long and the US. Democracys always cave in on themselvs and it will happen to the UK soon because of the muslim state that it is becoming. Tony Blair wont get the idea into his head that 3/10 muslim are extremist and have extremist views. Some are peacefull and i feel for the innocent ones but there are plenty of bad muslims that will eventually rip the UK apart. Muslim laws and lifestyles are also a big threat. Women treated as 2nd class citizens my muslim men is a way of life in many muslim countries, and its getting more widespread in the UK. Tony Blair needs to open his eyes and remove all the extremists out of the UK straight away because more and more muslims are getting into the ways of the modern day terrorist. Even 1 of the London Bombers was a priamry school teacher who teached 6 year olds, it just goes to show you cant trust ANY muslims. I hope something is done before the UK becomes the next great civilized nation to become apart of a hisorty lesson. Peace Out xXx

68 islam is less a religion and more an excuse for arabs to misbehave. islam is a social disease, a genetic malfunction not unlike Down's Syndrome. allah sucks satan's cock in hell, right beside the front row seats where all the jihad terrorist sub-human homicide-suicide bombers are. Those islamic suicide bombers smoke a turd front rown center in hell with sad broken dreams of no 72 virgins, but rather 720 degrees of heat on their diaper-headed sorry asses. islam is incompatible with Democracy and people who are mentally deficient enough to succumb to the lies of islamic filth are not worthy of the blessings of liberty and peace. FK

1 Rusty; Thanks so much for introducing me to Freedom's Voices. The picture of the school opening is worth a 1000 words. I curse ABC, CBS and NBC for never showing anything but pain. Why is this? A school opening and a letter of appreciation is much more important and meaningful than news of another killing.

1 Rusty, I agree with you! How can we expect to reason with these idiots if they are beheading their own people???? How can anyone say it's Bush fault for invading their country? If so, then what is their excuse for beheading their own? That's a lame excuse to blame it on our invasion of Iraq. You're right...these people forgot the images of the twin towers, MY HOMETOWN, as a matter of fact, and they DARE SAY WE STARTED IT????? I don't get it...why is everyone against me and not attacking your views as well? I agree with you!

2 People can have their opinions and different views...that's what freedom is but that doesn't mean that any1 can say anthing for eg..ur comment I guess last week about nuking whole of Iraq...how can you say such thing...Here you try to justify Bush about defending ur country ( orginal cause for war ) and liberating the people ( post war cause )...just because some lunatics have decided to use the video/internet for false propoganda to scare the people .In fact those people are would be smiling by viewing ur comments!!! Like someone mentioned previously ...if some lunatic serial killer went on a rampage in New york ..you mean to say lets destroy the whole City. n.b. Laura didn't u mention before that u'll never be back here....Contraditions to the Core!!!

3 I'm with Laura as far as taking drastic measures. OK don't nuke IRAQ in its entirety but nuke the 3-4 cities where the insurgents are hiding. Also, after Hensley's, Armstrong's and Bigley's barbaric deaths, line up those women captives (Zarqawi was trying to release), and execute them. Unfortunately, this is the only language they understand. They are vermin and should be treated like so with no sympathy, remorse or emotion. Anything less is just a waste of time.

4 I believe if you want to see the Twin Towers, you can go to www.neverforget.com and they will even put it on your site. Every time I see it, I cry like a baby. We should never forget it and never forget these atrocities either. ~C

5 I think the blog is beginning to lose its way. The continual posting of the beheadings seems more to satisfy the voyeuritic tendencies of a few. By all means continue to voice your objections and disgust at the murders, continue to make the videos available for the weirdoes,but we do not need to be bombarded with graphic video images unless of course, that, that is your thing.

6 They are kidnapping and killing people that are there to improve their country. It is so disgusting. I guess they go by the motto of "cutting of your nose (or head) to spite your face"! Let them rebuild the roads and schools and telecommunications system if they are so opposed to anyone else doing it! I know that many of you say we cannot associate all Muslims or Iraqis with the wrong doings of these terrorists but it is hard not to do so. It is unimaginable to believe that nothing can be done to catch them and stop these killings. Someone must know who and where they are! Why are they not giving them up? If we are fighting for them and there freedom and safety, why are they not doing the same?!

7 Quoted above """"I'm with Laura as far as taking drastic measures. OK don't nuke IRAQ in its entirety but nuke the 3-4 cities """""... well it's the same thing whether u nuke the whole Iraq or a City..u kill innocent people!!!..How the hell do any1 know that the insurgents responsible for these acts reside in those cities... One thing is sure the whole ideas of nuking cities from the bogs here and elsewhere is that they have realized that the |intelligence | is totally screwed up!!!....No Doubt Also I agree with James..it's enough posting images of the dead..Pay respect for the families. Provide details but not grapically!!!

8 "well it's the same thing whether u nuke the whole Iraq or a City..u kill innocent people!!!.." I say that because I am results oriented. Innocent people died in Hiroshima too but it got the job done...I know it's unfortunate but that's war and after 9/11 we are at war. Also, how come there are no reports on the Darfur crisis?

9 Problem with Zarqawi is that he isn't from Iraq... He's just a Islamonutter who's holed himself up there. He knew shit would be going down there so he knew he had an element of security amongst the chaos. He knows we won't go bombing indiscriminately for fear of killing the "innocents". They're beheading people with such regularity these days that you just hope they get a bit complacent one night and pick on the wrong people. The fact that we're "tiring" of these beheading videos could be seen as a good or bad thing... Good because if no one bothers to download them anymore, that is less propoganda going out on their behalf. Bad because if they see this is not working, they might crank things up a bit to grab our attention once more... if they're capable of tying a man's arms behind his back and chopping his head off with a knife, they're capable of anything.

10 As an aside, and I've said it before. Surely it is not beyond our means and technical ability to ensure that a significant number of "likely targets" be fitted with some kind of "tracking device"?

11 Expat.....The reason for going to war was to rid Saddam of his WMDs and liberate Iraq from his tyranny. To suggest using them in Iraq would stink of hypocrisy and shows a complete lack of understanding of the situation and a lack of respect for human life. Your final solution is ill thought out. Red devil.....it is not that the images are tiring or that they have lost their impact. When I read an article about someone's beheading I dont need pictures or the video footage to reinforce my feelings of outrage and disgust. As far as I can see, watching such gruesome material satisfies a morbid curiosity and in no way enhances or enriches one's life or understanding of the situation.

12 Laura: Everyone is not against you. Most are for you. It's just that we have figured out what Roopesh, and james the America hater are. Both of them probably wear their dirty laundry on their heads. So why talk or listen to them. Don't even read their posts. Not worth the time.

13 Red Devil: It's true that the pig Zarqawi is not from Iraq. It is true that the Sunni's are supporting and protecting him. They are quilty too. I'll always remember who was dancing in the streets after 9/11. I'll never forgive them or have any feeling of pity or sorry for them.

14 I do not hate America nor Americans. I disagree with Bush's foreign policies. After our last debate, I suggested that we refrain fom personal attacks. By all means continue to disagree with me if that is your choice, but it is still possible to be courteous.

15 James, the reason going to IRAQ was oil and containment of terrorist prolification including the WMD, but I don't buy the liberation crap, I mean we supported saddam in the IRAN-IRAQ war, you can't be that naive. Why don't we go and liberate the poor south Sudanese people of Darfur whose little girls are being r@aped by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi affiliates. (clue: no oil in Sudan) You are right about the nuking and loss of life but it's hard not to get carried away. There must be some kind of nuke that can annihilate a small section of a city just establish a perimeter and use it, IÂ’m afraid that's the only way you know you got them, the world won't give a shit and even if it does who cares, the US has lost 1052 fine kids over there to date. I hate to think that we will have to drop another American soul for these scum bags. Also, if these fundamentalists had a nuke they would use it on us in a heart beat.

16 Yes, thats right. The Americans are not bothering with Sudan because there is no oil there. Ahem ::>> The first export of crude oil from Sudan in August 1999 marked a turning point in the country’s complex civil war, now in its twentieth year: oil became the main objective and a principal cause of the war. Oil now figures as an important remaining obstacle to a lasting peace and oil revenues have been used by the government to obtain weapons and ammunition that have enabled it to intensify the war and expand oil development. Expansion of oil development has continued to be accompanied by the violent displacement of the agro-pastoral southern Nuer and Dinka people from their traditional lands atop the oilfields. Members of such communities continue to be killed or maimed, their homes and crops burned, and their grains and cattle looted. The large-scale exploitation of oil by foreign companies operating in the theatre of war in southern Sudan has increased human rights abuses there and has exacerbated the long-running conflict in Sudan, a conflict marked already by gross human rights abuses—two million dead, four million displaced since 1983—and recurring famine and epidemics. (oh, by the way ~ the Americans refuse to deal with Sudanese oil) http://www.hrw.org/reports/2003/sudan1103/8.htm#_Toc54492556 try infowars.com ~ much better conspiracy theories there for sure.

17 HEY JAMES: aka shit for brains. You call my president names I call you names. Get it. I've waiting for you to complain about the name calling. Now you know why. When a terrorist hugging shit like you stops demeaning my country and its leaders I will stop calling you names. Talk about your own country. You're not one of us, though you probably wish you were, so quit saying derogatory things about my country and it's leaders. I've yet to hear an American say anything bad about your country. This proves Americans are better than you. Change up asshole and you will get the respect you claim to deserve. Until then, kiss my American ass you terrorist loving sissy.

18 I beleive one thing in this world that we can never change is people wanting to distroy each other. As far back as you look people have been at heads with each other. Im sure even cave men even attacked each other. The problem today is the scale of the attacks and weapons used and so much hatred bred into people.The world is getting more and more populated ,to see the starving children in the world is devistating and will only continue on and on for generations to come.And religion will also forever be a huge issue . I beleive as long as there is humans on this earth there will be death and distruction.We can try and do as much as we can to control it but it will never ever end

19 Roopesh, what are you, the Blog Monior? Yeah, so, I did say I wouldn't be back, what of it? I can't change my mind? Your comments about innocents being killed when we bomb, although true, that's what happens in war! There is always friendly fire, and others who unfortunately will be hurt or killed. You don't hear about the American soldier who carried an injured Iraqi child after a bomb blast? Of course not. If you remember the Viet Nam war, they called us "baby killers"...what do you expect when there is a war? That you can pick and choose when the enemy is all over the place? And no, a serial killer comparison is not the argument here...of course we wouldn't "nuke" NYC is a killer was on the loose! This is a war, much different. We bombed Japan..you don't see them starting any shit since then...actually, they like us now! The beheadings are being used as an excuse that we "illegally invaded" Iraq. The terrorists want everyone to believe that they are doing this as revenge for going there. Does no one think that this started a long time ago, even before 9/11? We should have taken care of this long before we invaded Iraq. Especially when the towers were attacked in '93. What did Clinton do? Why is Bush being blamed for everything? America didn't start this war. We are only trying to finish it. I agree that we may have gotten into more than we can handle in Iraq. It's time to get our troops back now, and let them do whatever the hell they want with their country. We went there to help and if that meant trying to snuff out the enemy there, why are the others, such as CoogarUK and his group of anti-American Brits, saying that we illegally invaded Iraq? None of them have ever said what THEY'D do to stop terrorism. All they do is continue to bash Bush and America. And the only reason they are doing so, is because their country's in it too! They wouldn't even be discussing the subject had Blair not joined in alliance with Bush! Do they really care, or is it because they fear an attack on their own country, which fortunately, has NOT happened to THEM...do they not think that if an attack on their country happened, that they wouldn't be just as angry as us Americans are?

20 Hey greyrooster, I said the same thing on another thread about how these so called "innocents" were celebrating in the streets and passing out candy after the 9/11 attacks. Someone commented that that was actually taken years ago, during the Gulf War and was used as propaganda after 9/11! Can anyone verify this? And where's the Kin Bigley thread...can't find it...the one where there's like 400 or so comments?

21 Never mind, I found the Bigley blog. Seems there's so much Rusty's reporting on now, you have to get it through the old archives. Bookmarked it now. Carry on....

22 Expat......I agree that the real reason for going to war was oil and that Saddam's alleged possession of WMDs was the catalyst for the invasion. I do not buy the "liberation" theory either and was merely citing it as one of the official reasons that Bush et al have used. I still refute the idea that any use of WMDs would be productive. Moreover it would be illegal and immoral. I am not a soldier or an arm chair general and could offer no suggestion as to how to counter the terrorists. Laura.....your understanding of the war is child-like. How old are you, 15? Would suggest you do a little more research and come up with your own condclusions rather than regurgitate the views of those who have absolutely no understanding of the war at all. Believe me, it makes you look more stupid than paehaps you actually are. Greyrooster.....As I said, I have neither the time nor the inclination to get involved in a slanging match with you. If you have something imtelligent to say, by all means say it. But if your posts continue to be personal attacks, so be it, frankly I couldn't care less.

23 Are the arguments moving over to this thread now, besides the Ken Bigley one? James, you and Coogar UK can take your anti-American comments and shove them up your "arses" where they belong. Anyone who has a diff. point of view is "stupid, childish and ignorant" according to you and him. I am not 15, I have a son who's 15, though, not that I have to prove anything to you. All you have done is lambasted and insulted anyone that disagrees with you, as is CoogarUK. What a horrible representation of your country! I got an email from "Miss Brit" who only posted here once, because she was horrified and disgusted by comments made from "her country"...she said although she didn't agree with my views, she repsected them and would never insult anyone for their opinions. She was embarrassed by the flame flinging by her fellow mates, and asked me to please not think that all Brits are like that. Personally, if you don't care, then why talk about it? Stick to discussing the debate and leave the "childish" insults and snide remarks at home. Look who's 15 now!

24 JAMES the America hater: If you could care less, then quit crying. Sissy.

25 LAURA: That crap about substituting films was just another attempt to take pressure off. The truth is the Islamic trouble makers were unsure of our reaction to 9/11. Many of them though we would retaliate immediately against all known America hating organizations. Maybe some terrorist supporting countries too. They didn't want to be the ones to receive our rightful wrath. In fact, Arafat had his goons going around palestine collecting any video tapes taken of their dancing in the streets. If you remember, the 1st news tapes that came out showed their block parties. Then suddenly no more. I believe the government squashed them due to fear of retaliation against muslims in the US.

26 Differences of points of view are what make a debate. I have exchanged views with many people without having caused offence or taken offence. But sadly too often, there are those who submit posts which are nothing more than rants. I have not intended to cause offence and if you disagree with my point of view so be it, that is your right. Greyrooster's rants are not worthy of comment. Bored with this now.

27 Bullshit copout, James. We can disagree, but please let's do i w/o being disagreeable! If you Brits are so against the illegal invasion of Iraq, then complain to Blair and stop bitching to us. The only reason you're even on this blog is b/c of Britian's involvement in the Iraq invasion, otherwise, you wouldn't give a shit! America was invaded. Never in a million years would we have thought this would ever happen on US soil, but it has, so we must defend ourselves. And if this means we need to seek out countries that may hold terrorists at bay, then so be it. Innocents are killed every day in the name of war, I'm not saying it's right, but it's a fact. Any country, if so invaded, would defend themselves.

28 Nobody takes offense or means to offend, until you start mouthing off about how stupid and childish others are for their points of view, James! It puts folks on the defensive, savvy? Now that you've properly riled up the Americans, you now state that you are "bored". Typical childish banterings. Wouldn't you say so? The bully is bored now, he doesn't want to play anymore now that he's met his match.

29 Laura.... you should really engage your brain before sharing your thoughts, otherwise you will constantly be perceived as some rather thick gullible school girl. And your latest post provides further proof of this. Firstly America was never invaded by Iraq. Secondly the 9/11 attacks were an act of war, but they did not constitute an invasion. Would suggest you find a dictionary/lexicon and look up the word, invasion. Using words out of context is frustrating for the reader and does little to enhance the kudos of the author. Now why dont you do me a favour and go off to play with your friends. Your are to young to concern yourself with such weighty matters. Enjoy your innocense whilst it lasts. As I said yesterday, I am bored now.......and have no inclination to humour silly little girls. Bye bye

30 Then stay the fuck off the blog if you feel you're dealing with children. Case closed.

31 Laura.....charming language, but save it for the playground! For someone who purports to be the mother of a 15 year old, you should really mind your Ps and Qs.

32 Thanks! Seems you are enjoying this back and forth bantering. Who's being childish now? You and CoogUK are on the same wave length...why don't you and he get together at some pub for some pints and discuss the debate amongst yourselves? Better yet, go email Blair and tell him how upset you are for his involving your country in Iraq. That's what this is all about, isnt' it? Would you evenn be posting on this blog if your country wasn't involved?

33 Laura.....presumptious as well as well as having a limited vocabulary!! Never claimed to be British nor any other nationality. Not everybody opposed to the war is British or European for that matter. L8rs loser.

34 Limited vocabulary? hehehe...look at what you just posted, "as well as as well as". Look we can go on all day trading barbs back and forth. I for one, wish to get back to the business of discussing the beheadings, as what this blog is all about, and stop arguing back and forth whether or not you think the invasion in Iraq was illegal. Fact remains we are THERE, now, what should we do about it? I'm not afraid to say blast em, but no one else has said how THEY would fight terrorism...oh, besides holding hands and chanting peace be with us all.

35 this shit is the most fucked up twisted i ever seen, his fuckin head is on his back for christ sake, the mo fucker was hacking the shit out of his neck, im surprised he got through the spine, musta worked out before he hacked off the guys head, strong mother fucker!!!

36 i agree with the giant, some crazy shit goin down there, in my opinion, yous should bomb my ass till the red meat shows, bomb like mother fuckers, oh ya and hail osama mother fuckers

37 Haven't you heard of the "Blue Sky" conspriacy?

38 Haven't you heard of the "Blue Sky" conspriracy?

39 Haven't you heard of the "Blue Sky" conspiracy?

40 Of course, all of you have had the same life experiences of all the so-called terrorists. After watching your wife get raped in front of you, your sister maimed, your children shot, etc.. let's see your mental state on having people who live their lives like animals invading your country. Of course, someone rapes your family member, and you would petition the government... Well, guess what>? It doesn't work. Bush has got his head so far up his ass, he thinks he is a devout Christian. He acts and knows nothing of the true teachings of Jesus!

41 to all of the above. If you look back at all history it is filled with bloodshed of people military or not. Our own is one of the most violent of all. In french revolution they exocuited 11,ooo people in public, all beheading or hanging or other ways to kill that person. This is not a war, its a conflict of nations. The beheading is a tatic of war. We as americans try to paint that point over. We kill them and they kill everyone. Its part of the event that well happen no matter what you do. go a head protest or pray to god or join the military a kill a few of them but the death will not stop untill someone submits and its not going to be the US for sure. so lets go with it and see what happens you cant controll chaos, unless that is what war is controlled chaos.

42 i think that who ever does this to people are sad and it is absoloutly discusting that they can torcher there own people and treat them this way i think they should grow up if they can treat people this way people should treat them this way when i seen them pictures i was sick!!!!!!!!!!! regan evans

47 i think this shit is sick we all need PEACE you know. thats a word thats supposed to describe our lives but obviously some people want to go against it. in every country there are evil people lettin there country down but 90% of each country are inocent people who do this need to put themselves in the inocent peoples shoes and then they will see we have a life that needs living so let people live it!thank you.PEACE OUT!

48 YES JENWEN everything u said is true,but what can we do???anywayz PEACE OUT!!!LOL

1 "What worries me most about Kerry is his immature view of world politics. He seems to have no conception of nations acting in their own interests. Rather, he seems to think that nations act out of friendship." You Sir, just hit the nail on the head and, this mindset scares the hell out of me.

2 no, he gets it, thats why he plans on kissign european ass, by returning to a police investigation model of a fight on terorism. its what the euroscum support and they will gladly ally thier public talking points to support kerrys paper tiger approach to terror. they think that terrorism is just a nuisance and so does kerry.

3 This is ridiculous. France and Germany already told Kerry they would not send troops to Iraq if he was president like he said he would have them do after the first debate. What is their problem anyway? ~C

4 they dont subscribe to the same world view as americans. terror is like a natural disaster in thier opinion. and should be weathered, not fought. secondly, they have become such increasingly socialistic nanny states, they dont have the money or a citizenry with any spine to help fight. the euroweanies are to engrossed in the task of staring at thier own navels sucking at the government teet, or blaming america for every calamity known to man for the last 10,000 years.

5 It makes you wonder what the motives of these two countries are? They probably enjoy what is going on in the Middle East at present. None of these countries have offered any solutions. The new Iraqi government that will be elected in January, will not forget their friends in the future. God bless Iraq and Afghanistan.

1 a black scorpion and dagger I love that.

1 Not being a major supplier of arms to Iraq doesn't mean that the U.S. didn't back Iraq in the 1980s. If that's what you think, it's being pretty narrow-minded. A backer would be one who supported the regime of Saddam Hussein, be it with weapons, financial aid, or other material help. As such, evidence like the $1 billion given to Iraq in 1989 (used to precipitate the arms buildup that led to the first Gulf war), the $500 million guaranteed by Federal Import-Export Bank in 1984 (used to build pipelines), Agriculture Department loan guarantees in 1988 of $1.1 billion - all of these are pretty convincing that the U.S considered Iraq an ally worthy enough to help where it could. This is just some of the support Iraq received from the U.S. (though let's forget about the fact that it's been widely documented that a fair bit of the aid the U.S. gave Iraq was used to buy weapons - from other countries). Again, you don't HAVE to give a country weapons to be supportive. By the way, all of this is pretty available to the public, so it's not like it's a big secret or anything. Don't get me wrong, Saddam Hussein was a cruel dictator and once everything is settled in Iraq, they'll probably be better off for having him gone. But, let's look at ALL the facts when making a point, not just those which seem to fit a theory.

2 Also there is the fact that the $200M you are listing is FMS (Foreign Military Sales), the hardware we gave Saddam from the stacks of weapons and equipment being decommisioned from our arsenal and sold for scrap weight or given for free isnt included in that number.

3 Saddam unquestionably murdered considerable numbers of people, including many potential secessionists, such as these Kurds. However, there is nothing to indicate the number is 300 to 400,000, as we were told. Your story is "hundreds", most of the other sites are much smaller again. And killing secessionists or opponents in a Civil War (eg Saddam in 1991) is entirely acceptable to the rogue nation - their Civil War cost twice as many dead, 650,000, and the perpetrator is a national hero. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/iraq/story/0,12956,1263901,00.html PM admits graves claim 'untrue' Peter Beaumont, foreign affairs editor Sunday July 18, 2004 The Observer Downing Street has admitted to The Observer that repeated claims by Tony Blair that '400,000 bodies had been found in Iraqi mass graves' is untrue, and only about 5,000 corpses have so far been uncovered. ...... It comes amid inflation from an estimate by Human Rights Watch in May 2003 of 290,000 'missing' to the latest claims by the Iraqi Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi, that one million are missing. ...... While some sites have contained hundreds of bodies - including a series around the town of Hilla and another near the Saudi border - others have contained no more than a dozen.

1 Words escape me on this occasion. They're gonna let the woman have the baby and THEN stone her to death? Well, that makes sense, wouldn't want to appear to be TOO barbaristic (is that a word?) Do you ever get the feeling you're rowing against the tide in this world?

2 Every day man. Every day.

3 Now Rusty, you well know the only reason women are stoned in Nigeria is because President Bush all by himself invaded the poor, kind and merciful Islamic people in Iraq. Or is it Blair's fault? Has to be one of them.

4 It's ok for these pathetic asshole guys to have sex with anything that walks and these guys carry HIV and that's OK? They suck! They should cut off their dicks or balls, just like they cut off the womans clitoris aka "circumcision"-to keep them in line. Maybe Bush can go after them next-We can only HOPE!

1 "May God speed the victims' souls to heaven, and may His wrath reign down upon the spineless terrorists in the form of a MOAB or other appropriately large ordinance." This is precisely the kind of crap that isn't needed here. God can speed whatever he likes but if this is a war of "our god against your god" then leave me out of it. I ain't fighting for any god. I'm fighting for reason. This is rationality vs irrationality. Not Christianity Vs Islam. Take all mention of God out of the Declaration of Independence, and you have a pretty good formula for living.

3 why do these people just kill inoscent lives when they know that the american government wont show any emotion for these incidents. This is not right. It is not here aults that they were brought up to be against the insurgents im sure im they had a choice they would bargan for thier lives by not interfering with something that is not thier problem. I hope the morons that execute inoscent victims will be executed the same way

1 Oh yeah, they've been there for awhile now - you see reports over the past months about them attacking police stations, taking them over, attacking another police station and so on. seems no one has really picked up on this although it was quite clear who was doing it and why. It seems they don't care who they kill; they have their own radical agenda. ~C

1 Hey, October 12 is a big day all around: In 2001 the Nobel Peace Prize to the UN and to Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, for their work for a better organized and more peaceful world. In 1990 the UN Security Council votes unanimously to condemn Israel's security forces for killing 17 Palestinian demonstrators on the Temple Mount. Hmmm, is there a pattern here? In 1945 a conscientious objector wins US Medal of Honor. Private First Class Desmond T. Ross, of Lynchburg, Virginia, is presented the Congressional Medal of Honor for outstanding bravery as a medical corpsman, the first conscientious objector in American history to receive the nation's highest civilian award. When called on by his country to fight in World War II, Ross, a dedicated pacifist, registered as a conscientious objector. Eventually sent to the Pacific theater of war as a medical corpsman, Ross voluntarily put his life in the utmost peril during the bloody battle for Okinawa, saving dozens of lives well beyond the call of duty. And of course, 1492 Columbus arrives in the Indies (West, not East as he thought). After sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, Columbus sighted Watling Island in the Bahamas, initially believing that he had found Asia. His expedition goes ashore the same day and claims the island for Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain, who sponsored his attempt to find a Western ocean route to China, India, and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia. Well, they had to find that gold! The Indians, Columbus reported, "are so naive and so free with their possessions that no one who has not witnessed them would believe it. When you ask for something they have, they never say no. To the contrary, they offer to share with anyone...." He concluded his report by asking for a little help from their Majesties, and in return he would bring them from his next voyage "as much gold as they need . . . and as many slaves as they ask." And the Indians were soon enslaved and worked into the ground. So much for the white man's progress.

2 i think it is really sad that people are dieding and getting killed i think people should be a lot nicer.lots of familys have died and lost of love family have gone i hate it when things like this happens. look at the kids out there who dont have family becuse of what happend think to your self and say y did you do that? thanks you very much. bye delcia connolly.
