That stability was kept by massive oppression bordering on genocide, something people seem to forget because Iraq wasn't open we will probably never know the true scale of what Saddam got up to.
no,i think we are just getting older. we have always had shit to scare us.nazi's,cold war,ira terrorists, nuclear bombs,global warming,european union,immigration avalanch,muslim fundamentalists.george bush.
Britain is safer because the IRA are no longer a threat, thanks to Blair (amongst others).
Britain is though less safe because of Islamic backed terrorists and part of the responsibility for that is down to Blair's decision to pursue a pointless war in Iraq before Afghanistan had been cleared up.

Not sure we're that big in Iraq, but over the last couple of weeks we've had people posting or reading from:
Brazil
Slovenia
Croatia
Hungary
Hong Kong
Israel
Venezuala
Russia
Mexico
Belgium
China
Norway
Portugal
New Zealand
Japan
Poland
France
Germany
Sweden
Denmark
Thailand
Spain
Italy
Ireland
Canada
Australia
United States
and Leicester
or maybe the peace process was speeded up by the american realisation of what terrorism really is.suddenly the ira holds no credibility,funds dry up and blair is able to cash in on their weakness as they have nowhere left to turn.
it could be that fallout of american foreign policy has made us safer in that regard.

war is peace....Make em scared of something and they will obey...we'll always be at war with something, terror, cold or just global warming...war on 4x4's etc....
[cite]Posted By: Solidgone[/cite]I wonder if there are any Kurds using this site as it would be interesting to here their angle on Saddam and what it was like pre and post-invasion?
The Valley Express extension there was cancelled after relegation, apparently.

I can't claim the credit for this but I think it's pretty good!
To be sung to the tune of Sinatra's 'I did it my way !'
And now - The van is here,
There's only one thing that I'm certain.
Cherie will swipe the lot,
Every light bulb and every curtain.
I haven't spent too much on holidays
They've all been freebies.
My thanks to Little Cliff
And one of the Bee Gees.
Regrets, I've quite a few,
But none at all about my pension.
While some have lost the lot,
Mine is great, I'd like to mention.
Some say that they hate me
For selling gongs along the highway.
I pray that Scotland Yard
Will not come my way.
There were times, Iraq no doubt,
I thought that I would get found out.
But through it all, my friends stood tall
And kept their gobs shut one and all.
Then someone said:
Just use your head
And blame Lord Levy.
What is a man, what has he got ?
Well in my case, it's quite a lot
And very soon in the USA,
Millions more will come my way.
And George Bush knows
I took the blows
And did it his way.

i was just asking a question.
Do you think the world is less safe because of Blair?
life goes on.
I also think there is probably increased media coverage and reporting on the dangers now which makes people feel a lot more unsafe
