Mario replies: What you believe does not matter to the Iraqis unless you are a citizen of Iraq. What business is it of anyone else's what kind of constitution they choose to have as long as it is done democratically and the interests of minorities are protected? Are you aware that Britain is officially a Christian country? My reply: Are U a citizen of Iraq? If my belief is not their concern, you mean to say that they should follow your opinion? What if I am aware Britain is offically a christian country? What are you getting at ?

See below for others opinion:(posted in this portal) May 01, 2005 15:28 IST United States Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, paid a secret visit to former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and offered him freedom and possible return to public life if he?made a televised request to armed groups for a ceasefire with allied forces, a media report said. Saddam promptly rejected the offer, Ynetnews reported quoting London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi daily. Complete Coverage: Gulf War II Rumsfeld made the offer when he visited?Iraq about two weeks ago and only a few Iraqi officials in Jordan knew of it, the Arab daily reported. Two weeks ago, Britain's Telegraph had reported that Iraqi gunmen were offered a "deal" to halt all attacks in return for a reduced sentence for Saddam, who is likely to be sentenced to death. -------------- Regards, Carlos RESPONSE: I really hope the LibDems here in the U.K. get a sizeable number elected so that they can use their leverage to get our troops back home and leave the Yanks to their own fate. As I see it, this will eventually be another Vietnam; the Yanks will be given a good kick up their proverbials. Their supporters will have to eat crow. Cheers, Gabe Menezes.
