Don't get me wrong mate, my best mate worked for Chase-Manhattan bank, had an office in one of the towers, pure, blind luck that he wasn't there.
I for one was very pleased to hear of Bin-Ladens' demise, shame they couldn't get the mofo alive and do all sorts of things not allowed under international Law. I just think he will be quickly replaced, and this problem is far from over, it needs a complete mindset change in a huge swathe of humanity before the problem will go away. That's gonna take hundreds of years, not tens.
I could not agree more...mcbeee said:steve853 said:Mcbee,

agree 100%, and I firmly believe we should have left them alone years ago, it's none of our business if they want to live in the stone age, left over colonialism and the "Missionary" mentality have caused a large part of the trouble today. It's hard to see all the squalor and hardship without wanting to do something but if that's what they want let them have it. Close the borders and stop the "Bleeding Heart" idealism and let them go back to the stone age, it's their choice...not ours.

Unfortunately the no1 invaders of other countries are the US, followed closely by the UK.
The US meddle in everyone else's' business, and that is the reason behind 911 and all the other terrorist attacks against them and us.
The most rapid growing business in the Arab world, is the one that sells American flags and matches. thats how welcome democracy is. Leave them to live their own barbaric ways.

Well to be more accurate, GB had the largest empire the world has ever known, so technically we invaded far more countries than the US ever has....thats why so many things are coming home to roost.....

Farooq Murad, the Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, made the following statement on the reported death of Osama bin Laden:
“Few will mourn the reported death of Osama bin Laden, least of all Muslims. Many Muslims will reflect on the ten years that have passed in which our faith and our community have been seen through the prism of terrorism and security. The Muslim Council of Britain has consistently stood firm against terrorism and violence, and will continue to do so. His extremism has been responsible for the deaths of many people, including many Muslims around the world. The actions of his movement which have no basis in the teachings of Islam have led to the pursuit of unjust wars and untold suffering.
Today our thoughts must be with the families of all those who suffered in the terrorist attacks around the world as well as of thousands of innocent lives lost in the wars against terrorism. It is unfortunate that his death has deprived them of the opportunity to see him brought to justice in the court of law.
Al-Qaeda’s ability to sow discord and mistrust between Muslims and others has caused untold damage. We must restore our belief in human dignity and peace by ensuring that we stand firm against all forms of hatred, injustices and violence.”

Shirley Spain's was larger? (All of South, Central America, Caribbean, most of Italy, Holland, Phillipines and the whole Iberian peninsular)
lacroupade said:I don't know who Shirley Spain was but I've never heard of her empire?![]()
But seriously, no is the answer - the British Empire was way the largest ever, period. 25% of the worlds land mass and 25% of its population at its height.
