And Brown isn't, Afghanistan and Iraq underequipped military forces that's the murder, his constant abuse of statistics makes him a liar (you've never had it so good springs to mind) and not calling the election when he thought he might loose a few seats that's the cowardice. So that's all 3 then

Phew... jaymason equates delaying an election to selling arms to Iran to fund the contras murderous war in Nicaragua. Perspective, eh, it's a fine thing.

perspective has nothing to do with it, you said he wasn't a murderer (indirectly he is just as regan was) he is most certainly a liar or at least a misleader (look at the spectators brownies), it is only HOC protocols that stop the tories and liberals directly saying so and he has certainly exhibited cowardice on many occasions hence his McCavity nickname of never being there.

So I'm afraid Bob that perspective has very little to do with it, at least Regan was likeable and never got caught on live TV picking his nose

jaymason, are you really newmania in disguise? Your arguments are so facile and your grammar so bad, if you are not him, (picking your nose or ordering the murder of innocent Nicaraguans - you make your choice) perhaps you should try to get together with him and make babies?

On second thoughts... perhaps not.

Sorry I'll try and correct my grammar as for facile arguments I don't really see that one you cannot take issue that all the points raised are true, I don't care about him picking his nose at all, but how do you think it makes the UK appear on the international stage when one of the most popular political you tube clips is of Gordon picking his nose. Why is killing Nicaraguans worse than killing anyone else if all human life is equal then surely Iraqi and Afghani lives that have been lost including innocent women and children should be on our Parliaments conscience, deaths in our own military surely should be, after going to a politically motivated war underequipped with insufficient body armour, night vision kit, grenade launchers and helicopters. I quite like your blog(even though it comes from a different perspective to my own views)but at least stick to reality. G Brown is as guilty as Regan on all counts.

jaymason, I don't know whether you are still doing your GCSE's... but it ain't my jib to eeducate you.

If one death equals 20 million deaths... what's the difference between a soldier who inadvertently pulls the trigger and kills an innocent civilian, than Hitler or Stalin?

A war crime is a war crime, after all.

I'll try to bring you back to perspective, but I suspect you just don't get it.

I suspect that jaymason is saying that Reagan's support for the Contras in Nicaragua is not much more reprehensible that Brown's support of the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. And 20 million deaths?

Alternatively, saying Reagan was a killer because his Government supported guerrilla groups does make that epithet apply to rather a lot of leaders.

20 million? Get a life (or perhaps a calculator).

There were more Labour MPs opposing the war than Tories, so I won't take lectures from those jerks.

Reagans government didn't... the murdering lying bastard didn't tell them.

Um... I was questioning where your use of 20 million came from.

The 20 million figure doesn't have to relate to anything if jaymason thinks one death is equal to 20, 2 million or 20 million.
