The first thing we would do is open up the mines and start making you pay for that water!

hello    RE: Arditi   4/22/2004 6:16:57 AM
I am a little surprised by your list. Are you sure Arditi that Germany is ranked above both UK and France. Also, is India really ranked above Russia!!

Ad - governments never call referendums unless they believe they can win. Any other course of action would lead to a probably fall of the government. Blair must, therefore, believe he can win. It's not a question of what people think, so much of what question gets asked. Ask the right question and people have to vote for you. Eg. Q: Would you support the UK joining the EMU should all economic indicators show it as being overwhelmingly important that we do so? You see what I mean? Owain - there's no such thing as a Welshman! ;) Fullamongo - if it was that simple, don't you think matters might be a little different? I don't know where you get your £3000 figure from, but it strikes me as a little strange. There are economic reasons for joining, and economic reasons for staying out. That there is so much debate and no resolution is in itself an indicator that no-one really knows, at the moment, what would be best.

PuckaMan    CAP   4/23/2004 6:27:13 AM
All you Brits and Europeans, just out of a matter of interest, what do you think of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)? I was studying it at university this week - not everyone is happy with it, and some take everything and give nothing (France and Spain), also the problem of 'wine lakes and butter mountains'..... So, I'd like to hear the opinions of some Europeans on the matter.......... Cheers, Pucka

french stratege    smudge: India can not reach France with nuclear weapons    4/23/2004 2:42:44 PM
while we could send 400 on them with our nuclear ballistic subs and air/naval force.Also Germany have no deterrent and blue navy.so after UK and France. As France have a little weakness in navy against UK (attack subs: 7 vs 12) but a huge superiority in fighters and C4ISR (in a conflict were US would not be involved) we rank above until UK have 100 eurofighter operational and finished to improve its C4ISR (Iraq and Afganisnistan conflicts shown that France was above UK in this matter).C4ISR are FORCE MULTIPLIERS! take them in account when ranking world armies and capacities!!!
