If someone puts their life on the line to help out our troops and our mission, damn straight they deserve special treatment.

People will be more reluctant to be allied with us if this keeps up.

It's a sound way of thinking even if you're an evil emperor. Who is going to help voluntarily next time if you don't look out for your people now?

The point, Tribesy, isn't that the U.S. is irresponsible and evil, rather that we've had our rough patches too, and we shouldn't be scolding the Brits.

Never said it was evil , just noted that Rabbit was throwing stones from inside a glass house

Hmm, I know for a fact that we resettled a huge number of Hmong tribesmen from Laos. Not so sure about Vietnam, or what the numbers are.

Hmmmm...how many Hmong over how many years and how much effort was made to stop them coming or to send them back to Laos ?
But hey they is terrorists now ain't they , some of them want to change the regime back in their old home

Oh, you mean when the peaceniks demanded we leave immediately?

Oh you mean the chain of events when the government started a war with a lie , kept it going with more lies , started another few secret illegal wars , tried numerous "surges" , all despite knowing from the start that they couldn't win , and eventually it finally reached its natural conclusion ......yep that was the peaceniks rabbit...

or was it the freemasons and jews

This is another one of those decisions where the right thing to do is so obvious, and comes at such a trivial cost (I hardly think 91 iraqis and their families will put much more of a strain on the country than the 700,000 Poles who have arived in the last year or two) that you wonder what kind of morons we employ as civil servants and politicians.

Although I have little doubt that the decisioon will be reversed.

So, I take it all here agree that locals who've helped us (whoever 'us' is) should get preferential treatment through our immigration systems?

Nope .

oh lots of reasons , lots and lots of reasons really .
I can think of a recent example on this forum where it was basicly only Panzer saying that someone who had helped with the "mission" should be given special treatment .
But to respond to your question with a question . If you choose to back the losing side why does it make you deserving of special treatment ?
