At the time of the Korean war Kim Il Sung probably had more support than any South Korean leader within the whole country. In fact South Korean communists had a strong following within the South

Kim Il Sung was not popular. That is why the Soviets did not want him to take part in UN monitored elections. So he refused to hold elections and crushed any oppostion in the North.

The Korean war and the Vietnam war were more or less the same thing. And it is funny that the Korean intervention is seen as good and the Vietnam war is seen as bad.

Becuase they were not the same. See my original post. |

and the South Korean leader Lee Sung Mahn was?
Communism was probably the strongest political forces in Korea in 1950 and Kim Il Sung had more support within the country than did Lee Sung Mahn. |

Nope, and neither did you. All I have to go by are the facts as they relate to this case.
Prosecutors claim Youssef Belhadj is the man seen in a video found near a Madrid mosque two days after the train bombings. The man in the video says the attacks - which killed 191 people and injured more than 1,800 - were revenge for the presence of Spanish troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It was their spokesman in the video.

| No I don't. I am just talking about why they carried out the attack and what information we have on it. The only Euro countries in which terrorist attacks have taken place are Spain and Britain. Countries that did not participate in the Iraq War have not been attacked |

Why not? Switzerland too easy of a target? How about Denmark?

Religious nutballs. Took their anger towards the Iraq War to horrifc lengths.

And then there was the Bali bombing which was directed at Australia.

Different group.

| The Spanish people kicked out a government that forced their country into an illegal war that they wanted nothing to do with. Spanish civilians were killed as a result of their participation. They did the right thing |

They still gave into the terrorists. |
They punished their government. Elected one that ran on a campaign promise of pulling their troops from Iraq. They did the right thing.

The war was not illegal cause Saddam never gave up his war. |
It was an illegal war. But since we've been over this (with other posters) too many times to recall I see no need to bother. |

I was talking about his overally popularity.
Kim Il Sung being popular with the South Korean people is actually a communist myth that pro-pyongyang groups still spout today. |

Did what Al Qaeda wanted
This is not the end. They didn't set up a cell in Spain cause of the Iraq war.
First Iraq
Then out of Afghanistan
Then out of Morocco
Then out of Adulusa
What do you think if the Iraq war is over that these guys are going to go away.

If Saddam never gave up his war how could it be illegal? |

Spain detains four suspected of links to Al-Qaeda
Saturday, June 30, 2007
| Quote: |
| MADRID: Spain's Interior Ministry said Friday police had arrested a Moroccan man in Barcelona suspected of having links to Al-Qaeda, three days after three other Moroccans were detained for the same reason. The ministry said the man arrested Friday was "presumed linked to the Al-Qaeda cell dismantled this week." The ministry had said the men arrested Tuesday were suspected of recruiting people to send to jihadist training camps in Africa. Morocco is seeking the trio's extradition, the ministry said, adding they were thought to belong to an Al-Qaeda group which claimed responsibility for more than 30 deaths in attacks in Algeria. Al-Qaeda-linked fighters are being trained in countries in the Sahel region such as Mali, Mauritania and Niger. This week's arrests follow an investigation launched in 2005 after Morocco dismantled a militant network with branches in Spain. The Algerian-based Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat changed its name late last year after it rebranded itself the North African branch of Al-Qaeda. - AFP |
