These are people who use their own children as weapon delivery systems.and whose children are in Iraq serving under America?
johny, I really don't know what to say. You equate arab muslim children strapped with bombs to our soldiers? You equate muslim terrorists with right wing christians? Maybe we should kill ourselves? Lets ban religion is the US, that will stop the muslim terrorists.
Scotlassie, when will you people stop blaming Bush,christians, and the US for muslim terrorists? We have been appeasing these scoundrels since Reagan ran from Beirut. They hate us because we don't use our power to destroy them. They hate us because we exist. They hate us because we appease.
Bush has tried to bring democracy to the middle east hoping that one state would create a domino effect toppling all the dictatorships, who finance the system that creates the terrorists because having the US as a bogeyman keeps the masses in line. It was a noble but stupid plan.
Mid east democracy in not worth one US life. If you go to war go to destroy your enemy and win. If you aren't willing to do your enemy one more than he will do you, don't go to war.
Matty, W appeases the terrorists with his attempt to bring democracy to the middle east. I was for the war because I thought we were going in to destroy our enemy not bring democracy to them. We led the horse to water, it ain't drinking. Bush should have attacked Syria and Iran two years ago, not in attempt to bring democracy to them but to crush them. Syria and Iran are waging war on Israel now via Hezbollah. Its really difficult to argue this with people who think we are the bad guys.
lassie, Syria and Iran are attacking Israel. Israel is defending itself. Its too late to argue about whether Israel should be a state, that horse is out of the barn. Israel is a legitimate state and it is defending itself. They are at war. Ceasefires only enable Iran and Syria to more troops and arms into Lebanon.
I predict by the end of the day there will be blogs in the US with stories of how todays events in London were really hatched by Rove and Bush to make the Dems look like idiots for opposing surveillance of US/Overseas communications.
Jack,
Don't get sucked into this thing trying to defend your nephew and niece. There will always be those who do not understand honor or a sense of duty for they have none themselves.
Islam will be the cause of the third world war. As you say Johnny: tolerance is a two way street and muslims are the least tolerant people in the world. Do you remember the demostration in London with hundreds of muslims saying we are the cancer of Islam?. What are they doing in London or the occidental world then? Why dont they go back to their countries to live in tents on the desert again? That is what they deserve.
The catholic Kings did very well in Spain when they got rid of all the muslims.
Kate, its part of spanish history. The same kings that discovered America sent the muslims back to where they belonged.
A soon as muslims show some respect for us I will show respect for them.
Hell you are all being to nice. I would have pulled out our troops and our allies and dropped a bomb on their sorry asses.
But Jakey, I thought you, Dubya and the rest of the hawks in the US had risen up to stop the terrorists! Or was that just crazy talk?
:-*

Has anyone else ever thought about all the REALLY nice glass sculptures that we could have if we nuked a desert country!
I mean CMON, each one of us in the "WESTERN" world could put one on our mantles as a reminder of the hard times!
Alisen, I know of no Christinian who wants gays dead. I know of no person who wants homosexuals dead.If so they aren't Christian. Now there are Christians and non Christians who don't approve of homosexuality and homosexuals and think the whole thing is disgusting.
frenchpat, read your post and I have no idea what your point is,but you described today's news as bad news. It was only bad news for the radical muslim terrorists and the states and forces that support them. Today news was excellent news for anyone interested in freedom from these monsters and freedom in general. The good guys won today, thousands of lives were saved today.
alisenjavi...and thats why Islamic terrorism is acceptable!Just saying the christians ain't so christian - I won't defend a group who want me dead because of sexual orientation ( but then again they want everyone dead because they want rapture and not the Blondie song) follow the thread it isn't that complicated
Who in the sam hell watches the 700 club. That jerk doesn't speak for me.SO who is watching them and giving them money to have a tv station- just because they don't speak for you doesn't mean there aren't mindless idiots who buy into that shit
Frenchpat, people supported the invasion of Iraq for many reasons,one being wmd. Almost every lead Democrat(including clinton and kerry) as well as the entire UN was saying as late as 2000 that Iraq had WMD and had to be stopped. Did they have bad info? Was the WMD shipped off to syria or iran? I have no idea. Personally, I was for the war on Iraq but against the attempts to shape its government.Iraq was artificially constructed by outside forces and should probably be allowed to split up into separate countries. We didn't fight to keep all of Russia together,why here?
If you are gonna view every terrorist plot break -up as some type of conspiracy so Bush and Blair can stay in power ,because if true the reality of situation means the war on terror is successful and strengthens Bush and Blair, you will find conspiracy behind every moment in history.
I have it on good authority scottslassie that GW Bush supports Hibs FC.

WTF? Its because we dont have the stomach to profile. We have become more concerned about what people think about us than operating our security in an efficient and intelligent manner. If we were only searching Muslims and middle east types as we should be doing, the libs and media would have a hissy fit, so to avoid this we search grandpa and grandpa and waste billions. And the fucking tsa swiped my brand new Tag in the Ft.Myers airport. Its a real mess.
Geo is deep shit? Who cares, he isn't running again and oppositions only solution is to appease and mollycoddle.

Frenchpat,seems we have a failure to communicate. The US was not formed by outside governments or agencies as Iraq was.
I don't understand your comments on USSR(now Russia).
We may have had bad info on Iraq, but so did everyone else. Everyone thought they had WMD till Bush said he might invade.
As I said I was for invading Iraq and taking out Saddam, but against hanging around to help shape their government. Instead of invading immediately we spent almost a year cowtowing to the crooks at the UN(who were all taking payoff from Saddam in the food for oil scheme) and letting Colin Powell play diplomat. That delay enabled Saddam to hide or transfer out of country WMD(if he had it and the whole world said he had it up till 2001) and prepare a defense reminiscent of Muhammad Ali's "rope a dope".
Seldom do wars go as planned but because of our lack of guts to completely destroy our enemies in Iraq we are over two years late for the necessary invasion(or carpet bombing) of Iran and Syria.
