Impressive how flipant you are about the theoretical death of millions of innocent people. Say, what other group of folks have similar disregard for innocents?
I would like to see a bit more outrage for these sorts of things from the surrounding Arab nations....from Imans who speak of Islam as a religion of peace. Our leaders, religious and otherwise, are very quick to condemn the degradation of the Iraqi prisoners....and rightfully so. I would like to see the same kind of response from the Islamic world...from the Arab world. Hoping we'll see that...hoping that we'll hear that these jackholes will be held accountable for their actions. But I don't think we're going to hear that. I hope I'm wrong.
The scumbags we are fighting with...oh wait, i forgot....we should recite the Geneva Convention before we design the golf courses. In fact...we could actually call one of the courses Geneva Links. We can hold a PGA Tour event there and call it the Abu Gharib Glowstick Invitational. Only thing is that we should do it the week before or week after the Dubai Desert Classic so that Tiger can play in it while he is over there.
No, it's just an idiot thing. You are an idiot and associate with idiots, therefore you can all validate each other's idiotic thinking.
i figured it had to be something like that another insecure poster who can't deal with a differing opinion
Mr. Jones (you can call me Mr. 77 if you'd like) I was saying irregardless of whether or not they were there before, they are there now, and we must stay and continue to fight. The post was in reference to the frame of mind that we are never going to defeat these S.O.B.'s; that we should pull out because it is difficult, whatnot. That said, I think teaching the arab world that has been devoid of liberty the basic tenents of freedom, not neccesarily a democracy, but a government that has a level of freedom; maybe the place to start would be economically, take the reigns of the markets out of the governments hands...(I thinks I'm beggining to ramble in this paragraph). Anywho, that is one area in which we can combat terrorism. The other (and these two should work together) is through military actions, both covert and for show (as andy was saying beef up intel, although thats not neccesarilly something I think should be publicized or used as an election fodder, simply because we don't need to broadcast that we will have more spies/covert ops out in the world) To Mr. Fisher, One radical Christian doing something completely irrational and morally wrong does not neccessarily equate to the whole movement of radical Christianity. In a sense, anyone who believes that God became man so that through the death and resurection of this one man, all of humanity could merit eternal life; could be classified as being a bit radical. I think we can take a step back and say that the ideas of Western Civilization, our art, culture, and government etc., are superior to the ideas of radical Islam, most notably seen in groups like Al Queda and Hamas, to name a few. That said, I think we can also say that the ideas of radicals within our own borders, i.e. the KKK are inferior and out of line with the ideals of Western Civilization. Anyway, I have lost all clue as to what the hell point I was trying to make. NJ Rocket, eat a bowl.
Well you are talking with people, who like yourself, have very little knowledge of what's going on, what's been said by the president, etc. According to the president we are trying help an entire region, and not at war with the entire region. We are supposedly there to help Iraq too. I haven't ever compared Bush, or his policies to Hitler, because that downrades the horrible atrocities that Hitler committed. I won't even say you are like Hitler, though your descrimination, and desire to act with violence and murder based on that desrimination against innocents, is in line with Hitler's thinking. It is clear that you have very little idea of the documents, ideas, and values the country was founded on, and apparently have no desire to live by those ideals. You are welcome to your opinion and ideas, despite the fact that are unAmerican, advocate genocide, murder of innocents, torture, rape etc. As for Al Qaeda, I along with everyone I know, wants them to pay. They should be hunted down killed, brought to justice, etc. They are our enemy. We are at war with them. They were not connected to Iraq, and they are in the minority of Muslims. I hope we get OBL soon.
To take a page from your book of posting, this sentence doesn't make sense; could you please rephrase it so we can all understand your wonderful life giving message?
...any more than a radical Muslim doing something completely irrational and morally wrong equates to the whole movement of radical Islam.
Here's a start Max ----------------------------- Iraqis Shocked by Beheading, Despair Over Violence By Ghaith Abdul-Ahad BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Most Baghdad residents on Wednesday condemned al Qaeda's beheading of a U.S. civilian in Iraq (news - web sites), but many said his death was just the latest atrocity in a cycle of violence that is driving them to despair. A Web site video showed a masked man cutting off the head of Nick Berg, a 26-year-old civilian, and said al Qaeda's leader in Iraq had personally carried out the killing in revenge for abuses against Iraqi prisoners. Berg went missing last month when dozens of foreigners were seized by guerrillas after Marines launched a crackdown in the city of Falluja. The Marine operation followed the killing and grisly mutilation of four U.S. security guards in the city. "The Americans killed hundreds in Falluja in retaliation for the mutilation of the four Americans and now those people are killing an American in retaliation for the torture of prisoners," said Arkan Mohammad, a cleric at Baghdad University. "Someone has to do something to stop the cycle of violence from going on and on." Even in the Baghdad Sunni Muslim stronghold of Adhamiya, where there is fierce opposition to the occupation, many residents were appalled by the decapitation of Berg. "We denounce this act. No-one can accept the killing of another human being in this horrible way," said Yassir Saleh, a 30-year-old barber. But he too pointed to a tide of violence that has swept the country since the fall of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites). "Sometimes I really can't understand the logic of what is happening, all the violence that I could have never imagined would take place in my country," he said. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm.../nm/20040512/ts_nm/iraq_beheading_reaction_dc
