O Rly?

I don't have a hardon for Pelosi and I dunno much about the guy, except that he said we already lost, but...

"Iraq will be a society in which there is relative peace. I say 'relative peace' because if it's, like, zero car bombings, it never will happen that way."

-Bush

Yes, instead we should blindly forge ahead like stubborn mules with no consideration for alternate perspectives.

What does that have to do with the enemy using innocent lives as political leverage?

Are you condoning the mass murder and genocide by al qaida and insurgents in Iraq?

Do you not think fighting genocidal maniacs is ummmmmmm......a good thing?

I dont think you looked at the graphic.

My bad, I did read it...although I didn't read the header at the top and was thinking of moderate Muslims and Europeans that aren't line in step with the US. I'm just used to Neo-con reactionary rhetoric when it comes to questioning our commander-in-chief. Which is, frankly, kind of how you reacted to my response, automatically accusing me of supporting terrorism. You'd be hard pressed to find any westerner who agrees with Islamic extremists, but it does behoove us to learn WHY they hate us. And, although it doesn't justify their actions, you might find some legitimacy to their anger. Now people like the Taliban will probably have to be wiped out because they've used that anger as a way to gain power which they will never give up, but working towards trying to eliminate some of the elements that causes that anger would help prevent future terrorism.

Still, while I agree with going after Osama and Al Qaida for 9/11 (happy 6th anniversary btw) the whole War on Terror is both bullshit and counterproductive. As we continue to throw our weight around in the Middle East more and more, the disaffected youth will continue resort to terrorism.

If you think justifying their Hate makes sense to you and makes you feel better, go ahead.

Their hate is not the issue.

Their ACTIONS are. Their GENOCIDAL ACTS are the issue.

Hate is an emotion and has little practical use to me.

When they decide to engage in genocidal tactics in Iraq and around the world as a political tool....I dont care WHAT Their emotions are....they deserve death or worse.

Rational people control their emotions, including anger and hate, and do not becoming murdering animals.

If a rational person wants to discuss their points of difference....SURE! Lets have that discussion.

THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE.

We are not dealing with rational people with a differing point of view.

These people are MURDERING CIVILIANS LIKE ANIMALS .....

What do you do with the BULLY in the SCHOOL YARD? Do you have a dialogue with him?

No, you punish him for his bullying, and you repeatedly punish him until he stops.

If he cares to stop. Then we can discuss how he is NOT going to resort to those tactics again.

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

If you actually read what I said you'd notice I didn't say it justified their actions in the least and it doesn't pardon anyone from their crimes, but it sure helps to understand your enemy, I think.

Using your analogy about a bully, I'll say that if you could change the conditions that a bully was and/or is being raised in, you would stop a good number of them. Sure you'd never stop all of them because some people are probably always predisposed to be that way (also, unlike the Taliban, I think that dialog with a bully as well as punishment helps to quell the situation).

>>We are not dealing with rational people with a differing point of view.

I already admitted that I mistook something on your poster to think it was referring to other countries opposed to us, no Islamic extremists. I'm one of the many people that come to this board to mock the bullshit that comes from the mouths of extremists of the Islamic faith (as well as the other Semitic religions).

I hope this theory works for the Australian Prime Minister......

It has, you havent heard?

Australia Japan and India just signed a mutal security pact.

Democracy on the fucking MARCH

you cant stop it.
