"The current administration is attacking the Constitution by using a manufactured war on terrorism. You figure it out."

Maybe someone can put you in touch with some of those 'manufactured' family members of those 'manufactured' dead people from September 11. Or perhaps a refresher course on the prior WTC bombing, the USS Cole, the Khobar Towers, and the statements following each by the perpetrators.

Just maybe if we stopped invading their countries, meddling in their internal affairs and stopped looting their natural resouces, "they" wouldn't feel it necessary to defend themselves. Even the nuttiest of the bots could surely see that when you put American troops on the ground in Saudi Arabia, that you are asking for trouble. A big part of the problem is that we are only presented with one side by the government propagandists. We have a history in the ME of supporting puppet dicatorships while talking democracy. The only surprising thing to me is that the Muslim world hasn't responded even more violently.
