Still nothing from CAIR.

How's the coverage from Al Jazeera ?

When the Kurds were gassed, were those pictures immediately available for the world to see?

[TBarnett34]

Fair and balanced, I'm sure.

All the children are our children.

The children starved in Ethiopia, Somalia, Haiti, Rwanda, Sudan, the Embassies, Bali, the first World Trade Center bombing, the destruction of the towers, Afghanistan, Iraq.........

I don't mention the military targets, thats for another time.

This is the time to mourn the civilians the world over who are the targets of depraved cowards.

G-D HELP US, WE NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP THIS MADNESS.

BTTT

[BurbankErnie]

DAMN

I wonder if this will inspire Russia to join us and get serious about Islamic terrorists. I also wonder if the europeans will claim that the children were "arrogant" and "imposed their will" around the globe, and thus "got what they deserved"

The photograph that really grabbed me was one taken the day that 31 hostages were released. The young blond woman and her toddler are strikingly reminiscent of some Renaissance painting of a Madonna and Child. The way she's holding the baby, the hand gesture, it's all so Madonna-esque. Breath-taking.

Oh, beautiful essay, by the way.

"Every single day," I said, " I thank God above that we are all here, in this good place, close to each other and still kept safe from things like those going on in Russia."

But we aren't safe from the things that are going on in Russia. 3,000 dead Americans from 9/11 prove it.

We can only hope to be safe if we do all in our power to resist and destroy this subhuman evil.

"I am willing to do anything, anything at all, no matter what it may be, to keep him out of that photograph. That's my answer to what I saw. My question is, 'Are you?'"

Yes.

Thank you for writing this.

[OldFriend]

Sadly sadly europe is saying we need to understand the root causes.

I have no words for their insanity.

[OldFriend]

Only someone living three thousand miles from ground zero could consider themselves safe.

Not true my friend. We here on the other coast know better.

[THX 1138]

How's the coverage from Al Jazeera ?

Coverage? They don't need no steekin' coverage...

[Eastbound]

A solution may be to round up as many Islamists as possible and put them in a pen in plain sight of the terrorists. Tell the terrorists that if anyone is fired upon, the sound of their guns or bombs will detonate a bomb planted in the midst of the penned Islamics.

Make the ratio of penned Islamics 100 to 1 hostage.

Furthermore, make sure the terrorists know that the sound of their gunfire will be transmitted over an rf frequency to radio-controlled bombs planted at every mosque in the area.

Let the destruction be by their own hand and stupidity.

The larger issue is not the distance from a particular terrorist incident. It is whether any American is harmed by a terrorist. Hey I live in the North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains. Not a likely terrorist target Right? Regardless, any terrorist activity on the planet will beget more of the same. W is one of the few World leaders with the guts to fight and kill these terrorist bastards.
