I have never said you have never lived outside OH. You may have lived in Timbukto, but your mindset is very naive. My worldview isn't caustic, it is realistic. You don't have to believe what I am saying. Just ask anyone else who has lived there. Why do you think the Arab world is full of tyrants? The only Islamic country that has been able to reform is Turkey, and that is after it was humiliated.
Germans don't have to fly planes into our buildings, they will simply let those terrorists operate from their countries. The terrorists couldn't have picked a better spot to operate from. Their anti-Americanism blends in pretty well with the rest of Germany. You know Al Queda is not your friend. But, the Germans and the French are far worse because they pretend to be our friend.
You think you will be safe with democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq? Oh my. Thanks for the laugh.
Far worse?? I think not. They're not fooling half the nation, and they're not fooling this administration. You think Condi Rice thinks Chirac and Schroeder are our friends?? LOL!
But to say they are more dangerous than terrorists because they are not our friends, is a giant stretch, IMO. (And what about Japan..........interesting that you haven't mentioned them in your argument).
As to being safe with Iraq and Afghanistan's being democracies..........I should have said safer (that's what I meant). And we are.
And if you think we're not, then I'm the one laughing. You may fancy yourself more cosmopolitan and brighter than the rest of us (you did call me a fool, you know), but once again, your ideology has gotten in the way of your logic. We ARE safer because these countries have been liberated.
