You care about the enemy all you want. As the atrocities pile up, you'll be left in the dark.

If only I had the courage and focus to be part of the vanguard of the revolution like you, right?


LOL

Yeah Yeah..

It's pretty obvious whose side you're on.

While you think you're supporting some noble cause, you're no more than a cindy sheehan. 'Don't label or hurt the enemy!'

Nice in theory..

See, what you're missing is that we've learned that that old "ugly American" label was just a tool to make us feel guilty. Now we've met the rest of the world, we've been "seeeensitive", and it is far, far uglier than we've ever dreamed of being.

Destroy the islamic stuff, keep the rest.

I'm sorry - I have to disagree. Don't get me wrong - I have no love of Islam or the Muslims. Buildings are different. I've dreamed of seeing the Golden Mosque since I was a kid - can't do it now. The most beautiful building in the world is the Taj Mahal. It is an Islamic building - so you'd just as soon it be blown to smitereens? It's the building that's important - not the religious beliefs of the one who built it!

It needs to be replaced with a museum called "Get on with it". In that area, nothing has improved since the 8th day.

My thanks to Dennis Miller for the suggestion.

So now the muslims will not only fight the West I included the EU now because of the cartoons, but could erupt into a huge fight between each other. While normally I would think it a good thing for islam to concentrate their fighting and killing between their sects this was only done to disrupt and harm our presence there.

Anybody who thinks we will be able to pull our troops out of Iraq anytime in the next hundred years and this place not turn into a massive war zone between shiite islam(backed by Iran) and sunni islam(backed by Saudi Arabia) disrupting the oil from the whole region to the world thus causing oil needy countries to march their way, has their head in the sand(never underestimate the islamic mind for not seeing the big picture).

The only other way to keep the peace in Iraq without our presence there is to reinstall a ruthless dictator. Just great.

When I visited India I visited quite a few importnat Muslim pilgrimage sites. Very impressive and beautiful structures.

This is pure insanity and is a loss for all of humanity regardless of religion.

29 mosques!

Sectarian violence sweeps across Iraq Shiite holy site levelled in coordinated militant attack

A leading Sunni politician, Tariq al-Hashimi, said 29 Sunni mosques had been attacked nationwide. He urged clerics and politicians to calm the situation “before it spins out of control.”

After they clear out the rubble, it looks like an ideal spot for a Christian cathedral.

What a perfectly horrible thing to say.

This must throw a bit of a wrench in the President of Iran's plans . He was waiting for this guy and now the mosque is gone .

I thought the President of Iran thought HE was the 12th and final Iman. Now, what?!

Things will really get exciting when Israel completes their partial withdrawl from the West Bank and reclaims the Temple Mount.

That's the only possible gain I can see from their withdrawl.

And the reaction will make all this look like child's play.

Do you read any milblogs. The servicemen say the same thing about our progress.

Hi, bayourant....I haven't read any milblogs except pieces excepted here and there. Are there any that you recommend? I'd like to get up to speed. TIA!
