Maybe we should build a wall around Iraq, then fill it with water.

The van was driven by a "kamikaze"? These Babelfish translations turn a horrible incident into a "All your base are belong to us" moment.

WHEN are these animals going to finally be exterminated?
Oh, maybe we could trace their cell phone, maybe the credit card or money? Why not?

Effin' NYSLIMES!!!

You could do some editing of the machine translation to produce a more natural English flow. It isn't that hard. That being said, Al Qaeda is not seeking to liberate Iraq from the Americans. It seems bent on killing as many Shiite Iraqis as possible. That is how they win friends in Sadr City. How diabolically brilliant!

Just remember, our wonderful USSC thinks this "kamakazi" deserves the same legal rights as our military.

Damn good thing I can swim...

The media, definitely, without a doubt is contributing to all of this.

They will do everything they can to make this mission a failure.

They won't succeed, though.

It's just disgraceful that our troops have to fight the terrorists and the media.

Maybe we should concentrate on fixing OUR problems instead of fixing everybody elses problems.

Who is this "we" and what are you doing to fix any of OUR problems?

Seriously, are you contributing?

We, the West, the United States.

We, the United States, while invading secular Iraq, continues to allow Wahhabist Saudi Arabia fund mosques, schools, think tanks and lobbies on our own soil, whose purpose is to undermine our culture and impose Islamic law on everybody else.

I am AWARE...are you?

You didn't answer my question.

What are YOU doing to contribute to helping fix the problems? I don't mean spouting off a bunch of hot air...I mean what of value are you doing to actually contribute?

Terrorism IS one of OUR problems, by the way.

I am raising awareness of the problem.

Are you?

Or do you just blindly follow?

Of course I don't just blindly follow. What a misguided assumption on your part.

And from what I see, you're not raising any awareness that is news to anyone. You're just complaining a lot about what needs to be done and making completely useless suggestions, like filling Iraq with water.

Are you actually doing anything to help alleviate the situation? Are you contributing anything to the fight against terror? Have you had anything to do with the fact that there has not been a terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11? Are you part of the solution or are you part of the problem by just sitting back criticizing and complaining?

I'm trying to make you think here. Please don't make that so difficult for me.

Geez. You might want to check Allegra's FR name and info before making really, truly, completely, unequivocally, absolutely embarrassing statements on the internet.
