He won’t kill me. But if you live in any major American city I’d be worried.

Now this is the kind of CHANGE I was hoping for!

ACME stock is going to shoot through the roof in the morning!

What a maroon.

shesssh.

Since when are terrorists anything like Luke Skywalker? As far as I know they hate hollywood so why would they want to be like Luke?

Actually, the guy is onto something interesting - however he has totally misconstrued the meaning and application of the principles that he has described.

Just look at this excerpt from the article:

He said one terrorist told him: “We have been raised on a theory of superheroes. We all want to be like Luke Skywalker. "When we’re doing mundane things, we lose track of our ambition but when someone comes along, like Asahara, the head of the cult, and presents himself as a messiah and gives us a picture of progress that is ordained by heaven and that we are carrying out a saintly mission on earth that is for us extraordinarily evocative.” Mr Danzig added: “The parallels with al Qaeda are obvious.”

The parallels that are blindingly obvious to everybody except Danzig are the ones between what he has described as the terrorists' mindset, and the mindset of the typical Obama supporter. Obama is tapping into that mother lode of low self-esteem and despair and incompetence and malaise and nihilism that is the predictable result of years of nurturing and hard work to advance the Demo/Commie agenda. Those folks are ripe for the picking.

You can see the same effect at work in the crowd photos in Leni Riefenstahl's films - those weak-minded souls who are looking to fill the void inside with a movement that makes them feel like supermen...

Considering there Muslim terrorist attacks on the US mainland in the 1st year of Bush & Clinton, whoever wins will likely face the same. Even Gore would have been better than Obama. God help us if Obama gets in. He's so dumb, he can't even pick relatively good aides.

Because he is always gloomy and appeals to their weeping inner child?

How can anyone take this guy Obambi seriously. He is the typical henpecked husband.

Every time I see this ass-clown I get to laughing and keep saying to myself...he's got to be kidding.

The problem is...the republicans are offering McCain. THis is not the time to let him have his turn. We needed Duncan Hunter to win this thing.

This is what the terrorists are waiting for and you can bet 9/11 will look like child’s play compared to the next terrorist attack

...the future of US strategy in the war on terrorism should follow a lesson from the pages of Winnie the Pooh, which can be shortened to: if it is causing you too much pain, try something else.

This merely ensures that everybody in the World will have an interest in causing us as much pain as possible. Nothing could be stupider.

You can't assume that the World is static. Terrorists are not bees. They are people with their own (perverted) logic.
