Well, if they want to blame America for everything, maybe we should give them something to squeal about.

Who cares what they think? What are they gonna do, make it a safe harbor for terorists to train and carry out bombings against the U.S. and Israel? The fact that so many believe this garbage (my personal favorite is the theory that the Mossad carried it otu to make Muslims look bad) is evidence that we are at war, nothing more.

You ought to read Farrakahn's newspaper.

Sadly, we are being drawn into the war that has been going on for five thousand years.

I couldn't care less what they think. However, they do sound a lot like the left wing in this country. Just more members in the "Blame America" club. Maybe the charter members of the club(Baldwin, Altman, Streissand, the Clintons, Sorkin) should go to the Middle East and live there. As far as I'm concerned, F$$k'em all.

How about a little poll of our own?

Who in the good ol' U.S.A. gives two hoots in hell what the Islamic folks think about us?

Frankly, I don't give a damn what they think about us.

Then, if we are wise, we will end it once and for all.

Clinton sent out that memo, but Monica was the only respondent.

You know, I've yet to see Pearl Harbor and I won't be watching it anytime soon. I'll be damned if I'm going to help support those morons. I was happy to hear that Mel Gibson is a conservative because I like his movies.
