In that case, I would expect you to be holding NON-Muslim hostages. There, now. Does that make you feel better, hmmm? The Benedict Arnold analogy remains, for you have just shown your betrayal of civilization for abject barbarism.
So which is it? Are you a lilywhite Euro who desires to *cleanse* the planet, or a dark skinned Muslim who desires to *cleanse* the planet, each at the cost of someone else's freedom and/or life?

Hostages, Muslims, Benedict Arnold, blah blah blah. And of course "We're Number One." Rah Rah Rah.

Listen dummy. It's the West that has been invading the Islamics backyards for the last couple hundred years, not the other way around.

And as far as we're so smart, we're so great, enjoy it while it lasts, which should be a few years. In less than 50 years we've gone from being the greatest producing country on the face of the world to the greatest consumer and the biggest debtor. You can't go to a store in this country without seeing most of its merchandise from China, Singapore, Mexico, anywhere there's cheap labor to feed the self-indulgent consumers. Once the real estate bubble busts like the NASDAQ did, you're going to see some serious economic difficulties, not this little piddly stuff we've gone through since March. Those high-tech gizmos don't come cheap you know. And we'll be needing lots and lots of them.

Keep guessing. One thing I'm not, is a Middle Eastern tribal who thinks that my war god has told me I'm his favorite boy, and that gives me the right to take anything from anyone I believe will advance my tribe's cause.

How much freedom and how many lives has our erstwhile Middle Eastern 'ally' taken over the last 50 years?
