arete: I've got something you might like, an exercise in political speech.

Please go to work on Monday, and when you're sitting in the meeting with all your coworkers, stand up and do a "Joe Peshi" with an aluminum bat on the guy sitting next you, and as you stand over his body with blood splatters on your shirt say "Now that I've got your attention, I'd like to share my political views with you"

Report back to this thread tomorrow night on your findings, as I'm sure the rest of the thread will look forward to your exploration of the philosophy that terrorism is an acceptable form of political speech.

Your arguments and examples are now becoming almost preadolescent. You like to wallow in the simplistic "they hate us". One man's terorist is another's freedom fighter. The more we find it necessary to meddle in ME affairs to loot their oil, the more we should expect them to fight back. I find it surprising that anyone would think that the Muslim world would just welcome us given our history.
