Actaully Sistani over there over the cartoons said he didnt like them but it was wrong to resort to violence in protest.

Fox is reporting the dome was actually only built in 1905. Is it the outlying buildings that date back 1400 years?

No ideas, but to them the whole thing is that old. Probably not to many of them alive that worked on that dome in 1905.

No...I don't understand what this destruction means to the IRAQIS.

And furthermore, I don't care.

Killing and burning and rioting over freaking cartoons tells me all I need to know about Islam.

9/11 and Beslan showed me long ago.

Had someone from Leningrad blown up the Kremlin during the cold war, I'd have shed no tears then either. Enemies are enemies.

My goodness not much over 140 years Christianity was all for Slavery and genocide of the poor Indians here in America. Lets not jump to a bunch of silly conclusions on the actions of a minority

When, not if, the Vatican is blown up by TROP, I don't think anyone will lift a finger in response.

He's an atheist and a foolish one at that. You'd might as well try to explain this to a bail of hay.

The IRaqis are not our enemies. For all these folks that want to engage on a war on Islam please tell me your battleplan. Shall we nuke the entire region. Radiations poisioning to kill the rest of "them" off. Or shall we do it the old fashion way and get the draft back and draft everyone the age of 50.

No kidding, apparently there's this glorious noble cause that I'm somehow missing. Apparently I'm completely blind..

I realize that there's nation building and supposed spreading of freedom and so on. I'd like him to explain what exactly I'm missing.

Given your posts so far, I don't much care what you "think."

Great. You can dress them up, but you can't take them to the dance.

Speaks well of what they think of the sacrifice of our finest to bring them freedom from a monster. So now they feed upon each other...

I guess some folks have forgotten about these and the people who were inside!


I could care less if the religion of peace blew up every single mosque over there.

Survival of the western world. We have to deal enough damage that they drop the threat, same as we had to do to Japan.
