Call me a tin-foil hatter if you wish, but unless you can come up with some sort of refutation of the author's work, I think we're all in big trouble in the near future.
Nowhere is there an explanation for rage by people who are not affected by a given problem. In any case, there is always room for addressing problems without slaughtering innocents. What demon can possess people to literally slaughter Pearl like a sheep?
There is a religion that thrives on rage. It is seething with plots and betrayals. It seethes with suspicion, envy, jealousy, and hatred. Islam is a curse for all those who are not Islamic.
Whatever the US is alleged to have done or not done pales before the crimes of the rest of the world.
Thanks.
I didn't read your garbage report, but consider this.
Since the beginning of time men and nations have tried to conquer the world. Do you think they were doing so to establish 200 world governments or just one government if they succeeded? And if the world had only one government would that be a one world government?
People have been trying to establish a one world government since time began.. From the Greeks to the Romans to Hitler and Stalin. When the sun never set on the British empire and they were still adding colonies what do you think the British were trying to establish? And you think one world government is an idea of just the last 50 years.
You need to get a screw driver. You got a loose one.
I've heard this line many times since 9/11. It was not a few days afterward that the Bush Administration gave a clear definition of who we were at war with, transnational terrorists that threaten the United States. Commentators who ask this question disqualify themselves from being taken seriously. They are essentially trying to convince the world that 1 + 1 = 3. Of course, next they must make up a reason for the war, and try to convince others.
The author's view on the question of why many Middle East Arabs hatred of the US is way off the mark. This comes from trying to interpret the opinion of the Arab "man on the street" as though they were living in a society that has the same freedoms of the press we enjoy in the West. Many commentators make the same mistake.
For a better view of what is going on, for those few of you who have not quite got it yet, read: Operation Infinite Justice, The Big Picture
“To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists – for they erode our national unity and diminish our (government's) resolve. They give ammunition to America’s enemies.”
One has to wonder, who are the American government's enemies in the eyes of John Ashcroft???I get the impression from that statement that it's anyone who is pro-constitution and pro-liberty...
