We are going to need to "rearrange" the entire "arab street" for the next ten to twenty years... Saudi Arabia included.

That sounds ominous. So what your saying is anything good for America is good for the world? We decide who gets to do what, where they do it, and how they do it? And anyone who doesn't listen to us gets hit with our big stick? That isn't the kind of America I will feel proud to live in but I do agree it is probably what will happen.

It can't be good for America if it's bad for everyone else.
But it might be bad for some folks.

Such are the geo-political, global consequences that result from attacking the mightiest economic and military super-power to have ever existed on this planet.

We were the sleeping giant. Those who don't like their little peasant countries getting kicked around should remember that fact in the future and think "Perhaps it's best not to wake up the Americans again."

I give you Japan and Germany from 1941-1945 as examples. They'll never attack us again, and it wasn't because we "made nice" with them.

Sometimes, the unpleasant use of force is the only language that get's the point across: Don't mess with America.

I'm getting tired of hearing this mantra of the coward.
Nothing can move you to go beyond "naughty" "naughty"?
Had we ignored PC and wiped out the Taliban on genral principle we might have spared ourselves the World Trade Center Muslim Mass Murder1.

We get to protect our citizens, most of the terrorist who flew the planes into the Pentagon, WTC and the field in PA were Saudi's. Al Qeada's financing comes primarily from Saudi Arabia, They finance the madras's in Pakistan which deployed forces against the US in Afganistan, they also fund Mosque's in the US and around the world that promote the Wahhibi sect of Islan which promotes the most virulent form of Anti Americanism. Their Imam's have declared us the enemy and prayed for our destruction. <P. This is self defense.

Then go on and sublet a Third-World country along with those other noted "paragons of patriotism", Michael Moore and Alec Baldwin.

The way I see it we are doing them a favor. They want to die martyrs, we do not. So we blow them to bits before they do themselves. They are martyred and its nice and quiet in the ‘hood.

Death to terrorists!

Praise coke cola!

CBU is great!

Ummmm....That sums it up pretty good. The United States is the only world super-power and thus the country in a "adult" role in a world full of squabbling dictators, backwards dungheaps, and effeminate leftist losers. What is good for America is good for the world because the American way works better than anything else in this world.

That isn't the kind of America I will be proud to live in... Well, there is China, and Europe of course, where many hollywooders have threatened to move to but have not done so. I wonder why.

"BIMBO!!--as the Guy in the "Number Five is Alive!" Movie exclaimed!

The "ISLAMIC Sociopaths" will order MASS, MINDLESS, SUICIDAL attacks on ANY ENTITY or GOVERNMENT hesitant to foment their Islamic Agenda!

Until WE find & UTTERLY ERADICATE these Psychotic Sociopaths, ALL of "Western Civilization" is at risk!

The "Appeasers & Trimmers" of the "Traditional Islamic Cultures" are WAY "OVER THEIR HEADS" in this conflict.

The "Bad Guys" in our current conflict ignore traditional "Rules of Engagement" honored by BOTH "ISLAM," & "WESTERN RULES of WAR!!"

We are "Dealing With" a 21st Century version of the "Barbary Pirates!"

Our "World" MUST RECOGNIZE that our "Common Foe" is an UTTERLY MERCENARY & UTTERLY CYNICAL cabal of "Profit-Driven" Criminals!---The "Religious Beliefs" of Their "Putative Fellow 'Believers'" are merely a TOOL to Guarantee Profits!!

We are--once again--facing a Financial "Power Grab!!" I GUARANTEE our "adversaries" are LARGELY IGNORANT of the precepts of the "Religion" they claim to be Defending!
