Perps and terrorist supporters cheering the deaths of Americans as they did during 911
The US State Dept, EU, and UN will bend over backwards to give these terrorists
more money, more weapons, more time to get WMD, and more opporunity to
kill more Americans and cheer about it. WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!!
You seem to be conveniently ignoring the fact that the US is also now a "war zone". No doubt you believe that the people killed in the Los Angeles airport deserved it for having exercised their choice to go to an airport, when everybody with an ounce of common sense knows that airports are prime targets for terrorists. Ditto for high-rise buildings, national monuments, shopping malls, restaurants, trains, buses, universities, etc. etc. So, when are you moving to your bunker?
To not travel where terrorists target, is to give in to the terrorists and to embolden the terrorists to repeat their success on other targets. In that sense it is perfectly reasonable to not give in to terrorists for the greater good of everybody. however, you -- in your self interest -- think it reasonable to cower in the corner.
If you go in harms way and harm comes to you, then you must be responsible for your actions and the ugly result. The world is a generally desperate and dangerous place.
So then these seven people who have been murdered are responsible for the ugly result -- their murder.
Okay i'm going to force myself not to make this a personal insult, but perhaps you should listen to the age old saying:
'Sometimes it is better not to say anything and appear to be a fool, then open your mouth a remove any doubt.'
America supports Israel, yes. HOWEVER, don't be a hypocrite and deny that there are two standards, even in noble America, for terrorist murderers of Americans, and terrorist murders of American Jews abroad.
Palestinian terrorists are not on the State Department list of terrorists (who killed Americans) whose capture has a reward. State Department approved adding them in December, removed it in March. The United States DOES NOT ACTIVELY PURSUE the killers of Americans murdered in Israel. PERIOD.
Secondly, America and Israel are friends because they ARE ONE AND THE SAME. Democracy, freedom, western values.
Yes, America has helped Israel, but NO AMERICAN ALLY IN THE WORLD HAS HELPED AMERICA AS MUCH AS ISRAEL.
A little reminder for you:
1. All this talk about Saddam getting nukes. Don't forget he would have had HUNDREDS by now if Israel hadn't bombed his reactor in 1981 (despite American objections). How do you think the Gulf War would have turned out if that hadn't been done?
2. Where do you think America gets most of its real humanint on terrorists from? Guess what, it aint from the CIA. And do the Israel's get credit? No, we can't even mention them as allies in the war on terror.
3. The Israeli army would pitch in TROOPS to fight SADDAM if asked. How many of our allies would do the same without objection?
The list goes on an on (technological/military/scientific cooperation, etc...)
It is a relationship that helps both nations, IN ADDITION to being the moral and ideologically correct thing to do. (that stuff used to count remember?)
But don't tell me for a second that America doesn't have double standards towards murdered Jews, except when there is a lot of PR around it like Perl.
And guess what buddy, Israel is the only thing that stands between AMERICA and FUNDEMENTAL ISLAM, by absorbing 90% of attacks. If Israel 'goes away', the suicide bombers will be bording American buses.
And you know what we'll do then. Bomb the sh%t out of them, kill 100 times more civilians, not apologize for a second, and give the finger to critics. To bad we don't support Israel in doing the same.
Israel is the fortress of the West against Fundemental Islam.
For heavens sake, don't send them to NYU! Because New York City is a war zone. I hate to break through all that haze over where you live, but Jihad has been declared and followed through on America. Jihad means war. As in America is a War Zone.
If you want to not live in a war zone, tell me, where you going to move? Because Jihad has been declared on 18 other countries, all around the globe. I suggest you start getting my point. If the WTC will not wake up America that all is not the same, what is it going to take.
Let me bet, you went to Wal-Mart yesterday to get something to decorate your house... Uh, people, when are we going to get serious about life and stop building castles in the sand?
Source?
Well, I work for the INS, more explicitly, I work for the Border Patrol. I know this isn't exactly a source, and I'm not trying to criticize your numbers. My point is, that we can end illegal immigration with the man power we have. I'm just one man and I can shut down one to five miles of border by myself depending on the terrain. The fact is, we have INS/Border Patrol Agents doing hooky roo assignments like reading to elementary school students instead of catching illegals. There are three primary reasons why our border are a mess. Politics, political correctness and apathy. Some people want to put the military on the border, but without the cajones to enforce immigration laws in the first place it's all for naught. We have everything we need to control the borders in place already. We just need the guts.
No one can take a dead man's rights away from him. I bet you would walk into the path of an oncoming car that obviously had no intention of stopping to exercise your "right of way."
