"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.",

There are always people on the fringe who think we deserved it for one reason or another

In a book called Reagans War, the author went around the world to find out why other nations hate America.
Most knew America through the liberal press and Hollywood. That's all they know about us. That's all they've ever seen. They have no idea that 1/2 of the country is NOT liberal, because the liberal press has controled the airways forever.
Only now is the rights message getting out across America. Hopefully, it will get out into the world. Only when this liberalism is defeated will there be world piece. Maybe not "we" are to blame, but the facist left really is.
Remember, those who are attacking the US grew up under Clintonism - who deployed troops around the world 40 times in 8 years.
Then there's the forced thought police legislation. Obey Clintons rules, or the nations funding ends. They had no choice, and Clintonia was the world they were forced to obey. It's a no wonder they hate America if this is all they know of us.

Can you post some links, please?

And I suppose, Saddam, holding a hot iron to a child is God's will too?

I guess so, if the child stubbornly questions the existence of Allah!

Well, I see no alternative but to put you in the same category as the Iraqis. According to both of you, God killed the shuttle crew for our sins.

What a sick, twisted way of looking at God.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

I'm MAD AS HELL that Iraq could think & say this kind pure hate !!!!!!!

Now that Iraq said this, I believe it'll SEAL THEIR FATE in the World view.

Do you think so...???

Who was the worthless POS?

And the remarks didn't end there, unfortunately... it got worse...

As I said, not in this incident, but in the area of His protection, I think we are not protected by Him as we were before blessing abortion in this country.

So prior to Roe v. Wade, nothing bad happened to America, I guess. Is that what you're saying? (I will give you credit for not believing there is a relationship between abortion and this incident today.)

[Poohbah]

What, we had a whole frickin' Klavern meeting?

[NewYorker]

Actually, Saddam probably ordered them to say those things.

I'd like to think you're right about that.

[Green]

This should not surprise anyone. What would be a surprise is if they showed any sympathy.

God has always protected our nation which had it's laws reflect mostly the Ten Commandments.
We, with abortion long ago broke "Thou shall not kill the innocent" in a big way.

Would you expect a nation who has that going on by law to enjoy complete immunity from correction?

We have not been a God fearing country as a whole for a while.
That was my point, not anything to do with the disaster here or your faithfull reading of the Taliban text.

The sand people of the moon-god though are in a whole class of evil of their own, beyond what we do with abortion, but we are no prize in the eyes of God IMO due to all the abortions in America.

OH if only the explosion was faked to take attention off of the massive bombing of iraq...

[BlazingArizona]

I wonder how the Hollywood crowd and the Democrats will feel about this.

The "human shields" among them were probably there when this statement was made. Time to make them human targets.
