LOL!! What condescending crap. Not a valid argument yet I see

Yep, I think this will last a generation but maybe not. This "vital time" refers to a state of war and a state of maybe siege as there are forces about who wish to kill us, fly our planes into big buildings, bomb people around the globe

Well considering that this 'threat' will be there twenty years from now just as today, I take it you consider the next twenty five years to be 'vital'. So we're not going to be able to criticize the national government for the next twenty years? Unless a Democrat is in office? That it?

I am beginning to think of Islamo fascist addicted to bombing. I have yet to see anything they do that is helpful. Even the fascists in Italy ran the trains on time. Even the fascists in spain sort of kept a clean country. Even the Singapore government doesn't allow smoking and depositing butts on the street.

And so now we compare evils. Evil is evil, plain and simple. Mind you this has nothing to do with your argument and doesn't support your position but I enjoy to see where the political views of someone that is going to rant about nothing in general comes from.

So it is vital now that we eliminate them and if it takes a generation to do so, well so be it. The world will be better. And all the rest is white noise and fear.

Ah, genocide, the cry of those in the 'right'. Get rid of them all!! Forget trying to actually carry on a conversation. I'm sure the Bible said to destroy your adversary instead of agreeing with them... (Mind you I think they're a bit on the kook side as well, but I'm not advocating complete destruction of an entire civilization)

We would all just like to read our paper, drink our Lattes, visit our children and friends, have dates, play tennis, go fishing, etc. But it just won't be that way for a while.

May not for you, but it will for me. I like fishing. And your statement doesn't agree with the President and AG Ashcroft. They 'told' us to go about our lives. Or were they not talking about fishing?

And carping and referring to the President is such a derisive way, "The great W", wont really strengthen us for what may come

Word of note to cajungirl. He's a politician. It doesn't matter what party, he's still a politician. Granted he may be more moral than Clinton, but at the rate the money's being spent tied in with the foreign policy, I can't call him conservative. At least not in the truest sense

But my dear young man, you need to grow up and not be so scared of the future. We will all face it together, some at more risk than us.

I'm not scared. I don't think Allah Akhbar is coming to get me, and if I am attacked I will more than happily defend myself. Mind you, my choice of weapons is slowly being taken away from me considering the President plans to joyfully sign the AWB, but I'll still defend myself.

I realize this is an old article and an old post but I have to be concerned with your comment about how Muslims are "Kooky" but you don't believe that we should wipe out the whole civilization.

Why not? Have you ever read the Koran? Obviously not! When all of this began four years ago I felt compelled to learn of the Muslim culture and the teachings of their religion so I picked up a copy and did a lot of research about what they teach in their schools. Well you obviously do not know that they want to wipe out our whole civilization just because we are not Muslim. That is their goal! First it is to be the Saturday people (the Jews!) then the Sunday people (the Christians/Catholics!). It's called the Holy War! So I ask you Billbear why do you want to keep them alive and feel pity for them? They have none for us and they frankly want you dead and everyone else around you. They ingrain into their children's minds from birth to hate the USA with limericks and songs. So while we're teaching our children that Mary had a Little Lamb they're teaching their children how to blow us up. So please I implore you to not be so naive and to not cast one ounce of feeling towards them, they have none for you or anyone else in this country.

But you of course do not have to believe me. I'm a mere Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. I only defend those who are Court Marshalled for not following orders, etc. I was only brought to this site trying to find more defense for a debate that I've been having with my friend who is so far to the left he's about to fall off of the line. He, of course, never heard of these thoughts on the Bekaa Valley and will never believe me because I don't get my evidence from the New York Times or the ABC News. Why would I? They're so far to the left they already fell off of the line! Fair and Comprehensive journalism, I think not!
