Funny how you resort to personal attacks to get your point across. If I have to think like a "despicable terrorist" in order protect the people of my country I will.

Humans have empathy, they have the innate ability to feel for one another. One innately knows that killing is wrong, and most people will kill only if absolutely necessary to survive. That killing others is wrong, and that good people do it only when there is no alternative: understanding that is part of being human. The ability to feel empathy for one another is an important trait, and one of the traits that gives humans an evoluntionary advantage over other species.
Only one who has departed so far from humanity would make such a statement, much less carry out the deed of the killing people because of where in the world they happen to be at that moment. These people live in a society that is devoid of many things we take for granted, where women do not openly exist, where love and the expression thereof is forbidden, where speaking out is not allowed, where self-introspection is rare, and where people are killed over beliefs and where in the world they happen to stand. Certainly, such a statement coming from a member of the wahabi sect is quite predictable. |

i think instead of attacking other countries and stealing oil, every 1 should start preparing for when we run out of oil, making wind generators and stuff, this will take a lot of time and money, thats y it would be useful to start now, start inforcing all the other posibilities of oil.
i mean c'mon, u learn not to steal from others in kindergarter were just delaying the time up until the point were all screwed and gas will cost 30$ per liter to fill ur car. maybe if hydrogen or w.e cars were inforced, more ppl would walk also instead of buying the car, and maybe less than half the states would be over weight. this way senseless battles over oil can be avoided in the future and no 1 will have to panic when the public finds out theres no more oil and ull have to walk to work...thats right walking, it envolves not being lazy, either u prepare now or every 1 will have to stop being lazy for when the time comes where we gotta walk everywhere |

That's not how we're goin to solve terorrism, if we continue to act like terrorist themselves, then no problem can be solved. We can't show the world that we are for peace, when we go and bomb another country without any real reason too. Violence only brings more violences. All of you who support the war I challenge you to enlist, then you will see the true horror of what we are doin over there. This War in Iraq was a sham set up so Bush and his oil buddy can make $$$, it was not intended to help the American ppl like they said. There are no WMD, and there was no threat. And if you're excuse is Humanitarian then we have to overthrow a dozen more dictator to satify me. |

"Clean air act" - Exactly the opposite, on the whole it allows power plants to pollute more than they do at current. "USA patriot act" - Not much to do with the USA, nothing to do with patriotism. "war on terror" - If he'd stopped at afghanistan, an obvious case of a state sponsoring terrorism, the name would be justified... post-iraq it's just the latest excuse for agressive action. Just a common deceiver with his own agenda, that's all. |

Us like terrorists far from it. Do we go and strap bombs on ourselves and blow up innocent civilians or chop off heads on videotape, nope. I think were actually too soft on terrorist. I support the war and I did try to enlist in the service after I graduated from high school but I was turned away because of a few medical problems. Oil, oil, oil, oil why does everyone think OIL is the only thing we invaded Iraq for. Do you actually think our president would risk the lives of American citizens just for oil? Remember without war there is no peace. Sad but true.

Most of them don't even know what's exactly happening in Iraq and that there was no weapon of mass destruction ! Sad but true.

Can someone explain to me this whole "Blood for oil conspiracy"? I assume it refers to US corporations somehow gaining from the occupation of Iraq. As we all know, only the Right Wing is affiliated with big corportations. Edit, Ok, after a little bit of searching, I came up with this "For the reconstruction [of Iraq], contracts were awarded to private companies. Initially companies from countries that had opposed the war were excluded from these contracts, but due to protests this decision was reversed. It has been alleged that some companies were favoured because they had connections to high-ranking members of the Bush administration, like Halliburton. This suspicion had already been a concern during the global protests against the war on Iraq. An audit found that Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR), may have overcharged the U.S. government $61 million (on contracts worth billions) for bringing oil products for the U.S. army into Iraq via a Kuwaiti subcontractor, Altanmia Commercial Marketing Co." Courtesy of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Iraq under "reconstruction". I still don't see how this directly relates to US gain from the invasion of Iraq. It seens a bit far fetched and makes NO logical sense to say we invaded a country just so a few select companies could gain oil contracts. Last edited by TheLaughingMan; 2004-11-17 at 15:45. |

As for Osama....I've begun to question whether he is in fact still alive. If he is, it must be hard to drag dialysis equipment through the mountains. And it's unlikely for him to be doing this to get to heaven. You have to be a martyr...which means you have to be KIA'd...he's just sitting in a cave peeing in plastic baggies. My guess for why: $$$$$...or maybe he's sniffed glue a little too often. |

"With war this is no peace". 'truisms' like this cannot alone justify violence. War and peace are extremes, but peace is cleary better than war. While war can, in theory, bring about peace, it's often not the case. Look no farther than iraq, the end of one war (invasion) was simply the beginning of another (occupation and insurgency). The end of one war lead to the beginning of an even worse war. Most anyone who has been on the front lines will tell you 'war eternal' (ie. the type of war envisioned in the book "1984") is a horrible thing. Last edited by Access; 2004-11-17 at 15:35. |
