You have just learned that Aum Shinrikyo has offices in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, and that members from each of those locations met recently, in Arkansas. What, if anything, should you be concerned with? What should law enforcement in these areas be concerned with?

Really I have been paying attention but still, by the looks of yahoo answers, me and most people are not totally clear about the outcome terrorists are striving for. Have they put out a mission statement? Is the whole terrorism strategy getting the desired outcome? If terrorists were out to cause suffering for all Muslim people I think their strategy worked.

Here’s my premise:
Following the tragedy of September 11, 2001, the immediate objective of the United States of America was to seek out and capture Osama bin Ladin and the terrorist Taliban organization.

Somewhere along the way, it was decided that Iraq was the real threat to world peace.
While events in Iraq certainly are not very promising, the focus of my question is on Afghanistan, not Iraq.

Since 2001, the Taliban has re-emerged in Afghanistan.
Opium fields (and its by-product, heroin) have blossomed (now supplying the world with 80% of the drug).
Afghan soldiers trained are only 25% of what is needed.
Afghans are still a tribal nation, unable to unite in a democratic sense.
And U.S. and allied troops remain there in a fraction of the numbers needed while most of the money and manpower are funneled to Iraq.

And still: no Osama, no peace, and no end to terrorism.

Current war-on-terror statistics (for both Afghanistan and Iraq):
3,100 - number of U.S. Troops who have died since 2001.

$340,387,926,314 - cost of the invasion (and rising every minute)

My question:
Please explain why you believe U.S. efforts in Afghanistan is worth the effort?

Was thinking, wouldn't it be cool to have a Newspaper which only print happy stories, like all the good things that has happened to people, enjoyable stories, could have a sports section as well...

If I had the money I'd do something like this, I'm not sure if there is such a paper, but yeah I'd like to read a paper like that first thing in the morning to feel happy...

who is down 36 points below the democrat in the polls still wins, will people do anything or just roll over and give up democracy?

It will be a nightmare if he wins when the other guy is ahead 36 points according to our republican paper a day ago--such a lead is almost unheard of..but I have this feeling he'll still get in--payback you know? Will he win? Will anyone rebell if he does? What could we do?

On p. 17, 3-10 Nov. eddition of the he SA Jewish Report, it is reported that Brazilian congressman Clodovil Hernandez said that Jews manipulate the Holocaust story. thet was followed by one accusing him of being... "antisemitic". Here are some facts:
Philip cohen, an American Jewish dentist who decided to become a "historian" falsely accused Serbs of "collaborating with the Nazis" after "and even before" the latter occupied Yugoslavia, and also suggested that "only tens of thousands" were butchered in the Jasenovac death camp (the real number-almost a million). During the NATO Jihad in 1999, there was some kind of demonstrations in Israel, with the aim of collecting money for refugees from Kosovo. One Israeli newspaper shows a picture of one holding a sign suggesting: "Kosovo=we, 60 years ago". The Stern Gang in today's Israel tried to negotiate with the Nazis on cooperation. Uri Avneri, Amotz Kainan & Moshe Arens are former SG members, who praised NATO, comparing Serbs to "Nazis".

It's funny, so many people biotch about America "stealing" oil from Iraq. How many days would they ride a horse before complaining "Why don't we just take their oil?"

"Why doesn't Bush do something?"

If Saddam's appeal fails and he will be hung... what would happen if the hanging doesn't kill him? Do they try again? Are they allowed to attempt to hang him again?

This self-confessed al Qaida would-be terrorist would have happily used nuclear force to bring great misery, death and mutilation to thousands of lives. What punishment does he deserve?
