When I joined the military I had to take the following oath.....:
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

and according to wikipedia:
Most definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are: intended to create fear or "terror,"

and based on the oath of the military shouldn't we be Having the United States Marines wipe there little ars-holes out?

My GOD, what the hell is wrong with these people (the sunni and shiite extremists)? I just watched Anderson Cooper do an interview and it's amazing. 30 to 50 bodies are found EVERY morning, tortured, maimed, absolultely brutalized, and for what? Could you imagine if Republicans and Democrats had used kidnapping and bombings to try and get power last election? Do these people realize that they are SCREWING IRAQ OVER? Whether the war was moral or not is beside the point. The violence that is taking place now is not under ANY circumstance justified by the actions of the US and it's allies.

Do you agree with me? What do you think?

I'm sick of hearing about car bombs and dead bodies every day, the Iraqi people have to wake up and join the civilized world or we might as well just give up because the terrorists will overrun that country.

First let me make clear that the majority muslims are decent law abiding people and it is just unfortunate that they are linked to murderous terrorist scum.

99% of muslims are not terrorists, but how many support this islam terrrorism. They may not have the connections or the determination to partipicate in terrorist behaviour, but they can still support , condone or encourage it.

In the Guardian article “What young British Muslims say can be shocking - some of it is also true” cites a poll that found
that nearly a third of young Muslims thought the 7/7 London Bombings were 'justified' due the Britain's support on the war on terror

From a personal standpoint, the only reason i ask is , because my friend who is of the muslim faith and has said things that has condoned terrorist behaviour.
Once we're walking past a CO-OP and she just randomly said "I would love to leave a bomb outside there' In actual reality she wouldnt hurt a fly.

What you think???

I truely believe that the world as we know it could be facing major disaster in the next few hundred years. With the way the ice is melting and with the way the weather is changing, it is only a matter of time before we really finish this place off. I don't know about anyone else in this forum, but i personally believe that as unstable as the world is becoming, we need to focus less on war and more on preserving our planet. The way of the world should not be "us vs. them", it should read more like "working together as a people, for all people". Although we all share different race and different culture, we all share this, planet Earth. If we want this planet to be around for awhile, i suggest we stop worrying about wasting billions on war and politics, and start wasting billions on staying alive. Stop war, stop racism, stop polluting this great planet. We should be ashamed at what we have done. All people need to come together, and we ALL need to do our part to fix this mess!!!

Before you jump to conclusions hear me out. I was sent to a paralegal course a few years ago and it was 4 blocks away from the WTC. It started out decent as far as weather goes...but between the time I got into the building for my courses and the time I got out between 5pm and 9:30pm it started raining cats and dogs. I always went to the WTC to hang out with a friend of mine who managed one of the coffee houses in the mall area.

I got on the train to go home in Brooklyn around 10-ish. I got back around 11 and it stopped raining.

A few days ago I'm reading the Daily News. Michael Jackson was rejected by Las Vegas to play a string of shows...now he's trying to take his act overseas.

What does this have to do with anything?...remembering everything I just stated, Michael Jackson hasn't performed in a few years...his last performance was on September 10...2001.

Hopefully he'll never perform in America again.

I just wonder what true journalists and writers for newspapers, magazines, etc think of people who write trashy articles for tabloids and hunt down celebrities to take pictures? Do you consider them colleagues in your field? Or do you consider them scum, not even worthy to be called journalists?

The biggest news today was about the shutdown of Boston, one of our major cites, due to an advertising attempt by two guys who look like stoners promoting a cartoon about a talking milkshake, a box of fries and a meatball, for chrissake!

How many events can you list in the last 6 years that have harmed our international standing?
