Current Events - August 2006

I just read that the US and France have agreed on how to end the hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. I know the news today leaves a lot out of their reporting--but-- Isn't the fight between Israel and Hezbollah. What does it matter if the US and France agree on a deal? They aren't even in the fight are they? If Israel and Hezbollah don't agree with the deal will anything change?

Oliver Stone's new film about the World Trade Center carries the tag line:
"It was the defining moment of our generation."

What should we take that to mean? Is he correct?
Which generation is he talking about, and what was the definition that the World Trade Center attack provided?

Which was the actual definition: the attack, or the response?

Perhaps they will see that we better be concerned about
terrorists, or this Nation may not enjoy life as we've always
known it here, if they are successful in bringing terrorism here.
Thank you George Bush for being brave enough to wage war
against terrorists - here, Iraq, or wherever their attacks concern
US.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060810/us_nm/security_usa_muslims_dc
Muslim groups criticized President Bush on Thursday for calling a foiled plot to blow up airplanes part of a "war with Islamic fascists," saying the term could inflame anti-Muslim tensions.
"We urge him (Bush) and we urge other public officials to restrain themselves."
Where is the call for the "terrorists" to restrain themselves?
and how is it that calling them "Islamic fascists" more likely to "inflame anti-Muslim tensions" than the actual terrorist attacks?

against "Bad" Muslims??

Non-muslims aren't giving muslims a bad name, muslims are giving muslims a bad name! Islamists, this is NOT anyone elses war, its yours! Quit demanding your innocence, and start demanding tolorance! Every human on this earth has the right to their own personal beliefs. It is our job to understand others and deal with it, regardless of what we believe. These muslims who preach that Islam is a religion of peace, need to unite and confront the radical fascists that are spitting on your faith!

Or, who thinks WW3 started in 1979 Iran? With the kidnapping of Americans. And continued with Beirut Marine barracks bombings, Munich Olympic killings, USS Cole attack, 9/11, Spain train bombings, British train bombing, ect.

With all the terrorist plots going on in the world right now, like the one in the UK, would it not be better to come up with some forms of punishment that might make these people think twice about joining a group? They (and many of their families) see it as an honour to die for the cause. Fine. Go ahead, but if you do so, your ENTIRE family will be deported to your ancestral place of origin. For instance, the British-Pakistani's caught in the latest plot: send their entire families to Pakistan. No exceptions. Unfair you may say, but this is survival. They care about no one except their own family, so hit them where it hurts. I will probably get many irate replies to this one, but it is just thinking.
