Terror is an emotion, not a physical enemy.

Terrorism is a tactic, typically used by combatants who are weak in weapons.

Is it sanity to declare "war" on an emotion or a tactic? Or is it just abuse of language to blunt critical thought, as in Orwell's "1984"?

Why haven't the powers that be mentioned that the kid was a Muslim refugee from Bosnia? Why didn't they mention that the kid lived near a Mosque and attended faithfully? Why didn't they mention that the guy who shot up the Jewish women's center last summer was a peace-loving Muslim, Or the guy who drove his car into a crowded area in NC last year was a devout Muslim doing it all for Allah?
Why is the media afraid to mention these facts in their reports. On this day of Love, Why is it all that is reported is 'hate America talk' and dead hooker-like blondes?

Happy Valentines Day from the Truth!

Mortgage, Car Payments, Credit Cards, Keeping up With the Jones' constant evaluation of brand names has all this led the American consumer to bite more than she could chew? The average citizen is three months of unemployment away from bankruptcy with a negative savings rate? Can they truly afford to protest or miss a day at work?

It is very rare that the photo on the left side of the article will display. Most of the time it will just flash, then disappear. Does anybody know why this happens and how to fix it? Thanks!

Why not, after the millions coming across the border. Hopefully they'll all get on free services and free money. Give it all away, just make Americans pay their taxes. What a country......

BNP member Robert Cottage has been charged with stockpiling explosives for making bombs in the UK and he is a white, British man. There are also links to other white, British men who share his views.

Does this mean that we should suspect all white, British men?

Should his community of other white, British men speak out against him else be accused of also being a terrorist?

Should any other white, British men who agree with him but have done nothing wrong be subjected to house arrest and to held for 28 days without trial to protect us?

Should we, if he is convicted, throw him out of the country because if he doesn't like our laws, then he should leave?

Should other innocent white, British men not deserve an appology if they are shot by accident by police if they are bursting into their homes and later released without charge?

I am also a white, British man, but am tired of the increasing less subtle racism I read on Yahoo Answers, and no doubt answered below.

I think the worst thing that has happen is the mergering of companies on a global scale, and in my opinion is no different then a monopoly that needs to stop. The US economy is not at the whim for foreign interest. This needs to stop.

(1) No discriminatiom should be done among any castes or religion because the persons who are discriminated become terrorists.
(2) Training institutes which give training to terrorists should be find out and should be suspended.
(3) Mutual faith and feeling of brotherhood should be created among people.
(4) A special squad of millitary should be created to eradicae terrorism.
(5) Every citizen should keep in mind that communal elements use them for their own interest so citizens should not come in their influence and become a terrorist.
(6) Attempts should be made in educational and social fields to wipe the communal feelings among youth and to develop the scientific approach.
(7) As terrorisn is motivated politicaly so any political party having communal base should not be given recognition.
(8) Teroris to violence to create psychologicalpressure to fulfill their demands but citizens shold nt low down
or compromise with their demands.They should take the help of millitary.

I can't understand the world today when adults find it in their heart to mame a small child, wreck her body and then strangle her.
At 2 yrs of age.

My purpose of this question is to see what people think of the fact that this baby was on the 'at risk' register - she and her 3 yr old brother where know to socail services - their parents were using drugs, were involved in violence and had already been talked to about neglecting the children -

Why the hell where these kids still in their care?

Social services should also be held accountable as well as the dirty uncle - what do you think?

Or will they just say 'oh lessons have been learnt' AGAIN.....

Let me figure this out....
The Republicans attacked Iraq because they really care about the Iraqi people. It is love. Just pure, righeous, Christian caring.
No that's not it.

The love America and were really concerned about their safety. That goes against Katrina, veterans benefits cuts, not paying the sign on bonuses to disabled soldiers, making Cher by the helmuts, cutting education, oh and by the way making Condi; who used to be quite beautiful, look like Seal in a wig. What are they doing to that poor woman?

Anyway, I can't think of a real and honest answer as to why went to Iraq?

Am I hearing this right?
There is a perfectly reasonable argument that the Clinton/Bush administrations could have done more to prevent 9/11 and even that Richard Clarke (see below) provided enough information to support this.
But a conspiracy? That suggests the Bush admin' were somehow involved, I can't believe that.
What do you think? But, back your answers up with good theory or logic..........or even proof!
