At least according to Saudi Cleric Nasser bin Suleiman Al-'Omar:

"As for the casualties in Iraq - brothers, America is now in a predicament. You follow the media. America is looking for a way out. Yes, I am aware of the harsh reality. I am aware of what is happening to our Muslim brothers in Iraq, and I'm referring especially to the Sunni Arabs, against whom all have conspired, and who have been deserted by their closest friends.

Nevertheless, according to the statistics, the number of American and allied casualties during the last pilgrimage month - and this figure came from one of the news agencies, and I've checked it with several of Iraq's religious scholars, who confirmed it... There have been more than 40,000 American and Western casualties in three years.

"Do not believe the American reports. According to America it had around 2000 casualties, but in fact, the casualties number 40,000 or more."


The Americans are Dumping Their Casualties in the Tigris and Euphrates, and Iraqi Clerics Have Asked Me for a Fatwa about Eating the Fish

"By Allah, a number of Iraqi religious scholars came to me, and said: 'We have a problem.' What was the problem? They said: There have been so many American casualties that they loaded them on trucks and threw them away in the desert. But because the number of casualties was so high... The Iraqi scholars were asking me for a fatwa. They asked me to issue a fatwa on the following question: 'Because there were so many casualties, the Americans began to throw them into the Tigris and the Euphrates. The fish have eaten from the flesh of the American and have gotten fat. Are we permitted to eat these fish or not?' Yes. This is the truth, brothers.

"If they report about three operations in Iraq - in reality there are no fewer than 60-70 operations every day."

It was weird looking at time magazine's top schools in America and noticing that most red states didn't come close.

Even in S.A.T testing most red states were way below average. Why are red states so dumb?

Is it inbreeding with other family members that degrade red state genes? Jeff Foxworthy said " If your family tree goes in a straight line, you might be a red neck".

Or is the old excuse of rebuilding schools after the cival war the reason for dumb red states?

If you ever listen to Bush he sounds like a crack head. What was it he said "fool me once then sha sha shame on you. Fool me twice ya ya you can't be fooled again".

I do not know how you go away for soooo long at a time. Be careful and come home safe, because we love you.

Because I hear this as the justification, from intelligent Americans, for the US military actions post 9/11. They honestly believe that it was about stamping out those that perpetrated that act of terrorism.
How does this correlate with the fact that:
- 12 of the 14 hijackers were Saudi Arabians
- that US military personnel were already stationed outside of Afghanistan two days before 9/11 and plans were already drawn up for strikes
- that Saddam had nothing to do with it
- that Iraq had nothing to do with it
- that Afghanistan had nothing to do with it

Is the population of the entire Middle East seen now as the perpetrators for 9/11?

With the news on Fidel Castro's health, I wondered a few things: First, how and why did the revolution take place? And second, in a related question, what are the biggest reasons most Cuban Americans (in the United States) despise him?

I could do internet research, but I thought it would be more interesting and insightful to hear any firsthand or personal views.

Thanks for educating me.

The South and Mid-West have the stupidest people. They:
1-have a literal interpretation of the Bible. (A person created from a rib, a great flood, a people living 600 years-it's a fairy tale for children!)
2-Don't believe in evolution. (It's 2006 idiots! I know science hurts your brain and shows you how insignificant you are.)
3-Love to lynch blacks. (It's in the Bible! There's your reason.)
4-Hate gays. (Because they'll make your pathetic marriage break up? Right. It wouldn't be because you're both not love with each other/bored.)
5-Have the highest rates of crime. (Blame it on the blacks, you always do!)
6-Have the highest rates of obesity. (It's your right as an American to overconsume and look like a giant pig.)
7-Are the poorest. (Who needs education? And Republican tax cuts help you so much.)
8-Have the lowest test scores from kindergarden to high-school. (Who needs fancy numbers and letters? We gots the tv!)
10-Got killed in the Civil War and still think they won.

It's a commie business that's pretending to be capitalist.

Why? They deleted my question where I exposed KFC's commieness.

And look at their logo. It's red, just like it's commie chicken partner.

Are we still in the dark ages? Our military teaches our youthful enlistees to HATE their enemies so bad they want to kill them.... Meanwhile guess what the "enemies" are being taught by their commanders? The same HATE!! These are not wars against 'terrorism' these are wars for profit and population control as the military squanders our environment away. How much fuel did we go through in the invasion of Afganistan/ Iraq / whoever is next? How many untold billions for destruction instead of education right here at home?bring our troops/ fuel /dollars back home to gaurd our borders from invasion! Let the rest of the world do as it must!!!

I've noticed that a lot of people complain abotu today's teens being lazy and wanting everything handed to them. Why don't these teens have work ethics? Well, I came to the conclusion that the jobs that used to be filled by teens are being taken over by illegals. Fast food workers, manual labor, agriculture, construction, housekeeping, horticulture, etc. I myself work in a factory. My uncle owns a construction company and hires teens. Does anyone else see this?
