Why not just move to North Korea where torture, lies, secrecy, and daily killing is ok , and one man holds all the power.

If he really were a terrorist like the misguided knuckledraggers keep asserting, then the ACLU would be going to court daily to make sure he is treated fairly and that none of his civil liberties have the impression of being infringed upon. The dems would support him for once. Kind of sad. The party of weakness and terror enablers.

Just stop and listen to him and substitute the word "ME" everytime he speaks of "terrorists", "religious idealogs", or "people who hate freedom" you will be absolutly astonished.....the normal babble he blubbers all of a sudden has a sense of meaning......I look forward to watching him speak now.........it gives me an idea of where he's at in his apocopalyptic mission from God

Most of our problems with the Muslim world stem from our own greed. In 1953 Iran wanted to nationalize the oil industry but the Brits had a company there called the Anglo Iranian oil co. that had interests in the oil. They were offered money for their interests but turned it down. Truman did not interfere but when Eisenhower got in they were able to convince him that Iran was in danger of allying with the Russians so with the aid of British and American intelligence they brought the shah to full power. The shah eventually became a brutal dictator but the people revolted and replaced him. This also led to the invasion by students of our embassy there. My point in telling you this is that in many ways we are responsible for the hate against us.
Reagan did nothing to try to sooth relations and in fact encouraged Saddam Hussein in his war with Iran. So you can blame who you wish, but to me it seems we got ourselves into this quandary and the best course of action would be to admit past mistakes and try for better relations. I really don't buy the fact that most Muslim nations really don't want peace with us. They know they would be annihilated if they were to seriously damage this country say with a nuclear or biological attack.

I had an idea today while scarfing down my breakfast of ham and eggs. You remember the scene in "The Untouchables", when Sean Connery explains how to get Capone:

"He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue."

What if we adopted that thinking as our official response to Islamic rioting and terrorism? They kidnap an American citizen, we round up a few dozen of their citizens. They blow up a nightclub or an airplane, we bomb one of their cities anto rubble. They cut off an American's head, we behead twenty of them.

In short, whenever Muslims resort to violence, we turn it back on them twenty-fold. And there will be no mercy, no talk about "a few extremists". The message will be clear: either you clean your house of extremists immediately or we will clean it up for you.

That way, either the "peaceful" Muslims will take care of business, or there won't be enough of them left to be a problem.

Should the leader of our nation be stomping his feet like a little brat??


By Peter Baker
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, September 16, 2006; Page A01

"President Bush warned defiant Republican senators yesterday that he will close down a CIA interrogation program that he credited with thwarting terrorist attacks if they pass a proposal regulating detention of enemy combatants, escalating a politically charged battle that has exposed divisions within his party."

So basically what he is saying that the congress will be blamed once he discontinues the program for "allowing" terrorists to attack us simply because they refuse to "alter" the Geneva Conventions to his liking. Bratty Bush??

Someone makes a statement that a group is violent. The group responds by saying. "apologize or we will kill you and hurt lots of people up." The guy apologizes and the group says see, we aren't violent. And the media doesn't go nuts about it?

They all seem to hate the U.S. a lot.

Three other questions:

1. If they hate it so much here, wouldn't it be better to just go to a better country?

2. What Countries are better?

3. Why?

Should groups that are tax exempt be barred from participation in politics, campaigns, et el? here are some groups, churches that have come under fire for the very reason.

Years ago, CBN, owned by Televangelsit Pat Robertson, lost its status and they fianally recovered thier status as a tax exempt organization.

Should they be barred from doing what they have the right to do as Americans?

Assuming human civilisation is still in existence, what will the political geography of the world be like at the start of the 22nd century?

Personally I think all of Europe, including Russia and parts of the Middle East and North Africa will have joined into a giant European superstate.

I think China will totally dominate Asia as far as Afghanistan and Indonesia, possibly in another giant superstate, perhaps with Pakistan and India remaining the only independent countries.

Australia and New Zealand will remain independent due to their isolation.

I think many countries in South America will unite in some kind of communist revolution.

Africa will be an ignored wasteland.

In an effort to keep up with Asia/Europe, I think the United States, Canada and Mexico will become more integrated.

I know it all sounds a bit 1984, but some of these changes could happen more easily than we might think.

Most of the politicians we have in the Federal Gov today are lifers. Is this helping us or hurting us? If you think it's bad - how do you propose to fix it? Term limits? Seriously limiting contributions or cutting them off entirely? Taking any and all profit incentive out of politics? If you think it's good - why?

Why are people afreaid of Muslims just because their holy book says stuff like, "Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate."?

And what's so bad about the concept that "Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient."?

After all, you read all the time in the news about Protestant suicide bombings...and Buddists kidnapping and beheading people.... and all of the Jewish Orthodox riots around the world... and Catholics calling for Holy War when someone insults the Pope...

...well, maybe you don't, but I'm sure you would if it ever happened . The point is, I think Islam is being unfairly singled out for abuse. Just because they want to slay unbelievers and call for the deaths oif Americans, that's no reason to be afraid of them. It's probably the Jews' fault, anyway.

I say yes. Have you heard of a Kurd with a bomb strapped to himself? These folks are civilized and deserve not to be joined at the hip with the Sunnis and Shiites. Of course Turkey may object to the idea of Kurdish independence because they have a large Kurdish population that may move towards consolidation with the new Kurdish state. What say you?
