why have we allowed things in our civilization to get to the point they we are at now. we are misinformed, poorly educated, saturated with mindless nonsense peddled for reality on tv everyday and yet we buy into it. we think because tv tells us that the bad guy will alway's get caught at the end of csi that thats how it happens. at the end of the day we will be victorious in whatever we do. this is nonsense. we can not win a war on terror, we can not win the hearts of the iraqi people when we use torture, inprisonment and just plain brute force. in iraq if you are of fighting age our military can inprison you for up to 6 months without cause. now you might say well this is what has to be done to win the war. well this hasnt been a war for a long time its an occupation. what would you do if that was going on here? if we stay on this path for to long we will be the one's with the hoods over our heads being led off to secret prisons with no just cause in the name of freedom.

all what you said man is true. i think people are affraid of losing there jobs cause the world has made its self like a train if you're not on it, it will leave you behind. Its also about the money, like some kinds of magic trick. Everybody ormos people want a high paying job. Nothing else really matters cause its too pessemistic for them. hey problably think the world is something it not. We need more Martin Luther King Jr.s and John Lennons and Socrates JFKs but i think no one or most arent willing to sacrafice things for a greater cause like old times.

The Western Media has caused the west to believe in their point of view, and only giving one side of the story blinds the people viewing: that is almost everybody. It has made its "victims" extremely ignorant, and I am truly proud of those who see through its schemes. The Media has forced its viewers to believe that Islam is a violent, bloody, intolerant religion, but in reality this is actually the opposite. If people would stop accepting their television sets as their teachers, more people would know the actual truth about Islam. The Media reports misleading stories, gross exaggerations, inaccurate information, and false statements about Islam and Muslims to undermine the religion, and unfortunately, this propaganda is a success--many, MANY Americans believe everything they hear on the news or read in the newspaper. What they fail to realize is that what they read/hear is only one point of view of a bias Media that has been criticizing Muslims with false information vigorously since 9/11.
Terrorism is CONDEMNED in Islam; it is not allowed, period. Neither is innocent murder, suicide of any kind, forced marriages or forced conversions. These are all misleading fabrications composed by the Media. You can't always believe what you hear.
Terrorists are not true Muslims; they use Islam as a mask to cover up their dirty work, and give Islam a bad name. Most of them are only Muslim by name, yet are still accused of acting upon Islamic teachings, when in actuality, they are not. It is not fair for the majority of Muslims, who oppose terrorism and denounce violence that is occurring. Unfortunately, the Media will never let this be known, making it look like Muslims support these radical actions, when in reality they absolutely do not.
Please refer to the following video. It is very true, and will provide valuable insight; I strongly recommend watching it:

I think that most of us know that television is fiction. I think that compared to centuries ago, we are quite well educated. As for your political views, you are entitled to your opinion, but you have way oversimplified some very complicated matters. I don't believe we are trying to "win the hearts of the iraqi people when we use torture, inprisonment and just plain brute force".

Because we don't care enough to get off our rear-ends and do something for someone else. :(
