Dear Friends:

Arabs nations why do you not build develop and make your own automobiles? Surely for your nations your own developmental creations, local trains like roller coasters into each village for less gas. Conservation!

What about the olympics? Your full representation would be healthy. Bike riding,
mountain climbing, fencing, horse riding. Surely your men and women can be competitive in some of the floor dance like the Asian countries do? Compete instead of destroy terrorists.


What new products and computers are the Arab nations developing for their privacy and competion in the world?

Auto industry propellsion, air, dropping sand like Egypt built, Dropping pebbles and or weights like a windmill or water in a cycle perhaps this would be some of the power of the future? Maybe your country could develop this?

Streets not of just hot tar heated in the sand but made of the dow chemical products and those that are 800 degree tollerant like muffins in home products but in tires and streets. The future your nation your people. Less gas cars that burn the least by the Arabs for the world better than the Chinese do and financed for the world, beat Mexico they are taking on the development for Japan due to land. The cost the labor. Yet their land is polluted and the stab the Americans in the back at the same time they invade this nation. Yours and China will be next. They are already bedding your terrorists and the Arabs. Your DNA amoung the oldest instead of protected and treasured mixed lost and the Mexicans then claim they are spanish or latino. Your lost society and generations like your future. Show the world, invite the world, build your own and do not buy products from nations that are not clean products like China and Mexico. The largest tower in China will this come down? Build China yet they do not house their poor and use the land equally not just for show but for their people.


Arabs God has a place for you but it is not by following one that tries to destroy your people and land and nations. Bin Ladin, his bank takes, his land what does he grow, drugs and theives and thugs in the Arab nations and the world. What are in the shipping boxes in the ships, airplanes, trucks, autos that go through your nations and in the mail or on the internet and email and through the air that your youth can intercede? Criminals what does Bin Laden develope in his bio technology and nanotechnology? Criminal taught educated in another nation and mentally a criminal. Like Hitler did the other nations deceived.

sharon walker :

Dear Friends:

Terrorist attacks are like an animal a beast gone wild. Just as this is the action of
Bin Ladin as he suffers from many mental disease.
Please world wide look into his patterns of behaviour, you will see they are similar to that of Hitler. Manic depressed, schizophrenia, and paranoia. He also suffers from identity due to these paranoid actions of cross dressing. Idenity crisis at an age where senility may start to set in. One in which he teaches not a true document of historical and religious value as from Abraham but one that is plegerized.

Young and old. They call you not to martrydom but to a type of following that is equal to the vicitimized brain washed and poor or manipulated and those that are abused consiously or subconsiously. Please look unto your self for that which is God given strength. Look unto the Lord God and he will deliver.

Doctors are leaving Iraqi who will deliver the babies and care for the wounded. This is what Hitler did also. Forcing those who were fearful into submission. The Arab people of all groups in the world are strong and the will of God will strengthen, but not when it is to follow a falsehoodlum, a false teaching, a false ethics, values and true teachings of centuries.

What will Iraq be like after the USA leave?
How does the Arab world see this? Do you see the Iraq people alive or betrayed by the Arab world and genocide for their land?

I pray and ask for all and each nation to have representation for these comments. The room in heaven with God is limited do not follow a liar, like Bin Ladin. Arabs killing their own historically was not what God gave you kingdoms for, oil , pride, intelligence, and children.

Bring your children unto the Lord not unto a false prophet.

Zoltan, in Paris, from hungary :

As Plato said, to talk about something you need to know what you are talking about:

1) terrorists: the Nazis called the french resistance to the occupation in 1944 "terrorists" (see http://www.marxists.org/history/france/resistance/manouchian/manouchian-group.htm )
today these people are heroes. Choose your side.

2) the western civilisation: what about eastern europe ? Where do we belong ? And what about Brazil ? This "western civilisation" doesn't exist.

3) terrorist activities have existed in europe for decades (IRA, ETA, FLNC, ...) There is no way of stopping them, except from supressing the reasons for their existence. In the case of "islamic terrorism" that would actually mean to do as they ask: stop supporting blindly Israel, stop supporting friendly corrupt states (Saudi Arabia), stop invading them (Iraq), stop treating them as inferior barbarians (Iran)

4) as for the lates British plot, it's laughable. Those politicians watch too much James-Bond films. How did the terrorists blow up planes before iPods ? By putting bombs in suitcases that were regularily checked in. Why would they suddenly want to bring an aircraft down with toothpaste ? Why not good ol' plastic disguised as chocolate ? Stupid Blair !!!

5) what do "terrosists" do ? they terrorise. Or try to terrorise. Who terrorises you ? The guy who tells all the time "be affraid, there are villains out there to take on you, be affraid". And who tells you that all the time ? That one is the chief terrorist N#1

6) give us a break

Laurie, EU :

The unravelling of the London plot is only proof that the best results in the fight against (islamic) terrorism are being achieved by means of police work and not by starting wars against secular dictators.

The Bush administration has repeatedly stated that the US is not waging a war against Islam but in reality, since a branch of Islam is the one carrying out an attack against Western democracy, the confrontation is, at least from the terrorists' side, religiously motivated.

Thus, not recognising the problem cannot lead to finding a solution.

The Bush administration's reluctancy to name the conflict by its name is not only an attempt to be politically correct but is rather the result of naivety/incompetence.

Moreover, a religious war cannot be won by the force of arms but by a revolution in the ideas. This revolution can only come from within Islam but I'm afraid that we'll have to wait long years before a reform will occur in this religion, too.

We can attempt to address some of the grievances of the muslim world but as long as Israel does not return to the borders fixed by the UN and several muslim states don't want to recognise Israel there will still be a conflictual situation in the years to come.

One thing is sure: sheer strength, as shown by Israel against the Palestinians or the US against the Iraqis, does not solve the problem. And, as Sherlock Holmes used to say: "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"

Argosi, :

What I find significant is rather the reaction of the leaders of the Muslim communities in the UK as well as the US. Gone is the guilt that prompted at least some disassociation, after the New York and London attacks, with the criminal element abusing their faith from within. Abusing their trust. Using their communities as cover to plot against the country which gave them or their parents a refuge.
They only have disbelief or outright denial, now.

I should hasten to add, in the same breath if it were possible, that this inexcusable attitude can be explained as a by-product of many failures in foreign policy and the conduct of the so-called war on terrorism by the US administration in particular.

Just as the criminals who plot and execute terrorist acts in the name of some grievance or another, having no regard for innocent life, so will now the communities that whelp them find all sort of excuses for their aberrations, without any regard for sound reason, to the point of sharing the same aberrations.

Of course, the parallel events in Lebanon had a lot to do with the way Muslim leaders and some members of the communities reacted to the news of the recent UK plot. I am affraid that making that war theater another "Front of the War on Terrorism", just like Iraq, even as Lebanese civilians got caught between the two factions, did not help.

What can be done? It won't be easy.

First, the world community must agree irrevocably and unconditionally that there is no excuse for terrorist attacks on innocent civilians.
No real or perceived or imagined wrong can ever be set straight by the wrong done to innocent civilians.

The Muslim nations and the Muslim communities in America, Europe and elsewhere need to take responsibility for disallowing the mentality of Jihad from their midst. If they want rights they must carry the responsibilities.

Second, our politicians must pursue political solutions starting with non partisan united approach to restoring a credible and just foreign policy in the Middle East.
Leave it up to the people of the countries of the Middle East to decide if they want democracy, our brand or any brand but the one imposed by foreign occupation.
Deal with terrorism as an international crime. Protect the home front first, that's where the threat is.
Clean up the mess in Iraq; perhaps finish what was started in Afghanistan.

Third, get our friends aligned once again to support America's fair politics around the world. As well, they will help to fight real terrorism—the common enemy.

Fourth, never, never count your... winnings when you're sitting at the table, to paraphrase Kenny Rogers singing The Gambler.

Fifth, good luck Republicans and Democrats alike!

Sixth, this is a job for Condi. She has the pH to be a good midwife.

Seventh, if all the above is not working by the end of the year go to plan B: See the post herein above Posted at August 14, 2006 11:04 PM

Mark, Victoria, Canada :

Put it in perspective. More people in the U.S. die of heart failure every year than have been killed by terrorists. Do people walk around terrified they're going to die from heart failure? Of course not. The terror threat is hyped for reasons of political gain and control, cruising on the visceral reaction people have to terrorist violence, like axe murders and shark attacks. You're not very likely to die from those, either, but the idea scares the bejesus out of everybody.

If you find yourself overwhelmed with terror every day, scared to accept the latest round of draconian incursions on your liberty, but scared not to, you have nobody to blame but yourself. Even if you didn't help vote this twisted bunch into power, you don't do anything to get them out. They can't do it to you if you won't have it. Stop being such sheep.

sputnik van dermerwe. bethal. south africa :

the latest terrorist plot uncovered by the british, to blow more than ten planes is just pure lies and it is just a state conspiracy to frame certain muslim individuals in order to divert the world from the ongoing atrocities commited by israeli and the american forces on both the innocent lebanese and iraqi citizens, especially children and women.above all, it was just a deliberate calculated political plot by the western allies to sway world opinion on the fast growing opposition to the allies insatiable appetite for the blood of the wick. this drama has also just been played as a prelude to garnering public support for the war against iran. i believe that the plan to attack iran, is well at its advanced stages now,hence the coalition of the willing would stop at nothing from terrorising the world with all sorts of threats, just in order to subdue any opposition to the plan. i wish to remind the people of the world never to forget that iraq was also attacked on the very same premise, when we were duped into believing that the enemy[terrorists] was hiding in afghanistan. this is pure state terrorism, the most profound abuse of state power by both george bush and tony blair.

DWS, Silver Spring, MD, USA :

I suggest you read _The Lessons of Terror_ by Caleb Carr. He suggests a multi-generational solution.

zou, usa :

There must be a new face (democrat or republican) on the so called war on terror. Unfortunately Bush has become to the arab world what Bin Laden represents in the western world. I am afraid that we'll have to wait for the 2008 presidential elections ( but please no more neo-cons on board)

long gone :

Ignatius and Zakaria: Congratulations on your blog.

MikeB Eugene,OR :

Atheist - A few years back, Hizbulla thugs captured two Russian diplomats. The Hizbulla thugs murdered one of them outright, hanging him and taking pictures of the whole thing for the entertainment of the Arab Street. Then, the KGB got into the act. They rounded up the families of the thugs (those they could identify) and mailed pieces of them home with the message that if the remaining hostage wasn't released unharmed, they would all be killed and whenever they could identify the rest of the goons, their families would be likewise dealth with. The diplomat was released and no more Russian were taken prisoner. Hizbulla, Hamas, Al Qaida, Iran, Syria do not fight their dirty little wars by any set of rules. We ought to deal with them, as they deal with their Western captives.

lorenzo,cartaxo,portugal :

i reed only about the solutions "afther"..why dont think about policy to prevent, not the bombists(it is too late) but the rising of the bombists mentality?
why dont accept that every man has his dignity, indipends from religion and nationality?
in the USA people speaks always about the "other's" racisme..never about the own racisme..for a normal midwest american..the south americans are "chicos", the italians "spaghetti" , the jellows monkeys..etc etc etc...
and you are surprised that afther some people is going to refuse also what is good in our western way of life ?
come down in the commun earth..you (and the jews...) are not the choisen people...belong to the common people..we have commons ancesters...the monkeys..

you know son :

taking you apart is like spraying water on toilet tissue.

Since Tony Snot :

is working at the whitehouseI think it's more likely that they Fox News may have created more o fthe same...

you know like Tawanda Bradley

have you ever noticed that people who :

use the word phrase "islam o fascists" are the same ones that buy the Jeff Foxworth DVD's?

here's a couple of good quote to help you identify them:

"
If you own a home with wheels on it and several cars without, you just might be a redneck.

If your father walks you to school because you're in the same grade, you might be a redneck.
"

the sellors of Islamofascism are also buyers and purveyors of bassmasters, as well as stink baits

their main ploy is jingoism and "appeal to emotion," you can recognize them by the stink of hatred rizing from their posts.

.

Atheist, Boston, USA :

Islamic thugs in the Gaza strip kidnapped 2 journalists who are employed at Fox News. Read the shocking story at the following Internet link.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/14/AR2006081401331.html

Perhaps, we should try an innovative approach to freeing the journalists. Here are my thoughts.

At least 2 governments are committed to seeking revenge for 2 murders in Iraq. Those 2 governments are Seoul and Moscow. Seoul wants to slaughter a sizeable number of Islamic thugs because they beheaded a Korean citizen. Moscow seeks revenge for the death of a Russian citizen in Iraq. Coincidentally, the Korean Special Forces (KSF) and Russian Special Forces (RSF) are the two deadliest, most brutal military organizations on the globe.

I propose that Washington summon the ambassadors of both Korea and Russia. Washington should tell the ambassadors that the American government will simply remain silent if their governments seek revenge by sending the RSF and the KSF to the Gaza Strip to eradicate every Islamic thug from the area. In the process of killing some cockroaches, if the RSF and the KSF manage to find the 2 employees of Fox News, then Washington shall award a government contract to 1 Korean company and 1 Russian company.

I see this proposal as a win-win situation for all the interested parties.

In my opinion :

the perpatrators of the mythology of needing to subdue an enemy in order to justify the perpatration of the international riche community to gain control over the world by controlling the economies and scarce resources.........

ala the Rothchildes, ha ha ha.........Louis the 14th, Mad King George and Huey Long from Louisiana...

thievery disguised as "good intentions," ala hate sold as "family values,"

had any daughters raped by a gang of soldiers after they murdered your family lately?

.

I believe with out a doubt that :

people wh ofollow religions as a way of knowing what is right and wrong are dangerous to the rest of us, who can do that without a recipe...

I also think that people who claim to be from here or there when they are from the same place are simply trying to fill up this blog with meaningless messages of hate, and forget that their IP address is on the message regardless of whether or not they have signed in....it's part of the internet routing protocol darpanet/arpanet/dodnet Advanced Research Projects

.

hmm, what is it, a new american century? :

done any bass fishing lately shineboy?

oh, wolfowitz doesn't hate the muslims :

he wants to use them as scapegoats.

and I don't think widows an dchildren got mr E x oxon 's CEO's $384 Million dollar bonus.......

The Oil companies don't operate effectively if they give out those kind of bonuses....do they?

and why are we not oil independant? because we can't be? that's reich...Europe had been paying dollars more than the United States peoples for decades.......they even drive small cars as a result....

I think Springsteen would rip your face off and hand it to you N.H.

.

I knew you came from New Jersey but I :

was thinking that you wouldn't be stupid enough to come out of your hole...

once again the monkey and the coconut trick...

you were saying?

Mike, New London, CT :

"From where you write, what's the significance of this latest plot and how might such terrorist activities be stopped over the next decade?"

That it is home-grown Muslim citizens again. That it appears to be one of some 70 plots involving 1,200 or so British Muslims that MI-5 says are at various stages.

That either we live in a police state or we have to consider EXPELLING all Muslims.

The US has over 300,000 soft targets such as 47,000 shopping malls, schools and well as 50,000 semi or well protected targets like airports, Gov't buildings, and about 3,000 Vital targets like nuke plants, military bases, police headquarters that ARE well-guarded, but still possibly penetrable if we are talking about crack Islamofascist terror squads armed with moden weapons.

I don't see an defense covering all the targets, nor any defense working 100% against even highly guarded targets as the Islamist terror groups evolve, learn, become even more stealthy and lethal.

Not without leaving many targets open, spending 10s of billions annually of so-so protection of some - that must be eventually paid for one done day when Bush or his successor cannot defer it any longer on his Bank of China and Japan credit card. The "secirity experts" the media loves to hype the latest fear - some tremendous "Hole" like searching every cargo container with a new Federal workforce that will have the privilege of waiting on the pier to inspect the A-bomb cargo that unfortunately is rigged to explode long before any Fed Flunky inspects, the idea of spending 60 billion and doubling airline ticket prices for defenses against the "inacceptable MANPAD, model rocket, aiport runway suicide bomber, and about 2 dozen other "dire Islamofascist threats".

Sorry, we cannot defend it affordable, nor can we put 300 million in a police state for the menace coming from a small community here, and a large population we can control from coming here. Already the totalitarian Air Security Gestapo is talking about thousands more "liquid explosives detection experts" adding to every passenger's burden and ticket price (except the wealthy and high -ranking gov't officials on non-commercial jet transport). They are now talking not just bans, but 10 billion or so in "new liquid explosive detection machines it is "Imperative, according to experts, to add. But that clearly isn't enough as liquids could be concealed in a plastic bag hidden on the body...so that is why we will need, they say, new X-ray machines that make clothing transparent or strip searches.

Wait under "America's Law Enforcement Heroes" figure out that Islamic radicals already know about packing 4-6 lbs of cocaine or heroin inside a mule. Substitute the words martyr for mule and C-4 for cocaine. Stand by for civil liberties idiots to insist on body cavity searches for all so as to be "non-discriminatory"

My solution? Pretty dire. But only because it is impossible to have a secure defense in an open society without transforming it into a totalitarian police state. But we are at War with radical Islam - not just active killers at the tip of the spear, but hundreds of thousands of supports, sympathizers, those who wish to remain "out of it" but would never inform on Muslim brothers. We get rid of most this Gestapo junk - but we say that if the stuff goes on, no Muslims on planes, no Muslims in jobs that could allow them to harm Americans. Resident alien Muslims will be deported if more mass Muslim slaughter happens. And if it still keeps up, all Muslims will be cleansed back to the Ummah, along with prominent infidel apologists, having proved they cannot coexist peacefully.

Obviously, we would require changing the Constitution. I think the population will be ready to revise it to deal with the Enemy Within matter after more Islamofascist mass murder. Certainly after a Muslim nuking or anthrax attack. Rather than become a police state....you treat the Islamics like an employee that isn't cutting it and has a few steps to clean up their act before getting fired. Allow them a chance to clean up their own people, impose harsh steps to bring reality to them that they are on track to become ex-Americans if the stuff continues. But then, finally have a point where we can legally say - "Sorry, it hasn't worked out. Every other group coming to America has assimilated without springing forth raging Jihadis out to mass murder other Americans. We cannot keep the Constitution and its liberties and rights and at the same time preserve the highestr liberty - protection of life - while a Muslim community has failed it's duties as citizens. Report for the deportation planes - Muslim immigrants, Muslim citizens alike. You are all going."

Tom Wonacott, Meridian, Idaho :

The significance of the latest plot has nothing to do with assimilation, racism or poverty. Only a small percentage of England's Muslims are involved (probably less than one tenth of one percent). The will to alter western society by terrororist means (foreign policy, etc.) combined with radical interpretations of Islam is the problem.

In my opinion, Islamo-fascism is spreading throughout the world. It is the biggest threat to civilization since World War II. Appeasement is not the answer. Within Muslim areas in western society, preachers of hate must be arrested or deported. This not only includes the Imams that have immigrated to various western countries with their sick message, but also foreign infiltration by Al Queda and other murderous radical Islamic groups (sleeper cells). Muslim informants need to continue to step forward, and governmemt measures such as the Patriot Act cannot be weakened by lobbies such as the ACLU.

Countries that harbor terrorist, or lend support to terrorist (and that included Iraq) are the enemy. The enemy must be met forcefully wherever Islamo-fascist emerge.

A case in point is the Israli-Lebanon conflict. The Middle East represents one of the longest running diplomatic quagmires in recent times, but there can be no peace as long as Israel's right to exist is not recognized. War continues to be the result of this diplomatic failure. With diplomacy failing to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions, war is clearly in the future, and in fact, is the only sane alternative.

In conclusion, diplomacy and appeasement will not work against Islamo-fascism. The threat must be met forcefully until the world rids itself of this cancer.

diebold, I make election fixing easy, YOU IDIOT.

You couldn't shine Dr. Wolfowitz's shoes, nor, Rumsfeld, nor Cheney. Why should ANY Islamo get 1¢ from the World Bank? They don't have enough cash? You IDIOT-IMBECILE. They hate the infidels, but, they'd be TOAST without the infidels, because their OWN kind wouldn't give 'em ice, in the winter. Dieboldm clealy, your parents beat you, locked you in the basement, without a toilet. Question: who the HELL let you OUT!

att: quite obvious to any but the most elementary thinkers

You might benefit from becoming a thinker. Give it a shot. You are repeating, word for word, O'Reilly, but, I doubt YOU ever saw the inside of Harvard. Listen UP:
1)Exxon, BP, Chevron earn less dollars, per gross, or, ROI, than Microsoft, Pepsi, Apple, the pharmaceuticals. They just happen to do more vulume. No big deal Besides, on average, over the years, their financial performance has been miserable: and I didn't see anyone cry for them.
2) WHO do you think OWNS these companies? Your mom, union retirement funds, mutual funds; in other words, EVERYBODY.

If you think the digging, refining, selling of petroleum is so profitable, buy their stock & make a bundle. I think Google is a WAY stronger stock. PS. I earned 7 MIl. last year, how 'bout YOU?

quite obvious to any but the most elementary thinkers :

Look, WE don't need oil, and are not threatened by a lack of it unless you're an oil sellor....and don't want an alternative, or alternatives to be developed because you want to make top dollar. If cars start, "running on water," as it was implied in the movie "Syriana"....the need to control or dominate the middle east ceases to exist....

you want to erase the danger from oil, a scarce resource, falling into the wrong hands....

you eliminate the need for it by reengineering the dependent society...

mandate telecommuting where applicable, mandate customer service for United States Companies to be in_country...so we can give our out of work factory workers something to do besides work at McDonalds and keep them from having to commute intown from rural homes, mandate energy changes that reduce consumption, start advertising in such a way as to skew consumption towards products that by their nature make the world a better place, organics, replacing high energy consuming products with low energy consuming products, making people that consume more than 30 gallons a week per car pay double for the excess gas....whatever...

IF WE WERE AT WAR, we would do it, and do it in such a fashion that hardships would be _fun_ and a sharing comraderie of feeling rather than fat bastids complaining about not being able to eat the baby...

This administration, as well as Exxon, BP, Chevron and whoever else is playing you, the citizens of the world and United States does not want you to see that they don't want you to discover an alternative to oil addiction....

they want to sell it to you as long as they own _ANY_ of it down to the last drop..._THAT_...._IS_ in _their _ best interests...

not yours, you should wake up and smell the coffee burning

FIND an alternative to oil, and destroy the families that are using the United States Military as their personal tool.

Hey. I am VERY pro-Israel, but, as an American, I understand , fully, that the ELCTORATE beras ultimate responsibility. The American Electorate voted for Clinton, twice, we got plenty of Islamo attacks: Clnton, that coward, bombed an empty aspirin factory. THIS, Israeli government is as incompetent as it gets, voted in by a IMBECILIC ELECTORATE. The previous two governments were useles & criminally negligent. Here, in the US, we'd impeach the bastads, for less. You Israelis better wise UP. Would Bibi have screwed up, inefectually, like this? Ther's your answer. You compromised your values, your ethics, you sacrificed your ypung men with horrible lack of prepartion, planning, leadership, imagination, will, nor, GUTS. You got 100% what you voted for. Yiou voted FOR murser of Jews, you GOT it.

DEAR TKH Atlanta, GA :

perhaps you don't understand something,

there was no Iraq involvement in the WTC bombing. Most insiders to the Washington DC area consider it a false flag attack by the CIA against the United States.

All of the "WTC pilots, if they existed," were Saudi look it up on Wikipedia...........their names and nationality are listed.

who has the most to gain from getting ahold of the second largest oil reserve sin the world in I rack? well when you combine that with what the Saudis, UAE, B P, E x X o n and other internationals and corporations friendly to the bush family.........you know Bin Ladens family visited Bush at his Crawford ranch doncha?

well what it does for th e middle east is make bushco and his friends a heckuva lot reicher!!!! who was bush selling our ports to UAE? weren't a couple of the WTC bombers UAE? yes.

the terrorists in Irak are the same kinda terrorists that the American Indians were after we slaughtered their buffalos, and poisoned their water holes........."people that were angry at being taken advantage of,"

beads, blankets, treaties no thonored.....

it's happening again, who trained the Al Quearda boyzzz? CIA in afghanistan, hell we even gave 'em money.........

osama ben aladin? oh he's a mean one aint he? raht. 6 foot 6 inch invisible diabetic....ever watch "Enemy of the State,"

that was technology 20 years ago........if they've allowed it to be shown, the technology, you can bet it's olde and what is currently being used is "HUGELY" better

you think theycouldn't find bin laden or make a CSI like dumm y of him like htey did for Al Zaquaria....the "one legged,"?

please.

hey little buddy, :

changing your moniker doesn't change your message. Simple minded cracker.

Bush et al. are in it for the money. And you're not getting any. You think Irack is getting it? Look for your middle class.........pretty soon America will be looking like Juarez Me hico, and you're going to be the fat boy they'll be greasin...

Hey, MikeB, Eugene, Oregon. Read my comments direted at Percy. The difference is, while Percy is mismedicated, YOU, lil' puppy, are OVERDUE to avail YOURSELF of Oregon's euthanasia laws. Doesn't the green state have legislation against pollutants like you?! Go! JUMP. It'll feel good (HaHa) get them 72 cockroaches.

MikeB, Eugene, Oregon :

Bob, London - It's not jst the economy. Everything Bush and Blaire has touched has turned to dust. These two have got to be the most incompitent leaders in modern history. They have over extented our economies, or military, and the world's patience. Anyone with half a brain could have used early opportunities to moderate Islam. Instead they have permanently radicalize Islam to the extent that we are locked into a life and death struggle with the most extreme elements of that "religion"...AND we have driven the vast majority of Steet Arabs into their arms. What a mess. Most of the soccer moms and NASCAR dads and "free traitors" (the investors and their corporate brothers) think they have dodged the bullet - that only the children of the poor are going to die on the front lines in Bush's war. I almost look forward to the looming terrorist attacks that will kill these silly twits by the thousands and bring home what their lousy choices have brought us to. What a bunch of sorry, sad, deluded fools.

Bob, London :

The British Government suceeded in instilling fear and panic into the minds of most of the adult world, with a quick terror tactic ploy that is no doubt designed only to enhance the powers of the state and prevent an all out revolution when the economies of fiat currency come tumbling down at some near point in the future...

Arthur, Los Angeles :

Democracy doesn't develop by simply giving people the right to vote.
Voting is, prhaps, the least indication of real democracy.
As the history of Europe has shown democracy didn't begin to develop until after the Reformation (when people began to question the exclusive monopoly on thought by the Catholic Church. It also required the growth of a strong middle class. This took hundreds of years to evolve.
The United States underwent a similar evolution (building on Western European experiences) before we developed democracy as we know it.
Despite all the political correct speech about Muslims wanting the same freedoms as everyone else the facts don't seem to indicate this.
With the exception of Turkey (whose "democracy" is protected by its secular army) not one country with a Muslim majority has developed in almost 1500 years,
Is it possible that belief in Islam precludes elements that are essential to democracy- belief in equality for all people, independent thought, a strong middle class based on a free economy.
If this is the case it, in itself, is no threat to democracies in the world. But if Islamists are determined to force their beliefs on the rest of the world it is a mortal threat to the existence of freedom.

From Israel with Love... :


Missed goals By Amos Harel (Haaretz Israeli Newspaper)

Repetition of the facts may be tedious, but it is important to note them: Even on the 33rd day of Operation Change of Direction in Lebanon, there has been no change of direction. On the eve of the cease-fire, as the Israel Defense Forces are advancing toward the Litani River, the Katyushas continued to rain on the Galilee. More than 250 rockets, one dead and scores injured.

In other words, on the eve of the war's end, one of the basic aims of the IDF operation was not achieved. The Katyusha attacks have not diminished. Yesterday, a television crew caught a Katyusha being launched not far from Metula, a distance of several dozen meters from Israel.

A number of reasons were given for the authorization of the ground offensive on Friday evening - despite the fact that the UN Security Council was about to vote on a cease-fire resolution: the need to hold forward positions near the Litani River so that during the cease-fire, searches of the villages could take place in a southward direction; the desire to influence the formulation of the UN resolution; and the need to be better positioned for renewed hostilities, should the cease-fire collapse.

Less than two days have passed, the IDF has suffered 32 fatalities and two of the arguments in favor of the operation have been shattered. The text of the resolution has not been changed because the Security Council voted immediately after the start of the offensive. And with the exception of a small area in the central part of the front, the IDF is nowhere near the Litani. In most parts IDF forces are nearly 10 kilometers away, with dozens of Hezbollah positions still in the area.

It's hard to do in two days what was originally planned for five days of intense fighting. Moreover, insofar as the army is concerned, in a matter of 10 days its forces will need to pull back to within 2 kilometers from the border. How many villages will be searched by then? A handful, because the army will be busy mostly with defending itself and waiting for the vanguard of Lebanese army forces to arrive, allowing the IDF to withdraw. In the next few days Israel's troops will be diminished with the removal of reservist units from the front lines, in an effort to cut back on casualties.

Could it possibly be, then, that Israel simply does not believe that this cease-fire can hold? The alternative explanation is even sadder: Is it possible that the dead soldiers, from the last few days, sacrificed their lives for the sake of the image of victory? Was this last-minute rush to the Litani meant to satisfy a pent-up military urge, building for two weeks now, to move forward? Or worse, was this operation meant to allow the government a political time-out before public criticism heightened over the limited achievements of this campaign?

Reference to the battle in the Wadi Salouki area is relevant here. In the early morning hours the battle ended successfully: A tank force crossed the river and climbed the steep hills to join an advanced infantry force in the push toward the Litani. Division 162 fulfilled its orders, and fighting in the area claimed the lives of 15 soldiers in the past two days. The first tank to cross the wadi was destroyed by a massive mine, and its crew was killed. Eight other tanks suffered anti-tank missile hits. Among the two dead are two company commanders. A battalion commander was seriously injured. The division describes this as "a historic achievement." Other officers wondered whether it was not possible to make do only with infantry operations, and why there were no consultations with officers from the Paratroopers and Golani forces, who in the past had been involved in bloody fighting in the area.

Where does this leave the reservists, in particular? They certainly have a belly full of complaints and anger at the way the war was run. How will they behave? We will probably only have the real answer the next time they get the notice in the mail that they have been called up.

Click on the following link to read the transcript of an interview that Mike Wallace, of CBS's well-regarded "60 Minutes", conducted with the president of Iran.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/09/60minutes/main1879867.shtml

The key point to remember is that the Iranian president acts, thinks, and talks like most Muslims — especially, Muslims of Iranian/Arab ancestry. He is not a freak. He is typical of Muslims.

Notice how his words and deeds are very similar to most of the pro-Muslim articles in this blog.

If you are non-Muslim, please take this opportunity to teach your children that Muslims are radically different from non-Muslims. Print the transcript of the interview and show your kids. Only in this way can you prepare your children for dealing with the Islamic menace.

As the current conflict between the Hezbollah Islamic thugs (who favor killing homosexuals) and the Israeli military rages, click on the following Internet link to get the facts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Israel-Lebanon_conflict

Remember that religious profiling is perfectly acceptable and that it is quite legal.

The constitution guarantees the right of any American to believe in any sick system of values. For example, the members of Ku Klux Klan (KKK) have a constitutionally guaranteed right to believe in their sick, animal-like system of beliefs. At the same time, Washington has legal authority to put the KKK on 24-hour surveillance. Indeed, for decades, the FBI targetted the KKK and monitored their activities.

Similarly, Muslims in the USA have a constitutionally guaranteed right to believe in their sick, animal-like system of beliefs [#]. At the same time, Washington has legal authority to put the Muslims on 24-hour surveillance. Indeed, for the next several decades, the FBI should target Muslims and monitor their activities.

[#] cheering Hezbollah, condemning homosexuality, supporting Iran, and similar nonsense.

MWJ Chicago, IL :

TKH worries too much about alleged innocent life, Bob S. does everything boil down to wether or not you hate Bush?

Try some blanket statements; they do not take much thought, and they are usually"generally"right.

There is no such thing as a moderate muslim; other than the token few on TV.

If a group is fighting for what they truly believe to be the will of god, negotiations are futile.

They are savages-we are not; and there is a difference.

Hanging prostitutes, stoning women, and public anputations are not culture; it is depravity and barbarity forced upon people from birth-which again-is depravity of the worse kind.

All moronic religions have a doomsday scenario-oh wait-er-yeah, pretty much all of em; the difference is over the last 5 centuries all but one Islam has been moderating, and modernizing.

Why have not all our excellent TV journalist-heck any for that matter-been able to smuggle out hundreds of hours of audio from american mosques? They seem to know every government secret.

Complete and utter military defeat is the only answer for victory over fascists.

If you house, feed, support, and bare children for the enemy...you are not innocent, nor a civilian.
