Qaeda Leader Beheads U.S. Civilian in Iraq

What does Islam think of the Ten Commandments?

[GePap]

they have them.

But don't Muslims also base their morality on seven pillars (principles)??

[PLATO]

Folks, You still don't get it. Where is a Sudanese, Congolese, or Ugandan proposing death to all who do not believe in their beliefs? Where else is hatred for the west and terrorist tactics taught with the power of religion behind it? Where else do entire regions of governments provide back room support for these methods?

The problem is societal. This is what is breeding people capable of doing these kinds of things while invoking God's name. This is what is causing people to fly airplanes into buildings. This is what is causing children to strap bombs on themselves.

The leaders who foster this and the people who follow them must be stopped. If they will not listen to reason then they must be destroyed. If not, the problem will continue to widen...the atrocities will continue to grow. And...yours and my very way of life will change. And not for the better.

Bah! The Muslim religion has little to do with what is being taught to their children. It may be that within a generation or two that the only true muslims will be living in the West.

Until 9/11, the worst terorist attack carried out on a developed nation was made by a anti-government right-winger. Through the 80s and mid nighties, right-wing domestic terrorism was the biggest threat we faced.

Should we have applied PLATO's ideas to American right-wingers?

A ****ing asswipe put the audio on public radio here, and I had the misfortune of being both in earshot and unable to do anything about it quickly.

I didn't want to hear it, I shut it down as fast as I could, and now I'll be hearing it for days.

Jackass.

If the other circumstances in the logical chain were true then the answer is yes.

[chequita guevara]

The other things you mentioned are also true.

The Weatherman never killed anyone. SLA wasn't a real political group, just a criminal gang masquarading as one.

Also, MrGreat. I put forth the proposition moonths ago when the Iraqi police wouldn't do their jobs, that maybe we should just say screw Iraq's infrastructure.

You mean when we ran the place (oh, we still do) and dictated if/when Iraqi police were hired, paid, equipped and assigned? Their jobs doing what? Wandering around without US authorization, enforcing non-existent laws (would you prefer Saddam's old ones, or the ones we hadn't yet written for them), not getting paid since we ran and controlled the banks, not taking anyone to jail because there weren't any at the time except for the prison system we ran. Oh, and getting shot by US forces because they couldn't coordinate with US if we didn't authorize them.

Problem is, Tex, that when you invade someone else's country and take over their government, scrap their military, take over their banking system, and decide who gets to do what, and when, where, how and why, you can't really blame the guys you effectively canned for "not doing their jobs."

Oh, no, you said. Can't do that. Must stay.
You bet. and get whined at by all, up to and including you.

The alternative was to stay the hell out in the first place, unless and until there was a better reason to invade and more troops and planning involved, instead of the "we can invade you with one hand tied behind our backs" and "the Iraqi people will greet us with open arms" nonsense that characterized the actual plan. Yeah, we could have pulled out at any time, but having got a few hundred troops dead and a couple hundred billion or so down the tubes, pulling out and letting Iraq turn into more of an unstable ****hole (on top of all that oil) wouldn't do us a hell of a lot of good, would it now, Tex?

One thing I'm curious about.
How long did it take you to speak fluently out of both sides of your mouth?

Copy all. Over and out.

At least I still speak through the correct orifice.

Irrelevent. They were a terrorist group. Though I will grant you that American leftists were lazy bastards compared to their Eurocom counterparts in this regard.

Now go to your pit!
