If we kill him on the battle field he becomes a martyr, if we capture and then kill him, regardless of the circumstances, we become very bad people, however, if we let him die in a cold dark cave in the mountainous region between Afghanistan and Pakistan he dies as a feeble man. The latter is the preferred method for Bin Laden to die. |

You don't have to "attack" to cause devastation, e.g., two TRILLION dollars wasted on Iraq, 4,000 US soldiers killed, tens of thousands of Iraqis killed, oil prices at $109 a barrel, the U.S. reputation in the gutter. Those are some of the results of Bush blowing it. |

The US military is going through a slow, painful transformation and it's going to take more time to fully develop new tactics, capabilities and means of fighting this type of war. Progress is being made, but the transition from a Cold War tactical capability to fighting small groups of widely spread terrorists will take more time. That's why our efforts in Iraq and elsewhere seem like an overkill or over reaction for the threat sometimes. Meanwhile, I have a few dead tree stumps on my property also. Eisboch |

Eisboch Hatred of, well anybody that was not the same as them, is brainwashed in radical racism starting at birth and has religion as it's backbone. Yes, the Klan think of themselves as Christians, it is their religion. Not only do they hate any person of color, but in the end they hate anyone who is not their brand of radical christian. I have been in men's houses and seen them send their 7 yo children to show me their robe and plastic guy, I will not tell you what the child said when she came from her room, it made me ill. I asked an obviously less than willing member why? He told me "my brothers are Klan, my father, my boss, my peers, my kids teachers, the feed store owner.. If I was not in the Klan, I could not live here". I have seen what happens to a good family when the formal certificate comes out ex-communicating a member and his family.. And in the end, I found out how they treat a person who will not join... My point is that was in the early 80's and it was dying then. Through education, and mass communication, desegregation, I knew it was destined to fall, thankfully. MTV believe it or not probably had as much to do with it as the schools. Imagine this conversation. A child comes home from school and asks his dad. "Dad, I was with Jamie today getting help with my math, he is the smartest kid in the class, and he plays piano better than anyone I have ever heard and he is black". "Why can't he be my best friend?" He can't answer, the kid is in a good school and can't be fooled into believing his dads claims that his friend is no more than an ape, I said back then it was close but it still might take a couple of generations for the older ones to die off. And yes, there are still some around, but they are really pretty much considered a nuisance by most, a laughing stock by others. Either way, they have been outed and they have very little influence, as time goes on they will be no more than a few exhibits in some lame museum. How does this relate to extremists claiming to be religious? Remember Indonesia, the flood? Indonesia is one of the most populous Islam countries on the earth, and has a huge population of extremists. I understand that the US Navy was the first one on the scene as we had an aircraft group in the area. I also understand they already had a contingency plan in place for such an event. The first Americans on the scene were comfortably attractive female sailors and "strapping" young all American boys. Very intentional and also making it easier for them to work there in those conditions. Now imagine the child having been told all his life "Americans have pointed teeth and ears, and they eat their conquests, they are devils". And the kid answers "Dad, what about that nice American soldier that pulled mommy and me out of the hut, took us to their big boat, and gave mommy a new leg.. They were very nice, they saved us.?" Now imagine we get MTV or CNN or BBC into the schools so they can see what is out there beyond the hate.. I know I tend to ramble but I still submit it can be done at least to the point where extremists can be considered no more than a pain in the ass. It will just take a couple of generations to let the falsehoods die off, help them have stable governments so they can have jobs, schools, mass communication. Yes, it may take lot of time work and money and maybe even blood to get them there.. But it can and must be done. And with a little backbone, we in the free world can get them there... just like the south... Hope that all makes sense. S was recruited by the KKK in 82 in northern Alabama, I turned them down of course. |

Now look at it. Iran was a budding democracy, until our very own CIA, overthrew Mossadegh. Now look at it. Poverty and hunger. People who are destitute and hungry with no hope are very easy to recruit. They will go along with anyone who comes to them with the answers to their immediate problems. If we had spent the money already wasted on this idiotic and futile "War on Terror" building houses, schools and hospitals and feeding people's families, 3000 of our soldiers would still be alive and home with their families. Instead, they are ripe for the picking when the terrorists come calling, looking for anyone who wants someone to care about them. For sure, we wouldn't be worse off. Radical Islam is a small percentage of Islam. We paint all of Islam with the same brush, at our peril. |

Never ending military action, sacrificing the sons and daughters of other Americans? Peace is the period between the last war and the next war. Islam has been fighting this current war for 1,000 years now. |

We are facing thousands of years of religious indoctrination and beliefs. Poverty and hunger aren't part of the equation. I think you are making the mistake of judging Islamic fundamentalism through the filters of western culture. Eisboch |

It's a country with policies we may support or disagree with. The threat to us was demonstrated on 9/11. Eisboch |

And with a little backbone, we in the free world can get them there... just like the south... Hope that all makes sense. ------------------------------------------------------ Sure it makes sense, and it's a good plan. Meanwhile, for the 100 years or so it takes for this to happen, we need to be on guard, willing to fight and kill to defend ourselves, our freedom and culture. Otherwise, we won't be here 100 years from now to embrace the enlightened. Islamic fundamentalists have sworn to destroy us. Eisboch The biggest weapon in the terrorists arsenal? Poverty and hunger.

Once feeds the hunger with solace that the after life will be better and the the other binds them to government handouts for the rest of their lives. Far preferable to us spending the next 1000 years sending our younjg people to die for absolutely no good reason, and spending the same amount of money anyway. Both are in bondage to an ideaology. I would rather be bound to capitalism. People need to be responsible for their actions whether that is being a terrorist or lazy. So lets stop being lazy, and responsibly address the problem, rather than killing our kids and destroying what this country stood for when it was founded. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. If you don't want work to support yourself, I don't want to support you either in any manner. You are free to spend your own money and convince others to spend their own money to support lazy people. But, I have a problem when you want to take my money, via taxes, and give it to the lazy pricks to blow on crack and cable TV. |
