Nevermind the Karl Rove thead and mess that this country is tangled around. Does anyone remember about the London Bombing that happened a few days ago? These bombers appear to be from London but they are of Pakistan origin, one of them who had recently came back from Pakistan. If we were smart we would join the British and invade and clean up Pakistan. In todays world this would give us the perfect reason to do it, we could let the British control Pakistan since we seem to be tied up in Iraq. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,162358,00.html
the religion of ISLAM will not be satisfied until they have either converted everyone or eliminated them. And make no mistake they are many. I don't know what it's going to take to wake up this world to the fact that just because we recognize freedom of religion in western cultures doesn't mean we should tolerate a religious doctrine that condones and uses terrorism to further it's cause. if the terrorists were painted purple it would be no different. Any way you can identify these people is legal. it's not discrimination, it's self preservation. if they were all polar bear hide wearing eskimos we'd be on the look out for polar bear hunting eskimos, not lil old ladies from detroit. We need to hold the rest of the Islamic world accountable, in some way, even if just economically. I know they can't control each individual, but cooperation could be much better. The rest of the Muslims should be pointing these cells out and turning them in. Where it's obvious some knowledge was there. Just like some of the German people turned a blind eye to what the Nazi's were doing. partly in fear and partly because they hated jews too. Apathy is no excuse. They will eventually incite the rest of the world to hate muslims, and then that'll be when the innocent Muslim's suffer. Unless they convert most first, and they are working on it.... big time.
In that case we'd better invade Saudi Arabia with a quickness. Weren't all of the 9-11 bombers from there. Also wasn't there an Al-Queda operative who was a US native? Yep. We better invade ourselves too. We should kick out all the no good ragheads and pretty much everyone else who doesn't look, think and pray like me.
I think you missed the point? The point being that these people originate or at least train in Afghanistan or Pakistan. All the schools and teaching of hate are in Pakistan, that is where the Taliban and Al Quada came from. You have to kill the root and the source of this sickness before you can weed out the others. It does no good to kill off and capture these people around the world if you can't kill the source it originates from and multiplies.
dont waste your time dough guy. its these kind of people that can't put 2 and 2 together to make four that will be the downfall of freedom. You won't feel the steel till it's hangin out your back so to speak.
I agree with you however, this could cripple our country since we get our oil from Saudi Arabia. We'd have to take over the oil fields first. You just thought the blood for oil crowd and the anti-Bush crowd were outraged over Iraq, think about what would happen about Saudi Arabia. Sorry, we don't have the stomach for this kind of thing, the Democrats would skin anyone alive for this especially a Republican Administration.
The thing we have to come to grips with after the London bombings is that they were done by second generation British citizens, born in the UK and lived there all their lives. Not by foreigners. And British citizens can enter the US without a visa. Britain has 1.5 million Muslims. The United States has 7 million. Securing our borders and fighting the enemy in Afghanistan will not protect us from this internal threat. I'm not sure how we go about dealing with this, but doing nothing is out of the question. The best answer would be for the "law abiding silent majority" of American muslims to get involved in the fight against the jihadists hiding among them. But I don't see it happening.
I bet they would if they started to think we were crazier than the terrorists. I'm not saying we should start carpet-bombing Mecca and Medina, but...
