This is addressed to all of the members on this site who have tried to compare our campaign in Iraq and terrorist operations. It is not comparable in any way except that people die in terrible ways.

Iraq has had 12 years to consider that at some point they would be held resposible for ignoring the conditions of the UN sanctions. How does that compare with covert terrorists gaining entry into this country and committing the acts of 9/11? Unfortunately the US and GB are the only countries with any weight willing to put some signifigance behind the words.

Also, if anyone still believes that there is no connection between this Iraqi regime and other terrorist organizations then please listen very carefully. Santa Claus is on a diet. Please leave skim milk with his cookies this year.

To all in harms way good luck and God bless!!!

I always laughed @ this Bizzare comparison

There's this things called "Civilization"
" Right & Wrong " theres a way to do things & a way not to.
The rules have been in place for a while, we dont feed Christians to the lions, we dont burn Witches @ the stake, We dont enslave Africans, we dont put Jews in ovens, no more human sacrifices, ect, ect, ect..... We as civilized humans do thier best to live with dignity & conscience.
Islam radicals believe it's justifiable to Hijack planes & smash them into our tallest buildings killing thousands, WHY? Our policy towards Israel ?
Because McDonalds dont have Camel testes on thier menu ?
Why ?

I'll tell you why, because Islam is out to " supersede " all of Man's evoulotion throughout the history of the world.
They have no clue how to assimilate because of the "rule all mentality " God is Great " teachings & gist of thier faith.
I bet if they behaved right Palastine would co exist with Israel & even if it didnt they have Jordon & 99 % of all the land in the region.
It's all a bunch of BS that they took this to America.
let me get off my soap box,

ISLAM

Alan, if you don't mind I would like to clarify your response as I don't think you mean all Muslims, only the ones who are cowardly enough to bastardize the writings in the Koran for their own politcal ends.

Please accept my apologies if I have made any incorrect assumptions.

RalphR....

I gotta believe in what your saying....because i was brought up not to be a bigot.
I find it intriguing though .....the connection that the muslim religon ,or at least a certain faction of it, has to such a vast amount of conflict all over the globe. right down to certain individuals like the traitor who rolled the grenades into his commanders tent in kuwait.....or the sniper last year in Va. or the guy who slit the greyhound bus drivers throat 2 yrs ago.

.....or the Black panthers.

i mean ya gotta admit ....there is a pattern here.

MUSLIMS-TERRORISM

Anthonyale,

No doubt there is a connection between Islam and terrorism but most Mulsims are good law-abiding citizens. Islam exists all over the world but most Islamic terrorists come from the Middle East. The Muslims in that part of the world have a gripe with the West because of Israel and their extreme nationalist and religious ideals about cultures not mixing and because of grudges they keep holding on to through the ages. So Muslim children born in the Middle East are ingrained with a hatred for anything not Muslim and it is learned from their parents and school teachers and other people in authority. They don't have a chance in some cases because their families and most ME governments don't want things to change.

Anyway my intent was to give the majority of the Muslim population the credit they deserve. As always a relatively small group of malcontents can give a black eye to an entire race and/or religious group with their actions. If anything as fisherpeople we know this to be true because in many cases we are labeled as loud, drunk, greedy, littering lowlifes within our own communities and we know that's not the case.

Just trying to keep Alan's fanny out of the fire.LOL!!!

God Bless America!!!

RalphFR, I was refering to the radicals

But one thing I'll tell you most of them were dancing in the streets when all of our fellow Americans were killed on Sept.11th. That speaks for something.
You dont see the Buddhsits, doing these acts or the followers of Hinduism, Taoism & the rest.
I think most Arabs other then Arab Americans hate us. I think most of thier views are radical. For example how many Arabs spoke out about the Sept. 11th attacks ?
& what do you think the Arab league thinks of operation "Iraqi Freedom " ?
Not much I bet. But having said that I'm sure theres many fine muslim's out there who would never be violent towards us.. @ least a couple thousand!

ARAB MUSLIMS

So I think we agree. It is more an Arab problem then a Muslim problem. It's just that most Arabs are Muslim.

Sadaam claims to be Muslim but him claiming to be a good Muslim is like Tony Soprano claiming to be a good Catholic. For people like this the end justifies the means and religion is just a weapon in the arsenal.

Ralph

p.s. Apologies to Soprano fans. I just call it as I see it.LOL!
