Neocon bastards! Stupid weasels and their dumb puppet G.W. Bush! I say take them all out of power, it's about time for a revolution and the likes of bush, mccain, clinton, cheney, and the rest of them have got to go. The deserve prison for these infringements.
"A dirty bomb that will render New York too radio active for human habitation for the better part of 50 years"
My, my; this sounds as bad as bird flu and Sadam's so called "weapons of mass destruction", but both these threats were played-up. Fearmongering is never conducive to a solution. You must understand your enemy before you can win the battle.
Anyway, thenewsfarm, I wish you the best; I am not angry with you, I just am tired of the same fallicious errors of reasoning that try for a solution, but do not look at the last 60 years of foreign policy and the actual events that surrounded 9-11, in order to trully understand the problem and therefore derive a solution. So many of us see what is on the news and don't delve any deeper, but most problems have long histories and are not as new as we think.
Unemployment in Saudi Arabia at %40. Corrupt monarchs have a fleet of yachts. Their constituents spend their days in Mosques absorbing Anti U.S/Christian preaching. A Muslim school in Virginia under F.B.I investigation for preaching hatred. Saudi embassy in funding. Fear mongering?
By fearmongering I meant the belief that we have to give up liberty to fight enemies. Old Ben said that those who give up liberty to obtain security deserve and get niether.
Something leads me to believe that should your hometown be bombarded, you would whisk your dear ones to the nearest shelter as instructed by your government. If so, be reminded that just compromised your very own civil liberties for your very own survival. How egotistical...
Pakistan is disintegrating as Bahuto is killed. Civil war may ensue, 60 nuclear warheads and the missiles to launch may be up for grabs. Pakistani Secret Service sympathizes with the Taliban. Pakistan borders Iran & Afghanistan to name a few. Fear mongering anyone? False alarm? Paranoia?
Abe Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus during the civil war
F.D.R the great champion of civil liberties issued full censorship on all media during WW2. This is war. Better be alive than enjoy civil liberties in a coffin !
King Abe was a tyrant with the only goal of creating a strong centralized government! He said that if he could: "keep the union together without freeing one slave, I would." This is a direct quote from one of this letters ---the point of the "civil war" or as it was called at the time, the "war of seccession," was to eliminate the right of the states to seceed from the union and to create a strong centralized state.
Rather have my kids alive and kicking if somewhat compromising their civil liberties (on a temporary basis) than perfectly liberated in a coffin...but hey that is just me...
The problem with the founding fathers is that they could not have foreseen future existential threats to their beloved homeland. Human evolution keeps evolving. Laws and sacred principals must evolve too. The survival of the fetus trumps all. I want my kids by my side rather than in a cemetery
On the contrary, the more I study the quotes of the founders, the more I am convinced that they forsaw everything with an uncanny clarity and exactness. This was because they had studied and witnessed history, for history repeats itself. Man, in his essential nature, is unchanging.
For the founders understood that there is a tendecy for some who are in power to profit from war, and that when war is entered into indiscriminately, it tends to be entered into continually and to no profit for either of the nations who participate in it.
Entire GNP of all Muslim countries equals Spain's. Most oil is Muslim. Unemployment is insane. What gives? Better blame U.S. and tiny Israel than yourself. Europe welcomers, understands and supports Arabs yet enjoys record high terror threats and Muslim resentment. How come?
History never experienced suicide bombers with a dirty bomb that will render New York too radio active for human habitation for the better part of 50 years. How exactly could have good old Benjamin Franklin foreseen that?
Terrorism is a tatic, not an enemy. Terrorists are enemies. Terrorists are seldom individuals working alone. They must have support from terrorist organizations such as hamas, hezbola, al-queida, etc. These organization's main tool is recruitment. And the main recruitment tool which they have is our foreign occupation of their lands. That certainly does not justify their actions, but try telling them that!!! Part-1
Part 2 - Washington told us to stay clear of entangling alliances, yet we did not listen to him. That is why we where friends with Sadam - before we where his enemies; and why we where friends with Iran - before we where there enemies; and friends with the Taliban - before we where their enemies; and friends with Bin Laden - before we where his enemy; and with Russia - before we where their enemy- no, wait, now we're friends again; and with Cuba - before we where their enemies.
Is it just me, or are we creating our own enemies through our stupidity, stubbornness, ignorance, and disregard for the original intent of the Constitution and the founders? "We have met the enemy...and it is us!! [Our own ignorance and pride]"
A tree that has no elasticity will fall at first storm. Welcome to Evolution 101. People/nations and nature keep evolving. We must adapt to the times. War justifies a state of emergency to better protect the fetus. Democracy survived F.D.R's and Lincoln's rude suspension of liberties. So yes it is just you ...
We are still reeling in suffering from F.D.R.'s unamerican socialistic ideas today. Apparently he believed that having American imitate Nazi and Old Soviet socialism was the best way to fight this tyranny?
The government knows how to run wars and collect taxes. All the rest must be left for the free market to deal with. Since we are in the middle of a global war on terror, we must let the government do whatever it takes to protect us and enable us to criticize and demonize our leaders...
Low & behold... even F.D.R realized that in order to "initiate Nazi & Soviet Socialism" in the U.S. he must temporarily censor all media and intern Japanese Americans . Somehow his Socialistic ideas survived his unconstitutional breach of civil liberties. Go figure...
Welcome to global politics 101. There is no vacuum. You boycott Iraq-China, France and Russia fill the void. France and Germany befriended Sadam on an intimate basis. Hindsight is always 20/20. U.S.S.R collapsed because of Reagan/Star Wars. Their economy simply collapsed. Very simple
Arab Muslims geocode Non-Arab Muslims in Sudan. Indonesia (most populous Muslim country) systematically starved 250,000 East Timoreans to death. Russia butchered 100,000 Muslim Chechens Where is Hezbolah, Hamas and Al Keida when you need theme?...
