Well, we differ in our assessment of the war, and I happen to be very concerned about the future of the world (i.e. terrorist activity), etc., but I think these differences of opinion between us are only important to us. I don't think the power guys care what we think until, as you say, election time, and then only briefly. Personally I think the world would be better served by a benevolent monarchy and I'm available.

darling I think I'm more suitable for the job. Having lived in the Muslim world and being very familiar with diverse cultures, including those from the Middle east, Africa, Mongolia, India and China I am far better placed to understand the needs of the people and will be able to rule justly and fairly.


BTW - my assessment of the war was based also on being in an Arabic country at the time of the war - and seeing how people reacted to what was happening. As my country was included in the coalition of thugs that invaded Iraq, and it was well known, I very rarely experienced any negative reactions on a personal level, however I met plenty of people who wanted to tell me that my government was wrong. And quite frankly if you had seen the media coverage that they did, you would understand how this war has fed divisions where none existed previously. Also, I had friends in Iraq before the war. Iraqi christians who were very much afraid, and feared the war and its outcome. People who, after the war, experienced far greater fear and increasing discrimination. Women who had never worn hijab in their life being afraid to leave their homes in western clothing.

I will never see the war as anything but a foolhardy and poorly planned escapade sold to the public for the wrong reasons, which has cost too many lives, created divisions, and brought about a previously unknown level of cynicism towards the US in countries around the globe. And not just Muslim ones, or among so called 'liberals' in western nations.

Read the book of Judges son, sometimes whole races have to be exterminated. It's God's plan.

Wait, weren't I the one that started this discussion.

Move on commie or start your own thread, or quit complaining like an old woman.

Another liberal mind reader. The things liberals THINK they know.

[quote=Rightisright;807984]While I don't mind hazardous objects being placed on the border to stop immigrants, killing them as a form of PUNISHMENT once they are apprehended when they do not pose a physical threat to anyone else is wrong. Do police normally arrest and execute people who trespass in your part of the world?

Someone should tell them that bad press can be prevented by not abusing prisoners in the first place. Censorship is only needed to preserve the good reputation of those who have tortured and/or murdered already.

You failed to answer my question. At the cost of your own life, would you detonate a bomb in a market place frequented by followers of the Islamic faith so that they can finally see the error of their ways?

Finally, someone asking a probing question and not trying to battle the 10 commanments.

Mississippi? Is that the state that has the welcome sign that says, "Welcome to Mississippi--Set your clock back 200 years?
