Political Jabbering

[RIJIMMY]

Good post Dave, truthfully, I do take it seriously. I REALLY like to debate and read others views. I may take a strong stance , just to get opinions out there. I am troubled by some of teh viewpoints from people who appear to be rational and intelligent. I think this anti-Bush focused view that is evident in peoples post is a sampling of the country. An although it may be accurate, I belevie that the REAL threat of islamic terrorism is being overlooked as fear mongering sponsored by the Bush adminstration. I beleive that my family and way of life is threatened by people who want to kill me, veryday, everywhere I go. I do not live in fear ar all, but I want to make sure my government is doing EVERTHING it can to protect my way of life. We are WAY to Dem vs. Repub and we are losing sight of the real issues. Sorry fro the rant.

Thanks for making my point.

Not really. Sorry to be so preachy but I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding as to why Islamic terrorim exists.

From OBL
The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies — civilians and military — is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque [Mecca] from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim.

Every Muslim, from the moment they realize the distinction in their hearts, hates Americans, hates Jews and hates Christians. For as long as I can remember, I have felt tormented and at war, and have felt hatred and animosity for Americans

I can paste pages, I dont need to UNDERSTAND why.

And without historical context they would be pretty meaningless.

Bin Laden doesn't hate Americans for some silly or religious reason like our freedoms etc... His anger is because of how he percieves our policy negatively impacts the Islamic world.

If not for religious reasons then why is Islam cited in every single communication from Bin Laden and every other Islamic Terrorist? You actually believe its clear logic that drives him? Sorry we dont buy it.

The most relevant point is it exists.

If you don't know why it exists how can you defeat it?

I had a hornets nest under my pool cabana eaves. I dont know why they chose to build there, but I killed them and they are gone. If they come back I will kill them again.
