When Islam was about 35 years they sacked Alexandria. The Library there didn't conform. I think that they may have given themselves up right out of the box...
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
Thomas Paine
The end of the world has been comming since the start of the world. Religion has caused as many wars as politics, because people don't ever see the other side, the world is a chaotic place, always has been.
Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better idiot.
It was written in the bible 1000's of years ago that all armys will meet in the middle east (not to exchange fishing spots). I can't say enough.... if everyone practiced their faith this would be a far better world. As far as I know no faith says kill. IMO it wrong to blame religion or God for mans ignorance. Praying for peace is a good idea.
Good for us - that's our kind of war.
Any kind of war where we know where the enemy is and we do not to be concerned about collateral damage we can win in short order.
That's why we are faced with a war of terrorism, of improvised explosive devices, and of subversion. Its why the Iranians want the bomb. It's not because they are cowards - far from it. It's because the Republican Guard did not last a day on the battlefield.
Israel will bomb the crap out of Iran if they even have a sniff of the bomb.We gave them F-16 Fighting Falcons for their defense.It was our F-4 Phantoms that won the six day war,remember?
