FCA from JP - welcome aboard!

Bombing "Muslim Countries"?

How about waging war on those that have declared war on us? Do you think this is a holy war? Is chasing terrorists now a religous issue versus a political ideology that the terrorists had just 15 years ago? The terrorists then were not "Muslim" but they were Terrorists. And they got chased down too. Although some may be employed by Brown U. These are extremists, not your everday Muslim. Half of the leaders are probably just meglomainiacs that use "Religion" and "Jihad" as an EXCUSE to pursue and gain the power they want.

I do not see it as bombing "Muslim Countires", I see it as honoring the threat placed against us.

While I'm not a big fan of the first strike doctrine, if sufficient evidence exists, I will support it case by case (not that anyone calls me for my opinion ). Sitting around "waiting" for the sky to fall is not a good idea...

That's my story and I'm....

I'm all for taking him out too. The only thing that bothers me is the aftermath.I know we're gonna end up rebuilding Iraq without much help from the rest of the world.We've done this in europe and japan, and what do we get for it - just competition. I don't get it.
I really wish we were good enough to get these leaders through some covert navy seal type operation.Get the dirty dozen back in action, but I guess we don't have much choice - and it certainly has to be dealt with. Dan Rather should have taken Saddam out when he had the chance - would,ve been a cool way to end his career.

I think it is a troll but its actually a question that is uttered on the news all the time these days so I guess it deserves to be addressed with peoples opinions.

My opinion is that these terrorists didn't care if you were Christian Muslim or Jew in the World Trade center. They just wanted to kill people in the USA. You got to put a stop to that. In fact , maybe you got to do it in a real horrible fashion just to make an example of what happens if you would seek to kill innocent Americans. Too much Mr Nice Guy on our part IMO.

My only concern about what we are doing is why are we waiting and why are we even concerned about the rest of the world's opinion. They attacked the USA , not France or Russia. Who cares what they think?? Lets just go , get it over with in a decisive fashion so we don't have to worry about it again for 100 years.

Just an eduacted speculation, John, but it has all the marks....1st post, quite controversial (though I must admit, I do not TOTALLY disagree with him), no response since.....etc.

And if it is a student, he is either very dumb or very smart.....

The biggest problem I see is what do we do about the estimated 20 other countries that are supposed to get a bomb within five years?

Oh, and Duke, to expound on John's definition.....they come in one of two types......"hit and runs" that post and then sit back and laugh, or experienced guys that know just how to get under someone's skin in sutble ways, and then sit back and laugh, but then, after it plays out a bit, come back for the "kill".

The later are a lot more fun..... (okay, in a sick sort of way....)

I don't really appreciate having my IP address checked.

What if 20 crazy American fundametalists blew up something in China killing 10,000 people and causing massive damage.

Would it be appropriate for China to attack the US?

I like fishing!!!

I don't want American Servicemen risking their lives for this cause. I don't want anybody to die over our leaders' possible decision to attack Iraq. I question the motives for the war.

If there was a solid connection between the 9-11 terrorists (a few hundred hateful people) and Iraq (tens of millions of innocent people), don't you think we would have heard about it.

If we are worried about terrorism against the United States, attacking Iraq is the last thing we should do (short term or long term). The CIA and FBI say this over and over again.

I think that the powers that be are willing to let the American public be distracted by war and terrorism while they subjugate the rest of the world econimcally with the use of military force. I think that the very wealthy people who govern this country care more about lining their own pockets than they do about you or I (forget about people overseas).

I think education, health care, and corporate reform (or the last thereof) will have a much greater impact on the quality of life of people in this country than Saddam.

Does anybody agree with me?

I like fishing!!!

Going and watching the 9-11 tapes is exactly what those who support the war want.

It is hard to make a rational decision in the face of such powerful emotion.

Is going to War going to make anybody's life better?

Will it make us safer?
