Zawahiri Says America Must Negotiate With 'Real Powers' In Iraq

Well, then we can agree to disagree, Gunner. I think that wars are more likely to be avoided with a position of reason backed by strength. I am very far from believing the world is just "a-ok", but I don't believe that by acting as badly or worse than anyone else, we improve it. Self-righteousness is also not my issue; in factm the sickeningly self-righteous attitude that "it must be right because America did it" is what I have a serious probem with.

As well as that, considering there are a hell of a lot more Muslims than Americans, your attitude of "kill them all" isn't very practical. And your accusations of bloodthirst on the part of the Muslims when you then go on to advocate killing as many as possible is rather hypocritical.

It's a good thing you aren't here to debate, because you don't seem very good at it. You've got the unthinking macho chest-beating down, though. I guess we all have our strengths. It's unfortunate that yours seem to lie in areas that in no way contribute to the improvement of the species. I guess evolution misses people occasionally.

And I'm not here to debate!

As I might guess, I'll be one of those on the front line protecting you from yourself in your rightious selfbelef that the world is just a-ok. This is a culture class that has moved into blood letting hat there will never be peace until the last of th combattants are dead (I don't know about you, but I don't want to be the last guy) As I stated before, you don't talk to your enemy until he is ready to surrender. The more of them that you kill, the less of you that get killed. That's how wars are won.

gslinger, I wouldn't usually stoop to this level, but you are clearly a brainwashed nincompoop with all the cognitive skill of a dog-***. Congratulations on demonstrating so clearly why this country is far less than it could be.

Please never breed.

Gunnerv, you have yet to demonstrate any actual understanding of the overall situation, as opposed to limited personal or second-hand knowledge.

Being right on the scene, or having friends or family members involved, is likely to form emotional opinions. taken by itself, though, it doesn't impart knowledge, and honestly, your opinions read more as prejudice and anger. While those are understandable in the face of negative experience, they tend to blind people to the larger picture, which includes the global wrongdoing of the US, as well as the local wrongdoing of our enemies.

I won't suggest you shut up, as that is extremely rude. Nor will I presume to doubt that you lack knowledge. As of yet, however, you haven't displayed any.

I am speaking about "ALL of ISLAM" And I speak from the experance of my Deceased Father who worked in Saudi Arabia for 25 years until he retired in '86 and a personal friend who was injured on the USS COLE and my time in Somila. Now if you cna come up with some "Been There" time, I suggest you shut up.

You brainless left wing radical Liberals just do not have a clue. This is the real world we are faced with, President Bush has done a wonderful job protecting your a$$es from these animals, but, you will never admit this simply because you hate the man. You have let your hatred sway your incompotent minds into wanting him out more than wanting whats best for this world you live in.

THANK YOU president Bush for standing on principal and not caving for the weak do nothing stance that the Liberals would have you to do!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!

Gunnerv, are you referring to the Iran Hostage Crisis? Hate to burst your bubble, but Iraq was not involved in that. In fact, at that time they were at war with Iran, and receiving US funding ...

Things are more complicated than you or George Bush would like to believe, I'm afraid. If you actually want to get down to single root causes (not that their actually is one single cause) the US and Great Britain started this current mess with their post WWII mid-East policies, most particularly depriving the Palestinians of their country so that the Jews could have it. Or, if you want to go back further, the Crusade (that is, invasion) to "re-take" Jerusalem (despite the fact that it happened never to have been a European holding in the first place) may have started it.

If your view of history only goes back to 1979, and you can't even get the facts straight about that short period, I'm afraid you're underinformed.

"They" "actively" started this war 27 years ago with th U.S.

[jimibear]

Well, gunnerv, maybe it's that attitude that made them "the enemy" in the first place. Ever think of that?
