We are all Spaniards today.
Well, Jay -- your post succeeded in one thing. It brought all the usual apologists for terrorism out of the woodwork. I guess there are plenty of people even on this news group who somehow think terrorism is justified if it opposes the United States or its allies. No, just a few misguided souls. America will stand with Spain, and our other allies, in this bizarre religious/fascist war. I suspect my children will be fighting these stupid *******s for a long time to come, but eventually freedom will win out over oppression. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

America will stand with Spain, and our other allies, in this bizarre religious/fascist war. You know, it is that "and our other allies" part that bothers me. The infamous "either you are with us, or you are against us" BS. Reality is rarely black and white. Zapatero said he will withdraw his forces from Irak. Will you stand with Spain after that? Will the victims still deserve your sympathy? Or will the mother of that student who was blown to bits become your instant enemy? I suspect my children will be fighting these stupid *******s for a long time to come, but eventually freedom will win out over oppression. I hope so. What I don't know, is whose freedom will eventually win. |

The Islamofascists leave little wiggle room on this subject. As far as I'm concerned, the victims will always deserve our sympathy. All the more so after their government ceases to be our ally. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Freedom Alex, is exactly what the sole remaining superpower says it is. Unlike most Americans, I don't believe that everyone deserves it. Freedom has to be earned. I think a population has to be brave enough to overthrow their own despots. I think Jay is right about random bombers. Kill them all. Issue a new deck of terrorist cards and make those cards redeemable for large amounts of compensation when they are returned along with said terrrorist's head in a sack. well, and who makes the list and who makes one a terrorist? CIA? FBI? NATO? EU? Vatican?
