Frankly, our industrial base needs to get off its ass and invent a
technology to replace fossil fuels with something else. Once we are no longer dependent on oil, the sand dwellers will go back to their tents and the money will disappear. Let em go back to the 10th century where they belong. "Vandevere" wrote in message om... nt (Krztalizer) wrote in message ... (William Brennan) wrote: I've done a tremendous amount of research on the subject and found that beheadings, suicide bombings, driving airplanes into buildings, and all the rest of what the Muslims is doing is just as illegal as what the Americans are doing. ...so therefore the US is justified in its behavior, right? No, we'd be *justified* in beheading a few of the international jihadists. The problem here is that if we so much as smudge the honor of a Muslim, we get crucified, while Jihadists get a free pass on absolutely any type of murderous behavior. Justified? No - but why should we be treated as barbarians when our enemies torture and murder our people at will, and we respond with panties on their heads?? That's why I am convinced that the "war on terror" will eventually escalate into a last crusade, that will not end before some lunatic in the White House or in Sudan decides to "kill em all", taking a lot of us with them. Gordon That might very well be true. But, if we are better than "Them", as so many seem to be asserting, then we have to *BE* better than "Them"; no matter what "They" do... Strange and illogical, but part of our responsibility if we try to represent ourselve as having a higher moral code... Vandevere |
