quote: I would like to point out that sponsoring terrorists for attacks against the Western World does constitute an immediate threat.

And yet American citizens have sponsored terrorism in Northern Ireland for, what, 30 odd years now? And there's been no repercussions forthem; does that mean it's ok for a private individual to sponsor terrorism?
quote:And do not try to insinuate that Japan and Islamic attacks are different, they were both designed to make America not get involved. Another common thing is that they both failed.
Uh... no, actually. The Pearl Harbour attck was designed to prevent the US joining in by eliminating the carrier force. The September 11th and other attcks by Islamist terrorists are designed to eliminate America.Remember, they believe that the US struck first with 'cultural imperialism' and what they see as oppression of Muslim countries.

The_Tom: I guess I am not done stacking 'stupidity' in this thread....
TSN: Convicted killers mostly, we do hope mistakes weren't made, compared to disagreeing with the dictator or being of a different religion. I see this as very comparable, indeed I do....
Wraith: Yes, preventing the invasion of ideas like being able to call your leader a fucking dink, without getting shot. If I recall reading or seeing a news report that said if the US would unconditionally convert to the Islamic religion all terrorist attacks would stop.
Does anyone have any memory of this report? I can't seem to find the dang thing.

Ritten: This might be that article you refer to. It's actually one of those al-Qaeda threats, the one that said "expect us in New York and Washington." About half way down, under the "Related articles" box, there is a paragraph saying "the message ended with a call for Americans to convert to Islam."

Can you do that in the US?

LOL. That's likely. i saw a post on some board or other from a Muslim saying that it would be better if we infidels allowed Muslims to be in charge as Islam had a place for us. The arrogance was almost as bad as certain Americans.

Veers, no, there was an older one that I am thinking of, that expressly said, convert and all will be well woith the world. Of course, the big war machines would be useless, as we'd all be running around blowing each other up with suicide bombers.
mmm, yes, I could call Bush a fucking dink, and, almost think he is, but he's starting to prove himself a capable individual. I'll see what he can do to help the economy, since I don't hold the Pres responsible to fix it. I don't like part of his plan, but heck, I'd be a yes man if I did.
