Quoted message said:Quoted message said:If [censored] had stopped his aggression with the annexation of the
Sudetenland, he would have gone down in history as the greatest German
statesman of all time. He would now be revered in Germany which would
totally dominate all of central Europe. Unfortunately for Germany, WW II
intervened as a result of the invasion of Poland.
Unfortunately for Germany, [censored] was an insane megalomaniac.
I do not much care for explanations that ascribe insanity to heads of
nations. Actually, it is not possible to become a head of state without
being totally sane. Evil exists in this world and there is nothing insane
about it. The Muslim terrorists are not insane either. That is precisely
why they are so dangerous.

Quoted message said:Quoted message said:The War on Terrorism may well turn out to be a 50 year war, kind of like
the Cold War all over again.
You can't fight a war with an enemy you can't see or who won't follow
established military rules of engagment. That includes the Geneva
Convention for the fair treatment of POW's.
This War on Terrorism is something new under the sun. I think it is going
to be a very prolonged kind of warfare. It will be a protracted conflict.
Eventually it will have to be won on the ideological level. Islam as it
exists presently in the world can not be allowed to continue.
And you call me a "screwball"...
Quoted message said:It must be reformed.
Heh... Islam doesn't need reforming. They have their "Jim Jones" and
"David Koresh's" too.
Quoted message said:What makes the situation so untenable is the possibility that these Muslim
terrorists could get their hands on nuclear weapons. Otherwise it would
not amount to a hill of beans.
I don't think we have anything to fear on that score. After all we're going
to partner with Canada for the North American Missile Defense System...
Quoted message said:
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:The danger the Terrorists represent is that they could get their hands
on nuclear weapons any number of ways which would create a whole new
ball game for the West and civilization in general.
I agree. The problem with global terrorism is that it's just that.
Global. Timothy McVeigh was a US Citizen and a terrorist. As far as I
know he wasn't a "Muslim".
McVeigh had no backing whatsoever. Therefore he was not in the least bit
dangerous to civilization. He was just another common criminal. It is
ideological backing which makes Islamic terrorism something that we have
to take seriously.
Better to put our money in the war on drugs. We certainly aren't going to
be able to stop someone bent on immolating themselves (and taking as many
innocent people with him as he can).

Quoted message said:How?? Terrorism is *global*. Your next-door-neighbor may well be a
terrorist and you wouldn't even know until one day he decided to blow
your block to "Kingdom Come".
You are confused and muddled on this. The enemy is very specific and can
be targeted like any enemy.
Heh... Yup... and a fat lot of good it's been "targeting" Usama Bin
Laden...
Quoted message said:The enemy is Islamic extremism which is to be found almost exclusively in
the Middle East.
There are a whole lot of people with grudges against the US. What makes a
person an "extremist"?? Perhaps we should be looking at our own involvment
in the "process"...
Quoted message said:[...]
Quoted message said:Wrong. The Quran teaches tolerance of others and respect for their
beliefs. A few "clerics" have decided otherwise. You should read it
sometime.
Islam has never been reformed.
Neither has "Christianity".
Quoted message said:It is a religion of simple primitive people who have no sophistication
whatsoever.
So is Christianity. I find it amazing that you would think like this. My
mistake. I thought you were an itellectual. You're proving to be nothing
more than a crackpot.
Quoted message said:You are just ignorant on the Muslim religion.
I've read the Quran. You obviously haven't. To condemn an entire faith
based on supposition and heresay puts you in the same league as [censored]'s
minions... Let's throw them all in concentration camps.
Quoted message said:The only cure for it is to read history, not the g.d. Koran.
History is written by the victors.
Quoted message said:[...]
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Thank God we have leaders in the US who know what is at stake and are
doing something about it.
What have "they" done, exactly?? Over-run a sovereign State because they
didn't like the "politics"?? There certainly were no WMD's anywhere.
The US foreign policy has been one of "hot and cold", "pro and con".
"Mixed messages" make for poor foreign policy.
To think that we could ever get a handle on Islamic terrorism without
taking out Sadaam's Iraq is just plain insane. You sir are a screwball.
Heh... Sure... and while we're over there, let's take out Iran, Turkey,
and Pakistan (the only Islamic nation *with* nuclear capability). Oh I
forgot. We haven't quit "finished" off Afganistan.
Quoted message said:
For years the US supported the Shah
Quoted message said:of Iran and were one of the first to vilify him as a criminal when world
opinion turned against him. Imelda has a closet full of shoes purchased
with US dollars. What exactly was Vietnam about anyhow??
We should have supported the Shah against the clerics.
Uh-huh... And continued to sponsor State Terrorism... Or did you miss that
part in the history of Iran??
Quoted message said:Iran would be a hundred times better off if we had.
The rich would have gotten richer and the rest would have...
Quoted message said:The Shah was bent on reforming and Westernizing Iran.
Horse-twaddle. The Shah was the mirror of Saddam Hussein. Only he wasn't
elected.
Quoted message said:The g.d. crazy clerics took Iran back to the Middle Ages.
There will always be people that interpret the Bible in a literal sense.
It's when these select few "in power" decide what's "good" and who's "bad"
that we genuinely have to fear. Our ancestors fought for our freedoms and
it's up to us to preserve them. I don't think Bush has done a very good job
at it. He's covered up and outright lied about the reason for invading
another sovereign State. Clinton was lousy as well. We need statesmen the
likes of Roosevelt, Pitt, Disraeli, Ghandi, and Churchill. These men had
integrity, honesty, and embraced new ideas. They also had vision, something
that's sadly lacking in the White House.
Quoted message said:
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Just sitting around and wringing your hands, the Clinton-Kerry liberal
modus operandi, is not going to solve anything.
Quoted message said:And declaring "war" on "ghosts" and "phantoms" will accomplish what??
We need to hunt down and kill these Islamic terrorists in the interests of
US security and in the interests of Western civilization.
Go for it. Make sure the person you're about to kill *is* a Terrorist
before you pull the trigger though...
Quoted message said:Why the hell don't you go to Iran and try to live there if you think it is
in any way superior to Western civilization.
Where did I say that?? Of all the "Muslim" nations, why on earth would I
pick Iran to live in?? Bahrain is much nicer. So is Turkey.
Quoted message said:
I am fed up with g.d. liberals who will not defend this country and who
will not defend Western civilization against the barbarians.
Newsflash... There are "barbarians" among us.
Quoted message said:Screw you all the way to hell and back, you treasonous [censored], a traitor
not only to America but a traitor to Christendom and to Western
Civilization (one and the same).
You know absolutely nothing about me. Sorry if I don't "toe the party
line". I had no idea expressing an opinion that was the least contrary to
your own would condemn me as a "traitor". Christ taught us to "love" each
other and I seem to recall there's a Comandment about "not killing one
another" too... Seems to me your "version" of Christianity is a bit
"skewed" there buddy.
