    I don't know what this has to do with cycling, but.....

    As far as comparing this to any other war, what are you
    going to compare it with? WW2? LOL Please. This is not a
    war, it is an invasion to put someone in power to deal with
    us on oil. If you don't see that you are blind my friend. We
    couldn't deal with Sadaam, so we overthrew their government
    and are going to put someone in office that will deal with
    us. What is even more sad than that is that we have very
    young American and other countries solders getting killed
    for this. It makes me sick!

    Now, you of course mention Hamas blowing up a bunch of kids
    on a school bus to get people on your side or whatever. What
    if you were one of the many Palestinians that had his home
    bulldozed by "the modern day [censored]" Sharon? If the Jews
    didn't invade land that wasn't theirs, maybe there would be
    no problems. I also find it interesting that we somehow
    justify a tank blowing things up, but when a person blows
    himself up in protest and kills people, that is terrorism.
    The Israelis have killed many Palestinian children as well.
    Of course they say it was accidental fire or some such
    nonsense. The US arms the Israeli's to the teeth and they
    have superpower weaponry and the Palestinians have sticks
    and stones in comparison. This doesn't mean that a tank is
    less terroistic than a person blowing themselves up. To be
    honest, I feel that if the Israelis didn't take over peoples
    land/homes and make it impossible for people to live, we may
    not have such a problem over there. Of course the Jews have
    a big lobby in this country and they own Bush.. Now that we
    have Bush in office he is making this thing a huge mess and
    spending countless money on his oil interest. Just think how
    much research could have been done with the billions he is
    spending on this so called war if he put his efforts in
    finding alternative fuel. If we didn't rely on the oil, we
    would have no reason to be over there. Well, that would be
    thinking into the future and not the present, so that will
    never happen.

    On good thing came out of this however. The idiots driving
    their H2's are spending more money on gas. Not that they
    care probably. I mean they are not very bright if they feel
    the need to drive a barge that weighs 6000 lbs.

    Who knows, maybe some people will get tired of paying so
    much at the pump and start riding bicycles more. If you
    believe that, then I may have a bridge to sell you.

    Enjoy, Curt

    We needn't go any further than this. Let's try to explain
    this in words of one syllable so that you can understand it.
    This war IS about oil. But not OUR "control" of it but the
    free flow of it so that it isn't enriching a dictator who
    will use it to fund terrorism to retain his own power.

    What has terrorism to do with it you ask? (Not that someone
    with so little intelligence as you would EVER ask.) Internal
    strife has been used by Arab leaders since the time of
    Mohammed himself to turn the eyes of the fedayeen away from
    their corrupt leadership and to allow corrupt mullahs and
    sheiks to hold onto their own power.

    But a simple perusal of history seems to have been beyond
    your powers of comprehension.

    If this war was about a free flow of oil that wasn't
    enriching a dictator who uses to fund terrorism, then we'd
    be invading Saudi Arabia instead of Iraq.

    Where is Osama bin Laden from? Saudi Arabia. Where were 14-
    15 of the 9-11 terrorists from? Saudi Arabia. Where does
    most of Al Qaeda's funding come from? Saudi Arabia.

    So why are we invading Iraq?

    Check gwu.eduNSAEBB82 ...
    Why look! That's Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with
    Saddam Hussein!

    "Trying to eliminate Saddam, extending the ground war
    into an occupation of Iraq, would have violated our
    guideline about not changing objectives in midstream,
    engaging in "mission creep," and would have incurred
    incalculable human and political costs. Apprehending him
    was probably impossible. We had been unable to find
    Noriega in Panama, which we knew intimately. We would
    have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule
    Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the
    Arabs deserting it in anger and other allies pulling out
    as well. Under those circumstances, furthermore, we had
    been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for
    handling aggression in the post-cold war world. Going in
    and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the
    U.N.'s mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of
    international response to aggression we hoped to
    establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could
    conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly
    hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different--
    and perhaps barren--outcome." -- Former President George
    H.W. Bush, Time Magazine, 2 March 1998.

    achieved that in spades.

    I really don't know where to begin? I mean you are so off
    base, it would be hard to find a place to start. I really
    don't think you have any concept of what is taking place
    over there at all. You make it sound like there are people
    being forced to strap bombs on themselves and blow people
    up. Do you know the Palestinians call those people heroes? I
    am sure that sounds outrageous to you, but you are too blind
    to notice that all sides call their solders heroes. I don't
    think you comprehend that the Palestinian people have no
    force at all. Israel is in total control. I wonder if you
    would like to have your home run over by a tank and then
    know there is absolutely nothing you can do. You can not
    fight back because you are completely outmatched. You are
    just a slave to what the Israeli's want to do and as we all
    know Israelis are just expanding their land and tearing down
    Palestinian's homes and building Jewish settlements. Do you
    know what kind of leader is in Israel? He was a former hit
    man. Oh yeah, and we back him. I can't imagine why we are
    hated by Palestinians and much of the Arab world? I guess
    everyone just hates us for no reason. In truth we are
    bulldozing those homes, because we supply Israel with tons
    of funding and let them do what they want.

    You need to get a clue. It is apparent you cannot put
    yourself in someone else's position.

    You are distorted to say the least. Curt

    It's certain that the militant ones and Palestinians
    that're shoved into the "refugee camps" probably do
    think like that. But it's interesting to note that in
    areas of Israel where the Israeli govt. is not seizing
    land, olive orchards, etc., they actually get on rather
    well. How to get them all to behave like that? That's a
    tough one, but the settlements and wall building ending
    would be a start...

    Sharon? What the hell has he to do with anything? Do you
    suggest that Israel is doing the wrong thing by killing
    the leaders of a group who have been strapping explosives
    onto women and children to set them off in hordes of
    innocent shoppers?

    Tom look back at his record in the earlier wars, they
    read like an Nazi SD training manual. I think Israel was
    perfectly justified in targeting and killing the
    militant leaders since they have the complete protection
    of Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon at a minimum and the UN
    will never try a Palestinian militant for crimes against
    humanity. <snip>

    Do you forget that one of the prime commandments of
    Mohammed after he entered Medina was "kill all Jews".
    Followed shortly by "the way to heaven is to kill all
    unbelievers."

    That's obviously in a Koran I haven't read, or the
    histories of the Arab Peoples that I have here in the
    house. The Arabs were actually incredibly tolerant up
    until the crusaders showed up.

    I'll bet it comes from (directly or otherwise) an
    editorial by Falwell, which is filled with misquoted,
    misattributed and generally botched quotes from the
    Koran. This editorial has made the rounds a bunch of anti-
    Muslim sites and via people like Coulter.

    Example: "Slay the enemy where you find him." (Surah
    9:92).

    Surah 9:92 actually says : Nor (is there blame) on those who
    came to thee to be provided with mounts, and when thou
    saidst, "I can find no mounts for you," they turned back,
    their eyes streaming with tears of grief that they had no
    resources wherewith to provide the expenses .

    Heather that was nice of you, but I really don't mind when
    someone talks like this. They most likely see sense in what
    I had to say and are just angry that I brought it up. They
    are just shouting and not saying anything.

    I am of course angry at what is going on. To be honest I am
    sick that people are dieing for greed. I will say
    this...this group overall is pretty well read on some of
    this. It does make me happy. Maybe we can have a changing of
    the guard in the US. Well, I like to think we have a chance
    to get Bush out of there, but the NASCAR fans are many and

  17. Just out of curiosity how is it that you and a couple of
    others insist on citing opinion and rumor as fact?

    And I noted that since the Saud royal family consists of
    some 5,000+ members. And I asked you if you're responsible
    for what your relatives do. Your answer, as far as I can
    make out, is that anything they do, the King is
    responsible for. Strange that somehow Clinton was never
    responsible for anything.

    Perhaps if you narrow your vision even more you can then
    blame your next door neighbor since he's closer to Osama Bin
    Laden than you are.

    That's obviously in a Koran I haven't read, or the
    histories of the Arab Peoples that I have here in the
    house. The Arabs were actually incredibly tolerant up
    until the crusaders showed up.

    This must be some form of tolerance with which I'm not
    familiar: In fact under the Prophet, war was made against
    ALL of their neighboring tribes. Islam was spread especially
    during it's early stages by the sword. The fact is that when
    someone is about to cut your throat and all you have to do
    to save yourself is to recite, "There is no God but Allah
    and Mohammad is his Prophet" you are likely to have a very
    high conversion rate. They conquered by the sword Persia and
    Demascus among many, many others. They captured by force and
    ruled over the greater part of Spain.

    They argued among themselves for the power and murdered each
    other in fits of jealously. Shi'ite and Sunni split under
    such a situation and they murdered each other to this very
    day. The Ottoman Turks took the religion to heart since it
    gave them permissoin to murder everyone in their way which
    they proceeded to achieve. Ask the

    (Quraysh were a group of powerful Meccans) From "The Life of
    Muhammad", page 212, by A. Guillaume: " When Quraysh became
    insolent towards God and rejected His gracious purpose,
    accused His prophet of lying, and ill treated and exiled
    those who served Him and proclaimed His unity, believed in
    His prophet and held fast to His religion, He gave
    permission to His apostle to fight and to protect himself
    against those who wronged them and treated them
    badly......[a] The meaning is "I have allowed them to fight
    only because they have been unjustly treated while their
    sole offense against men has been that they worship God.
    When they are in the ascendant they will establish prayer,
    pay the poor-tax, enjoin kindness, and forbid iniquity,
    i.e., the prophet and his companions all of them." Then God
    sent down to him: "Fight them so that there be no more
    seduction," [b] i.e. until no believer is seduced from his
    religion. "And the religion is God's,", i.e. Until God alone
    is worshipped.""

    (If you read that again especially note: "Until God alone
    is worshipped." which was the permission given to kill ALL
    non-believers. What was the difference between the extreme
    persecution that Mohammed put up with while living in Mecca
    and that persecution which he would NOT put up with after
    he moved to Medina? That fact that he then had,
    essentially, an army.)

    From Guillaume, page 369: "The apostle said, "Kill any Jew
    that falls into your power." Thereupon Muhayyisa b. Masud
    leapt upon Ibn Sunayna, a Jewish merchant with whom they had
    social and business relations, and killed him. Huwayyisa was
    not a Muslim at the time though he was the elder brother.
    When Muhayyisa killed him Huwayyisa began to beat him,
    saying, 'You enemy of God, did you kill him when much of the
    fat on your belly comes from his wealth?' Muhayyisa
    answered, 'Had the one who ordered me to kill him ordered me
    to kill you I would have cut your head off.'"

    Sunan of Abu Dawud, Book 19, Number 2996:

    "The Apostle of Allah said: If you gain a victory over the
    men of Jews, kill them."

    (You'll have to forgive me if I take "religion of peace"
    with a grain of salt.)

    Take this little incident from Mohammad's life for instance:
    "The shepherd and the Muslim man both identified themselves
    as members of the same Arab clan. Prior to going asleep, the
    shepherd said that he would never become a Muslim. Umayya
    waited for the shepherd to fall asleep, and thereafter:

    "as soon as the badu was asleep and snoring I got up
    and killed him in a more horrible way than any man has
    been killed. I put the end of my bow in his sound eye,
    then I bore down on it until I forced it out at the
    back of his neck."

    Umayya returned and spoke with Muhammad. He
    relates......."He [Muhammad] asked my news and when I told
    him what had happened he blessed me".

    (Can you imagine a priest blessing a follower for this?)

    Since you have a Holy Ku'ran in the house look this up:

    "Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter
    day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have
    prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, of the people
    of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing
    submission and feel themselves subdued."

    "The people of the Book" are Christians and Jews who hav
    ethe Bible. "Jizya" was some sort of tax placed against
    Christians and Jews alone.

    And even this wouldn't save Christians or Jews save only a
    minority of the time.

    Remember that the Bukari is the second book next to the
    Holy Ku'ran

    "I heard Allah's messenger saying, "During the last days
    there will appear some young foolish people, who will say
    the best words, but their faith will not go beyond their
    throats (i.e. they will leave the faith) and will go out
    from their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So,
    wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them
    shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection."

    (From ABC news)

    U.S. troops will leave Saudi Arabia when Islamic terrorists
    "send the bodies of American troops and civilians home in
    wooden boxes and coffins," Osama Bin Ladin vowed in an
    exclusive interview with ABC NEWS Correspondent John Miller.
    "We don't differentiate between those dressed in military
    uniforms and civilians. They are all targets in this fatwa."

    What does Iraq have to do with terrorism?

    After some of your other postings I should have expected
    that. In fact, Iraq funded and was funding terrorism all
    over the world. Hamas was getting funding as was Abu Nidal
    and many many others. Even in the throes of defeat Saddam
    Hussein was paying off UN officials with as much as
    $6,000,000,000 American to look the other way while he
    spread terror still wider.

    Why is it that you don't have any idea of what oil means?
    You drive a car, fly in a plane and ride on boats. You heat
    your house, demand air conditioning in your place of
    business or school and want your food well cooked, fresh and
    plentiful.

    But apparently you are incapable of connecting your own
    gluttony to oil. Nor to the power that such oil revenues
    give to dictators who would abuse those riches.

    No, silly child, we don't want their oil. But we do want it
    to be freely available to everyone without giving excesses
    of power to evil. To you Iraq wasn't evil despite the
    hundreds of thousands tortured to death.

    Since you don't understand it perhaps you ought to just
    leave the worrying to adults and crawl back into your crib.
