Heh... He's one "head" on a "Hydra" that practically encircles the world.
If you for one minute believe that his organization has been rendered
"ineffectual" you're even more naive than I thought.

*Exactly*. The US invaded Iraq *against* any formal sanction by the UN.
And for what?? "WMD"?? "Terrorists"??

Arafat has been a moderating influence. If nothing else, you have to
recognize that.

This is but one reason why you and I are different. I would never wish
death on anyone.

Who are we at war with?? What country is "Terrorism" exactly?

Let me put it this way... I'm against a war that has no clear objective, or
doesn't have an identifiable "enemy". Without either of the above, we're
sending our troops into another "meat grinder" and that, my friend, is just
plain wrong!

I sincerely doubt Congress has given one man such "sweeping powers". If
they ever do, then we're all in deep trouble.

Arguing for "truth, justice, and freedom" is treasonous?? What "planet" are
you from??

My father was first generation American. His father emigrated here from
Sweden. I'm second generation American and understand the difference
between the freedoms representative of our present way of life and the "dark
ages" you would want to put us back into. You espouse persecuting anyone
that's Arabic or Muslim because you equate these two groups (both seperately
and collectively) as "Terrorists", just as ****** equated anyone "Jewish"
with being an "enemy of the state".

I'd be happier in the knowledge that people with your extreme views are
never given a legitimate voice. I'm glad you're relegated to USENET where
you you can be categorized as a harmless "kook" and ignored at the touch of
a button.

The Constitution *defines* our nation. The Bill of Rights defines the way
we treat others. Without either, America would be ruled by the very people
you say you despise.
