And how many american kids have willingly given their lives for some christian extemists who like oil? Their reward is "glory". What ever that is. HAL, Carlyle Group, and Blackwater thank you for your martyerdom.
christian extremists my ass. I suspecte bush is a fake christian/ freemason following his skull and bones eastern establishment dad. I do not think you are correct in labeling the neocons extreme christians, you might even have the wrong religion.
What are your thoughts on Darfur? No WMD's there. Should we entertain helping the people who are being slaughtered there much like the Kurds were being slaughtered in Iraq? Should we even care about these people? There isn't even oil involved in that region which gives us even less incentive right? Or is saving millions of people from tyranny a noble endeavor? I think it is noble. You can argue whehther you think Iraq is a noble endeavor, but I wonder if you will actually address the situation in Darfur and whether that too is a conflict we should get involved in. Here are a couple of notes on Iraq as well that we don't really get to see: Did you know that 47 countries' have reestablished their embassies in Iraq? Did you know that the Iraqi government currently employs 1.2 million Iraqi people? Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under rehabilitation, 263 new schools are now under construction and 38 new schools have been completed in Iraq? Did you know that Iraq's higher educational structure consists of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers, all currently operating? Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United Stat s in January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program? Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational? They have 5 - 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment. Did you know that Iraq's Air Force consists of three operational squadrons, which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft (under Iraqi operational control) which operate day and night, and will soon add 16 UH-helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers? Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion? Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained and equipped police officers? Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq that produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks? Did you know there are more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq? They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83 railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69 electrical facilities. Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have received the first 2 series polio vaccinations? Did you know that 4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October? Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%? Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consists of 75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations? Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange openedin June of 2004? Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a televised debate recently? OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW! WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW? OUR MEDIA WOULDN'T TELL US! Instead of reflecting our love for our country, we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades. Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves two purposes: It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the United States thus minimizing consequent support, and it is intended to discourage American citizens. ---- Above facts are verifiable on the Department of Defense web site. http://www.defenselink.mil/
Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz: "Dangerous cults focus on generally disenfranchised youth for their recruiting efforts on campuses and in areas where an uneducated mind can be found all over the world." Of course, that's why John Walker lindh and the fat kid are both from California.
Since almost all suicide bombers are male. Male must be the gender of suicide. There must be some biological supportive factors that continues to create suicide bombers in male specific genetics. Males have XY chromosomes while females have XX, obviously Y must be the chromosome of suicide. Something must be done about this gender. ..... . doh. |/sarcasm|
Male muslims to be more precise. Male christians don't do it, male hebrews and hindus don't do it, male atheists and agnostics don't do it, only male muslims do. And female muslims seem to be quite supportive of male muslims' terrorist and suicide bombing activities too.
i somewhat remember kamikazes in the second world war. oh wait. i forgot japan was muslim. ps. i am reasonably confident the ratio of male/female suicide bombers is higher than the ratio of muslim/non-muslim suicide bombers. gender is a far better indicator of predispositions to suicide bombing than religion. my point > this thread
Fair enough but it happened 65 years ago, it happened during a war, they were soldiers, they were attacking military targets only and they no longer do it today. Today it's only muslim males who deliberately target innocent civilians in pizza parlors, schools and subways all over the world with tacit and often explicit approval of muslim females.
i am delighted you are in tune with the wants of every muslim female in the planet. i can picture a new gibson movie 'what muslim women want'. this time with stuff blowing up. note. a fair chunk of suicide bombers do think they are war, think of themselves as soldiers and do attack military targets. so there is no difference between them and japanese soldiers 65 years ago. (and 65 years in the future, given peace and an influx of tamagachi virtual pets, i doubt they will do it anymore also) you say they are blowing up innocents too? shia blowing up sunnis or vise versa, its called a civil war. you should do some research before taking everything you see on fox news at face value.
