Oooh boy, this is a long discussion..I couldn't get through it all before saying my piece. I feel bad for every "innocent" human life that is lost. whether the US causes it, or some crazy palestinian blows up an Israeli bus full of kids. No one is truly innocent, but you can have feelings and not be a bad guy. I also understand that in countries such as Iraq, the people can't change it, like we can here, since Insane Hussein has all the guns, and the people have no power. I figure plenty of "arabs" (middle-eastern/Islamic folks) see the US as decadent and "sinful," but that's 100% different from actually trying to change it by destroying us. Just let us lead our sinful lives. When YOU go to paradise, we'll burn in hell, OK? Well, for some, that isn't good enough... on behalf of their god, they have to kill us all, and destroy the US. Well, fellas, ain't going to happen. Citizens of the US, myself included, do have a tendency to take our liberties and priveledges for granted, until someone tries to take them, hence the amazing outpouring of patriotism lately, thanks to 9/11. Sadly, many regress back to taking such for granted, we should be voting at a >95% but if we reach 75%, its "good." Anyhoo, I see us as the better guys (maybe not good, but better). Sure, we meddle in foreign governments, when they are dictators living off the misery of the people of the country. But we get out once we think a better system is in place and stable. We send lots of aid to the peoples of other countries. We are taught that everyone is equal, we were built off the immigrants from almost all nations. Part of us IS you. If we didn't care about civilians, or "innocents" we wouldn't send aid, it wouldn't take 2 YEARS to research and follow, and identify agents of terror, we would just blast any possibilities. We wouldn't wait for them to be in the desert, we'd waste the town they were in. Then we'd take over ALL the middle east, and kill them all, as TL sleepily said. We wouldn't let the Suadi's and everyone keep OUR oil wells. That's right, they're OURS. We did the mapping, the drilling, the infrastructure, all of it. Then they closed their borders and threw us out, and we said "okay," it IS your country, just sell us oil, ok?

We need to vilently remove the fanatics. Islam is OK, Muslims are ok, Hindu, Buddists, anyone can belive all they want, let me do the same. Remove the fanatics that will act against us with EXTREME predjudice. Hopefully, it will push those on the fence considering action against us off in the right direction. That they would rather hate us, but take no action. I'd rather they all hate us, but not do anything, and stay alive, than 1% try to kill us. Leave us alone, we will leave you alone. And I don't know how anyone, ANYONE, doesn't know a few things: at least ONE guy in that car is a terrorist, the US is at war with terrorists, we usually blow up our opponents in war, and if you don't want to get blown up, avoid the terrorists. I don't expect you to do anything to or about them, except stay away. Therefore, anyone found in company with a terrorist IS one, or at least supports them.

Hooray for the USA, and of course EVERYONE else who leaves the others alone!
