I can share in the humor, but not in the beer. I sorta gave it up when I came home one night (don't know I got home safely), parked the car in the garage (don't remember how I did it) and fell asleep in a bowl before my wife could pour soup in it! I think I saved my marriage by quitting alcohol!

I know the feeling. I used to wake up nude, on the hood of my car, with my keys in my arse saying "It's just flooded!" and thinking "why cant I get this dam car started?"
Al I did was change brands!..........LOL


Just kidding

Been a long time since I saw that joke!

Sorry I've derailed this topic. Let's get back to the issue at hand!

Yes.....ahem,ahem,.....Lets!
Which brings me back to my original post, "The father of the Muslim religion" Mohammed,(again not so good with Arab spellings) waged war in 600 A.D., during the holy month-long holiday in november, so why didn't that offend his followers then?

Hmmm... This one has me a little torn. I'm all for the war effort (surprise! ) But I can really see everyone's points on this. Kind of a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't'. ::scratches head:: I'm stumped!

I guess if I were really pushed, I would say to keep going, don't let up and give them the chance to regroup. After all, if we are going to stop now, why did we even start? Why not have put it off until after in the first place?

Hey you!!!

Just curious of how you came to this decision. I'm having a hard time making up my mind and any insight you have would be greatly appreciated, oh wise one.

Doing unto others. (Though I want want to be bombed in the first place )

It gives the civilians some respite. They are unfortunate victims, and though, as you know I support action against terrorism, it would be like someone attacking us on Christmas or Easter for example.

The time could be spent shoring up in other areas. Hitting the propaganda front for example. The propaganda ops could hammer the fact home that Islam is respected by seven million Americans. I wonder if any are in the military? Surely we'd be respecting them by not getting them to fight during the day on an empty stomach?

Just my P.O.V. Not particuarly passionate either way. War, though in this case a necessary evil, is still an evil.

What are you thinking?

I wonder, though, if they will hate us anyway. Maybe they will see it as a propaganda stunt and not respect us at all no matter what we do. ::sighs, tapping fingures lightly on the desktop::

What to do, what to do....

The Pakistani and Egyptian governments would be the ones to listen to on that matter as they'd be the ones most affected if there's a substancial shift in public opinion against support for the Coalitions military action.

I know China and some Asian nations were worried about the effect plowing through Ramadan would have in the Islamic Asian nations (non Arabic) of Indonesia and Malaysia. The Aussie embassy was given a hoax anthrax scare in Kuala Lumpur I believe.

Indonesia, the worlds largest Islamic nation of 180 million+ people is right next door to Australia.
