Phaedrus · Jul 18, 2003

out, do you seriously suggest that these attacks, while certainly cowardly and abhorrent, were simply random ideas which just happeend to occur to the attackers, without any stimulus to prompt them?

Saddam did all that ????

Or are you saying that any act committed by an Arab is justification for attacks against all Arabs ????

You know the "THEY" have been at war with us comment sounds pretty racist.

outandup · Jul 18, 2003

a racist term? The racist card is a tactic that doesn't phase me. I'm armed with facts.

They= Arab terrorist and all that supported them, some were heads of states.

outandup · Jul 18, 2003

the US has been attacked by arab terrorist supported by arab countries going back 24 years and the US did not properly respond to deter these actions.

"the US has been attacked by arab terrorist supported by arab countries going back 24 years"

And we take over Iraq causing even more anti-U.S. sentiment in the Arab community.

outandup · Jul 19, 2003

nothing and they'll stop attacking us.

Hmmmm.... 24 years of history says otherwise.

radiofreecostarica · Jul 19, 2003

Actually, changing foreign policy to not angry the entire worth IS doing something...Its acting as if you're part of something great, part of a whole.

Until now, this is something we have NOT done.

radiofreecostarica · Jul 19, 2003

furthermore, out, those 3000 killed in the WTC weren't all americans.

de niro,
This has been going on for 24 years and it's not a game.

DENIRO · Jul 21, 2003

I DO BELIEVE IN GOING AFTER BIN LADEN AND ALQUEDA. THE PAKISTAN PRESIDENT ALONG WITH US EXPERTS, STATED THAT BIN LADEN IS PROBABLY BETWEEN AFGANISTAN AND PAKISTAN BORDER.

OUT, WHY ARENT WE BOMBING ,SENDING FORCES TO GET HIM. INVADE THE WHOLE MOUNTAINSIDE. THEY ARE THE REAL MURDERERS THAT KILLED OUE PEOPLE ON 9-11. WHAT DOES IRAQ HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING. ITS THE ALQUEDA AND BINLADEN THAT WANTS PURCHASE THE WMDS. WHEN THE ALERT IN THE US GOES UP, IS IT IRAQ OR ALQUEDA THAT THE US IS AFRAID OF.

outandup · Jul 21, 2003

de niro the US should quit trying to fight a PC war and take off the fukin gloves and beat them into submission. the problem is the leftist paint a negative picture no matter what the US does. so the PC war continues, worrying about casualities and therefore not pressing aggressively forword to kill the enemy.

kayaman+ · Jul 21, 2003

"beat them into submission"

Hello? McFly hello? Anybody in there?

It's their country.

outandup · Jul 21, 2003

kaya,
wake up! smell the koffi annan. the US is at war with the baath party saddams holdouts and they should be beat into submission and then the country can be turned over to the proped up government. if we leave now you leftist will cry and say we left the poor iraqi's to be slaughtered by the baath party. anytime now you can check into reality.
