there may be a pattern here, but only one side of the on going eye for an eye sort of nonesense being perpetrated by both sides. i am curious to know what is on the list of western atrocities upon the muslim world. i have come up witha few of my own that would surely piss me off: supplying iraq and saddam hussein with the same weapons of mass destruction the u.s. government was looking for a few years ago, CIA training of people like bin laden, backing of corrupt muslim governments in iran, indonesia, etc. or the displacement of the palestinian people off their own land post ww2. it is no wonder some of these people are pissed off! so instead of contributing to the ongoing paradox of pointing the finger of blame and increasing the kill count on both sides, don't you think it would be more productive to view things from a different angle? perhaps we should be promoting peace and friendship rather than spreading fear.
i find the above list of questions totally out of line and racist to the core. if we must seek justification for going to war over an action that was committed against "our nation" surely we must seek justification for the original action. why did people feel compelled to fly planes into the world trade center? why do people feel this is the only way they can be heard?
there is a better way to all of this nonesense. name calling and fighting don't solve anything. to get things accomplished we must have a dialogue and share ideas and be prepared to listen to others. i learned that is elementary school. it seems like common knowledge to most intelligent people. personally, i think folks like donald, tony, john, dick, and bush need to be spanked, hard, and sent to their rooms to reflect on what they have done. then they should be reminded that fighting solves nothing.
