seems as if the europeans are reallly having to rethink that islam is only growing and is becomming to haunt them. look at the riots in france. With the influx and ease of middle easterners comming to the EU it is only going to become more of a breeding ground for those who are against our freedoms and democracy..
Shows how much you know about the riots in France. The riots were only in areas where the Muslim population was ghettoized. Marseilles had no riots; it has been integrated for three hundred years.
i cant take it anymore, i was in newyork when the towers fell, well actually across the bay in NJ but i saw people as they brought them across to NJ for hospitals anybody that wants to "win their hearts" can kiss my they send women and kids out with pack of IED's on to blow up more people with no regard how many of there own they blow up as long as they kill at least one american. and think they will have sex with a million virgins in there afterlife, excuse me but once that cherry is plucked it cant just grow again next year and their "virgins" are how old???have you ever looked into what they do to there women?? Tigertoy, ?? look up female circumcisionif you agree with these "people" if they could even be called that then you need to be over there with them. unless your a terrorist too, then
As far as respecting the rules of engagement, that is a western construct. It is impossible to expect people to respect an idea that they feel has no legitimacy. Law must have its basis in consensus or it will not be followed. People choose to follow laws only if they feel them to be just or representing a just or legitimate power. Anyway, I'm not sure why anyone thought it would be different. The Koreans did it, the Viet Cong did it. I mean the word is out, guerilla warfare is the way to outlast the American military. The American public has little patience for a long, costly war, and 'our enemies' know that. 'Our enemies' know us better than we know them. The whole rhetoric of we 'they can't win militarily' is totally, utterly bs. You win politically or you don't win at all. Read 'On War' by Clausewitz. It is basically the military bible. The theme - war is an extension of politics. BTW, Rush is a nice speaker and good manipulator, but not the most logical guy in the world. I heard him one day say that 'Fox News and this show constantly beat the liberals.' This implies that the news is for sale to the highest bidders. Now thats democratic. I have heard him say some other choice pieces of idiocy that some 'dittoheads' swallow up like arsenic laced koolaid. I always thought dittohead was ironic. Who wants to be someone that repeats everything the person before them said. I guess dittohead kinda means programmed robots.BTW, since when were liberals weak. Che Guevara and Fidel Castro took over a whole country with less than 100 men. Of course, they weren't the most moral of individuals, but still, less than 100 men. Of course morality has rarely figured into any decision amongst political leaders, including in the US.

I see you are buying in to the left wing rhetoric with the rest of them, Glen. There is more to meets the eyes then just a picture, walking holding hands is a muslim custom, and there is a lot more behind the story then the left wing spin doctors will let on.Sounds like you are a Michael Moore fan
Isn't that a UN construct? I know I am ignorant on politics, never claimed to be anyting but, but aren't they part of the UN too?
How sad a generation it is having to make apologies for anything that is said! (and I know you meant that tongue in cheek, BD, at least I hope you did cause it was to me!) You know, if the middle easterners that are so gungho on their twisted religious beliefs (the militant extremists, not the every day working joe) that say they will be rewarded when all the infidels are dead would understand OUR religion and OUR way of life, they would see that killing us is actually a sin. Why do WE have to understand their beliefs and be sensitive to THEM, when no one is questioning why they don't see it our way? Splain that one, batman
the ones rioting were the ones that left iraq i
The UN is a cumbersome, ineffective bureaucracy that probably should be dismantled right down to the mail room guys and either rethought or forgotten.
yes ma'am, I did indeed. I am responsible for my words, and I will apologize when I feel I made a mistake. I am always avaialbale for correction, but I will never apologize simply on the basis that I may have offeneded someone while I was speaking my mind I think the entire upset is ridiculous. If I had to guess, I'd say the media put out the cartoons just because someone knew it'd piss of the muslims, and get more support for the fact we're not supposed to be over there. I call :bullshirt: I have several friends who have come back from their tours, and MOST of the Iraqi civilians are glad we are there. We have improved their way of life, and they are grateful for it. Sure, they face death at the hands of sucide bombers or firefights every day, but you know what? That isn't something new. It was quite common before the war, and will be again. This time it just happens to be the Soldier that are the targets, not helpless people. I couldn't care less about a people who doesn't even give a damn about its own. We've got soldiers over there who have sacrificed all to go out and rescue an Iraqi child that was wounded, where one of the insurgents would have put a bullet in the childs head, just to shut him up! (THis is not supposition, this is a tale from a soldier that has returned home) Yeah, I really want to sit back and let them run things!
Finaly, I can agree with Tigertoy! (just this once I think tho)
I'm very far left. The far left is anti-globalism. There isn't a political party in the states that even comes close to my ideology. I reluctantly pull the democratic lever every election year.
And (unlike most ppl with your sort of views) you are honest. And that does get some repect. (more than most ragheads will ever get from me) Butt hey, I'm just a love it or leave it kinda guy!
Most of the soldiers have a very limited amount of contact with civilians. What do you think a broke Arab in Baghdad is going to say to a white guy in fatigues with an M16? But, you are right, the US military has made the best out of a bad situation and most US soldiers are geniunely good individuals trying to help.
I plan on expatriating as soon as I get done with school. So my truck will be for sale in a couple of years.
so milk it for all its worth, then bail?? nice
Who's milking? I got twenty five grand in student loans. Trust me, people in the US would rather me not work here. I guarantee that if I went through everything that I believe you would probably be ready to pay me to leave.
Mexico, Venezuela, Bolivia - somewhere in Latin America. That is where my research is going to be done (working with indigenous populations - hopefully Yucatecan Mayans.) I'm hoping to get a position at a university in one of those countries. And yes, I am a natural born American. Truck - 3500 to 4000.
