I am sure, their is way to come up with efficient, cost effective alternative energy resources where we wouldn't have such a dependence on oil in our economy. I don't american lives are worth dying for oil when their is approach towards dealing with energy needs, such as finding alternative energy resources. I am sure their is a way. I know, I am not willing to die for oil.
You don't have to die for oil, but as long as our economy is riding on it and your American lifestlye depends on it, I will. And UNTIL, we have a better or different energy source, we are are stuck kissing Arab ass.
"Have you ever even studied the Qu'ran? How much do you really know about Islam?"
Studied? No. Read enough verses? Yes. Heard and read extremists views on it? Yes. In the decaying Arab world, Islam is the problem—because of the way bitter old men interpret and deform its more humane precepts while embracing its cruelest injunctions. This is a problem that has been escalading for decades. By there inability to grow with the rest of the world and holding on to age old practices of oppression, Islam extremists are making a gory mess of their faith. The suicide car bomb attacks on fellow Muslim civilians are a perfect indicator of the utter heartlessness and savagery of Islam in arms. And it is all executed under the facade of a "Jihad" and under the sanctions of "Allah".
"The United States is a leading terrorist state. People who work for the CIA have stated time and time again what a mistake it was to invade Iraq. One CIA operative called it a "Christmas gift" to Osama Bin Laden. But I assure you, that America has committed various terrorist acts and it is this reason that we are ourselves are the targets of terrorists. Osama Bin Laden always hated Saddam but he viewed the US invasion of Iraq as an opportunity to strengthen his organization. And he did. The invasion of Iraq has made Osama Bin Laden stronger. It has also made other Islamic terrorist groups stronger. It was a mistake. But the motive behind invading Iraq was not to "fight terror." It was simply used as a pretext to invade that country for oil. The people in the US government are not concerned for the safety of American citizens. They are only concerned with their own safety and with gaining more power. They could care less if American civilians die in terror attacks. If they cared for American citizens, they certainly would have not invaded Iraq and they certainly would have viewed September 11 as a tragedy rather than opportunity to pass tyrannical laws like the "PATRIOT" Act. Their was more than enough laws on the books to go after terrorists, it was just an excuse to pass laws to control people more and to slowly and gradually destroy what little freedom left that americans have."
This whole paragraph is warped and wracked with pessimism. C'mon, you've been listening to too many haters. How are we the leading terrorist state? Because we have installed dictators for a greater stability against the flow of drugs into our country and they happen to make a turn for the worse on their own people? Because we arm and train the likes of Bin Laden to fight the spread of Soviet Communism and then he turns on us years later? Because we backed Iraq and supported the Contras in Iran when the world needed neither to win for the "oil" stability just to witness Saddam turn on his own people? We can't controll everything. Worse than acting and messing up here and there, is doing absolutely nothing. As far as the various "acts" of our terrorism...name some. Name where we have lined up women and children and slaughtered them. Name an instance where we murdered groups of people because of their religion. Name on time where we looked for a group of civilians and destroyed them.
People who work in the CIA and military analysts have stated time and time again for two decades that the entire Middle East is the problem. I guess it depends on what
you know, doesn't it?
Bin Laden isn't any stronger than he was. Do you think these "martyrs" loved us before Iraq? Do you think that a bunch of rogues are running around twisting arms to murder for their god? The entire world runs on oil. Is it fair the economies suffer because we won't allow the likes of Bin Laden to disrupt oil flow because of bigotted hatreds between Muslim sects? Are we supposed to stand by as Islamic extremists commit the holocausts of Christians and murder Buddhists, because doing otherwise might make the terrorists mad? The sooner more people realize that this is a civilization we are dealing with and not a handful of terrorists, the sooner we can get through it.
Patriot Act is tyrannical? Do you realize that the WTC bombing in 1993 was given to the FBI for jurisdiction instead of the CIA and because of this, the CIA wasn't priveledged to any information collected by the FBI? Are you also aware of the man in California that was arrested last week? He traveled to Pakistan, trained and came back to America with the intention of being part opf a "Jihad." The FBI tracked him in the US and then passed him off to the CIA when he went International. Something, before the Patriot Act, was illegal. You're right. What a tyrannical document. More negativity.
I think you may just be hearing what sounds good to you, so you pass it on.
