Re: My three step plan to stop terrorism against the U.S.
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I think it's the other way around. Economic and political issues lead to resentment and hate, and then radical fundamentalism is used to galvanize support, because it's always easier to get people to agree with you if you convince them God is on your side (see GWB). Radical Islam is a symptom, not the primary cause, of hatred toward the west, imo. [/ QUOTE ] You apparently think radical Islam is a relatively modern phenomenon. It isn't. [/ QUOTE ] Of course it isn't. There's a long tradition of religion (not just Islam) being twisted to justify atrocities, i.e. the Crusades and Manifest Destiny. Just as it would be a gross oversimplifaction and a disservice to the religion to say those events were based primarily on radical Catholicism, it's an oversimplification and a disservice to blame the recent terror attacks primarily on radical Islam.

Re: My three step plan to stop terrorism against the U.S.
The mullahs sermonize to motivate and encourage their troops just like Bush/Rummy denigrate the Islamists to motivate and encourage the American people and our troops.
Here again is some sensible reading on this subject from someone who understands that part of the world: Link again to Salon article Far better than your normal reading.

Re: My three step plan to stop terrorism against the U.S.
Ah, like you your firewall accepts only politically compatible thought to get through.
Mine lets all sorts of thoughts through and then I decide.

Re: My three step plan to stop terrorism against the U.S.
[ QUOTE ]
1) Cease our support of Israel. Cut off all foreign aid to them and stop supplying them with weapons, permanently. 2) Pull our troops out of every country in the world. Bring them all back home. 3) Apologize to the Muslim world for all of our crimes. Most people with common sense can see that this plan would stop terrorism- we all know that most terrorism is committed by Muslims. Some people on here will say that this plan sounds like appeasement, and it is. Is there something wrong with that? Al Quaeda will have no reason to attack us after this. If they do of course we will pwn them, but they won't. Attacking us after these steps are accomplished for revenge or something like that would just be stupid. Some on here who say it is appeasement would prefer a more macho proposed solution, like the status quo. But this plan won't work. We will never win the war on terror with violence. My three-step plan is the best option. [/ QUOTE ] Please take a can of Coke, open it, and spill it on your keyboard.

WOW!

************************************************** *** Wow! I'd even support Dead and go thru some short-lived humiliation just to see him piss on their graves. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] This assumes he does not go back on his promises. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
