There are People in this world who want to kill everyone in the USA and Canada and England and France and other Countries
They have Rabies they are so full of Hate
Talking Nice to them is like trying to Talk Nice to a Rabid Dog
While you are Petting it, it is Ripping your Throat out and killing you then it will Eat your Kids.
There is one nice way I have thought of
You can Beam Propaganda Brodcasts * Radio/Tv etc showing Sesamie Street etc with them being Nice and loving everybody to thier Kids 24/7 (Not covering up thier channels but better programming)
That is not being done enough
Other than that
Our Solders need to be allways ready to Kill the Terrorests where they are

And then sometimes it fails miserably. Like in Iraq... Straw -- man... You know it. You knew it as you typed it. There is no comparison - none whatsoever. First rule of political debate. If you're the one making Hitler or Nazi references to make your point, you've already lost... HUH? that makes no sense but thats ok. The point about Red Adair is that you can fight fire with fire - thats how they put out the well fires. Been doing it for 100 years. Yes it failed with Iraq - bad planning all around - I will never disagree with that point. [/u] have the proof of the WMD's, right? Right? Hmmmmmmm? Oh, yeah - I forget. THERE WERE NONE. He DID[/u] stop. We DID[/u] illegally invade a sovereign country without provocation. Oopsie... [/quote] Huh? I NEVER said I had proof ... Not sure which butt you pulled that out of??? I said, every leader in the US agreed that he did - they were ALL mislead, not just BUsh. Bush just acted on it. [/quote] Yes we should be consistent but does that mean we just walk away and say "Oops My Bad...Shouldn't have done this so Bye Bye". No.. we now have to work to get out smoothly. How? I have no idea and I don't think anyone really does. Its a first rate CLUSTER F**K that has destroyed our image all over the world. I'm terrified Bush is going to do something to Iran before he leaves office. God forbid.

Actually Jim... I realized that was part of why I was so upset with yesterday's post of Freckles... Someday hopefully we WILL have a Muslim president. This is a country that was supposedly started (at least by Europeans) as a country to be built on religious freedom. Yes, that has equated to religious freedom for Christians... But I don't see how a Muslim president would mean we are all going to end up in burkas with no women voting? Why couldn't they practice their religion as separate from the office of president as any Christian? In fact, it would be GOOD to have a religious minority person in office -it would show democracy is working the right way, wouldn't it? Muslim is just a religion - and it DOESN'T equate to terrorism. That just bothered me...

Propaganda WORKS. It works on us all the time (which is why there is so much money spent on advertising), and has worked in past wars - both here and abroad.

Would I have any problem with a Muslim as President - no. Would I have a problem with a Muslim who wanted to implement ANY type of Shira Law in the US? Yes.
As for Muslim <> terrorism... The radicals are defining Muslim just like the topeka group is defining Christianity - and that is tragic.

So would the vast majority of the American voting public, barring cataclysmic social change. Ergo, it won't happen. So it's another straw man, Bob. Building straw men out of Muslims or any other social group just feeds intolerance.

Yes, Freckles, they DO and have in the past many many times. Definitely not ALL Christians, just like not ALL Muslims. Bob is right - the radicals and most heinous acts are what is used as definition, and it simply isn't right. I know many VERY peaceful Muslims, who are as saddened over that violence as you or I. And... Freckles... the way you talk, I can see you cheering over the death of Muslim men - and you express constantly the impression that they are all bad. How is that different from the Muslims who think the Americans are bad?

I don't undestand what you are trying to say - could be I'm simply to busy to think about it or it could be the usage.... I will pick one....
