    Scots,

    It's not those who aren't "baying for blood" that bother me, it's those who defend, or find excuses for the terrorists or who blame the US for this that bother me. I take that back, if you're not baying for blood you're part of the problem...it aids the terrorists. You're either part of the solution, or you're part of the problem.

    Yeru,

    The differnce is that this is NOT several thousand years ago, this is 2004 and it is ENTIRELY unacceptable to cut someone's head off in the name of religion or politics.

    I just cannot seem to get through to you on this. I agree that it is unnacceptable for these sorts of barbarous things to happen. I also agree that it is 2004 in the USA. My point is that it is not 2004 in the Middle East. Get it Darlin? You cannot bomb an ideology like Islam into the C21st.

    Read my first post carefully. I have no interest in politics, especially the circus that passes for politics in the US. What I am stating is fact, not rhetoric. The Western World, the US in particular has a long-term history of failure in its Foreign Policy in the Middle East. A part of the reason for this is that they have made little attempt to understand the thinking of the average Muslim. Islam cannot compromise, that is why it will eventually fail as I noted in my first post.

    My post was not a political statement, it is an historical one. Please try to read it within these confines and not try to put me into a political pigeon-hole that serves *your* immediate needs.

    We are in a war, and people like you are aiding and abetting the enemy...there used to be laws against that.

    Oh really! What utter nonsense. I have kept out of political threads and fully intend doing so in the future ( my post was *not* a political expression ) specifically because it is impossible to reason with a person whose agenda is cemented to a large pile of dogma, as yours, and I might add a few others on both sides of the issue, seems to be.

    Best regards - HS

    yeru,

    if you're not baying for blood you're part of the problem...it aids the terrorists. You're either part of the solution, or you're part of the problem.

    no, it is people like you who are the problem on BOTH sides. nutcases that are willing to go somewhere and kill people for their ideological ideas should be institutionalized.

    Yeru, this comment really pisses me off! Who the hell are you to decide or judge? Because you are in the military? Because you think you are right? I don't want to believe it is because you are an a-hole?

    I respect your right to have your conservative or right wing or whatever.. views. On a rare occasion, we even agree. But to make idiotic statements like this....NO. You made yourself look stupid with this and I am disappointed in you. Doubt if it matters, but had to say it anyway.

    The terrorists are savages. Al-Queda is brutal and kills innocents.

    I wish we were fighting them.

    Why yes, yes I am, as is the US government...seems to me we've tried several soldiers already, and have at least one contractor in custody...what's your point.

    Yes, but they are treated (rightly) on an individual basis for their crimes. You want to comdemn an antire race and religion for the actions of a few extremists - a different standard than applied to your own people.

    The differnce is that this is NOT several thousand years ago, this is 2004 and it is ENTIRELY unacceptable to cut someone's head off in the name of religion or politics. Leave it to the leftist nut cases on this board and elsewhere to come to the defense of the terrorists, it's not their fault.

    We are in a war, and people like you are aiding and abetting the enemy...there used to be laws against that.

    Yeru. You are behaving like a nutcase who has severe reading and / or comprehension problems. What's up? Us 'damn liberals' not baying for blood loud enough for your liking?

    Now I've had enough of this type of petty insult and rediculous supposition by people and it stops right now. One more and you are suspended. You are an extremists and your ugly attitude is no better than those you condemn. From where I am sitting, you all look the same - all extremist, religious nutcases who want to set the world on fire for your screwed-up ideology.

    Don't you get it? People with attitudes like yours (on both sides) are the problem, not 'part of' the problem and certainly not the solution.

    Yeru and all other Christians who support war: How do you explain Jesus words at Matthew 26:52?

    Matthew 26:52

    "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword."

    Good one Sandy! I've heard and read a few comments about Christians not following the example of Jesus, but following more the example of Moses.

    The famous 'What Would Jesus Do" (WWJD) would be interesting.
