There are many terrorists in America -- The ones that drop bombs and kill hundreds of thousands of innocents in "collateral damage."
There are many terrorists in Israel, such as the ones that threaten to bomb Iran with nuclear weapons, and the ones that wall in an ethnic group who used to live where they do now.
Almost all the terrorists supposedly responsible for 9/11 held Saudi passports.
Let's not forget the Chinese government. Responsible for milllions of deaths, torture, slavery, the forced relocation of hundreds of thousands of Tibetans (not to mention all the intentional deaths of Tibetans) and much more. They're one of our favored-trading nations.
I'll "buy" Bush's and the RepubliCon's "fight" against terrorism when they respond to terrorism of all kinds, not just the kind that puts money in their pockets.

Any one who thinks it exhists in the minds of the GOP only is a fool. Anyone that thinks the last six years have been criminally stupid in how terrorism has been dealt with by the GOP while they also had control of Congress, they've got the right idea.

If Isreal, The USA and Britian did not fire another shot at an Arab country the Arabs would still be trying to bring them down... DON'T YOU GET IT LIBS! I guess not!... Continue with your idiot "collateral damage" stupid math equations, that are ABSOLUTELY meanigless..

You guys make me SICK! So when there is a bomb blast in UK and USA, every one is all sad and the world is trying to lick up Bush and Blair's balls only because they got the power to do anything and everything. But when innocent people die somewhere else, you guys want it GO UP IN SMOKE? When terrorism hits somewhere else than UK or USA, it's not terrorism but the nation itself becomes terrorist?
You ****** sick lame bastards. I hope you all die with your heads in your asses mother ******!

He does have a point about how people pick and choose causes they support. Bosnia was a good thing because of a group being killed but Iraq was unjust even though the same thing was happening (if you throw out the WMD slant).
In a thread yesterday, since it was in poverty stricken Africa some said so what.
We as humans should feel compassion for others around the world. Once life has no meaning you have groups willing to send their own child to blow up others for their own (cause).
My feeling go to those that lost their loved ones, not only there but around the world.

What goes around comes around, I guess. All that training they gave for blowing up the rest of the world must have come handy for those who did it. Play with fire and you be prepared to get burned.
