Before you answer, pls check out this link:\nhttp://politicalhumor.about.com/library/images/blbushundercover2.htm\n\nLISTEN: We cannot let terrorist hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile. Our nation must come together to unite.... can you do this people?

If you do not have a sense of humor, do not read this:\n\nSure, it is just a matter of rounding up about half of the citizens on the country into camps.  No not the good, G-d fearing Bible loving one, you know those pinko PC environmental types (accent on the mental).\n\nThen we brain wash then by using TV Evangelists and those who resist training we send directly to the Middle East, every man and woman and no child left behind.\n\nThose that are left in this country can let the aliens do the dirty work and boy, I bet they would unite in no time.\n\n***grin***  Long Live King George II!!!

Ironically this administration will unite the USA because they will push us too far by taking away our right and liberties. Then the people with revolt and stand up but no till they really make us feel it. What is going on now with the wire tapping the flag burning and the money tracing and the administration trying to silence the news from reporting the news. All this is just the beginning. You have to start small and before you know it you are living under a dictatorship. That is how all of them formed, Hitler did not come into Germany and just say kill all the Jews he had to put fear in people first.

I totally agree with you. Why can the US have nuclear bombs and wmd and we do have them. Why cant other countries. Its none of our business. Read the constitution we are not to go to war with any other country unless that country attacks us. But what do we do we invade countries that have disputes with other countries and stick our big fat noses into everything. No wonder America is a HATED country.

yes it is winnable as for how it is won well we need to get the terrorists out of the country and let them go from there helping them along when they need it. but how we do it i don't know  its not my call. but there need to be changes made.

I have to agree, we made the situation infinitely worse by invading and occupying. To leave now would be the wrong thing to do, not because the terrorists win, but because it's our mess now. And anyone that thinks the terrorists win, PLEASE, get a life....

If we took the gloves off over there,i would go tomorrow.The problem is all the sniveling on the home front, about "torture"and "terrorist rights".Screw 'em.They are barbarians,and must dealt with as such.Why should we play by rules,and the enemy does not.?

What are we going to do? Go cry to their mommies? It isn't like we can tell them to mobilize into an actual fighting army, because even if we do, they aren't going to. Of course we don't like it, but why b!tch and moan if we can't do anything bout it.\nWe observe the GC to show that we are better than them, not that the rest of the world cares. And if you believe that there are not parts of the US intelligence community that aren't using torture, you are sadly ignorant.

Oh please I'm really tired of this shit, Muslim are human, if they where insulted big they should be very angry, if their land is being occupied they should fight to liberate it, why don't you see what the American s are doing and saying and say where's the moderate Americans, why should we be the ones who stay week and taking it all the time\n\nComment on new posts >>\n\nYou people just don't listen, you just wann be trapped on your own media propaganda without thinking it over, we are simply humans, if you occupied our country then we'll fight you, if you keep bombing us and refuse to reason, then some people will turn to violence as the only way left, it's as simple as that, if you still don't understand, then there's something seriously wrong with you!!

Are you suggesting that we change our foreign policy to satisfy Islamofacist terrorists??????????????????\n\nTheir hatred for us is irrational. It makes very little sense to try to understand their motivation.

It is most gratifying to read such an eloquent discourse and I whole heartedly agree with the thrust of your most erudite question. The thing is, bless'em they're a bit brain washed you know and believe that there is a worldwide conspiracy against them. Paranoia indeed! The extreme right wing proclivities of this nation are a great concern to me and it is causing the polarising, divisive and skewed nature of US politics today. Of course, the really worrying trend, is that those that are hurt most by this type of hysterical, disabling, right wing thinking are the ones that rush to it's defence when it's under threat! Presumably out of some misguided sense of loyalty or patriotism. No, I'm afraid you're right, America needs to learn to play nicely and have a bit of humility. Terrorism is in large part a result of this rigid, militaristic, right wing foreign policy she has dished out over the last 5 or 6 decades and I can't see it stopping anytime soon. Jules, lecturer.

stop trying to instigate to get a reaction. and since you said "these terrorists have us pegged" i guess that means you're a gutless pussy too. welcome to the club! you can be exalted ruler.

Not many times will you find me agreeing with you over something like this. \nBut some thing like this seems to have been put out before. Only thing i can see wrong with it. \nIs that you will always find that one side will never agree. \nno matter how good any solution is. \nMy idea would be to get all the coalition forces out of there. \nArm all sides Equally let them sort it out once and for all with NO outside help from ANY other country. \nLast group standing gets the Country. \nAnd the rest of the world accepts them no matter who has won.

sounds like a plan, there is a place for traitors in a time of war. it definitely makes the enemy all warm and fuzzy inside when they see our own people turning against this nation.

The reason that you won't see this happen anytime soon is that it would take a concerted effort on the part of the people of this country. Getting the people of this country to rally around anything takes education, effort, solidarity, time, and a number of other things that most of us are lacking in one way or another. The lack of one or more of those qualities makes the ideal unattainable as the support network quickly dwindles away to a few forgotten zealots.\n\nLook how poorly the support is for the war in Iraq only five years after the loss of thousands of lives on 9/11/2001. At first, people were wanting us to stop at no less than the unconditional eradication of anything related to radical Muslim ideals. "As long as it means getting rid of terrorists, it's good enough for me." was the motto of many, normally peaceful Americans. \n\nThe majority of the nation rallied around the president after the attacks allegedly masterminded by Al Queda. But that only lasted a little while. Once people realized that they could still support our troops without supporting the president, many returned to a way of thinking that no longer involved revenge.\n\nAnd, well, your notion about people rallying around an idea against corporate corruption? That's just too esoteric of an idea and thousands of people haven't been bombed by corporate corruption yet. The people will never back it.

I don't think we have reached the point of no return but I do think we are dangerously close to getting to that point.  I don't pretend to be a  political expert by any stretch, just an average person so I may be wrong, but it seems to me that we are way too anxious to go all over the world to fight battles for who ever cries for help while leaving our own borders wide open.  We have terrorism going on in our own country everyday with freaks like the guy who went into the Amish school and shot 10 little girls killing 5 of them.  I don't know what the average daily number of homicides is in this country but I know that in our state capitol, the number this year is staggering.  Drive by shootings, murder - suicide and random acts of violence are nothing but homeland terrorism.  That, coupled with the horridous influx of illegal immigrants has made this a scary place to live.  I think we need to stop trying to save the world and work on saving our nation.  I completely support our troops and the work they do every day all around the world and am actually the mother of a military person but I still think we need to use our military here at home to close our borders, protect us from incoming threats and concentrate on Homeland Security.  How can we save the world if we can't save ourselves?  (you said you wanted detailed answers! :)

No matter which side you are on - there is a problem with militant muslims.  It started in 1983, and just grew.  The 1993 WTC bombings should've a wake up call for all americans.  We went to Afghanistan & Iraq to defend ourselves because terrorist don't have homeland.  I don't like seeing our troops, ally troops, or iraqis dying, but I'd rather have the battle fought on their land not ours.  911 was the worst attack on our soil ever.

I disagree.  Try living in Afghanistan or some other country on the same level.  Just pack your bags and go live there for a while.  Go live in one of the villages and try to walk around like you do in the USA.  You'll see some terrorism, all right. You'll know what it's like to feel terror from some of the fanatical people there. You have no idea how very, very lucky you are to live in a free democracy.  The US is helping people get something like a decent life in other countries, and trying to make it safe for women and children.  How can you think of running down something that stands out as so wonderful when compared to the way others live?  No, I'm not American.  But I admire your Constitution and wish all Americans would value what they have.
