Venezuela has been shown to have given both financial support and sanctuary to the terrorists who are running wild through Columbia. There are US Soldiers serving gallantly to defeat the drug lords and terrorists in Columbia.

We have fostered most of the terrorism ourselves.  We started and funded Osama in Afghanistan, training many of his people.  We funded and supported Saddam, even when he gassed the Kurds.  We support dictatorships all over the Middle East, while lusting after their oil.  We establish military bases from Israel to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan.  We are trying to bully the region.  Our presence used to be just arrogant.  Now I can't imagine the words the locals use for us.  We are despised across the region for the hypocrisy and imbalance of our  policies, and now we have invaded two of their neighbors, in one without any just cause.  Our next threat is to Iran.  We must examine our own behavior before  we go tossing out terms like terrorist.  We have terrorized more people, and for a much longer time, than anyone has terrorized us.  The weapons  you speak of  are in our own hands.  Perhaps we might just consider putting them down.

Absolutely none at all, not that small problems like that have stopped them trying to assassinate foreign leaders,  de-stabalize small countries economies, cause wars, fund wars, fund terrorist groups just because they exist in a country where the government are friendly with anyone they dont like.\n\nThen they wonder why they are the No1 terrorist target on the planet. What worries me more is that President Bliar follows him like a lapdog all the time.

Terrorism is a wide concept that has been used throughout the ages, by the powerful to oppress the weak. It has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. In fact, I believe most of the writings in the Qu'ran are similar in one way or another to Christianity and Judaism, and I'm a Catholic myself. Here's the definition of terrorism from Encyclopedia Britannica:\n\n" The systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. Terrorism has been practiced by political organizations with both rightist and leftist objectives, by nationalistic and religious groups, by revolutionaries, and even by state institutions such as armies, intelligence services, and police."\n\nA good example of an authority or state using terror to achieve "victory" (just like that fake Muhammad quote you posted) is France after the revolution in 1789, Robespierre executed hundreds of possible political enemies and innocent people, thus inflicting  fear in the population. Another good example of a state promoting terrorism is the United States of America. Want examples? The A-bombs in Japan, the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, the funding of anti-soviet guerrilla groups in Afghanistan (Osama Bin Laden was in one of those groups), the funding of the Contra guerrilla in Nicaragua, the sales of weapons to IRAN during the 80's which eventually led to the Iran-Contra Scandal, the funding of anti-goverment and terrorist groups inside Saddam's Iraq during the 90's.

I see why you ask this. Russia, beyond a shadow of a doubt, does sponsor and fund terrorism. Their economy is down now, but because of their tremendous oil reserves will rise again. Russia has been and will continue to be an "ally of convenience". Whatever they agree to, and work towards will always be in the best interest of Russia and no one else. Certainly you know the answer to your question is "No.", but Russia will not be a sleeping giant forever.

Of course, Chavez is an idiot who probably thinks that the whole world depends on the results of football games. It's like the most important thing to them in Venezuela.

partly, yes. Cuba, as you know is a commie country who hates America (or at least Fidel Castro does). I think bush is too paranoid...

The USA doesn't support Israel in killing of palestians.  However, it does recognize that Israel is under constant terrorist attacks from Hamas, Hezzbalah and other terrorist organizations and Israel has a right to defend itself.  As part of defense, Israel targets known terrorists or those that are harboring terrorists.  Except for the countries that are aiding the terrorists (Syria, Lebanon, Iran, etc) no country has a problem with targeted assassinations.

Global hegemony makes us a target from terrorism.  If you want more terrorist attacks, then by all means invade sovereign nations for no real reason.  However, if you actually want to keep our country safe, it's probably best to keep our heads down.

I've been questioning their support of Iran, France, and the former leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein. I know Russia needs money and that need dictates much of what they do. But I'm also very wary that they may have ulterior motives. And I think our Pentagon is aware as well.

No, it's a republic. Their current president is Elías Antonio Saca González.

Chavez, who Bush dislikes, is providing low cost heating oil to several US states to help elderly and low-income Americans heat their homes this winter. Funny, but no help from Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, Bush's friends, or from the US oil industry who got record tax breaks and recorded record profits this year.

Bush government may attack to Iran(an attack to Syria is also within possibilities) or support the attack of Israel. But I don’t think that it is going to be within one year at least since USA may have some trouble in its backyard within forthcoming months. Brazil-China relations become closer. There is already a tension with Venezuela. There will be elections in around 10 South-America countries in 2006. At the end of this year, USA may have other Chavezes to deal with. USA is already in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is risky to attack not only Iran but any other country before having stability in the backyard. \n\nYou may look over the following link to see whats going there.\nAnalysis: How the US 'lost' Latin America \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4861320.stm

Of course the terrorists wouldn't do it if they didn't get publicity.\n\nI don't know if Al Jazerra has a direct link to terorism, but they are sympathic to the terrorists' causes.
