What about countries that spawn serial killers or domestic terrorists?
Have we made sure that no more will be "spawned" right here at home?


I see, so long as there is a single nutcase or fanatic who emerges here, we
cannot defend ourselves from organized terrorists from abroad.


I'm not sure if you do see, I think you're blinded by something but I'm not
sure what it is. I would say Bush and co. are the scariest bunch of zealots
running loose these days. I think it's ironic that Bush and co. have
similar zeal with bringing death.

How about Union Carbide in Bhopal that was 100,000? And look what our
mining companies do to countries around the world. Oil companies ravage
any place they show up. So it's okay with you that our corporations run
around wreaking havoc as long as it's in the name of "progress"?






Several middle eastern countries who formerly sheltered terrorists have
already
come to that conclusion, but there are still a few to go.

Would you feel better about getting attacked by zealots from Afghanistan
if they called them selves the The Holy Taliban Army?

Let's just cut to the chase the only reason we are involved in the
middle east is because "the american way of life is not negotiable"*


On our soil? No, it is not. We do not need to impose our way of life on others,
but we are fully justified in defending attacks on our way of life from abroad
and in pre-emptively addressing threats to our country.


Well we are certainly imposing our way of life on others both directly and
indirectly. Do you understand what our consumption is doing to this
planet?



"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism
or the holy name of liberty and democracy?" Mahatma Gandhi



That he cannot see the difference is why I find Gandhi, and other pacisifists,
contemptible.

The difference he fails to see is the world left to the survivors.

And what world would that be that remains?
