Hey the Saudi's and Iran have both spent years supporting terrorism. Lets give them 72 hours to hand over the leaders of Hamas, Hezzbollah, and Al Quada. If they don't we retaliate and turn ther countries into parking lots. Its pretty obvious they aren't with us, so obviously they are against us. At the same time we should give Russia the nod in how they are to deal with the Chechen rebels. Short of killing these guys there really is no good way to deal with them. After Tehran and Riyhad are smoking holes the idea of assisting terrorists might not be so appealing. Uptight Ex-Military Republican married to a Commie Lib - How weird is that?

How far do you think we should go? If we gave them a list of people to hand over and a solid deadline would you be willing to say we bomb the hell out of 'em or nuke 'em?

It's interesting you mention the saudi's. I saw a documentary the other night, where former and present CIA officers spoke about the unwritten law in the white house: You may not criticize the Saudi's, for they are our friends with lots of oil. According to the documentary, it started with George Sr, not stopping with Clinton, and still going strong with GWB. Clinton was even approached by the Sudanese government to hand over Usama bin Laden. Since the US did not have the needed evidence to apprehend Usama, the only logical choice was to turn him over to Saudi Arabia, where they could have done whatever they do at their courts. But Saudi Arabia was much too important to be bothered with such deals. You guys really need to examine your leaders, because obviously, oil is first priority, followed by the security of the people. You don't have to be a hard core communist to find that despicable. -- Ich bin Joachim von Hassel, und ich bin Pilot der Bundeswehr. Welle: Erdball - F104-G Starfighter

It is a truism that the political anger of the average person is directly related to what immediately affects them in their daily lives. When the average Arab no longer sees the United States ham-handededly messing with their political system, then the United States will begin to fade in their minds. That has happened in the past. It will happen in the future. But then, that would go against your premise, which is that (a) You are angry, right, and ready for revenge, and (b) Those who oppose you are wrong and (c) Your enemies (a broad term encompassing even those who disagree with your political opinions) are implacable, evil, and wholly non-human. In your bloodthirsty cry for revenge, in which a thousand of "them" die for every one of "us" (regardless of any legal due process), I wonder if, were a Muslim country to succesfully occupy America, that you would be the one self-righteously beheading one of the occupiers in revenge for the wrongs they have rained on your head. When I read about the death of Mr. Johnson, I felt inexpressible sadness. But I did not for one moment imagine that the grief suffered by his family was any less than the grief suffered by ANY family of someone who has died. The calls for revenge on this board and elsewhere are perpetuations of the same kind of violent idiocy that leads to these kinds of killings. Do not forget that Johnson's killing was in revenge for other killings, and that those killings were in revenge for other killings. It is satisfying to feel angry, and it is satisfying to call for revenge, but it is not right. Your closing statement, that "Anyone who doesn't want to fight back and kill a thousand of them for every one of us killed is the friend of the enemy" shows that your morals are pretty much on the same level as those exhibited by Johnson's killers. Why? Look at it this way. Johnson was killed because he was (a) a Westerner and (b) a technician for Apache attack helicopters. Both of those meant that he was, to the members of al Quaeda, a "friend of the enemy". Innocent pe

But they have to answer to the electorate so that tempers any great abuses. However, if the electorate get apathetic then that balance is lost. In the European elections last week the "You Chicken" party* won several seats. This threatens the UKs involvement in the EU as "You Chicken" want the UK to withdraw fully. The remaining politians realise that the main European issue at the moment is the constitution and people are unhappy with it. (I'm pro-EU and I'm unhappy with the proposed constitution, but I'm in support of their being one) So, the remaining political parties will want to retain power (and they've got to like power in Brussels) so they will, I hope, make the proper adjustments so that at the next election "You Chicken" go back into the hole the climbed out of. * I call the UK Independence Party (UKIP) "You Chicken" because in Dutch U == You and KIP == Chicken.

Unfortunately you are right. If our leadership had half a brain we would be going full speed towards other sources of energy, including nuclear. Sadly the right and left sides of our political spectrum have to many of their own agendas. We haven't built a nuclear power plant for many many years, and our industries don't want to spend the money to retrofit coal burning equipment to operate cleanly. BTW, I'm far from a hard core communist. ;) The problem is that people have it so good that they have no reason to worry about issues outside of their own lives. I doubt that that is something Americans suffer from alone, but it is sad when people are to short sighted to even try to change things like this.

There was an article on US/Saudi relations in the Reader's Digest recently. I couldn't find the book, but I did find a copy of the article online: http://www.msoa.com/teachers/Mr_Y/Saudi%20Arabia/Saudi-page.htm This passage sums things up well: Just to make sure no one upsets this system, perhaps by meddling in Saudi affairs, Saudi Arabia keeps as much as a trillion dollars in U.S. banks. The Saudis hold another trillion or so in the U.S. stock market. This gives them remarkable leverage in Washington. T-r-i-l-l-i-o-n! Yikes.

How far do you think we should go? If we gave them a list of people to hand over and a solid deadline would you be willing to say we bomb the hell out of 'em or nuke 'em?

That is a growing problem I have with Bush. I'm fine with taking out Iraq, but we needed a much broader plan. Blockading all major Islamic ports, taking out airports and major road ways. Throughly isolating the major Islamic nations and demanding a hand over of all known terrorists. If they were not forthcoming than we should have drafted 10 million + Americans and swept the entire area from one end to the other with no more regard for 'human rights' than we gave to Hitler's Germans (Nazi or not). I continue to have little patience with the image of the "moderate" "peaceful" Muslim who is "justifiable angry" with the behavior of the west and of the US. The best of them are frigging assholes and the rest are cowards and murderers. We have to do what ever it takes to get it through their thick skulls that they are a failed, backward culture that has no place in the future of human civilization.
