    If they had planted evidence then they would have found what they planted. I don't believe they are that dumb.

      Israel has the capability to deliver a devastating pre-emptive strike if ever it felt that an attack was imminent. So, the 'protecting Israel' argument does not hold much water. It was more protecting Saudi and Kuwait. I don't see anything anti-Islamic here. Maybe all of this was prompted by a hunger for oil. So what ? I don't see anything anti-Islamic in a hunger for oil. Do you ?

          The word Crusade has two meanings

          MW Dictionary

          Main Entry: 1cru·sade Pronunciation: krü-'sAd Function: noun Etymology: blend of Middle French croisade & Spanish cruzada; both ultimately from Latin cruc-, crux cross 1 capitalized : any of the military expeditions undertaken by Christian powers in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries to win the Holy Land from the Muslims 2 : a remedial enterprise undertaken with zeal and enthusiasm

          He meant the second one. Re the real crusade : Almost all of the lands the crusades were fought over are in Israel now.

              They have fought two wars before.

              From Wikipedia :

              On May 14, 1948, before the expiring of the British Mandate of Palestine on midnight of the May 15, 1948, the State of Israel was proclaimed. The surrounding Arab states supported the Palestinian Arabs in rejecting both the Partition Plan and the establishment of Israel, and the armies of six Arab nations attacked the State of Israel. Over the next 15 months Israel captured an additional 26% of the Mandate territory west of the Jordan river and annexed it to the new state. Most of the Arab population fled or were expelled during the war. The continuing conflict between Israel and the Arab world resulted in a lasting displacement that persists to this day.

              The first one was fought when their country was one day old. This country has been around now for more than 50 years. They must have grown some since then.

                Well said. He seems to be so poisoned by his own anti-US/Israel hatred that he fails to see it has nothing to do with Islam. It is sad that so many people have had to die for reasons that many of us can't or don't understand. But you really can't expect a government to divulge everything ti knows prior to a war: perhaps the WMD etc was deliberate misdirection. In the meantime while there are hateful little muslims around like Adnan Siddiqi nothing will change.

                turning the other cheek just gets you slapped twice

                  From a newspaper article :

                  Some Britain-based young Muslims have described themselves as feeling "betrayed" by Britain's decision to take part in the American-led invasion of Iraq.

                  Saddam's (Baath Party) was a secular Arab Nationalist regime. America's first attack on Iraq was to free Kuwait, a conservative Islamic country. If the first attack wasn't seen as anti-Islam, why is the second one seen as anti-Islam ?

                  Cause Saddam Hussain is an Islamic name. Now if he was called Johnny Brown or something, it'd have been a regular war :-)

                      What the US needs to do, to confirm with its own elated standards of political correctness, is to have as its next President, a Muslim woman of African and Asian lineage, who is also gay. Then the rest of the world will have to shut up for 4 years :-D

                                      The Soviet's stated ambtions were world domination. As the last time I checked, the middle east was part of the world, it follows that it was included. The Soviets were very active in the middle east, one of their most critical long term ambitions was (1) to control western access to oil supplies, and, (2), even more importanly, to control that area in order to have easy naval access to the Indian ocean since one of their largest problems militarily was that they only had access to international waters via the North sea. Most of our cold war activities in the middle east were designed specifically to thwart those ambtions. From supporting Israel, to establishing the Shah of Iran, to Saddam, we played a chess game with them in the region that, for all of our bad moves, ultimately had the desired affect (well, I mean unless, like most lefties, you actually wnated the Soviets to win).

                                        Just apply historical hindsight to see that military meddling in the area (or any area, one could say) is almost always a bad idea. The Soviets wouldn't have had any better luck "controlling" the Middle East than we've had. Our involvement in Afghanistan was minimal, and yet Soviet ass was thoroughly kicked (just like ours in Viet Nam). The only controls any nation can exert on another that seem to have any lasting power or positive effect are economic and cultural, and the Soviets had neither deep pockets, nor a culture of personal freedom. We have both, although both are currently being depleted at an alarming rate.

                                          What on earth does your reply have to do with his question? :confused: Really, you want to continue the discussion, stay on topic. This is not the place to flex your non sequitur muscles. Cheers, Vikram.

                                          Ah, but you forget...he does this ALL the time. This is why it is futile to discuss anything with him. Besides, according to him, it's all in the Qu'ran anyways so it's actually irrational to question anything.
