Toe The Line?

"2 + 2 = 5", anybody who doesn't agree with me or says otherwise is just a small minded person who is unwilling to see the other side of an argument. .... Ummm, no. Sometimes people are just wrong. Sometimes they are just a troll. Many have posted intelligent commentaries on the current situation and have been well received. But when trolls come here TRYING to stir up trouble, people usually beat on them. As far as giving Taliban requesting proof, don't confuse due process and extradition with delay and obfuscation tactics. Tim Smith Descartes Systems Sciences, Inc.
Show me the proof, and I'll believe you

These terrorists operate in the broad light of day throughout the entire middle-east. They openly recruit and train new members, they are openly funded by everybody in the middle east who has a check book OK...who funded and created Bin Laden? America Why? To fight the Russians and then he turned on America too. Hmmm... so who's responsible? You tell me! In our own society I believe we would be called vigilantes .i.e. taking the law into our own hands and seeking our own type of justice. As for your statements A through D. We need to ask ourselves why that is? Do you think these people do it for the heck of it? Could it possibly be about inequalities in the world today and developed nations holding down developing countries? Or is it about countries trying to impose their will on other countries? Please enlighten me! Rich
Rich, yes the US funded the Afgan guerilla's to fight the USSR during the Cold War. And our government made probably one of the worst mistakes in the world by completely backing out of the region and leaving them in poverty when the USSR collapsed and the 'war' was no longer needed. That doesn't change the fact that the US has enough evidence to call for Osama's arrest without actual proof that he did it. Now, I'm not in the Nuke'em all camp. I do however, believe that Osama deserves what he's going to get, and the Taliban that supports him deserves it as well. I don't have any simple answers to these complex issues, but I believe that the truth lies somewhere between 'Look on the grassy knoll' and 'Nuke'em all'. Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in it to make him stumble -- 1 John 1:9-10

That's exactly what I was thinking. Hmmm. <tappity-tappity-google-tappity> http://members.aol.com/MorelandC/HaveOriginsData.htm: Toe the line ------------ Meaning: Follow the group, don't disagree, do what others are doing. Origin: Many mistakenly think the phrase is "tow the line", thus obscuring the meaning. Mystery solved. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)
