    From my perspective there is absolutely no reason not to believe that is a direct consequence of the religion itself. When virtually every country that embraces the Islamic religion ends up as a dictatorship, a monoarchy or a violent theocracy, a reasonable person has to conclude that the thing that is common among them is likely the cause.

    Thats the only reason I said 'virtually'.

    Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

        Probably, I am every time I bring it up. Funny thing about that question. It's the only way I know to guarantee you'll get a "shut up".


        Visit BoneSoft.com for code generation tools (XML & XSD -> C#, VB, etc...) and some free developer tools as well.

          So, basically you're saying that in giving the world what it wants and freely chooses, the US is "colonialist" and "imperialistic," right?
