You do realize that before the 2003 invasion there were over a million Christians living in virtual peace in Iraq.....that number has been reduced to around 400k and more and more are leaving daily.

Tell us which ones were Muslims and which were Christians in that pile of gassed bodies that Dear Old Uncle Saddam killed? He was a equal opportunity murder so please don't give us your "virtual peace" crap.

Which is one reason the Israelis were able to keep things calm in their sector of Iraq and the area "opened for business" early on after the 2003 "re-invasion."

In case "someone" forgot:

Yep... you will buy it too. What is worse about Oil Companies fighting wars in the name of money, than radical theologies fighting wars in the name of their chosen faiths? Are they fighting and slaughtering for a more righteous cause or purpose?

As I said earlier... I have no fighting dog in the entire Middle East. I do not care who kills who over there... nor do I care for what reason. They have been doing a fine job for thousands of years, without our assistance or Empirical Good Will. Fuck 'Em !!

Can anyone define a realistic "success" in the Mid East as a result of American intervention or diplomacy? Really? Cum on... Really?

Do you mean when it is proclaimed in their recruiting video that they intend for the Muslim flag to fly over the White House? Really?

Thank you for helping to make my point. Our presence in the Mid East has reaped ? in the name of "successful" intervention and diplomacy ????

Oklahoma City had nothing to do with Islamic Jihad.... our own criminal FBI / ATF agencies pissed off those idiots.

Actually, it made mine. You, like the fool currently occupying the White House, actually believe it is the fault of the U.S.

The bottom line is had U.S. companies not assisted in developing the ONLY NATURAL RESOURCE most of them have to market the assholes chopping off heads wouldn't have 2 nickels to rub together, and if the LOCAL "oil czars" who hoard the revenues locally reaped by the development of those resources spread it around their fellow countrymen, as opposed to blowing it on their kids in Europe, and here, then there wouldn't be so much "unrest" .... AND INEQUITY.

Example: The cement provided by the Israelis to the Palestinians to improve their conditions of living was used to build tunnels to attack Israel. AND Where did OBL get his "wealth" so he could go around the world blowing shit up?

Fill up your tank on the way home, and be careful not to piss anyone off while you are outside of your home trying to make a living, go to movie, or just fucking enjoy "moving about the town" ..... or else they might rob you, rape you, assault you, or chop off your head. (Or do you leave the house?)

Oklahoma? One out of a hundred? Same attitude. "The got pissed at the US government, and killed innocent people.

[Thibodaux]

Perhaps, we keep making each other's points. How many Islamic Jihad Head Choppings and Mass Gassing incidents have taken place in our space within North America? And please tell me where I indicated any Islamic Jihad offenses were the "fault" of ours? You made that up by yourself.

Quit trying to blame oil companies for idiotic foreign policy! That is a very tired, lame attempt at diversion.

I still haven't heard a convincing argument for our involvement in the centuries old, ongoing hatred between Jews and Arabs. We will not be making any new friends in that part of the world, no matter what we do. It might be best to reconcentrate our efforts toward fixing the klusterfuck we have turned our own country into! If that is being too "isolationist" for the bleeding heart , World Police advocates... so be it. Until I see any signs that the U.S. has figured a way to make a difference in the deep rooted history of hatred and slaughtering bloodshed in the Middle East, we should simply stay the fuck out!

Besides... we have plenty of enough oil & gas right here in North America, to sell to the rest of the world, while the idiots of the Mid East continue their madness.

As far as 911 memories go.... someone tell me how much progress we've made toward "fixing" anything! I am not against eradicating the evil bastards, wherever they are... but we have sucked at doing it in any sort of efficient way... we (as a whole) are not willing to! Until we are, we should stay the fuck out of the Middle East! Jmo....

I have spent several years, working on six of the seven continents... have you?

[Thibodaux]

Oh , BTW... I suppose you believe Ruby Ridge and Waco were not "terrorist-like" activities, perpetrated by our own "Law Enforcement" , "To Protect and Serve" , tax paid , public servants? Ask Randy Weaver the same question. Look into how he has lived his life after (and before) he had his wife and son murdered by the FBI... peacefully.

Yes, Timothy McVeigh was an idiot who deserved worse than simply being executed.
Why don't we deal with more situations more decisively , effectively, and efficiently?
