again, what solutions do you (lsvtec) and sixtysecondassissin have regarding this problem we have with islamic fundamentalists.
all over the world people are loosing their lives due to bombings...
and as far as the middle east is concerned, women are not allowed to vote or drive cars and have virtually zero rights. i don't know where you guys get your information but i have talked to girls and guys that have lived in the middle east and now attend eckerd college.
i wonder what publications you are reading and would like you to document your sources. and our government is the most powerful and one of the most intelligent in the world. yes, president bush has the intelligence of a snail but he is just the spokesperson for a larger group of people making decisions.
vice president chaney is very intelligent and another congressman worth listening to is john mccain. he has fought for this country, was a prisoner of war in vietnam and his voice is reasonable and intelligent when discussing iraq.
thankfully we don't have people like you running this country, because it would become a globalized society with increased vulnerability and erroded human rights. this war is a fight for our freedom, to protect what americans have and other countries don't have...etc..etc.
everytime an asshole commits an act of terrorism it errodes on the freedom we take for granted. i swear you guys don't see this...its like you're blind to the obvious. or maybe its just as i like to describe all liberals...as being too idealistic to be realistic. seriously, look at the world as it is and think of ways to solve this problem.
saddam hussein is only now agreeing to UN inspections because he knows that in a few short weeks his regime would be destroyed. then, this jockeying goes back and forth between UN resolutions and other smoke screens that just buy him time. plus, if bill clinton had taken a stronger stand on terrorism (and i'm sure you supported him) we wouldn't have the problems were having now.
basically, the world turned its shoulder and let the middle east exist without outside intervention, especially have 1998, and saddam hussein's weapon's program goes under full scale operation again.
plus, regimes in afghanistan and even pakistan were known to harbor and have close ties to bin laden allowing them to operate freely. yet bill clinton did nothing to combat this and in return, 3000 fucking people die. how can you overlook this...i just dont' get it.
3000 people, innocent american lives!!!!
try asking someone who lost their son, father or mother in this attack and then rethink your position on this issue.
