Although I do believe Osama Bin Laden was behind 9/11, I feel it is partially U.S.'s fault. If I have my story straight, didn't we aide him against the Russians and then leave him and the Afghanistan people to fend for themselves way back when? Aren't we the ones who trained him in his military skills and gave him weapons? If I am correct I understand why he resents us, but don't validate his actions. That's why I feel as bad as we may have messed up, it would be detrimental to abandon such a wealthy country and have the people who appreciate us there resent us as well. Also, again if I'm correct, we had no access to there air space. It very well could have been a haven for terrorist acclivity and we had no real way to infiltrate it to know. I also know if Saddam died naturally without our assistance, I would hate to think what would have happened if Uday the rapist, heroine addict, would have been like if he became ruler.

I concur with Lee, but am also in disagreement. You see you say you understand why he..."OSAMA" resents us??? Well first off your right we did train, arm, and give him all the resources to defeat the Russians. So i fail to see why he would resent us. We helped him. And then he goes off and rams two jet liners into the trade towers???? Thanks a lot. The fact is, he hates all that are not Muslim and those who havent converted to Islam; he has waged his Jihad against the west and will not stop till we live no more or convert to Islam. This man has done wrong and there is no explaning it. He's much like a child. He has done wrong and must be punished. And our brave young men and women are doing what they can to make sure that gets done. I believe we lose sight of that to often. You know its easy to manipulate the uneducated. And thats what they have done in Iraq. They keep their women and all that dont claim Islam as their faith uneducated and even then they only teach them what they want taught or they will be shot...how is that fair. They keep them so uneducated that they fail to see that America is not their enemy, they are their own enemy! And as long as America can see that and take steps towards doing the right thing i will stand with them no matter what! I myself am in the process of joining and aiding this cause. And quite frankly its a mans fuckin duty! And as for Osama mocking U.S. power, well he's the one living in a hole now isn't he? Oh and Karen you are a dumb BITCH! Im pretty damn sure you wouldnt be sayin that if you had lost someone dear in those attacks! So for you and your butt budy Osama I say this...."Odernit Dom Metuant" "Let them hate, so long as they fear"

Yes like a child you was abandoned by his father (the US). I agree with all you say too, Mario. I will be joining as well. Karen, truthfully, as a woman, I think you are clueless to how the woman live, uh exist there. You would have been beaten and killed for sure if you were there. Could you imagine a world where we could get stoned to death because a man raped us. I'm scared to death to think of a world where our basic freedoms are gone. Yes, this country has made mistakes and we are not perfect, but damn at least we have the freedom to express that if we choose to. Don't stop writing Karen. You fuel the fire for fabulous conversations. Mario, what language is that...Latin?

Yes i totally agree with Mario!!!! Seeing how he's my boyfriend and I only have this to say!!.........
So I used to view myself as pretty liberal..but you know what? Next time you hold a sign that says "Books not bombs," might I remind you that last time I checked, it was the Taliban chopping of the teachers heads, not the US troops. So who is not supporting education?
And for all you dumb bitches who tell me Im an "American terrorist", your right. I'm sorry i'm not a big fan of covering myself from head to toe and that I enjoy being able to be educated and can get a job if I want to. Did I mention that I am a fan of not having my clit chopped off?
BAAAAH. Have a nice day thanks!

Lee do you have any idea what it's like there aside from what you see on Fox news? Have you BEEN there, lived amongst the people there? I don't think so. It is much different than you think. Women WANT to cover themselves. It is a different world with different values. Education is a different story-there is much lack of it and it is mostly because of economic reasons. Is a woman getting stoned for a man raping her horribly wrong? Of course and it is wrong under Islamic doctrine. But people in the rural areas, like I said, have a severe shortage of education to learn properly what Islam really is.

Aside from that point, attacking Iraq was WRONG! They had nothing to do with 911, conspiracy or no conspiracy. If you cannot see that, obviously the educational system here is lacking too. And this unjust attack on Iraq has created MORE terrorists and will continue to do so. The whole world has turned against us because America acted with great violence and unfairness towards Iraq. There are over 80 dictators in the world, however, through diplomacy and strengthening of international laws can justice reach peoples all over the world, not barging in some country, destroying the infrastructure, taking away electricity, water, basic necessities, torturing and killing people and then expecting them to think we are so great. That is tom foolery.

On another note, this democracy ruse is all crap. It's not freedom that you are so greatful for, it is your economic status. The freedom so important in America is actually the freedom to engaged in business transactions under a stable system of laws. If you notice in this country there is a law for freaking everything, whereas if you go to a third world country, you are free to pee on the streets. So what is so valuable in America is economic security which gives us our very high standard of living. About one percent of the world has our standard of living. When people have basic living necessities along with luxuries (cars, ipods, computers, ability to take vacations) galore, it tends to create a bubble around them that doesn't let them see the reality of how most of the world really lives.

If the uneducated people ever bother to learn something about Islam from Islamic sources (THAT DOES NOT MEAN FOX NEWS), you will see that Islam, an Abrahamic religion like Judaism and Christianity, ACCEPTS BOTH Judaism and Christianity as valid religions. No other religion does that. And doctrine commands respect of other religions. No other religion does that. Racism does not exist in Islam, where other religions (some sects of Christianity and Judaism, the white race is considered superior).

That is why in Iraq before we destroyed it, Christians, Jews, Muslims lived in peace together. It is astounding to me how much hate against Islam is propogated by the American media. That's why you have idiots like Mario around.

So when I see that moron "bin laden" who I still think is some dude living in the White House basement saying "convert to Islam or else" it is very contradicting to Islam and makes absolutely no sense.

Lee how do you suppose those innocent Iraqis feel when their homes are busted into by GI's with guns, their kids are scared and crying, their daughters get raped, and their house is destroyed? Does your "scared to death" even compare to their "scared to death"? I don't think so honey.

Yes and how do you think woman felt getting raped by Uday and thrown into wood chippers feet first. Weeeee now that sound like fun. Oh, by the way, I'm originally from New York. I suppose 9/11 was a day at the amusement park. Oh, but I forgot, you really believe it was our doing. Ya' know what? Forgive me TP, I think I found the true extremist here...uh, Karen.

Lee you are extremely ignorant and you are just pissed because I am right and you are wrong. I see you will be enlisting in the army. Remember one thing before you and psychopaths true patriot go off on a killing rampage. God is Just and God is Almighty. And you WILL pay for your actions. The Nazis had a hayday killing off all the Jews but they paid and are probably burning in hell. You are like them Lee.

Trust me Karen, if I go to hell I will be holding your hand. Also, for you to expect so much from a stranger, it goes to show what lack of judgment you truly have. You're right God is almighty an is the only one who can judge. When were you appointed the position. I wish people would let me know of these changes in rank. No, I'm not mad at all and no, I don't believe you are right...at all. You are right about one thing tho', I must be ignorant to actually try to have a conversation with you. Funny you talk about Nazis and Jews. Maybe I am a Jew. Oh and you better thank God that psychopaths like TP and I are fighting so you can sit on you fat a** and type this sh*t. I told you before I didn't justify all of US policies, but I will be damned before I let some terrorists bully me and my country into submission.

Well Lee maybe I am a Jew too, or maybe I'm a Baptist. What does that have to do with anything? However, you are extremely judgmental and your fat ass has done nothing to help my ass type this shit. I am typing because God Almighty is allowing me to type, not some punk like you. You can fight and kill all you want, but it is still GOD who allows me to type. So don't you try to take credit for God missy.

You are sooo bitter. Looks like I hit a nerve fat a**. Trust me, I'm no punk and I have an ass that a teenager would be jealous of. As a matter of fact my body is close to perfect. You are the one playing God not me. I really think you need to get laid and lighten up. Maybe the Mr has some extra curricula activities. Sounds like it may be with prostitutes. With an attitude like that, I don't blame him. Missy, LOL, why don't you take you uptight, repressed, fat a** and go pray for a smaller one in church. It is obvious you are to lazy to actually work for it.

Tell me this, honey, are the Iraqi daughters getting raped by our GI's or by the oh so innocent, tolerable and un-brutal Iraqi men? You really *are* an a**hole, aren't you?
