    Terrorism is much alive as is the ignorance

    Some people on this website and community actually beleive that the USA is the responsible party for terrorism; and that if we only brought back all our troops all over the world, rejected Mideast oil, held the Jihadis hand and have a cold beer with them, that all this will evaporate and everythings going to be peachy.

    Providing a list of terrorist activity does not show the cause.
    The path is clear
    Though no eyes can see
    The course laid down long before.
    And so with gods and men
    The sheep remain inside their pen,
    Though many times they've seen the way to leave.

    The average American is in much greater peril of being raped, robbed, run into by a drunk driver then personally experiencing a terrorist act.

    The point of terrorist act is to kill what few they can and scare the rest of us in such a way that we think, feel, behave differently.

    When terrorists are responsible for as many deaths in this country as those caused by life style choices such as smoking, overeating/poor diet, lack of exercise etc. then I'll be concerned.

    Hell, more people in this country kill themselves in a year then foreign born terrorists can ever dream of matching.

    If you want to spend your life feeding on the governments steady diet of paranoia, bon appιtit. I just wish I didn't have to pay for it.
    The difference between taxes and robbery is the mode of coercion.

    So where exactly does 'we fight them over there' take place since there is pretty much every country on this planet? Why won't these terrorists stop multitasking? Damn them!

    Anywho, the term 'terrorist', it seems, is the new boogeyman in this day and age. It is still humans destroying humans. Been going on since man was created. The world's media hypes it up enough though to continue the old 'good vs evil' B.S. Everyone's enemies are considered terrorists or good or evil, depending on how they view things.

    The real terrorists are the weapon manufacturers. They are the corporations who make the weapons. They are the individual who makes their own murdering weapon. What other purpose is there for making a weapon? Now that is terror.

    The cause is the Islamo-Fascists want to convert to Islam or kill everyone else in the world.

    There is no reasoning or negotiating with these fanatics.

    You kill them before they kill you.

    Period.

    You are just lucky you live in a country where others volunteer to risk their lives so that you have the luxury to affect your effete attitude in a placid environment.

    As for me, I hope that Northrup, General Dynamics, et al kept developing advanced weapons.

    So that, when the stupid, craven Russians sell their "advanced" weapons to the Iranians and Syrians, that ours will take them out like they were stone axes.

    The Russians are so stupid that they seem to think the toys they sell to Iran/Syria won't find their way to Chechans, to be used on Russians.

    Nobody is acting on my behalf.

    If anyone wants to sacrifice their life while looking for weapons of mass destruction (I need a minute here...I can't laugh this hard and type.... WMD's....that's a good one)...anyway, where was I, oh yeah...if anyone wants to volunteer to jeopardize their life by implementing this government’s duplicitous foreign policy that's their decision.

    INTERESTINGLY you agree with me that "the only person preventing you from becoming a victim is yourself", yet you think I need this country’s government / military to maintain my freedom?

    The only true threat to my freedom is this government!

    I think the only terrorist you'll ever face is the mental illness that's stealing what little sound mind you had to begin with.

    The difference between taxes and robbery is the mode of coercion.

    Protecting yourself from East Side scum is one thing.

    State-sponsored terrorism is something else again.

    So, are you in the "Bush Lied; there never were WMDs in Iraq" camp?

    I can't believe you would even ask that question. Anyone who believes that there were WMD in Iraq when we launched operation "shock & awe" is living in denial. The point is not even debatable.
    The path is clear
    Though no eyes can see
    The course laid down long before.
    And so with gods and men
    The sheep remain inside their pen,
    Though many times they've seen the way to leave.

    I noticed the vast amount of terrorist attacks listed on your post were outside the US. That, it seems to me, is not our business!! It's someone else's. But you like so many others, continue to be a bleeding heart for the rest of the world. If you want to talk about terrorism, why not talk about how much US money is sent to other countries to start little wars. Or about the fact that US Pharmaceutical companies only send out of date medications to the third world countries that need it the most. If you want to find terrorists then look inside your own government and you will find plenty!!

    Strange, this is what I think of you, biker. I don't see you packing up to go fight the terrorists. But you sure will keep it going so others have to.

    There is no reasoning or negotiating with these fanatics.
    You kill them before they kill you.
    Period.
    I noticed a lot of IRA and UDL activities on that list. Don't tell me that you think that the Moslims infiltrated those groups as well?
    Here's an idea for you. Let's let the cigerette companies go into business OVERTIME. Then we can have the government buy up all those smokes. Then we can fly them over Palestine, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and any other country on Bush's hit list.
    Our ultimate annihilation of these countries won't come overnight, but it will come!

    Think you can trust the government?

    You've either got reading comprehension problems again or are trying that simple debating trick again. The ol' "I'll restate your comment to make you look stupid."

    Besides, I wasn't rattling your cage that time.
