Hatred begets hatred
Violence begets violence
War begets war
and
Retribution begets retribution.
If you destroy all the major terrorist groups, the minor ones will rise up...and the war will never end.
Wouldn't it be better to get to the reason WHY terrorist groups rise up, and bring our forces towards the erradication of the kind of hatred, and it's source, which is directed at us and that we, in turn, direct at others?

Still looking for logic in the illogical and reason in the unreasonable? This isn't some kind, loving, feel-good place. I wish it were, but I know better. Violence begets violence is fine, for an individual, but these aren't individuals we're dealing with. Next thing you know, you'll be telling us that violence never solved anything...

Wearing your 'rose-colored glasses' again, freako? People are idiots, Eric. You know it...I know it...we all know it. We choose who is most able to lead us accordingly. We then, in order to justify our choice, follow the lead idiot until we can find another idiot that's even less-equipped to lead us, or we're dead. As long as we like the message, the messenger doesn't matter.

Too cute for words
You know, here's how I read that response. If we found out that the only reason the terrorists hate us is because Dubya picks his nose on TV, you would then put a video of him picking his nose on every five minutes.
If you never understand your enemy's motivation, you can never hope to defeat him. The best you can hope for is to annihilate him, and you'd better not miss one. Plus, that is the same as "F*ck it, lets just kill 'em all."

it doesnt drift into my consciousness on an everyday basis, but when i do think of it, and especially when i see things like this... it's like i'm still in my computer class that fateful day, staring at the tv screen mounted on the ceiling, mouth agape, in tears....

They are simply a product of their environment
their actions are not subject to our moral code.
Their society and their actions are as valid as ours
and cannot be judged to be any less valid or just than ours.
Besides we brought this on ourselves through our
decadent society. We should strive to measure up to
the Islamic standard of conduct.

OK, Winky - fair enough. But next time, you might want to use the [facetious] tags to help dense people such as myself in on your joke. I'm a little touchy when it comes to patriotism.

Another fine example of people reading into my posts what only they wish to see. Maybe I ought to call up my Arab friends, just like my black & hispanic friends, and warn them of my not liking them. I am after all the perfect racist. I have no evidentiary problems with certain aspects of our diverse culture,
only racial hatreds for those different from my particular melanin content. Say something intelligent or say nothing at all.
