Ohhhhh yes... you ignored Iraq... by 'feeding' them as we all know. ;)
As we also know that terrorism is increasing thanks to YOU america.
To say that America is causing terrorism is a very ignorant statement.
doesn't matter... pls read what I wrote (and maintain). Grateful!
I agree! Another ignorant statement from some misinformed person. There arent more terrorist now then before, what a dumb statement. Thats OK, just sit back like scared little children while the US keeps you safe.
HATRED HATRED HATRED! this is the poison the whole world is swallowing everyday!
Therefore, more guns, bombs, and all sorts of killing machines have been produced in greatest scale at all corners of this crazy world to kill torture and destroy themselves!
The world now is sunk in HATRED and al-Qaida and the murderous crazy religious criminals in the crazy nations have transformed all goommen into murderous killers in so many countries especially in Middle East!
The world is heading into HATRED and people seem to treat each other with bullets and bombs instead of smiles and love!
The tendency of leading people into the poisonous HATRED has proved that the world will have more badmen than good men! and obvously more murderous killers will continue to devastate innocent people and destroy lives of the innocents for no reasonat all as we all have seen in Middle East area such as Iraq, Afghanistan and other places of the world!
Wishing the day human being reject HATRED and focuse on peace and love then the world will have less killing than now!
Sad century of mankind is this time! We can see more and more news filled with murdering and killing wwith all sorts of techniques of destroyingg lives in the world as have been seen for too long!

clinton tried to assasinate osama; read your current events from that time (hint: turn your channel AWAY from fox news - to anything else - from time to time). like bush, clinton was unable to get him. that doesn't make this clinton's fault. the blood is on bush's hands for 500,000 iraqi's + 3,000 americans as he led us into war under false pretences.
note: i would be happy to be at war with the perpetrator for the 9/11 assualt on the u.s. but remember even bush admits that iraq & saddam were not responsible for that attack. so why are we there? to grant them freedom? then why are we not granting freedom to the chinese or anyone else on the planet for that matter?
all i ask is that you think. sit down and really think about this from all sides, not just the one sugar coated and served up for you...
peace
'To say that America is causing terrorism is a very ignorant statement.'
Less than it is to deny that the Bush administration's incompetence is actually feeding terrorism.
He got what was coming to him!!!!!! Look at how many innocent people he killed with his chemicals. The Irqi's lost ALOT of good & innocent people because of the butcher of Bagdad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you believe that the 8 years of Bill Clinton are to blame for terrorism or 9/11 you are wrong. It has been around and cultivated much longer than those 8 years. Bill Clinton may have missed opportunitys to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden. but were his missed opportunities as blatant as 'BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO ATTACK WITHIN US'? Let us remember that Osama was recruited and trained by the US CIA to help with the fight in Afganistan against the Soviets. Wasnt a problem while he was 'helping' us, much like our backing of Saddam while he fought with Iran. Things change, times change, let us think of the impact of our foreign policy on the rest of the world that lives in despair while we shop and wonder why buildings are exploding within our borders......
I am not really surprised anymore by the venom of the anti-Bushes. Conveniently they forget Clinton's war against Serbia just to pacify the Muslim. Well, we saw what happened; 9/11. It only reinforced in them the idea that Mohamed sold them more than 13 centuries ago, namely to convert everybody to Islam by the sward. The best we can do is let them kill each other. Then there will be less of them that we have to kill. It still stands true that a moderate Arab is an Arab that ran out of ammunition.
I think the situation is Iraq has increased the opportunities for extremist recruiting for sure. A great focus for would-be terrorists.
The worst thing about post invasion Iraq, I should say I supported the invasion but I think the work done since then has been a disgrace, is that it has accelerated the race for nuclear weapons amongst 'rogue states.'
It has also emboldened other ugly regimes who now know America is bogged down and over-stretched in Iraq.
So I think the net result is a weaker America and a very negative image abroad, including the other Western countries.
Afghanistan is where we should be putting our resources, Iraq as a single democratic state is no longer a credible goal. Plus democracy does not always have pleasing results...Hamas etc.
The Iranian government must be very happy indeed, their old enemy destroyed and their influence in the oil rich southern part of Iraq growing each day. Plus the US and UK now looking to them for help and for them to stop their nuclear programme. A pretty good position I would guess.
Iraq and sadam had nothing what so ever to do with the events of september 11
Dick, donald and the other neo-cons convinced an illegaly elected retard to
invade Iraq for oil and nothing else. This has always been the plan for money and oil. Yes sadam was a looney but not even a patch on thes dangerous terrorists. And to 'California', America and misguided sheep like you are the biggest cause of hatred and terrorism in the world today. Everyone else in the world who does not have a vote for the American presidency lives in fear of
what stupid greedy mistakes that chimp will make next.
Remember that America is the only nation who has ever used a nuclear bomb on any
other nation.
hanging was inappropriate but clarifies partially why the USA is known as the LSA [lying states of america] > i'm sure most americans have no understanding of how two-faced tttthe current regime is .........
Saddam was a weak dictator who did not have the A-bomb. He would be free if he had one and they would be interesting in talking to him. How about bringing Kim Jong of North Korea, who has committed equally cruel crimes against humanity to justice, the way they did it to Saddam? Does Bush have the spine to do it ?
Someone has come up with a plan, but nobody mentions it: Sen. Joe Biden. He has an excellent plan, but nobody talks about it because that would steal thunder from Hillary's presidential ambitions.
Cool. Mr. Bush please light your cigar. Mr. Cheney you may now go on your lawyer hunting safari. All the troups please load up your gear. Yeah!!!! The war is over! What do mean it's not over yet? We killed their leader! We're done. The enemy soldiers all surrendered. Why do we have to stay and kill all the civilians. Oh I almost forgot. We have to protect the precious OIL. God sometimes it's so embarrassing being American. Especially a Desert Storm vet. Maybe I'll feel better when Bush and Cheney get the same trial as Saddam got. Happy New Year.
Brian, you are correct, in that we are the only nation to use 'the bomb' as you call it. Others (Britain) helped us with it, but it's on our head.
In 1941, we were the most pacifist nation on earth. The result:
We were attacked.
We saved...how many nations, 50 maybe, from the scum of humanity.
You and your liberalis cry foul even if the circumstances require action. Bush, a man who, absolutely does not give a crap if people love him, intervened, correctly. Did Saddam cause 9/11?
No.
Did he aid, (Zarqawi) and shelter(Nidal) finance (Fatah, Hamas)and allow safe passage for terrorists? Yes. Did he conduct a genocidal war with his neighbors? Yes.
We are the United States of America. Our friends live under our protection, are wealthy as the result of our trade with them, and our enemies cower when confronted. We were once a nation of pacifists, but we were attacked. We are slow to anger.
If this is wrong,so be it.
Now, the Liberal wants action in Darfur. My advice: go kiss Bush's ass and beg him. He is a gracious man, and he has his hands full trying to free 50 million people, but he is also generous. Ask nicely, because you cowardly, duplicitous liberals have no goodwill left to trade on.
bulkid said: 'It still stands true that a moderate Arab is an Arab that ran out of ammunition.'
Maybe you could try to rise above the level of disgusting bigotry, and use your brain, which is right now only grey mush that weakly absorbs media induced hysteria.
The world is sitting at the cliff of destruction!
All nations are now preparing for how to deal with killing coming from other nations! No nations in this world can escape from the importing effords of all sorts of destructions and murdering activities!
This disaster has rooted from the philosophy of using HATRED to destroy others!
In summary, the world has to find ways to convince the entire population in this world to abandon HATRED in their mind and come to cooperate with each other to bring peace and love to replace HATRED sown deep and brainwashed their childish minds for so long!
USA alone can never bring peace to any nation! and even with cooperations of all its allies to find ways to bring peace to the hot spots of the world such as Iraq, Afghanistan, etc will be nonesense! why? beause the minds of the local people in these hot spots are brainwashed with HATRED and their main effords are to destroy each other and condemn as much as possible each other as will continue to be seen for an unlimitted amount of time!
The world has entered into a much more risky situation that more killings of all sorts will be 'invented' to treat each other!
No one in this world can bring peace to others while more and more people have headed toward the solution as using HATRED as an killing inspiration to conduct more killings to others! That why we can see al-Qaida, Hamas, Hebolas etc the dedicated murderers of the world have sharpened their minds to create more killings to all other innocents of the world!
Sad world! is the place we are living in!
All Americans must find ways to avoid being in danger with the murderous crazy brainwashed bad guys with all sorts of stupid religious belief in their minds!

Today is a very sad occasion for the democracy of Iraq.I want to congratulate the democratically elected president of Iraq.You have set a fine example as the leader of Iraq. It's great to learn that since the old days of saddam's barbaric regime that little has changed in terms of moving forward towards living peacefully as civilised human beings!!!...
God bless Saddam on this blessed day in the Muslim calender and may god show him mercy and forgive him for all his sin's. Allaha almighty forgives all his creation!
