I'm shifting around here because I really despise repeating myself. Just for your information, the Arab's anger has only really existed in the past century. And if you would care to think, people use religion to back up a lot of things. Let's say the Crusades, the Salem Witch Trials, etc. etc. It's a lot easier to get people to do things when religion is involved. Christ, right now we're not looking at an America free of terrorism. We're looking at whether or not America will be free. Look at all the liberties that have snatched from our fingers. And for what? A paranoia that every person may be a terrorist? Sure, it's good to prepare, but we haven't prepared. We've pushed paper around, making it seem all fine and dandy, but really, we haven't done crap to prepare against a terrorist strike. Do you think it is really that hard to recruit five guys and infiltrate them into this nation? They don't need to smuggle a bomb in - they can just build some here. Plant the explosives and multiple buildings can be destroyed easily. They can hide and move to another part of the country, and we might not even be able to catch them. And indecisive, who do you think I was talking about - the only Chris arguing here.
Also, I never really liked taking nations away and giving them to people. Jews could have had a nice home anywhere else, say in Africa. Many of the Arabs were already pissed at them during World War II, as they had allied with Hitler, and the Muslim leaders used their religion to turn the Arabs against the Jews, whom had once been their friends. It's a multi-generational hatred you see in the Middle East. Sure, the freedom thing is wonderful, but frankly they do not have the experience necessary to have control over their nation. Nor can the United States have a military presence there indefinitely. The execution of the invasion of Iraq had all the militaristic perfection of Napoléon's invasion of Russia. What we've done is in essence created anarchy in Iraq, and our soldiers are the only thing keeping a small level of peace over there. We're training meatshields. Do we give them high-grade weapons? Do we give them tanks? Humvees? Where is their air force? You say George Bush is not the worst president, but I say he is has all the idiocy that America demands of him, and he has

ed up nearly every aspect of America - our economy, our liberties, our schools, etc. etc. The Middle East is at a boiling point.
That is some truly amazing intellect at work there. I'm glad you have sufficient trust in our president to raise him above a monkey, though I don't know if you should do it by much.

What liberties have we lost? mmmm I haven't been effected by anything besides longer lines at security check points in Air Ports, which is fine by me cause I would not like a terrorist on my plane. Schools? Did you know Bush has given WAY MORE MONEY to schools then Clinton and past presidents have ever done and some how he is still getting bashed, what the hell. He finally does something you guys want and you still yell at him for it. Our Economy was still a shit whole before Bush was elected. On the monkey thing its called sarcasm. also, what would you know about how Iraq is? How their government is. How their army is? I do cause I read that fanastic book which illistrates how we are training Iraqis to become soldiers. Trust me, we have the best and best trained army in the world teaching another army how to do the same, we aren't training meat shields, since you know so much about how we are training them, give me one specific example on how WE are training THEM on how to clear structures of possible enemys. The only problem is Iraq has been its own government for about 3 MONTHS. Nations take YEARS to develope. Don't expect instant success as you are now.
