I know. That's why we still can't actually communicate.

So, hypothetically speaking, do you think we can kill all of the Muslims and just be done with the problem?

Mom's a Muslim. Take that as you will, you racist jerk.

No, I don't. I draw a line between Muslim and Islamicist.

Do you?

(Hi! Long time, and all that . . . )

Invading Iraq prevented terrorist attacks even before we invaded? Interesting.
No, that would have been the Afghanistan invasion which half your camp likes to remember or forget, depending on the context

Quote:

And really, honestly, you think invading Iraq has prevented terrorist attacks? Exactly how?
So far, the proof is in the pudding. Why don't you tell me how it hasn't?

Quote:

And you do know that during that period, there have been numerous successful terrorist attacks against other nations, right?
There have successful attacks in Israel every year as long as you have been alive. Have these made you feel any less safe here? I thought we talking about homeland security.

Quote:

And that in the last fifteen years (at least), there have been exactly two successful attacks by foriegn terrorists in the U.S.?
Well, we did absolutely nothing after WTC 1 back on Clinton's watch - you see how successful that turned out. Perhaps a new strategy was warranted.

Quote:

What possible reason is there to conclude that three years without an attack says anything at all about our ability to prevent attacks? (btw.. we are both obviously leaving the anthrax attacks out of this discussion)
Perhaps a lot - perhaps nothing. But again, I remind you, sitting by idly did nothing but let them sow the seeds for bigger ideas.

Quote:

I think that this is naive, and short sighted, as hell.
So was letting Islamicist aggression go on unchecked since WTC 1.

Thanks, Ty. The Spanish commentary has been sorely absent for some time. I feel positively refreshed catching up. What color white do they really favor for flags, anyway?
I would have thought "Arnaud de Borchgrave" was a French name. Or Korean. Live and learn.

Yes and no. But then again, I really would prefer not to kill any of them.

I've been reading. All I've learned is that Coalition of the Willing member Marshall Islands' economy, like that of Micronesia (and Palau and the Solomon Islands, for that matter), depends heavily* on crafts made from shells, wood, and pearls. I'm really trying to read between the lines here, and figure out why we'd need so many crafts in Iraq. To replaceitems looted from the museums?

And I still haven't figured out WWIII.

*Of course, all of their economies depend most heavily on US assistance. I wonder if that has anything to do with their Willingness.

I'll do it for you, then.

You can thank me later, then, while you're still alive,

So basically the idea is that we should go off an kill someone to show we aren't sitting idly by?

I guess it doesn't matter whether that someone was actually implicated in the attack. Because surely attacking and killing people who feel they have done nothing wrong never causes those people to react violently.

Another hypothetical then. Do you believe that we can eliminate (or substantially reduce) crime by locking up all of the "bad guys?"

Do you not understand that other people can have intellectual processes too? That "Islamicist" can have an exact meaning?
