Re: Explosions in London
George Carlin is absolutely correct in that statement. Add a few words and see if it makes any more sense. 'Religion (Islam) is doing what you're told (wear headscarves, wear explosive vests, etc.), regardless of what's right (love thy neighbor), Morality (Western Civilization style), is doing what is right (exterminating A-holes that wish you dead), regardless of what you are told (by the whining liberal types that wish to make peace with terrorists).'<br /><br />AAAGH! Now I know why I hate to talk about politics. No hate on y'all, just had to get that off my chest.

<br /><br />"I don't think anyone could improve on Saddam's ability to stifle political dissent and keep the population in line, which of course is why we took out Saddam in the first place.<br /><br />Now, in order to solve this problem, we need to get more Saddam-like.<br /><br />Now that is rich! "<br />_____________________________________________________<br />PW2 you are mistaken to think that we deposed Saddam because of his treatment to his own people, on the contrary, though we did not tell him to subjugate his fellow Iraqis in such a brutal manner, we did however supplied him the tools for his gastly endeavours, and it never bothered us then especially since he was doing our bidding against the Iranians.<br />Saddam had to be deposed because he became a political liability. <br />His erratic behaviour combined with his insular mentality simply could not be tollerated in this new world order, after 9/11 (no proven connection to Saddam) things had to change.<br />Whether or not one likes or dislikes the Bush administration, that in itself is not sufficient grounds to be for or against the war in Iraq.<br />The big question is how we fight this war, the politicians need to keep their noses out of it and let the military do their job.<br />We are definitely taking too soft an approach in this war, the population of that region view that as a weakness.
