Three American diplomats bombed and murdered in Gaza city, Israel. American investigators convene at the bomb site hours later only to be pelted into retreat by a mob of angry Palestinians.

Bush's war with Iraq swells the ranks of al Qaeda and various other Islamic extremist groups.

A crackdown netted some al Qaeda leaders and deprived al Qaeda of bases in Afghanistan. But it also "impelled an already highly decentralized and evasive international terrorist network to become even more 'virtual' and protean and, therefore, harder to identify and neutralize," the IISS report said.

It said 18,000 veterans of al Qaeda's Afghan training camps were still probably operating worldwide "with recruitment continuing and probably increasing following the war in Iraq."

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We are in more danger today than we were in 2001. Bush has worked to galvanize Arab-Muslim extremism around the world. The study linked above says that al Qaeda's striking capabilities have not been reduced by Afghanistan or Iraq (and how many people had to die getting us to the point we're at today? how much money?). Rather we are seeing more anti-American bravery, more American hatred, more success in anti-American terrorist groups, which are incapable of being vanquished by force of arms. I mean hell, I was shocked to hear that the American investigators were stoned and chased away from the bomb site where three other Americans were killed! That is true animosity...

But Western countries need to do more to reach out to Muslim countries and their own Islamic minorities to "eliminate the root causes of terrorism," especially after the Iraq war "almost certainly further alienated Islam from the West."

Now didn't I say this like nine months ago???? :egads:

maybe next time the investigators need a couple Hummers armed with some .50 machine guns and a couple soldiers to clear the way. They throw stones, we can throw bullets. It's not our fault their part of the world is ass-backward. Then again you shouldn't expect a bunch of un-educated cave people to understand why we do what we do, we probably accidently bombed one of their goats or something, if it had been a woman it would have been alright.

Hell naw. I am rolling over here.

The funny thing is we got all this security on planes and crap but who's to say they just rent a U-haul and go run into something here? We are under-estimating our opponants again.:(

Being number one who leads number one nation in the world is a tough job.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but are you trying to say that the Middle East is composed of Un-Educated Cavemen? :rolleyes:

No, cavemen probably treated their women better and most likely had more freedoms, since they didn't have dictators controlling they see, learned and did.

So you are saying Middle Eastern people are lesser than cave people? As in subhuman? Interestingly enough, that's what the Klan thought of black people. Hmmm...

Insignificant enough for you to post an ignorant tirade against Arab-Muslims?
