So I was reading the paper today, when I come across a story of a couple of people that were killed a couple days ago for watching the World Cup on TV. Seems a few Muslim extremists decided that this man and teenage girl needed to die because there was no TV in the days of Mohammed, and therefore, they should die for watching TV.

They used AK 47’s to kill the couple….

Apparently, Mohammed had AK 47’s in 621 AD, so that must be okay….

Seriously, though, is there ANYONE that understands the threat that extremists like this truly pose? Am I the only one that truly sees World War Three looming on the horizon? These are people that will kill you on a whim, based on a twisted interpretation of a centuries old, extremely violent book, and it seems that all we can get out of the vast majority of the populace is criticism of the people that are actually DOING something to try and stop them.

They hate Bush, who, along with a select few others, is the only one with the cojones to actually do something and take a stand. Whether he did the right thing or not is certainly up for debate, but the fact is that at least he did SOMETHING!!!!

They hate Israel, who, to date, has NEVER committed an act of aggression unless provoked, and has acted in self defense every single time it’s come to arms. They get criticized for the way they complete their campaign, or that they “go too far” and present disproportionate responses. I say, good for them. We all need to begin making the penalty for hateful violence so terrible and disproportionate that no one would dare ever try it. They are attacked daily, and seem to show MONUMENTAL amounts of restraint in their responses. The most recent developments are perfectly proportionate to what was done to them. I would hope my President would have the cojones to do the same thing for me if I were ever kidnapped by bloodthirsty, beheading savages.

The rest of the pansies running the civilized nations of the world are too worried about offending Muslims to actually take a stand and put a stop to the violence that the extremists dole out daily.

I am also wondering why you do not see more people in Islam demanding these extremists to stop killing in the name of their God. If Christians ever started doing that again, you can bet there would be a SERIOUS response on the behalf of the rest of the Christians of the world decrying such acts.

Can anyone help me make sense of this? Why does the world tend to see the BAD GUYS in this case as a kind of bullied, picked on class that needs to be protected, and the GOOD GUYS as ugly aggressors who are picking on these poor souls in the name of greed and oil?

I see the world’s denial in this matter in much the same way I see it’s denial of the Nazi problem in Germany 70 years ago. Only, this time, I fear that there will still be so many guilt-ridden pansies crying out to stop the racial hatred of the “poor, profiled Muslims” that it will be hard to get the job done this time. You can bet your butt that if you took the exact same events that are happening today and replaced “Muslims” with “White Guys” that you’d have every liberal in America beating down the door wanting to go to war. What gives? They talk about racial equality, yet see everything along race lines, and make every decision contingent upon the race of the persons involved. I don’t get it…

I agree with you Hoss, I am beginning to think I watch and listen to too much news. What are some of these people in America thinking. Our solders can't "hiccup or fart" without being charged with something, yet they can behead, burn, torture, and everything else to our men and our own media, certain politicians, schools professors and others say that it's all the US's fault.

I believe many of the Muslims are too afraid to do or say any thing against the fundamentalist for fear they or their families will be tortured and murdered too.

Hey Hoss,
I don't think WWIII is on the horizon, I think we are smack dab in the middle of it. And unfortunately for our side, there are waayyyyy too many touchy feely types who want to give peace a chance and another chance and another chance. It is like the Western world players are following the Neville Chamberlain doctrine, Russia, China and France are trying to bend us over any chance they get. And as for our middle eastern allies that is just a contradiction in terms.
In my signature for a while I had a line in their about our soldiers being sent to jail for letting a dog bark to close to a terrorist, putting panties on some jerks head, and so on (the rape stuff is a whole different animal if they are guilty), yet their gov't wants to give amnesty to those who "just killed Americans". Hey man, war is hell and if you want to play by those rules then our guys and gals go free as well and we call it even steven.
ThreeJacks, as far as many muslims being scared to stand up for fear of retribution, I don't know who said it but have seen this many times "The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing". Stand up to the plate fellas and take your frickin' religion of peace back from those who are bastardizing it.
And as for our Nation, some of our good men and women did stand up at the plate and protect their borders and got labelled "vigiliantes" by none less than our beloved president. The same man who said "Report suspicious activity to the authorities"!?!?!???????
We have been castrated by the liberal culture in this Nation and I don't see it getting better in the future and it frustrates me to no end. I want my boy to grow up in a Nation whose leaders have an ounce of common sense.
I say all of this having served in the first Gulf War and re-upped when this one started, and also let it be known that there is no (D) or (R) after my name just an (A) for AMERICAN!!!!!!!!! And I truly believe the line "To Secure peace is to prepare for war" Teddy Roosevelt would have had a hay day with this period in time. Ronald Reagan would have been good to have around right about now as well.
Just my thoughts and I will now step down from my soapbox.
God Bless our Troops and the Israeli's as they open their can of Whoop A** and spread it around.

ill probably get chewed a new butt hole for this but im gonna say it any ways.if they wanna fight and kill each other over there LET THEM!!its not our problem.instead of feeding thier poor,hungry and homeless,take care of our own poor hungry and homeless people.

sadam killing his own people,oh well.apparantly they must have liked it or they wouldve done something about it them selves.i think a whole country of people could have taken him out with ease.

this "war on terror"is a crock of s*%t if you ask me.if i remember correctly the war was started because osama had guys fly planes into the world trade center and the pentagon.why the hell did we attack iraq that had nothing to do with it?why dont we have osama?im still waiting to see the WMDs that sadam supposedly had.i would imagine that somebody from our country has seen them in order for bush to decide sadam had them and use it for an excuse to attack them.so if somebody has seen them,where the hell are they??????


well these are my views,thoughs and questions in wich i am entitled too.if yall dont like it oh well.:sorry

Just a thought here but what if we just stop tying to mold the world into what a few think is a perfect democracy. It seems the more we poke our nose into the middle east the dirtier it gets. If they want to destroy each other, let them. They've been fighting for thousands of years already, who are we to step in. It used to be only a few nations hated us now even Canada is backing away. When did we become such an arrogant nation of shoot first ask questions later. We keep stepping into situations to fix but we make a bigger mess than before.

I have two words for our elected officals, STOP IT. Take a break and listen to what's going on around you. Does someone have to fly a plane into a building to get your attention?

This reminds me a saying I used to hear a few years ago, Fighting for peace is like sc****ing for virginity... I guess we didn't learn anything from that...:(

and that's all I'm going to say...

According to teh book written by Saddam's top general, all the WMDs were dismantled immediately prior to the war (afterall, we told them when and where we would be) and shipped to Syria. I suspect they are still right where they were hidden. Of course, that book would support Bush so the media completely ignores it. Sure would be fun to jam that book down Michael Moore's fat yap.

Book here
