"The terrorists belive time is on their side"

If the terrorists are prevented for 20 years from launching the next successful major attack, when they finally do, they'll be seen as the victors. There will always be terrorists plotting dastardly deeds. All we can do is try to thwart them and kill or capture as many of them as we can.

For once, Sarge and I are in agreement. Let's go to Afghanistan in greater numbers and start taking out the terrorists' leaders.

Sarge - "There will always be terrorists plotting dastardly deeds."

But there's no need to go and create more, as the Bush policies you and USANeoCon have supported have done.

That's just dumb, I'm afraid.

You guys have played straight into the terrorists' hands becuase you completely failed to think about the consequences of your actions.

Can we get any coverage of Ahmadinejhad's speech at the UN ? Apparently it went down big. He believes we are in the final days. And he again says Israel is finished and - bonus for those of us on teh Left! - the american empire is in collapse. As a devout secularist I find his (and any) religion abhorrent but us progressives need the rage that Muslims bring into the mix.

peace.

So SushiSake what do you propose we do? Sit and look like pretty little targets for terrorists and let the go back to regroup and come back for another hit? Are you are a suicidal defeatist? I really wouldn't vote you into office. Now that would just be DUMB I'm afraid. You have played right into the terrorists hands counting on the west to be as politically correct as when "World Opinion" prevented the UN from taking out Hussein long ago in 1991.

Well, Ahmedinejad is on the side of our leftist friends... no surprise there.

sushisake, I'm afraid that you're being a bit naive about this. Just like the anarchists of the late 1800s the present day terrorists don't need a reason to attack, they have their ideaology to drive them to act. Their excuses are just the typical carping of lunatics. Anybody who is going to start blowing up people to press a point is warped. They will just as gladly kill you as they would Sarge. Or me. Or Cleo. It's the nature of the beast. Evil doesn't need an excuse. Ahmedinejad is evil. To his own people as well as to everybody else. Don't think so? Try living in Iran for a bit.

Looks like Ahmedinejad has replaced Che as the new hero of the left. When will the Ahmedinejad with an AK-47 t-shirts start showing up? Or are they already out?
LFRAgain at 08:53 AM JST - 25th September

No, no, no. You've got it all wrong, guys. Hugo Chavez is the new Che Guevera of the left! C'mon! I thought you guys knew what was up?

violance only creates more violance. Shooting terrorists will only produce more terrorist. Its good that most of you are agreeing that there seem to be no end of terrorists. Its a matter of time you should realise that violance is not the answer. If you at them they will go at you. Which is terrorist? *shrugs
bushlover at 11:04 AM JST - 27th September

Violance is not the answer? Tell that to terrorists. Don't do anything and they think they are winning and are emboldened to continue. Nip it in the bud is my philosophy.

The fact is, President Bush was telling the truth: Iran supports Hizboullah and Hamas, not to mention the Shiite militias in many parts of the middle east. Ahmadenijad giving a "pollice verso" to President Bush ought to be taken asa badge of honor.

President Bush is not the worst president in USA History: There are many, many who were worse than him, Carter and Clinton being but two...

In fact, I believe History will show that President Bush was as good as gold, and right in so many of his decisions...

Iran has been dogging us since the Beirut embassy bombing in '83 and the subsequent attack on the marine barracks. Odds are, Iran played a major role in 9/11.

Liberal fundamentalists and "devout secularists" like to believe that the Muslim Brotherhood are their brothers, too. Seeing as how they've exhausted their last flimsy moral fiber "fighting" for abortion rights, it's not surprising that they've fallen into the Kool-Aid again.

5,000 women per year die in "honor killings" but the silly lefties are consumed with paranoia over the Christian Right. Ahmadenijad is feted by the Che Guevara t-shirt set (the most heavily closeted anti-Semites around) after announcing a few months back that there are no homosexuals in Iran. Again, the Kool-Aid besotted idiots prefer to focus their histrionic outrage at the Christian Right.

While the full sound and fury of the fundamentalist left is directed at the safest targets around, jokers like Ahmadenijad and Chavez are combining their ideological forces for the express purpose of bringing down the US. Were they ever to succeed, the hateful left imagines that life would be one big party, an orgy of freedoms. Do they know nothing of Islamic fundamentalism?

In the wake of 9/11, 3 million persons perished when the humanitarian aid they so desperately needed was not forthcoming. But, most tragically, the left prefers throw their breathless support behind the murderers of women, gays and starving Africans.

From Beirut in '83, to Khobar Towers, the World Trade Center bombings of '93, the attack on the USS Cole, and the cowardly despicable attacks on the embassies in Tanzania & Kenya, terrorism was on the rise until Bush went on the offense. Since then, state-sponsored terror has been blunted and decent Muslims in the Middle East are increasingly turning against al-Qaeda. History will be kind to George Bush, even if the Kool-Aid drinkers presently fill the air with their strident, unfocused hysteria.

jiminezsnyder,

When you begin your post with an unsupported accusation, it's not surprising that you don't get more of a response.

What major role did Iran play in 9/11?

If you mean that Iran was one of the first nations to offer condolences or if you mean that Iran was instrumental to our mission in Afghanistan, fine. But if you mean that Iran contributed to the attack on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, etc., do be good enough to tell us what they did and how you know that.

Did Ahmadinejad really claim that the American Empire is about to collapse?

Doesn't sound like spiteful rhetoric to me, sounds like a reasonable prediction of the next year or two.
