Mmmmm, red meat. America and 'prejudice'.
I'll try to get worked up.

pure silliness from smithinjapan:
".. it's needed, since you still think your former president was a better choice than the President-Elect,"
Have I ever said this?
No.
Why?
They never ran against one another.
One has had two terms as POTUS.
The other is still President-elect.
There is just no logic in your arguments.

It is fascinating - and commendable- to see how non-Americans come here to learn about the United States of America. Some even go to the trouble to learn about governors from minor states like New Mexico, in order to find ways to help minorities and women in places like Canada overcome the racism and sexism still so prevalent there.
Good work.

"Canada has increased their greenhouse gas output by over 25% since 1990 (the US has a 16% increase) instead of reducing it by 6% as promised."
Shocking.
Can we go so far as to say they have made themselves legitimate targets for the eco-terror that is so popular with young "progressives" around the world?

smithin japan, a little too long:
"Ummm... maybe because they [Pakistan] are being blamed for a lot of this, by a lot of people on this board who lack any kind of know-how to boot? "
You think Urdu-speaking Pakistan comes here for its news and to decide how to respond to international criticism of its rogue ISI?
You have lost all perspective.

' I saw a cartoon featurinf two martians landing from outer space. Upon encountering GWB they say, "Take us to your president-elect." '
That's about right.

Add to that number the WHO quote (which they declared was conservative) of 40,000 infant deaths now annually prevented in Afghanistan as a direct result of the US - led ouster of the medieval Taliban. Multiply it by seven.
How can anyone knock this? Good stuff. I hope Obama matches Bush.
Amazing. I knew my nation was generous but this blows me away.

smithinjapan, with more embarrassing errors:
"Yeah... 50 million that never asked liberating; 50 million, of whom 10% are dead because of the illegal rush to invade;"
5 million dead in Iraq? That's a lot of Muslim on Muslim violence.
You've spent so many hours here denying and defending the propensity for violence in Islam. Are you sure you want to go with that figure?
Illegal invasion?
According to whom?
Congress voted.
The UN is a joke.

195 dead. Unlike in Iraq I doubt the media will get around to giving the details of each death, especially since the final toll - expected to reach around 300 - means an attack that killed more than ever died in a single day in 'occupied' Iraq.
And just out of curiosity - where were all the snide, clever gun control advocates that pop up on any thread about gun violence in the States?
"If all those commuters and hotel guests had each been packin heat this never would have happened."

Bush uses final 50 days in office to tout legacy
50 million liberated from Saddam Hussein's Nazi-inspired Baathist regime in the British creation known as Iraq. Works out to one million a day. Very nearly the population of Canada and Australia combined.
India, the world's most populous democracy, firmly on America's side.
Africa, even his critics admit, has never benefitted more from any American president, which is to say no leader anywhere has done more to help that tragic continent.
In modern America, where Howard Zinn is the most "popular" historian at the secondary and collegiate level, saying historians will judge Bush harshly is like saying the media is slightly to the left.

smithinjapan:"Hahaha! This coming from a guy who cries out for proof that 'a single Mohammedan cleric' condemns the attacks, and when he gets proof of world-wide condemnation by Muslims simply grumbles and says, "Oh, well... shucks... them's just words! Not actions!"
Worldwide condemnation, smith??
Not from Muslim clerics.
Do try and read more carefully.
And I repeat: Talk is cheap.
Where are the fatwas? Hundreds dead. Tortured. Women and children among them.
And yet the killers who survived the massacre are still safer than Salman Rushdie.
So you keep banging away, smith.

Just read a report at Newsbusters of some liberal egghead on MSNBC wondering aloud why acts of brutal and unspeakable terror are still occurring.
"There had been such a global outpouring of affection, respect, hope, with the new administration coming in, that precisely these kinds of attacks, it was thought — at least hoped — would be dampered down. But in this case it looks like Barack Obama is getting a preview of things to come."
Ya don't say.

smithinjapan with a common error that the Left's apologists for Islamo-fascism make:
"It came from radicals who twisted the teachings."
Actually, it comes from radicals who, in the true sense of the word 'radical',seek to force a return to the original aim of their movement, to the 7th century, to the killing that Islam's illiterate brigand and founder himself engaged in.
It's all in their holy book.
Have you read it?
I am positive you haven't.
You don't know what you write about.

' In Britain, home to nearly two million Muslims, a spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain, Inayat Bunglawala, said that “a handful of terrorists like this bring the entire faith into disrepute.” '
I knew I had seen that name before:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/007775.php
"In January 1993, Mr Bunglawala wrote a letter to Private Eye, the satirical magazine, in which he called the blind Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman "courageous" - just a month before he bombed the World Trade Center in New York. After Rahman's arrest in July that year, Mr Bunglawala said that it was probably only because of his "calling on Muslims to fulfil their duty to Allah and to fight against oppression and oppressors everywhere".
[...]
Five months before 9/11, Mr Bunglawala also circulated writings of Osama bin Laden, who he regarded as a "freedom fighter", to hundreds of Muslims in Britain...."

'Jihad' appears forty times in the Koran.
Islam is a religion which treats women like chattel, still allows for slavery and prescribes the death penalty for apostates and homosexuals. Does anyone with a brain in their head seriously believe that the word jihad, as Islam's apologists on the Left would have us believe, means 'interior struggle'?

Before they even get to the terror that now defines their religion for many outside of it they need to address the sexism and intolerance within their ranks. The treatment of women and apostates would be a good place for Mohammedans to start. I, for one, would be much more inclined to take this as real effort towards joining the rest of humanity than I ever would statements and media blurbs from the (invariably male) heads of Islamic organizations.

Khobar Towers, 9-11, Bali night club bombings, Madrid massacre, 7/7 bombings in London, Beslan elementary school massacre, Mumbai massacre.
And this from just the last 15 years of Islam's blood-soaked history.
The list gets longer and longer.
