I used to have some element of doubts over just how far the big wigs in the US are ready to go, to get there way and fill there pockets. Believing that people can't surely be that twisted, arrogant and heartless. But after I saw a documentary, in which various figure heads were interviewed. One still rings in my head, where the former head of the CIA, when directly questioned (specifically about the hug list of names of various people who have gone missing and the families asking for there accounting) by the interviewer, responded along the lines of. That the world needs the US (as a police) even though it doesn't know or accept it. And he refused to acknowledge the people going missing even though the evidence being presented was so flaming clear. Eventually the twit actually said the US will continue to do whatever it takes to maintain its position and do what it believes is right. And casualties such as this, and in the future, are perfectly acceptable. Its then that it really became clear, that its just a sad fact that people in power are all just mad with well power and do whatever they can get away with to maintain it, no matter how messed up there actions are. And cheating, lying, twisting things comes hand in hand with that.

You have to living under a rock or short of a few brain cells if you don't see that this is all based around oil, money and maintaining cough stability in Middle East i.e. keeping Israel on top of things. Don't get me wrong I do indeed believe the Taliban are good for nothing clowns and need a boot up the ass. But to believe that and maintaining world peace against the evil all destructive terrorists. Is well just sad and ridiculous.

So say your interpretation, and others will come out with different ones. At the end neither can prove anything for certain. What on earth does it achieve for mankind? Many of them look at our values and society and ridicule it. And in many ways it is true, but then we see it with different eyes. Who cares. If it works for you and there way works for them, great! But why point fingers at each other or try and force each others values on one another? I just find all this very hypocritical and without a worthwhile objective.

Although i can completely see where many of these feelings and arguments are coming from. They are bordering on extremists rants on the other extremity. First of all most of the rubbish you see these days by so called Muslims is actually contradictory to the teachings in the first place! It comes form a combinations of factors, including a lack of proper understanding of the teachings (they are complex and context sensitive etc). On top of this, as always, most of these are simply sheep that are being used to higher up people to do there bidding and further there own agenda. On the aspect of people being able to ridicule things that are very well known to be dear and close to the hearts of a large part of the world. Is it not fair to say that we as adults and part of the human race, should have more sense, respect and ultimately accountability for what yo know will result from such actions? I am sure they, or any other people, have no problem with you debating/opening sensible and respectable dialogs with them on any issues of there practices. Would that not be more sensible? Something else to take into consideration is that we give protection and respect to other things in society and life, and lets face it many of these things did not do anything substantially worthwhile. And no matter what you may think of such religious figures, if you study history, they bought about a lot of positive change and gave us much of what we have today. There is far too much arguing and time wasting spent on things upon which we all differ. Is it not about time we stopped inciting one anther and looked at solidifying the goodness we share and common values, that can restore our ethics and good values? May be these authors or cartoonists can better place themselves to try and look into some of the real injustices that are happening around this world currently. Stop stirring trouble and start being a positive solution instead.
