If we Americans don't want to or can't believe that we are occupiers, they (the occupied) know that we are, when our leaders have to visit the occupied land without prior notice. All these unannounced visits are tell tales of that fact.

Wake up America!!!!

Unjustified Killing --

I think the pure and civilized people of the world maybe are now more aware of "state sponsored terror" everywhere not just in the evil places. The poor Brazilian guy in London could have been in Darfur, Baghdad, Tehran, New York, Mexico City, or anywhere else that a "mad as hell cops with guns" are out to get the bad guy. You see, when it comes to violence non of us are immune.

Perhaps Bush can appreciate what happened and why Zahra Kazemmi was accidentally killed in Evin prison in Iran. You see, after all we are only few shrapnel, bullets, air raids, cluster bombs,....etc from unintended evil.

He who casts the first stone will have to hide behind bullet proof vest.

It's absolutely amazing to me that intelligent people that I come across with everyday seem to have accepted that US should invade and occupy a country without as much as a single convincing reason for doing so. Other than this vague idea that its done to make us safer in wake of 9/11. These are the same people that question a simple proposal for instance, to close a county park with so much in-depth analysis and fact finding evaluations.

I recently heard our Senator saying that deciding and planning for a road project in the city is more complex than what he does in Washington fighting the War and working on Social Security. I know he was saying that in jest, but common............................

Iraq is still an OCCUPIED land, lets not forget that. The neocons may forget that but how can the occupied. When invading soldiers are roaming the streets without impunity. What do you expect they or any occupied people will do? Should they be thankful and bow down to the conqueror, some have, but most will not.

If I am faced with occupiers guess what I'll do---------------------

With the illegal, immorally, and unnecessarily invasion of Iraq we have sent that country 40 years back in time. Destroyed their physical framework, not to mention killing thousands of innocent people, that would take several decades for them to get back to what they had before the invasion.


And we say whey they hate us --------------------

All this for revenge ===== Nothing else can explain this madness.

Something about words that don't mean anything is that they get forgotten and they will not make any difference in people's lives --- Words like: Terror, Evil, War on Terror, Jihadist, crusaders, extremists,.....

All that they do conjure up feelings of hatred and unbending desire to reject

Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States are the only permanent and veto-wielding members of the powerful UN

The only common element between the above countries is Nuclear Weapon, and lots of them.

Now this may partly explain why they hate us!!!!

When decision makers are lined up based on their fire power, then its no wonder that the decisions could at times not benefit the non represented.

--If Green Peace and Al-Qaida merge we'll have "Al Green". In fact the synergy this joint venture will produce might galvenis more of the silent majority. But it could be like AOL joining Time Warner and soon the Al will be dropped and we will have to deal with GREEN.

--The major fights of the next generation will be about GREEN.

--I just read an opinion that terror attacks against innocent people in Europe will ultimately hurt the Muslims all over the world. That is the main stream Muslims that want and like to leave in peace. Could this all be a ploy to keep the pressure on!!!!! Is the cheap oil the cause ---- I just don't know -----

Here is another great idea:

Nukes for everyone -- What if the world treats Nukes like US treats gun control. If you ban guns only bandits and governments will have them and GOD knows what will happends then. So, in order to avoid global tyranny why not require all nations to have nukes or give'm the option to have them.

Isn't that a great idea or what --- I wonder how neocons and NRA dudes think about that!!!

Its a God given right to bare NUKES.

I bet you we could be much safer as folks would try to settle differences more.
