Can any one group be so dellusional??? It is not possible to target a tsunami. PERIOD. You can create one, but it cannot be aimed or otherwise controlled. If you don’t believe me, fill a bathtub with water and try any combination of firecracker or other combustable and attempt to control the resulting wave. I’m tired of listening to anyone paint Bush as some high-tech terrorist. NO AMERICAN LEADER would ever condone blatant murder of innocent people. You whine and complain about the "atrocities" in Baghdad, but that is war, my friends. There is a name for that for a reason...."collatoral damage".....it happens and is unfortunate, but is unavoidable when a war is taking place. Where were you when Saddam slaughtered tens of thousands of your own Muslims after the first Gulf War? Oh yeah, you where cowering in fear because you knew your "leaders" were okay with murdering in cold blood those who showed some assemblance of an independent thought. You ever wonder why it is there is so much negative propoganda toward the US? Could it have something to do with freedom of speech that is otherwise unattainable? If you are in Iran, for instance, and you publicly challange one of your religious leader’s mandates...what would happen? But if you speak out against America? Totally acceptable. Human nature lends itself to lusting for freedom of speech and voicing your opinion, so the Muslim community, so oppressed by their leaders, are led to believe that their only outlet for freedom is to take a cause against the "Big, Bad Americans" who have done nothing but look out for basic human rights over the past two centuries. Why? I’ll put it in terms you all MAY understand.....you have a school teacher who runs his class with an iron fist. No talking, no gum chewing, strict penalties and classes run by the book. Everyone is expected to wear a ties and slacks, no exceptions. Even if you perform well in classwork, you are expected to meet this rigid requirements. If you are a bad student, the same applies. Everyone is treated equally but poorly. On the other side of the school, you have a teacher who lets her students be a bit more independent. Gum chewing is okay, soft talking can be tolerated as long as the work is completed to a satisfactory level. You can be individual in your attire, but within reason, of course. If you aren’t working at a satisfactory level (even if you grades are bad, its all about doing your best) in this second class, you are not to be allowed in this class any longer. Which class will those students prefer? Which class do you think would get better results? Couldn’t it stand to reason that once a student experienced the second, more laid back approach, that they would embrace it and flourish in it? And couldn’t it also stand to reason that once a student experienced the second class, that they would loathe the first? Finally, wouldn’t you expect the teacher of the first class to be much more dictatorial in fear of his students catching a glimpse of what occurs on the other side of the school?
Sorry for rambling, but this worldwide opinion that America and GWB are evil, greedy entities preying on the world’s impovershed is not only flawed in every conceivable vein of thought, but is also counterproductive to the success of the world as a whole. What is there to gain by hating others more fortunate? The question is what is to lose by not hating others....ask that to your tyrranical and fundamentalist leaders....seems THEY are the ones with the most to lose in any of this.
