Holy ignorant batman... sorry but this is wrong. They commited an act of war on sept 11 because those people hate how the US occupies the holy land in saudi.. they also hate how the US is a rich nation and they live in shit. They blew up a buddist statue that was thousands of years old because to them it was blasphemous (sp). They deserve to die.. in feb I am on my way over there and I can't wait. I have a problems with the cowards way of "let's ignore them and hope they leave me alone". That's crap. If you think that please go live in a cave. That's not how it works, or how it will ever work. As for israel... they have no problem kicking everyone's asses without us...

I believe his point is that there would be no al qaeda if we did not literally form it for them through our presence during the afghan-russian war. The guns shooting at our soldiers over there are the same weapons that we gave to them twenty years ago. And there is no taliban presence in canada, al qaeda is the name of the organization, the taliban is a government party that ruled afghanistan. So who is ignorant on that one?
Personally I feel that North Korea is a bigger problem at the moment, those morons are getting ready for war as well, and they hate everyone also. We know they have nuclear capabilities, hell they may even have the bomb. The problem with our country is that we have an oil tycoon as a president and an enemy who has the 2nd most oil reserves in the world, it makes sense. What better way to pull us out of a recession than to control 200 trillion dollars in oil? Chris, you're correct, Mt. Biker, you're correct, V8, you're correct about turkey but you have a skewed view of world politics and history, but I wish you luck when you are over, and hell...bag one for me.
