A course in "understanding terrorism"? Really? What textbook do you use for the curriculum? Does it include Christian terrorists like McVeigh or all of the actions taken by the IRA or maybe even Sawney Bean? It seems a lot like you're focusing on Islam...which makes such a course meaningless and pointless (not to mention bigoted). What college do I attend? Pittsburg State University. Go ahead and look it up...www.pittstate.edu.

The US may have been founded by people with christian values, but that's a far cry to that the entire country was founded on christian values. What I know (that apparently you don't) is that the people who founded this country were human and not immune from fuck ups. Look at the beginning of the Declaration Of Independence for proof. "We the people blah blah blah...in order to form a more perfect union". That's right...this country was founded upon a grammatical fuck up. Things are either perfect or they aren't. There's no such thing as "more perfect". Even if the country as a whole adhered to christian values (and if you believe that, boy did you bet on the wrong horse), christianity like all other religions is just a pawn. Yes, it teaches tolerance and understanding...in theory, the same way islam does. However in the hands of humans with agendas it becomes something more. It becomes an excuse to do whatever you feel is necessary to please your god.

If we don't wish to rid the planet of muslims, we've got a funny way of proving it to them. Bush himself said that we'd take the fight to the streets of Baghdad. That's all fine and good if you're an American...but imagine you're an Iraqi. At this point you're going "what the fuck did we do to you?". The correct answer, of course, is "nothing". There's more torture going on in Iraq now than before we ousted Saddam (just ask the UN) and we've literally given up on 1/3 of the country (Anbar Province...although I doubt I spelled that right). We've killed 130,000 innocent civilians (not counting "insurgents") and we're tolerant of islam? It must be hard to type with your head so firmly planted up your ass.

Al Anbar is not nearly as lost as you think, or as the media may want you to think.
