a dangerously mis-guided policy of rampant militarism i find it quite incredible that you think our military policy is misguided. how the hell do you describe those who are killing our defenseless women, children and unarmed civilian men? are you afraid to fight? We may be the most insane participant in the arms game a certain level of fear is appropriate here. it takes very special human beings to kill a shackled, non-combatant like Pearl with a knife. this form insures the perpetrator gets his victims blood on himself...if that is not cold-blooded enough...it takes yet another level to dismember his body at the time of death, then send movies for you, me, our kids, and his pregnant wife to watch. that same mentality is required to fly airplanes full of defenseless civilians into office buildings full of more defenseless folks. make no mistake about it...the groups we are facing intend to fulfill their promise to kill all Jews, kill all Christians and kill all Americans. these are not ordinary soldiers...they an have extraordinary lust for blood and are not afraid to die to fulfill it. terrorists work to create high levels of fear...when the fear becomes feelings of panic and hopelessness and we lose the will to fight...they win. this is not new...this is about religious fanaticism...we have witnessed religion based suicide pacts many times before. i cannot recall any that were based on money. i can understand the difficulty in getting a handle on this. Ray, many of the bloody acts of war do not usually make sense...at best they are very difficult to explain...it is considered by many learned men to be the lowest form of human behavior. yet those same scholars consider war within the realm of normal human behavior. humans are the bloodiest of all animals. certainly money can be a factor...but to characterize our current acts of self defense as purely money driven denies any value to the lives of our American families and our way of life. You probably see our bone-headed sucking up to Oxy as a jobs program for your buddies. all of my buddies are retired warriors and/or entrepreneurs. my wife and i started and own three profitable businesses...which public teats and troughs do you and your friends feed on? i notice you are ending your posts lately with little personal cuts and digs...is that a manifestation of your fear level? uw
