I haven't advocating nuking them have I.
I have even posted that I don't think that's the answer, haven't I.

It's apparent that I don't know much about world affairs to you???
Not agreeing with your assessment of the world is not a criteria for judging someone else's knowledge of the world, the last time I checked.

You want everyone to think that you are an expert in what makes the world tick because you think that your subscription to a magazine gives you credentials.

You didn't call me an idiot by label, true.
Hoewever, you might as well have. You claim I have no knowledge about any of this, and it seems the basis for this is because I don't agree with you.
What do you know about me, or what I have done, or who I know, where I have been, what kind of education I have, what I have experienced?

You'll just have to get over the frustration of knowing that I don't hold you in as much awe as you would like, you'll eat and sleep better.

terrorist vs. freedom fighter, etc. Things in life are not that simple

Some things are simple. Turning planes into missiles and killing perhaps 6000 non combatants is very simple. They are murderers of the worst sort.

Granted, other things are not simple. Consider the deal making going on at this very moment with China and Pakistan. Will we regret this 2 or 20 years down the road?

Irrespective of the massive power the US commands, at least a free society, as free as this world has seen, is behind it. This is certainly not true of many others in the world.
