You stated in post # 8078......" We are guilty of poking our noses into their affairs, carving up land and forming countries, and undermining their cultures."...... And in post # 8083 you state....." I have stated that we need to go after bin Laden ( I surely hope we have evidence) and once that is accomplished and he is on trial at the Hague, we should put our heads together with all the Arab countries' leaders and find out whats what. We need to steer them to be more responsive to their people's needs as it concerns their faith, culture, and economy. On the one hand you say we are poking our noses into their affairs then you say we need to steer them as to what to do about their faith,culture and economy. It can't be both ways we either help ( poke our nose in ) or we don't. As your President has said to the world , you are either with us or you are against us. There is no middle ground I would think that whoever chooses the middle ground is very likely to be hit any way. Never knowing what side they were really on. You said......" Prior to the attack on the WTC, we had no right to usurp Taliban,"...... How about the Cole, African embassies,Beirout embassies,etc....the list goes on. the taliban supported bin hiding.

Why in the world would the USA want to put this crazed killer on trial. If he is taken alive his trained killers will start killing innocent people until he is released. A trial for this scum could take years and cost millions and if ever he did go on trial and found guilty what do you do with him then?? execute him?? then you have a martyr and his trained killers will kill more people. No I think this scum will not get out alive also his trained killers wherever they may be.

<< ... we should put our heads together with all the Arab countries' leaders and find out whats what. >> Our heads PLUS all the other Arab leaders still EQUALS Our heads. <g> << We need to steer them to be more responsive to their people's needs as it concerns their faith, culture, and economy. >> Why is it that these wealthy, oil rich Arab nations need to be steered by America? 10,000 years of Arab culture and they still can't get self government and democracy right. And........ Where are all the Pro-America parades in the Arab nations? Screw them! If we go to war against Iraq....... to the victor goes the rewards. IRAQ OIL!
