Re: it is simply to me that so much of what is going on seems so strange... like the official story really doesn't wash any more... so is my questioning any of that... does that make me an enemy of the united states? if that is the case then perhaps the 'terrorists' have won already... again, if you take away freedom of speech, the terrorists have already won... for then what is it that we are protecting? You end up protecting freedom of speech for Judeofascists ONLY. Gus

Andy. You said...." i see you listed me as supporting an enemy... is that really what you think i've been doing?"... Andy. After having read through your most recent posts I would have to say I was mistaken. Although you appear at times to come out in support of those who wish to do us harm ( us is the civilized folks in the west ) you also appear to question everything and play no favorites. I apologize. You are very confusing, maybe you should have gone into politics. :o) When you say things like this....." man i loved it when they sold stingers to iran! Message 17873756 It can lead a person to believe that you support a government who is our enemy. Or this post...." if we removed the catholic church from latin america, everything would improve... Message 17873759 Or this...." if you were saddam, you would do all of the same things... including cutting backroom deals with the clums... there is no other way... Message 17876201 You said...." again, if you take away freedom of speech, the terrorists have already won... for then what is it that we are protecting?".... I agree with you on that but if we do not fight back against those who want to remove our freedoms we will lose them anyways. You said...." if you want to nuke or gas or steamroll somebody... go for it! i for one am getting sick of all of the posturing... you want to steamroll iraq and saudi arabia... let's go then! if we win easily, then perhaps the economy surges with the advent of cheap oil... perhaps on the other hand it is world war iii... either one is fine with me.... i know it's not 'all good' but i know it's 'all god...' I don't think we over here should wipe out the countries you mentioned but I do believe that certain elements of their society must be removed. I believe that radical islam is a real threat to our way of life and must somehow be stopped. What do you think would be the reaction of Americans if there should be just one more muslim/islam incident like Sept.11. what will happen to innocent muslims in America and other countries? I also don't think this is about cheap oil, there is lots of oil available elsewhere. Islam has forced themselves on us and Sept.11 is proof of this force. islam is not one country so how do we fight back. Radical islam is in our countries now so how do we fight back, do we destroy our own peoples just so we can get to them? Not likely. You said...." and in any event the white house - and all other positions of high office within any of the myriad 'priesthoods'... they're all charades... and if that makes me un-american then i'll live and die with that..... Our way of life is not by any means perfect but I believe it is a whole lot better than the way of life of our enemies. Would you trust a muslim cleric before Prez. Bush would they be more honest? Should we trust the islamic leaders of islam controlled countries to not try to force their muslim way of life on their neighbours, on Europe, on Indonesia, etc. On us. islam has spread by force for the last 1500 years and continues to this day, why should we believe that it will stop. What we have may not be perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than the way of life of those who attacked us. Look at Europe to day they are scared to death do anything at all to offend the millions and millions muslims who now live there. We can all just forget about Sept.11 and hope the religious problem will go away but it will not go away unless we somehow make it go away. I believe that when islam attacked the WTC on Sept.11 they were attacking our way of life, our freedoms, our wealth they attacked our people not our military power. Nice music web site you have. will have to look it over didn't see any oldies there....50s & 60s rock.
