Here's something that's been going around in e-mail. It's something both Democrats and Republicans understand. The leftists here need to comprehend the truth of how America will feel, and it is embodied in here: ""DO NOT FORGET" > I sat in a movie theater watching "Schindler's List," and > asked myself, > "Why didn't the Jews fight back?" > Now I know why. > I sat in a movie theater, watching "Pearl Harbor" and asked > myself, "Why > weren't we prepared?" > Now I know why. > Civilized people cannot fathom, much less predict, the > actions of evil > people. > On September 11, dozens of capable airplane passengers > allowed themselves > to be overpowered by a handful of poorly armed terrorists > because they did > not comprehend the depth of hatred that motivated their > captors. > On September 11, thousands of innocent people were murdered > because too > many Americans naively reject the reality that some nations > are dedicated > to the dominance of others.

Your such a buffoon it's fun...it's even worth a bit extra effort. For your convenience this is the string of posts.<s> gao seng: Carter made Iran America's number 2 enemy. Are you doubting that? Did you enjoy being held hostage? Are you braindead or what. jttmab: Let's not do ranking, 1, 2, 3...pretty arbitrary. I would phrase it this way....the US [CIA] put the Shah into power and fully supported the Shah's regime as it tortured, mutilated, and killed Iranians. I'm not sure why, but the Iranians didn't enjoy being tortured, mutilated, and murdered by the Savak. After all, it was all done to feed the coffers of the Shah and the American oil supply. Shame they didn't appreciate America for everything we did for them. As one act of retaliation, the Iranians took 52 [?] Americans hostage. So I would say that every Administration from the one that put the Shah into power through Carter, made Iran an enemy of America. Should be pretty easy to look up when the Shah came into power and correlate that to Presidents. I blame them all for being really, really stupid. gao seng: And you blame Reagan for keeping them from extracting their revenge on us. You really are an America hater, aren't you. jttmab: Huh? I said I blame every Administration that supported the regime of the Shah of Iran. What don't you understand? gao seng: Man you are slow. I am giving you your victory on that, I am not debating the merits of the Shah of mother freaking Iran. You hear me fella? What is your major malfunction? So you think that because of that, we should just let them attack us at will? Like 911? is that what you are saying? I hear a resounding YEESSSSS! And to that i say NO. I think we have a very clear case [above] that you no longer have any grasp on reality. jttmab
