To: long-gone who wrote (91791 ) 12/13/2002 3:18:42 PM From: IngotWeTrust Respond to of 116906 Of course we should ask that question. We need to clean up the "nest at home" as well as the nests of our neighbors. Here's the first statement that article made that is wrong, and I absolutely viscerally hate line blurring generalities that are trotted out in early paragraphs of promo pieces designed to make 9/11 perpetrators' Wahhabi Muslim belief system and propagation palatable to not only goldbugs but to the rest of the world. Here's the sentence to wit I refer: "Americans get most of their images about Islam and Muslims from the headlines." Funny, but that isn't where I got "my images" about Islamists...whom I'd "heard of/dealt with" long before 9/11 was dreamed up, et alone executed. To make such a broadsweeping conclusion type generality statements burns me to the core. There are differences between THEM and US....big ones. And to perpetrate such programs on public funded television fare is even more abhorrent. Hellsbellz...we have folks that still haven't "gotten over Pearl Harbor." Ditto Viet Namese murdering our soldiers sent to help liberate them in a very unpopular war. We still have vets that don't feel like it is even safe to say they fought in 'Nam, let alone how many tours they re-upped for. That's so sad for our hero soldiers who served and have been dumped on upon their safe return. But to do a PBS educational fare about those nice "other" Islamists? WITHIN less than 15 months after 9/11? I am incredulous at the Madison Avenue lathering...and blathering! And add to this PBS type P/R nonsense, ... the currently glee goldbugs feel about their current rally in PoG--without giving due to the Dinar/Euro squeeze currently under way, and promulgated by the Bretton Wood's bunch rebuild Europe Post WW2 with a distinctive Islamist twist... .... ....well, we'll just have to wait and see just how temperate and "understanding" those in this land wishing to buy goods or services with totally devalued currency, rampant inflation, and no gold to be found because it is mostly "theirs" by that time...and how many PBS programs it will take to make those hungry, angry and broke love and feel kindly toward the Islamists again...especially with more blood on their hands in the interim. This ain't over...and gold is one of the linch-pins in the financing of our external and internal destruction. Sad Sad Sad. gold & platinum*_tutor (at least the Islamist aren't pursuing strangle hold on PGMs like they are on cornering Gold which is why I'm focusing where "they" ain't lookin'....)
