Seems to me that this thread lost more than i realized it did, when Rarebird ceased to post here, in terms of thoughts being more than a single path between 2 points. . Example: Upon reading my above babble, eight out of ten have just done an NEXT, while out of the two still reading, one has already constructed a thought-proof wall around their brain so that my message will not be allowed to enter. . For example, Many speak that no link between 9/11 and Saddam of Iraq (aka the reason for a USA invasion of Iraq) has been made. . Sad, As while i understand the rage against this war, towards the force called the United States, those whom call this war now in progress an evil event remain clueless of the actual forces of evil that are being fought, and to put it into simple words using today's events i will say that as long as the types of rulers of which Iraq, Iran, North Korea and many others including those in Africa where 99% of the populace live in a standard of living call Hell on Earth as a direct result of that 1% in power at top government levels live off of the 99% of wealth created in the country using the power of force, that until this type of nation ruling is eliminated using force, that until then the 9/11 event will continue, and rather than i say that 9/11 was initiated by Saddam's Iraq, i will say that the 9/11 terror attack against the United States was allowed to happen because those types of governments i mentioned above were allowed to exist on the face of Earth. . So, this Iraq war is just a needed event that should have been accomplished by the United States long ago, prior to Gulf War I, and time line prior to when Saddam took power in Iraq, such that what is now a thousand times more hurtful for ALL would have benn done back when evil was taken down upon it first raise to any level of power in any nation. . Or, prior to World War I and for sure after World War I all folks on planet Earth should have realized that war in not hell, but that if wars are allowed to become the fruit of evil, then the innocents that allowed it will receive the rotten seeds they failed to sow. doug
