PartyTime. You said...." Lorne, you should begin admitting to yourself: Bush blew it--BigTime! He's now breeding more terrorists to go against us. Worst foreign policy president we've had in my lifetime. Please do give this due consideration. "..... islam was terrorizing other cultures and religions for hundreds of years. Is it better to let the islam terrorists breed in a peaceful manner and say nothing or do nothing that may upset them and their supporters? They declared war on the civilized world years ago and IMO they attacked now simply because they felt they already had enough islam terrorists to confront the civilized world. All that is happening now is that they have been confronted by a determined and powerful opponent which is causing the crazies to come out of their hidy holes...no breeding going on because of Prez. Bush. They were always there and it sure is great that they are all converging to one place...Iraq. Now don't you think Bush had a pretty good plan? Better to fight and rid the world of them over in their own land instead of over here in our countries. Why you can not see what is happening with islam and the world is a mystery to me. It's them or us and we will win radical islam will lose and in the end islam with some radical changes may turn out to be a religion that can be excepted by civilized peoples of the world. IMO it is you who should give the situation due consideration. I'm sure you can find many things to go after Bush for but his correct war against radical islam should be backed by all sane civilized peoples of the world. Do you think there is a world problem with islam? why do muslims kill so many innocent people in the name of their religion? Why do muslim kids strap bombs on themselves and go out and murder innocent people? do you think there is a islam problem here? Who bred these kids to do these murderous things....Not Prez. Bush. Have you been paying attention to some Arab leaders who openly say that the fault lies with Arabs and islam not the USA. Little by little more muslim leaders are starting to speak out. Prez Bush plan working??

PartyTime. You said...." Lorne, you should begin admitting to yourself: Bush blew it--BigTime! He's now breeding more terrorists to go against us.".... How about islam crazies like these. They were there when clinton ran things. Did his policies breed these nut bars? and the thousands of others in our countries. Or is it maybe islam that is breeding them? American, Briton arrested in Saudi Arabia Dec. 6, 2003. thestar.com RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi authorities have detained an American and a Briton for unspecified reasons, diplomats said today. A Saudi newspaper said the American was the brother of two men convicted in the United States of conspiring to aid the Al Qaeda terrorist network. A U.S. diplomat at the consulate in the Red Sea port of Jidda confirmed to The Associated Press that an American citizen had been picked up there by the Saudis, "but we don't know why." The diplomat, who insisted on anonymity, refused to name the American. Saudi authorities were not immediately available for comment. The English-language Arab News daily identified the American as Abdullatif Ibrahim Bilal, brother of Ahmed and Muhammad Bilal, members of a group known as the Portland, Oregon, Seven who were accused of plotting to join the Taliban in 2001 to fight a holy war against the U.S. forces in Afghanistan. In September, the Bilal brothers pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to help Al Qaeda and the Taliban and to firearms charges, in exchange for having the main charge of conspiracy to levy war against the United States dismissed. They are awaiting sentencing and face up to 14 years in federal prison. Arab News quoted Bilal's father, without giving his name, as saying his son has been picked up, but he had no idea why. The father, Ibrahim Bilal, refused to comment when contacted by The Associated Press. British Embassy spokesman Barry Peach identified the Briton as David Heaton, a convert to Islam. Peach said Heaton is in Saudi detention. He said officials from the British consulate in Jiddah visited Heaton on Thursday. "We have contacted his next of kin, and we are seeking reasons for his detention from the Saudi authorities," he said. "Saudis have confirmed that he has not been charged yet," Peach added. It was not clear whether the arrests are part of the countrywide security crackdown the government launched following the May 12 attacks on three Western residential compounds and that has intensified after another attack on a residential compound Nov. 8.
