Chinu. You said....." What has this got to do with foreign policy? ".... Well I know this may be a bit of a stretch but when islam/muslim terrorists are mentioned in an article I just sort of automatically think...World Problem.... Here are a couple of statements from the article I posted>>> From the moment John Allen Muhammad and Lee Malvo were arrested in the Beltway-area sniper case last fall, the media and Muslim activists wanted us to believe that the serial killings had absolutely nothing to do with Islamic terrorism. Ten Americans were murdered at the hands of the Beltway-area snipers. Malvo's lawyers say he was insane and "brainwashed." No more so than your average madrassa student in Jeddah or America-hating cave dweller in Tora Bora. Malvo is, in his own words, a "believer" of Allah and a "soldier" for "JIHAD." World problems affect US Foreign policies...like where did these 2 crazies get their brainwashing. Was it in our own countries? If so how did the radicals get into our countries to teach locals to murder in the name of allah. Maybe foreign policy has to change towards immigration? Hey I tried. Now how about you. How much stretching do you have to do to make these recent past posts of yours on this thread appear to be on topic? Don't you remember when you tried to become thread mommy on another thread until it was pointed out to you that you were one of the biggest offenders of breaking the on topic rules. :-) Anyway here are some posts of yours. Strrrrrrrrrreeeetch. :o) At least I don't talk because I have to talk. I am expressing my opinion of distrust for politicians. Look at Al Gore and his 2000 running mate Joe Lieberman. Message 19582315 ------------------------------------ Kumar, the CA recall process will soon prove my point. There is no difference between the current Governor and the one recalled. A pendulum swings from one extreme "screwup" to the other extreme "screwup" The right people keep out of running for office. Hence you cannot vote them in if they do not run. Message 19581808 -------------------------------- Kumar, I said it is the politicians not a politician. You vote one out, another one comes in and does the same thing. Message 19580877 ---------------------------------- Hawk, I respect you for your military service and others who are fighting to protect this country. It is the politicians that I am not in favor of. The politicians who use the military to serve their own political ends such as winning a election by timing the release of information they already possess. And about cloaking it in secrecy, I doubt that it can happen in this information age Message 19576886 ------------------------------------ Hawk, and where do those websites, the people who articulate their point of view, get their viewpoints from if it were not life's experiences? People talk a lot about diversity, at least in the part of the country I live in. It is this diversity, the sharing of a different point of view based on experiences growing up, the tolerance for such difference in opinions etc, is what we call diversity. Diversity is not going around with a book telling and providing others what a writer or someone else has articulated. Message 1957264 ----------------------------------- 1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country. 2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country. 3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country Message 19538625
