A few things are certain as recorded by history, 1. Do not fly jet aircraft into American buildings or we will come to your country and kill you as in al Qaeda/Afghanistan. 2. Do not pose a "Clear and present danger" (to US & its interests) re Nuclear weapons or we may invade your country and remove you from power as in Iraq and Saddam Hussein. In the final analysis it comes down to "My tribe , your Tribe"......... If you look at all the free and peaceful countries of the World...USA, Canada, GB, Austraila, Japan, Italy, Spain, Belguim and on.............and what they stand for and what they provide to their societies at large and to the rest of the free world.......it is a beautiful thing. and then there are the others, the North Koreas, the Iraqs, the Irans, the Syrias, the Libyas, the Sudans, the countries that are dictatorships and in some cases overtly heinous to their people as in the case of a Saddam Hussein or a Kim Jung il ....I mention only a few....I live in a free country, you live in a free country........ what is your problem with other peoples having the same freedoms as you and I enjoy....... do you think the average Iraqi would rather live under Saddam Hussein............ you need to open your mind a little, to think a little more about what you have and others less fortunate do not have and how and why you are able to enjoy these freedoms amd what is even more important ....keep these freedoms. they are the bad guys of the world...... we are the good guys of the world...... think collectively, be thankful you are allowed to express your thoughts on the internet and at the coffee shop, Freedom is special........sometimes it has to be paid for in blood......... Don't isolate/fixate on a few bad times in our/your history, think on a world scale and what is best for the world at large. Ghandi good/Pol Pot bad Roosevelt,Churchill good/Hitler,Tojo bad Bush good, Chirac confused/Hussein, Kim Jung il bad and on and on and on............ regards
