Didn't Osama say he bombed our Embassys in Africa because we had women diplomats. Also did he say he attacked us because of our homosexuals, and the libs think we can make friends with him. I ask the libs what are you going to do with our homosexuals and working woman?????

"How hostile is that, if they trust those working for us?"

It would be even better if the Iraqi security forces were working for them.

Why do you imagine that it is wholly within our power to create friends or enemies?

Look, this is an easy question to answer. It's like me dealing with some of my more troublesome neighbors typically. I can either...

(a) really piss them off.

or

(b) use some intelligence to try and get them to live with me co operatively.

OK an aggressive stance has to be used on occasions, but only for show usually. Like I don't really have to sue them or anything. I seem to had dealt with my potential "neighbors from hell" quite well actually and wonder why so many on the TV show fail so frequently.

I think the USA and the UK had dealt with the ME problems in a p*ss poor way. OBL biggest problem was the USA air bases in SA not the gays in the USA as far as I remember.
