"There are so many evil people in this world. It's kind of ridiculous to say the US is the only country with aggressive policies." I don't think anyone is saying that. The US is the country we live in. Since it's a democracy, we're supposedly responsible for the actions IT takes. I don't know about you, but my own country has been a source of shame for me since Bush has been running it.

Terrorism is the scourge of the modern world. Defeating terrorism will require courage, wisdom and concerted global action and leadership. Perhaps one day these qualities will be reflected in the character of the elected officials of the United States. For now we must endure people of low character who see nothing wrong with their dishonorable conduct. Of the bunch, Powell was the most obviously conflicted by having to play a role in this ugly farce, but he felt compelled to fall into line and read his script. It was a disgraceful display of misplaced loyalty -- Powell owed it to the people of the United States to put our interests ahead of his loyalty to Bush. But then he was accustomed to a chain of command where orders cannot be questioned. Bush gave the orders, or at least is repsonsible for the ordering of them. Soldiers don't decide to go to war -- they do what they are told to do by politicians.

>>"Look at Saudi hegemony. They are the meanest people of the face of the earth, terrorizing the world with their salafi self righteousness. They have spread their wahhab doctrines to external populations of Muslims to overwhelm their local traditions with brutal oppression and tradition. They have exported their sociopaths to foreign countries where they are Talibans, Al Quaeda, insurgents, and serial killers. They kill everyone in the name of God to put a spin on their blood thirsty death games."<< My goodness...what next??...an Inquisition? Won't be long before the SOB's will be putting marble copies of the Koran in public parks.
