Our biggest enemy is our own complacency not to recognize a huge threat. The thing that concerns me the most is the ability of the enemy to hide amongst the whole islamic culture. it is hard to conceive that we would ever wage war against a whole culture. Furthermore, if the heat gets turned up against the enemy, they can easily scale back and we fall back into complacency yet again.

This is the world of 'turn the other cheek Christians' who kill for profit and these guys are at about 1/2 or 1/3rd of other estimates. These evangelical Christians don't have to rely on suicide bombings or IEDs, they have REAL munitions, REAL armies and REAL propaganda that allows them to use such. Even ignoring Timothy McVeigh, this kind of Christian Crusading by evangelicals Bush and Blair looks pretty dang bad in the eyes of the world. These two Christians have made the entire world less safe by publicly declaring all Muslims to be enemies and targets...that is the message they've been sending out in one way or another. They have, FOR PERSONAL PROFIT, baited Muslims, Christians and Jews to turn on each other. You're just one in a long line of suckers. Meanwhile, they're stealing your money and laughing at you...sucker. Your complacency and complicity are disgusting. iraqbodycount.org Speaking from London, Iraq Body Count cofounder John Sloboda said, “Today’s figures are an indictment of three years of occupation, which continues to make the lives of ordinary Iraqis worse, not better. Talk of civil war is a convenient way for the US and Iraqi authorities to mask the real and continuing core of this conflict, which is between an incompetent and brutal occupying power on the one hand and a nationalist insurgency fuelled by grief, anger, and humiliation on the other. This conflict is proof that violence begets more violence. The initial act that sparked this cycle of violence is the illegal US-led invasion of March and April 2003 which resulted in 7,312 civilian deaths and 17,298 injured in a mere 42 days. The insurgency will remain strong so long as the US military remains in Iraq, and ordinary Iraqi people will have more death and destruction to look forward to.”
