WHY are these fringe militants vowing to take their fight to us??? Why is a Hamas leader proclaiming that they will conquer Rome, Europe, and the Two Americas? I can understand their beef with Israel, but Europe and Latin America? That says ALL that needs to be said. They are not fighting a "defensive" war.. They are fighting a war of global Jihad and if permitted to let their cause gain additional momentum, the cost in our children's blood will be far more tragic. But I know you don't care about the blood of our posterity (or theirs). Are you not "cluing in" with the events of the Nigerian bomber on that Delta flight? This guy was a RICH KID who became radicalized and attempted to kill several hundred people. Can you imagine all of the poor kids who are falling under similar influence from these militant Muslim clerics? Sadly, you won't "get it" until you have no other choice. Hawk

WHY are these fringe militants vowing to take their fight to us??? Maybe you should understand the root causes and try to solve the problem from that point of view... Ok.. I'm open to hearing the "root cause" that entices their militant leadership to advocate the sacrifice of children as martyrs. I'm open to hearing the "root cause" that entices them to strap explosives to their chests, seeking to blow their innocent victims, as well as themselves, to paradise? And I'm open to hearing why all of this is the fault of the American people and NOT of their own leadership (or themselves for that matter).. Because anyone can take a "negative influence" and use that as an excuse, as well as a justification, for whatever scheme they have in mind. Hitler justified his entire cause by blaming the humiliations foisted upon Germany by the Allies. And of course, he combined that with his hatred of Jews and carried out one of the most heinous atrocities in the history of mankind. And Imperial Japan justified their war of expansion on flimsy excuses that the US was choking off supplies of oil and iron. So I'm kind of sick of people making excuses for Militant Religious leaders, and especially Militant Muslim leaders. So make sure your choices for the Islamic "casus belli" are more than just the lame re-tread excuses about Israel. Because this is a different beast than just hating Jews Slarty. This is a civil war within Islam between moderates and militants. Hawk
