"Regretably, Muslims do not denounce similar fools who claim to be Muslim enough."
From many Americans' point of view, this is one of the major problems that many to have negative views of Islam as a whole.

Israel is looking to bargain. What you are suggesting is not a negotiation, it’s a relinquishing of ones bargaining chips before the bargaining begins. Only a fool would give up ones valuables without securing something of value in return.

He put his "right to life" in serious jeopardy when he "allegedly" pulled the trigger and let out over 40 rounds of hot metal into a mass of humanity.

Dick Gephardt said the following at the 2004 Missouri Democratic Convention "Politics is a substitute for violence." I wish those that intentionally kill innocent people for political reasons would heed his words.

I’m going to say that more people should be outraged that innocent people are being targeted by terrorists. More people should be looking for ways to prevent the deaths of innocent people in Iraq.

Isn't Iran obligated to inform the IAEA of their plans to build a nuclear enrichment facility BEFORE construction begins?

"The problem is that most of the killing in the US is done with illegal, untraceable guns. Tell how you're going to get criminals to hand over guns?"
usaexpat...that is the question gun control advocates fail to address time and time again. I do not own a gun and never have owned one. I can see difference between a regulated, legal gun in the hands of a citizen and a criminal with an illigal gun. Too many people on this site make no distinctions between the two and therefore lose the chance of swaying Americans that do not own guns.

“How do think you will fare after America pulls out—Allah permitting—allowing us to retaliate from the oppressor on behalf of the oppressed?” he said.
Wow, Bid Laden is basically saying "hey, we can't do much against the Americans. They are not afraid of us. But you Europeans, we will kick your asses." We also see respect for Americam might written between the lines.

SuperLib It is interesting that Iran informed the IAEA only after they discovered that Western nations had knowledge of the facility. It makes you wonder if there is anything else that they think we are not aware of.

"How convenient -- cause all manner of chaos, turmoil, suffering and disaster -- and then preach about how people should not point fingers."
Cicada I really would like to take you seriously but its seemed that you believe that events like the earthquakes in Iran, The red dust in Australia, the massacres in Rwanda, and the atrocities in Tiedemann Square were somehow caused by the US. How could any thinking person take what you write seriously. You are exactly who Obama was targeting.
