beheading of an american..

People need to learn from the mistakes history has taught us.

"We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analyzing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will. I cannot believe that such a program would be rejected by the people of this country, even if it does mean the establishment of personal contact with the dictators." - Neville Chamberlain

Ace, unfortuantly, irrational opinions such as that will be the cause for destruction for future generations.

And Gigashadow, the situations are completley different.

Really... how so?

We are fighting two things right now:
Terrorists and Iraq

Terrorists arn\'t even a country first of all.

Then Iraq, hasn\'t done anything agressive for 10 years, and was not a relativly powerful country.

Germany on the other hand was a european country on the rise out of an economic depression with a rapidly growing military, and they also invaded countries.

You cannot go around killing anyone suspected of terrorism. That is the worse possible stance for the American system to go.

Fact is, after 9/11 we have realized we are vunerable to terrorism and there are people out there who want America to fall. Since then, we have went and hunted down these terrorist and to somewhat a success, however, Iraq was a stretch and in some ways, a last ditch effort to take attention away from the Adminstration\'s failure to capture the man who did set up 9/11, Osama Bin Laden.

I don\'t think you can compare the beheading to prisoner torture pictures, but I think we can all agree ugly stuff happens during war and both sides, at this point are simply in a pissing contest.

Conspiracy theories aside, can any of you actually believe that what our goverment is saying about this is truthful? I don\'t. I think there is a lot of important facts being left out with the videotape and the prisoner pictures.  I suspect we will never find out the complete truth behind this, but I do know, the sooner we pull out of Iraq the better.

Known terrorists can take a dirt nap courtesy of the US any day and I will not blink an eye.

Fine, but when another 9/11 happens down the world, perhaps you may reconsider your foreign policy.

So your policy is to ignore the terrorist that wants you dead and hope that he realizes that you are minding your own business?

Yes.

It makes more sense to me then continuing a cycle of war and terrorism.

By that rational is it ok for the US to open fire in and drop bombs in US cities? I mean sure are sure are alot of terrorist sand "alleged" terrorists right here in our own back yard.

Know that you mention it, I do think there are some states I would like to drop bombs on. Unfortunately I live in one of them. :P

lol, thanks for the smile and chuckle. I needed that today.

Seriously though, what do you think is a good idea to battle this terrorism shit, since terrorists come from every country in the world and dont have a "homeland?"

Islamic Fundamentalists do...  I don\'t particularly like Dick Cheney, but it is true when he says the new frontline for the war on terror is Iraq.  Every one that the coalition kills over there is one that won\'t be hijacking planes or planting bombs.

That\'s a scary question because I don\'t think it will ever end. We can do more than any other country to try and protect our people but there will be another attack. 9/11 has let the cat out of the bag and I don\'t think we\'ll ever get it back in.

Not really an answer because I don\'t have one. I do believe that the only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.

giga, so how long do we stay in Iraq and piss them off further and have them bringing more and more in to fight us?

Ace-respectable enough
