Our victims have done nothing to us. From Palestine to Afghanistan, to Iraq, to Somalia, to wherever our next target may be, their murders are not collateral damage; they are the nature of modern warfare. They don't hate us because of our freedoms. They hate us because every day we are funding and committing crimes against humanity. ….<br /><br />…. And to most of the world, we are the terrorists. ….<br /><br />…. And while there may have been some doubt 5 years ago, today we know the truth. Our soldiers don't sacrifice for duty-honor-country; they sacrifice for Kellogg Brown & Root.<br /><br /><i>[snip]</i><br /><br />They're not establishing democracy; they're establishing the basis for an economic occupation to continue after the military occupation has ended. …. We must dare to speak out in support of those American war-resisters, the real military heroes, who uphold their Oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, including <b>THOSE TERRORIST CELLS IN WASHINGTON DC MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE, AND JUDICIAL BRANCHES</b>.” <br /><br />~Dr. Dahlia Wasfi, M.DIsaac A.

We cause truck loads of it. And not for humanitarian reasons, either. <br /><br />That is because the U.S. is a shitty country, run by shitty people who, in turn, are cheered on by a greedy, stupid and/or ignorant populace.Isaac A.

That said, removing Saddam Hussein, Qadaffi, Mubarak, and Assad won't do anything to affect the terrorist threat to the US....it might even aggravate it. We have a long history of imposing by force our brand of democracy on defenseless, third-world countries just makes us feel better about ourselves. <br /><br />If we wanted to affect human suffering around the world, why don't we attack North Korea, Iran, Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, or virtually any country in Africa? The answer is they can fight back, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, and Libya cannot.

Now the primary mission is to kill those who not only haven't threatened the U.S., but who couldn't pose a credible threat to us even if they wanted to.Isaac A.
