Is this satirical or do you actually want people to answer these questions?

Tim, the same inane format could have been targeted on the Irish Republican Army and a case made against the Pope, Roman Catholics or even other Christian Sects. I would advise you to stop responding to bait by those who live in multiple realities.

Oh really? Very well Captain Obliviot, I hereby challenge you to do EXACTLY that. Post your list of terrorist attacks against the United States and/or her interests, in the late 20th (post Vietnam) and 21st Centuries. perpetrated by the IRA, the Pope, Roman Catholics, and/or Christian Sects. It is to have an equal or greater number of attacks as the list I posted does.

You have 24 hours from the time of your posting to respond with your list or your failure to do so will be considered an admission that you are in fact the one living in multiple realities, and doing so with your cranium shoved so far up your fourth point of contact that you are suffering from hypoxia.

I asked what I did because the original post seems more like an emotional rant than an introduction to a discussion or an informed post. I don't get "the idea" of why it was posted except for use as an outlet for negative feelings toward "Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40". If that's what it's there for, then fine...I'm just inquiring into the purpose behind the thread itself.

The "point" Tim was a "reality check" to remind those who seem to have forgotten exactly who the enemy is, and exactly why we are fighting them. With all of the "touchy-feely", let's not "offend" anyone sentiments that seem to be running rampant today, I simply thought that a bit of "perspective" might be in order.

I don't get it, are you proposing a war on 17-40 year old males? You are really expanding your horizons.

I looked, I haven't seen where anyone on this forum has even suggested that the US is at fault or in any way deserved, brought on, or created the conditions for the terrorist attacks. What some of us have said is that we should understand our enemy, what created him, and how to best defeat him.

Oh really, then why all the concern about "offending" them, and then possibly having some young troop heading out to the big sandbox and saying or doing something that might "offend" them there, leading to IED attacks? Unless I'm mistaken, wasn't that....YOU?

You want to understand them? Great, that's an easy one, understand that they're as crazy as a sh*thouse rat, and therefore you cannot deal with them like you would a rational person! What created him? Another easy one, The Quran, baking their brains in the desert their entire lives, living under a brutal dictatorship for a few generations, and no hope. How do you defeat him? Another easy one, by KILLING THEM! You do not negotiate with them, you do not "appease" them, you simply kill them, and tell whoever is left that if they don't want to end up dead, that the bullsh*t STOPS NOW. Pretty soon the general population will trip to the fact that if they don't want to get their house blown up, that they'd better be turning in anybody that even acts like they're going to do something stupid. How do you think Saddam was able to control them for so long? Because they all knew that if they messed with him that he would KILL them. That's all they've known for the past 40 or more years, and you can't expect them to go from there to acting like rational human beings over night. It's going to take a lot longer, probably a couple of generations before they really get the stuff into one bag, but in the mean time, they have got to know that somebody is really in charge, and that someone is not going to tolerate any garbage from them. It's unfortunate, but they're like children, and like children they're going to push the limits to see exactly how far Mommy and Daddy will let them go before they get their butts beaten. Well, by "playing well with others", all we've managed to do is tell them that they haven't reached that limit yet, so they kept on pushing.

When Fallujah went down, and they killed the Blackwater guys, we should have pulled all of our people back and flattened the entire damned town until not one single mud brick was sitting on top of another mud brick (and yes, I DO know how big it is). We failed to do that, and as a result they failed to get the message that we are NOT to be messed with, and it was that failure, among others, that has caused this War to continue as long as it has. By failing to send an unmistakable message that they did not want to play games with us, we in fact gave them permission to play games with us, and you know as well as I do what that monumental screw up has cost us.

Look, you guys have done one HELL of a job thus far, especially considering the fact that the hand-wringers in Washington damned near hamstrung you as badly as they did during Vietnam, and our part of the program is drawing to a close, so for your sake, and my grandsons sakes, I hope that the politicians don't screw it up like they did the last couple of times, and we end up having to go back again for round 3, because if we do, the only way it's going to end is by turning the place into a glass parking lot. The one thing though that will almost guarantee that we WILL have to go back is if everyone keeps bending over backward to "appease" them every time they feign "offense" because someone let them see the bottom of their boots, or ate a ham sandwich and drank a beer within a klick of them, or God forbid, made fun of the fact that they are in fact the biggest bunch of ass backward excuses for human beings on the face of the planet. It's long past time that they were dragged, kicking and screaming if necessary, at least into the 18th century (as Thomas Jefferson pointed out), because that 7th century mentality that they've got is only holding them, and us, back.
