Oooooh, OOOOOOOh, Mr Karteaar....... I know, I know...

Spreading freedom?

you are half right !!!

spreading freedom and democracy !!!!!

It was a Taliban supporter and he is the reason we are there. I would think your question would be more germain if the policeman was simply a policeman fighting against a perceived occupation of his country.

I view it as a, rather there than here issue. I don't see it as us creating a terrorist, I see them as fundementalists with mission and it is 180 degrees from out best interests.

But don't repsond because I realize you think it is our doing and fault.

Richard if another country occupied us and killed Americans and you fought back and killed the occupier who didnt like your NEOCON rationale, would you consider yourself a terrorist?

One mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter.. isnt that the saying?

So would you be a terrorist?

in our revolutionary war, we were terrorists !!!

Joe, as much as you disdain the founders and Americans who fought for our freedom can you advise how many attacks George Washington carried out against women and children shopping for Saturdays dinner. Can you advise how many farmers the founders told to not wear a uniform of their Army and kill innocent civilians gunning them down as they walked down the lane to the market..

It is not a good analogy.

None of the analogies used in the posts match what is going on.

I say we spray this thread with sudafed, that'll take care of those pesky Autumn analergies...

Chomsky: Obama Continues Bush Policy

interesting view from Chomsky,.
I dont know much about chomsky,. but,. he seems a bit upset about obama.
and he may be to the left of center?

blues..left of center????... he is so far left he makes Beezeelbub look like a moderate..you love looking up stuff look this freak up.....

it would seem this chomsky guy, would be a big obama promoter,.
maybe obamamania is coming apart?

There are a couple of new players on the site who could be his sons.

That is not entirely true. We were revolutionaries, and did not use car bombs or kill civilians.
