Meh continue with your double standards if you like and having read the utter ignorance of your posts im sure you will, but put your self in their shoes those people you hate so much are just you but acting for the other side.

The people I hate so much are oppressors and terrorists who want to kill YOU. Support of stopping further terrorist attacks on our soil (which has been done successfully) is not acting for the other side. Supporting taking down terrorist governments is not acting for the other side. Supporting reducing insurgent frequency, which has happened, is not acting for the other side. The truth is that you are looking for an excuse to act self-righteous and you don't really give a damn about the other side or their intended targets. Your outlet for acting like a jerk toward those who actually do want to make this a better world is what matters to you the most. I see straight through you.

What "double standards" are you talking about? Try not to be so vague.

You are making an unfounded assumption about the reasons for our wars, and you are ignoring the actual realities we are dealing with which are there even if your assumed accusation is correct. Are you sure you have read this thread? Look harder at why I support taking on terrorists. It is so common for people who act like you to jump to conclusions and overlook what people have said.

Yes, my opinion is that oppression is out of the question, and I am willing to force that view on the entire world. If a man beats his kids, I will work to get him in jail if I know about it, even though I would be "forcing my opinion" on him. If I lived in the late 1800's, I would have spoken out very strongly against slavery and expressed major support for the Union without any problem with the fact that I was "forcing my opinion". Are you indifferent to oppression and think it's a person's right to oppress? I am nowhere near agreeing with that view.

As if mine does not? Uh, no. You are seeing things again. I was a Katrina victim, and I blame nothing on Bush. My local government handled things very well and called for federal assistance ahead of time. The fact that the Louisiana government was pathetic in preparing for Katrina and did not request federal assistance until after the hurricane happened and that every one of the few routes into New Orleans had been demolished by the hurricane does not mean that foreign cultures of poverty and despair that breed terrorism should not be improved. Try to stay off the bizarre tangents.

Good luck trying to get Islamofascist dictators and suicide bombers to be understanding, mate. Have you read Bin Laden's letter to America? You sound like you have not. Read the answer to Q2 and tell me how much Al Qaeda and like minded terrorists are willing to be understanding...
