What about the Marshall Plan? Was that selfish?
How about the Truman Plan?
5,000 civilians are slaughtered in less than 2 hours on TV as the entire nation watches. What are we supposed to do? Nothing?
I don't think so.
Iraq refuses to let inspectors into facilities where we suspect chemical, biological and/or nuclear weapons are being produced. What are we supposed to do? Nothing? I don't think so.
Sure, we may look like a big bully for allowing sanctions on Iraq but those sanctions would be lifted if the Iraqi government would comply. Their people are suffering because the Iraqi government will not allow UN inspectors into those facilities. Yeah and the US is the bully.
I'm neither a republican nor a redneck and I support the effort.
I'm tired of everyone complaining about our actions when they have no response for what we SHOULD do.
People hate America and always will. Nothing will change that. It is totally impossible to please everyone. End the conflict in the Middle East and drill for oil in Alaska...the environmentalists will hate America. Make abortion illegal, the pro-choicers will hate America. Keep abortion legal and you'll have PRO-LIFERS bombing clinics (talk about ironic!)
If you think America is wrong for the response to September 11th, then tell me what we SHOULD do. No, you can't go back and change the past mistakes of old administrations. You're the Administration that is currently in power...what do YOU DO?
Word UP! I'll tell you what I'M going to do. Next car purchase I make will be an electric vehicle. It will take an effort and extra cash from my pocket but as an AMERICAN, I have the RIGHT to do this and support my own right to choose. This is what I'm talking about a non-violent method of fighting the terrorists. If our dependence on oil is so low to a point where we have no more interests in the Middle east the former terrorists will be BEGGING us to buy their now worthless oil. I know Exxon and Mobil will not like this one bit but tough! the government can put the smackdown on MS so why not Big Oil? Support alternative energy!
It's just not oil either. A lot of the US believes in Zionism. And before I get called a racist or whatever I am not saying the Jews are controlling the country. Take oil out of the picture and it will have some effect. But it wont get rid of the problem.

Most new power plants (where the electricity for your car will come from) these days are natural gas plants. You think that maybe Exxon has a finger in that pie too? I don't mean to discourage you but I've never considered electric cars to be all that green. And if you live in a colder climate they are probably not a good idea at all.
<strong>Yaser Arafat should be next.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Thank you Scott H for stating the obvious. Who is the original Bin Laden?
O'l Diaperhead.
He's also way out of his league now. Most of the Hamas and other Palestinian factions are tired of this old man.
What Israel did today is the start of their new war on the Palestinian terrorists. I'm all for it. Kick the whole population out of there as far as I'm concerned. But primarily go after Diaperhead, the offshoot factions and his kindergarten terrorist camps....
Oil? Maybe...Zionism? So what? Terrorists that kill innocent people and themselves? Dust 'em.
God, what ignorance, the palestinians are beeing bombed as we speak, and I believe that is part of the problem...
Now bombing the palestinian police is certainly gonna improve the situation... Sure, Arafat is not perfect, and certainly no democrat, but have you considered the alternatives?

Let see. The Palestinian murder a bunch kids this weekend and you focus on the Israeli military attack on known terrorist. Who's the ignorant one? Not me.
Palestinian terrorist bomb children.
Israeli military bombs Palestinian terrorist.
Besides Arafat is the biggest obstacle to peace in that area. He does not want peace. He only wants more terror. There is no hope of a solution as long as he is in charge.

No, the problem has been the ignorance of the past political leaders in Israel and the U.S.A. believing in this liar and in not blowing Arrafatass and his stooges to their pre-ordained paradise years ago.
In the past 11 months in Israel there have been 2,600 terrorist attacks, 500 were bombings and 50 were suicide bombings!
Now that Sharon is in the seat things will change. Sharon and Arrafatass have been bitter enemies for decades. It's time to settle the score! Talk didn't work and so the ineviteble is here.
I bet no one can tell me how many Palestinians have been killed in Israel by Palestinian terrorist. I know I can't. I read that there were 7 (?) Palestinians on one of the busses that was bombed. I bet Arafat kills more of his own people in his terrorist attackes than Israel as in trying to stop the terrorist.
If you look at the statistics there are by the 23rd of november a death count of 772 palestinians and 189 israelis. This is BEFORE this weeks tragic events.
Now most of the palestinian casualties are teenagers. There are also a lot of children in these numbers.
Arafat has never been weaker as the leader of the palestines. I for one fear the consequenses of removing him from power. The alternatives here are not promissing.
One more thing: These attacks were responses to the israeli killing of a Hamas leader. Doesn't this show how efficient Sharons leadership has changed thing from bad to worse. Man, this guy, (a former war criminal) is a walking disaster. He promised the people of israel security. The last half year has been the least secure period in a long time.
There is a significant difference between a Palestinian killed while hurling rocks and/or shooting at an Israeli soldier, and an Israeli killed while sipping his morning coffee in a local cafe. Do you have the statistics on that, perchance?
Either way, I'm not all that concerned about Israel/Palestine. For better or worse, Sharon is going to settle things now.
The next target for the US - the head of he serpant, if you will - should be Iran, not Iraq. "Moderate" government or not, there is your prototypical terrorist state.
Well we could always hope that Iran and Iraq would go at each other again with maybe a little nudgeing from us. I was also thinking that there are going to be a whole lot of out of work Afghan soldiers at the end of this war. Rather than leaving them to their own devices, which would lead to more problems in Afghanistan, why not give them modern weapons, some training and point them in the direction of Iraq. Of course we would give them a whole lot of moral support. :cool:
so the hundreds of palestinian schoolchildren who got in the middle of israeli f16 rocketing gaza this morning are terrorist? why the whole damn part of the world is terrorist right? The world would probably be better of looking like the apple logo?

Those who disagree with you or dare to support the president being deemed "redneck" or "republican" indicates a quite healthy prejudice.
