Mr. Dalek, of course the US. isn't going to publicly state they are going to bomb a mosque. That would be bad for PR. We just sweep stuff like that under the rug and go on about the war. You cannot simply classify all the bombings as merely "collateral damage". A resistance is a resistance Mr. Dalek. It would be better to shoot from a school window than not to shoot at all. Anyone who puts up a form of resistance isn't a coward in my book. As far as the living conditions go, check out the mud huts across the border. We are not at war with Saudi Arabia. Look at the homes of people from Iraq and Afganistan and compare them to the ones in Saudi Arabia. There is a big difference. The so called "insurgents" have to get some type of income to help with their resistance. Shells aren't free. Moving forward.

Your ethanol link doesn't seem to work. I'd love to read more about this abundant natural resource. I've allready noticed on signifigant problem with it though. You said:

if the US wanted to, they could also combine ethanol with oil and reduce their dependancy on foreign oil
The kicker is you still have to have oil. It's only delaying the inevitable.



Tedob1, you said everyone has the right to say what they feel and I totally agree with that. THen your last comment says something off the wall.

the ways of the muslims where just an oddity to westeners when the world was larger but it isn't large any longer. now your ways have become intolerable.
Why are they intolerable? Because it's differnt? Maybe because we don't understand them, nor do we want to understand. The Muslim's ways are different so it is intolerable? That doesn't make sense to me.

Rcgreen, I don't have any comment on any of that crap that you posted other than that one statement.

No one respects Islam
because you don't respect yourselves.
I think that Muslims seem to have more respect for themselves than most Christians as far as religion goes. Tedob1 mentioned the "Di Vince Code". He is right, you don't see any film directors dead in the street or hordes of people causing havoc because of that film. However, if yuo made a similar film about Muhammad, I'd bet $100 to a dime, something would happen.

One more thing Dalek, let's not forget what type of dialogue and diplomacy we used with Iraq. I believe we gave Saddam 72 hours to get out of Iraq or go to war. Wow, now that's some good choices there. I'd like to see what would happen if China or Russia told Bush he had 72 hours to get out or go to war.

Blood against Blood, Hand against Hand. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.

On a side note, I would just like to add that even if you do not agree with Islam or the Quran, I'd hope that you could at least read it, or a part of it, and try to grasp it's ideas and concepts before you go bashing it.
