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.
Maybe you should go back a few more years in time and read up on the UN sanctions that were imposed after the first Gulf War, saying he only had 72hrs is a little bit hazy at best, he had 10 freaking years to straighten up or it was curtains...

Ethanol get rid of your SUV now......

Anyone who puts up a form of resistance isn't a coward in my book.
So you actually sympathise with the "terrorists" because that is what they are, they are not so called "Freedom Fighter's" if they were, why didn't they do this when Saddam was in power, you know why, because these are the very same scum that used to do his dirty work...

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.
I am not bashing their holy book, I am bashing it's proponents who use it to qualify their hatred against any who do not conform to it's teachings, so do not try to twist my words to suite your purposes, as for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, this is exactly what is wrong when revenge is a motivation to justify violence in the name of any book, as for reading it, why would I? it has nothing in it that would appeal to me, as for reading it to understand Islam, I will rely on what the rational leaders of this religion will explain to me, not your version which is fanaticism.....
