Terrorists aren't always what stereotypes present. You don't have to plant a bomb and blow up a bunch of people to be a terrorist. Hell, Charles Manson just sent other people to do his bidding. Oddly enough, Bush is sending people all over the place to do his bidding. And to think that all of this is stemming only from different religious beliefs is just too much of a jump. Of course religion has its name in there, but what's to gain by annhillating the other religions? Is there enough to gain from that alone to spend all this money on destroying them? There would have to be something in return to make up for the difference. And calling them sick is just assuming that they're all irrational war mongers that have no feelings or beliefs. I'm sure they believe in what they're doing just as much as you believe in what you said above so they're hardly sick and crazed. Hell, they'd actually have to be intelligent to some degree to be able to hijack planes and fly them over various states. A job like that isn't something you hand over to crazed war mongers.
Now, here's my disclaimer. I'm not supporting the people over seas for what they did here. In my book that's a cardinal sin. But I'm not supporting Bush's actions any more or less. I think it's a disgusting power struggle and nothing more.
WMD's not there ya say? Talked to the 182,000 Kurds Hussein gassed and dropped in a mass grave in 1988? Ever wondered why hes so insistent on the UN weapons inspectors leaving? Talked to the 50,000 civilians executed in Basra in 1991 after a Shiite uprise?
Naaaaaaah, wmds aint there.....And even if they were Hussein wouldnt use em....right?
Dont shoot yourself in the head.
