Tamme 0 Posted July 13, 2003 Why are muslims wrong? Becuase killing people is wrong if you do it just becuase they do not believe in your religion, or becuase you are so worried about going to hell you go kill somebody who is not a muslim. You are generalizing, all muslims aren't terrorists! How do you know that muslims are wrong? Have you ever read the Koran? It doesn't say: "Kill Christians or go to hell!" Quote[/b] ]Christians dont go around killing people becuase they dont believe in God, well the shouldnt. *cough*Crusades*cough* Quote[/b] ]Also Saddam I do not believe is trruly hated by muslims, why? Becuase he hates America. Generalizing again! All muslims don't hate America. Quote[/b] ]I doubt Bush will start another war just to gain support, War is excactly what you do to gain support. Look at the map. USA has troops in Afganistan and Irak. What's between those two countries? IRAN!! It's so good that bad guys (to you Cpt.Gumbo: muslims) live next to each other, makes attacking them easier.

Â And I don't care that he retired, he still meant what he said and he still let it get in the way of his jobs. His job was not to please Bush but to verify and assist the destruction of WMD. Since no WMD have been found I think we can conclude that he did a good job. It's funny how people have short term memory. When Blix presented his first report he got very much support from Bush since the report declared that Iraq wasn't cooperating properly. It's first after the second report, when he said that the Iraqis have begun to cooperate and to change their attitude, that Blix became unpopular with the Bush administration who then did their uttermost to pressure him, feed false information to him and tried to discredit him. And all the little sheep followed. I think Blix is being too nice. I'm sure the Bush administration was far more unreasonable and uncooperative than Saddam was. I mean you can clearly see now that the lack of WMD was not going to stand in Bush's way of him getting his little war.

bonko the sane 2 Posted July 14, 2003 mmm...ill risk my opinion here. I really dont believe Bush and his administration...i dont think no one does really,they are in it for the money and power,so was Saddam,so is every government in any country. The hypocrisy is unbeliavable,everybody knew there was no WMD; and now the UK and USA are blaming each other for faulty intelegence reports about those elusive WMD...this is ridiculous, but what i find really crazy is that this attitude is acceptable!! Just feed lies to the people, and even if they dont believe them....who cares...they got the guns the oil and $$$,so they do as they please...it has always been like this from time immemorial...dont pretend there was a noble purpose on that silly war; cos there wasnt any "moral" grounds to it One thing ill never forget was seeing a bunch of barefoot farmers with AK47's being slaugthered by M1A2's...reminds me a lot of fascism/communism totalitarian regimes...or Im I wrong?

Major Fubar 0 Posted July 14, 2003 Why are muslims wrong? Becuase killing people is wrong if you do it just becuase they do not believe in your religion, or becuase you are so worried about going to hell you go kill somebody who is not a muslim. Christians dont go around killing people becuase they dont believe in God, well the shouldnt. Anyways this is not a religious discussion, if we want of those lets open another thread, but Ill try to stay on topic at this point. Also Saddam I do not believe is trruly hated by muslims, why? Becuase he hates America.------ You know, you are either good or evil, there is no middle. Here we have a perfect example of someone who has been programmed by the media, probably all of life, not just post-S11, to regard mulisms as "the bad guys". In everything from news reports to hollywood movies and TV series, we in Western society have been told that muslims are "evil, money grubbing, Christian hating terrorists". I would suggest that anyone that disagrees with this should read a book called "Reel Bad Arabs" by Jack G. Shaheen (link). ----- Quote[/b] ]You know, you are either good or evil, there is no middle. I really hope that's a joke...of course there is a middle - shades of grey, as it were.

Longinius 1 Posted July 14, 2003 "If there's anybody on this forum who still thinks denoir is anti-American, there's your proof." Being anti american and being anti Bush is not the same.

So they have been in Iraq just about as long as Blix's team was. Let's compare the sizes: Blix's team: 100 Coallition troops: 400,000 (2,500 exclusivly dedicated to the WMD hunt) Not to mention that according to you both Saddam and Blix' bias obstructed UNMOVIC's work.

No hidden stockpiles of tons of WMD, delivery systems (45 minutes remember), uran... you name it.
