Greets…

I Googled for something completely different, but found your page…and have to say thanks. nice read….

I’m not sure what Bonnie’s language is, but this works perfectly the other way: who cares what Bonnie & her terrorist friends think of America? For one thing, they’re deranged, but that’s irrelevant too — the simple fact is that we can kill their real terrorists faster and more effectively than they can kill us. “Just acknowledge the deal instead of side-stepping it”, Bonnie.

“Gee, Bonnie, how does doing business with the Middle East constitute “colonization”?”

Lee, you know we’ve oppressed the Middle East so horribly. The West has given them *trillions* of dollars for a miineral they couldn’t even get out of the ground without our technology, the poor dears!

Saved Europe from itself twice. Defeated the totalitarian plague that was communist Russia. Given the Saudis and most of the rest of the Middle East access to the oil they didn’t even know they had. Spent more on fighting AIDS in Africa than any other nation. Helped to prevent the annihilation of the only democracy in the Middle East. Prevented the communist North from taking over South Korea…who’s in better shape now? Helped to rebuild defeated former enemies Japan and Germany. (My favorite license plate frame: “Pearl Harbor Survivors Society”–on the back of a Toyota!) Given billions in aid to the “Palestinians”, Egyptians, Saudis, Jordanians, Kuwaitis, Iraqis, etc.

Oh, those EEEEEEEEEVIL Americans!

What is Islam’s “foreign policy”? Shall we ask those in Thailand, Indonesia, Bali, Australia, Israel, France, Germany, Russia (Beslan), Kosovo, Darfur, New York City?

Get a grip, Bonnie. Your hatred is showing.

Right, it’s all our fault – we make you a violent, spittle-flecked ideologue and therefore you’re not guilty of anything.

Enjoy your jihad/revolution/reich or whatever you’re calling it now.

well Mary, that aside, what about the point? You jumped right back to the scary “Jihad” that you attribute to Muslims when there are people from all walks of life involved in various ways. Some fight, some write, some teach, some donate. They are from all religions, all countries, all educational levels. The Jihad is global in more ways than one particular religion. It includes those authors of the St. Petersburg declaration, it includes me and I don’t believe in the Al-Qaida or Taliban school of religious thought. It’s not about any of that, it’s about US foreign policy. I would only repress my feeling and sentiments if i felt guilty.

Very convient for you to be so focused on some religion and culture you are inept for whatever reasons to grasp (and then blame the religion too) and skip over the root causes that are spelled out in plain simple English for why you are being attacked. It has been explained in your language that the ‘terrorists” will remain at your doorstep untill you’re terrorists are off of theirs. Whether or not you like them or understand them is irrelevant, who cares. Just acknoweledge the deal instead of side stepping it which leads me to believe those who keep doing that feel guilty and need to be in denial. For me that is shirking. You’re hiding. Good ol Charlie looks it square in the eye. “Strong Nations do what they can; Weak Nations do what they must.” Colonization, the inhabitants fight back. It’s natural, we don’t need to blame their religion or culture or call them evil, that’s just an attempt to oppress a guilty conscience.
