Why do people do this kinda stuff...

Why do people do this kinda stuff...

Because we kill over 100,000 innocent civilians and occupy the holy land. Not to mention kidnap, torture and hold folks indefinitely without trial.

It's only okay when we do it!

When did we kill Moroccans again?

And the Holy land isn't very Holy is it...I think if aliens saw it they would assume it was what we call Hell.

You seem to be forgetting planes flying into skyscrapers, people falling from buildings, the invasion of Kuwait, gassing of Kurds, bombings too numerous to count, beheadings of tourists, etc... Civilians die in wars, nearly 50 million in World War II alone. The Taliban, Hamas, Al-Qaeda and other murders do not subscribe to the Geneva Convention so should not be granted those humanitarian standards. They are not U.S. Citizens. they are enemy combatants (i.e. prisoners of war).

Afghanistan declared war on America and we are reacted appropriately. In hindsight, Iraq was a big mistake because now we are faced with the world's number one exporter of terrorism (Iran) trying to become a nuclear power and we do not have the stomach to invade them. It will cost us dearly in the end, probably to the tune of millions of lives at some point.

Sadly, the good people of that region are mostly poor, uneducated, and greatly hindered by their religious/cultural beliefs. I do not see much hope for them any time soon because those in power (mostly religious figures) have too much incentive to keep the people in the stone age.

Doesn't matter. They're offended by the way we handle other Muslims and Arabs. (And I'd bet money there's at least one Moroccan at Gitmo.)

Is that what you thought when you saw it? Because when I was there it seemed just like any other desert. What's really going to blow your mind is the desert in Morocco and the desert in Saudi Arabia is pretty similar. Wonder how anyone could get offended over our soldiers occupying land that's just like theirs and killing people that're just like them?

Sounds like you've done your homework. You probably know why all that happened then.

When did Afghanistan declare war on us?

And by "appropriately" do you mean overthrowing their government, assassinating anyone we wish, and inserting a puppet western-style government?

In hindsight, Iraq was a big mistake because now we are faced with the world's number one exporter of terrorism (Iran) trying to become a nuclear power and we do not have the stomach to invade them. It will cost us dearly in the end, probably to the tune of millions of lives at some point.

I'll go ahead and flag this post so in a few years when you come back and say the invasion of Afghanistan was also a big mistake we can have a laugh over it.

Sadly, the good people of that region are mostly poor, uneducated, and greatly hindered by their religious/cultural beliefs. I do not see much hope for them any time soon because those in power (mostly religious figures) have too much incentive to keep the people in the stone age.

By "incentive" do you mean, "staying in power so as to secure all the financial aid and big business contract kickbacks the Americans allow them to have?"

And which uneducated people are you talking about? Iraq had a population of college-educated people that rivaled ours and Afghanistan CHOOSES to live in the stone age. Some people don't want to be like America. You do know that, right?

Far as I know, the literacy rate for Iraqi women is about 50%. The global literacy rate in Afghanistan is maybe 30%. Literacy in Pakistani might be 60% but I wager half that or less for women. Of course, women do not matter anyway since they are not allowed to drive, get a divorce, or leave the house without a male companion. I am pretty sure wearing the Burqa was a woman's idea in the first place.

Some people don't want to be like America, true enough. I bet most would love to have that choice, or a voice or some simple freedoms. I doubt the wait for a Visa at the Pakistani Embassy is very long.

I'll bet you've never been to any of the places you slander. It certainly doesn't sound like it.

No, He didn't.

It is quite likely, assuming the allegations are true, this ####### truly did believe he would be acting on behalf of his version of the faith, thus Allah. Stupidity is hearing such turds repeatedly claim just that and ignoring the inconvenient truth.

Allah only gave us one "version" of Islam, and his ain't it. It's terrorists and stupid non-Muslims who agree with them that keep trying to convince us that there is more then one "version" of Islam.
