Firstly I'd like you to explain how I'm "easily manipulated" or should I protest killing terrorists like this in battle, especially when they shoot back? Have you ever heard the phrase "a shot fired in anger"? It basically means that war is an angry affair, but according to you I shouldn't shoot any terrorists when I go over because (insert political bullshit here).

You said you were probably going over too, I'd like to see what happens to you when you hesitate in combat.

It goes without saying that it was a sick, evil act, but it does nothing to justify this war.

And never mind that our justice system here in the US is loaded with people who have killed others in equally cruel ways for equally petty reasons. Those Al Qaida guys from the tape are on the "other side" of the war, but when it comes down to it they're no worse than many citizens of our own supposedly civilized country.

Remember the case several years ago where two guys dragged a man to death behind their pickup truck just because he was black? I'd wager that the victim suffered far more than Berg did when he was killed, but nobody is crying "nuke the whole fucking state of Georgia!" or "the world will be better off if white people are wiped out."

Again, fuck off. This guy's an ass who says he wants members of my family killed. I refuse to dignify that bigotted bullshit.

Yep, then it all ends and half of humanity's burning in a lake of fire for eternity after the battle of Armageddon. Mostly the hentai fans.

Your personal attacks make no sense. Besides it isn't Christians that destroy the world at the end anyway. Jesus reserves that right for Himself.

I don't think we should just destroy Iraq as there is a lot of innocent people living there. However I think the terrorists should be dealt with accordingly, our country needs to take a much more aggressive stance on rooting them out and destroying their bases of power. The guys who dragged the black man through the street a few years ago gets no more sympathy from me then the guys who cut off Berg's head either.

I'm going to ask Strider to lay off the insults, since no on else has. I don't care how much MVS pissed you off, flinging cuss words and threats at him makes your argument lose all credibility.

Argue, but do NOT stoop to insults. This goes for all of you. *Points yardstick menacingly.

What? The mass assumptions he makes and broken record rants weren't enough?

No worries, Gohron! You seem like a level-headed guy and I'm sure you'll do a great job in Iraq.

It's stuff like this I was thinking of:

Some of the posts here would read just like Bin Laden speeches if you replace the words "muslim terrorists" with "infidel crusaders of the USA" :(

Okay, let's do what we did over the past 10 years, and let terrorists attack us and plan our doom while making :( faces all the live long day.

Of course. Because the world is black and white, the only options available to humanity are total war and naive apathy.

When a group of individuals (Al Queda in this case) is planning to kill you, and has proven the means and the method to do so, yes, it is that black and white.
