For Buddha32: Do you want the US to travel around the world and by force implementing democracy in every country that doesn't have it??? It just so happens that monarchy's in most cases work just fine. Atleast when they're not ruled by somebody like the Taliban or Saddam. There are many countries around the world that doesn't have democracy. That does not necessarily mean that their people are being oppressed. Kuwait does not need to be forced into a democracy by us and neither does any other country. The people will make that choice when they want it badly enough. Oh and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was NOT about retaliation. It was about ending a bloody war, that most likely would have resulted in even more japanese civilian and american soldier casualties than if they hadn't bombed the two cities. If the US had instead gone into Japan with ground forces, they would have faced women and children in the streets armed with bamboo spears. The japanese have never been good at surrendering and most likely millions would have been killed...On both sides. Don't compare WWII to this conflict. They are of a different nature entirely. Tephladon: To your question of whether or not you can ever look at a moslem again the same way you did before. The answer is Yes, you should be able to. The vast majority of moslems are as horrified by the September 11th massacre as the rest of the world is. Their religion is one of peace and respect. Not of murder or hate. I suggest to all that read this to take a bit of time out of their day and read through some of the info on the website I have provided a link for. Puts the term Jihad into perspective and also shows what the real moslem lives by. The Taliban are not moslems. They may say that they have Allah on their side, but religion is merely a thin shell that these animals hide their true motives behind. I am not a moslem, nor am I a christian, but I have members in my family of both orientations and have many friends that are moslem. Do not judge without knowing what you're judging. If you're a white christian, does that mean that we should look at you with mistrust because you're "the same as Timothy Mcveigh"? "Shit, he's white and christian, he's probably gonna blow up a federal building or burn a cross on someone's lawn. We better keep an eye on him." Ignorance is the anesthesia that numbs the pain of stupidity. Do not judge or hate something, just because it's different or you don't understand it. That makes you no better than bin Laden and his followers. Regards Ian Wendt
