extreme fundamentalism anywhere is dangerous, even in america's christian community.
don't even get me started on the australian government, i did not vote for them and i hope they are removed from power next election.
has democracy gone nazi? looks like it.
if saddam is to be retired, which will eventually need to happen, the best way is peaceful, not forceful.
it would reflect well on america to get this right and help stop the cylcle of hatred rather than inflame it.
cheers

you are right. what is needed is a change of attitude.
for 4 years the US government tried to negotiate with the Taliban to get them to turn over Osama Bin Laden
They should not have asked.
Radical Islam is not a war against US policy. It is a war of an archaic and oppressive religion against the free world. Because those freedoms represent the opposite of everything they are and everything they stand for.
it is not a simple question of "cant we all just get along"
it is confronting the simple fact that some people want to kill everyone that is not them... based solely on religious beliefs which rewards them for doing so. they want to spread their own twisted disease that has kept most of them in the fucking stone age ... even in the 21st century.
People like Osama Bin Laden annouced to the world that they were going to begin a 'Holy War" against the US. He did it on TV in Saudi Arabia, afterwhich his passport was revoked and he was exhiled.
He began to kill Americans for several years... Embassy Bombings, Marine Barracks, USS Cole, FIRST AND SECOND attack on the World Trade Center etc.
he was never stopped because of people like you. because of political correctness. because of the hope that if you just gave peace a chance... everything would work itself out. Because people worried more about the horror of hurting someones feelings, or offending someone over the horror of watching Marine Barracks and Embassies explode.
now, it is time to try a different approach and set a new world standard for the consequences of similar behavior. the consequences of harboring, supporting, funding and training terrorists.
and for dealing with people like Saddam Hussein who have spent 11 years spitting in the face of the international Community... namely the UN Security Council while violating IN EVERY WAY the terms of his surrender after his invasion of Kuwait and every Security Council Resolution afterwards.
