Deploying Israelly troops to Afghanistan would be like deploying US troops to support Iran. The hate runs deep between Israel and basically all Muslim countries. It's that whole gaza strip thing.

I'm shocked that you, being deployed to Iraq, knowing Iran supplies Iraq and Afghanistan weapons and ammunition, used to kill our brothers. Want the US to support them. It really blows my mind.

We could debate this to no end. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

So everyone who goes into politics is scum?

No; however, elected officials have to consistently choose between compromising their principles and staying in power.

The only way to be in politics is to be in an appointed position. Those guys have a way of being able to stand their ground and hang around the overall scene for decades.

Well put. And from my limited experience most do compromise to retain power.

What I wouldn't give for a few years of honest elected officials. People that are more interested in what's best for the US instead of what's best for their political career or the people trying to pay them off. As it is, I've pretty much lost all faith in ever finding those people.

What is the value to burning 50 Korans? What possible purpose does that serve?

To me, no worse than burning a USA today newspaper, a piss poor excuse to kill somebody. But that is their mindset. I think I will roast a few Korans on the Barbi tonight:dance2:, which is mine and every other Americans right.

But that doesn't mean its okay to do something that is intentionally designed to antagonize them, serves no legitimate purpose whatsoever, and is done expressly to lead to this reaction.

Part of what delegitimizes terrorism is the notion that sometimes people make political statements in hopes of causing a reaction that they can use to justify something far worse. That is EXACTLY what Jones is up to here. He got his wish.
Now let's watch the anti-Muslim crowd try to portray all Muslims as supporting this so as to justify broadening the war to encompass all of Islam.

What we need is a national 'burn the koran day.'

Let's put the shoe on the other foot.

Say you enter Saudi Arabia and have a Bible in your possession, that Bible will be confiscated and will not be returned to you when you exit the country.

What happens to that Bible??

It's proably burned.

So should we assault the NY UN and start killing people.

Now that I think about it that might not be the worst idea of which I could think.

if this was a Bible burning or flag burning ceremony, lawgaytor would have defended this to the death. oblabla would have defended this too and have gone out of his way to say anything bad.

I would be fine with that. I am completely indifferent to Israel's "plight"

I agree, back off the support of Israel, and offer no support to either side, and let thme work it out....

Then the US could focus more attention on US issues, ie, Debt, Education, Healthcare, and Immigration

if the whole purpose is to insult someone then it is a hateful act. Rationalize it all you want

teaching no religion in schools would make me happy. There's enough math and science to keep kids occupied for 8hrs a day

obviously there isn't, based on our testing, but they will get good knowledge about putting on condoms and understanding homosexuality. most government schools have become lib indoctrination camps. need need to study math and science when you can get a job with the government

The funniest thing about this outrage LG is having is while I don't agree with the preacher's actions, his point was pretty much proven with these Islamic reactions.
