These Crimes...

You have climbed
Tall mountains
Crossed vast deserts
And traveled deep seas

You have fought
And vanquished
Enemies, nature
And the elements

You have built
Great railroads
Highways
And air routes

You have created
Powerful works
Of music
Painting
And literature

You have developed
Wondrous machines
Of technology
And science

You have traveled
Through outer space
Inner space
And cyber space

And yet...

Still...

You practice...

Murder
Torture
Rape
Bigotry
And theft

In the name
Of God
And freedom...

You judge
And destroy
The entire world

In the name
Of redemption
And security...

You lie
Cheat
And deceive

In the name
Of defense...

Al Qaeda

Al Qaeda will, probably, never have the resources to do the damage we have done.

But, if they ever do, it will, most likely, be our actions that have enabled them to acquire such resources.

Don't forget, it was the U.S. that supplied Osama Bin Laden with the weapons and training he needed to fight the Soviet Union.

And where do you think the tactics, now being used in Iraq, against our troops, came from?

The Russians had their Afghanistan and we have our Iraq; and the potential demise of the other, remaining, super-power, may be at hand.

Al Qaeda may never defeat us on the field of battle, but the law of attrition may be what destroys us, if we allow ourselves to be bled to death in Iraq.

Nice Defense Of Terrorism

Nice defense and justification for terroism. Can you explain why Hamas is so upset with Jimmy Carter and the Camp David Accords and why their foreign ministers are encouraging the Sudanese to take up Jihad with the U.S.?

Perhaps you can explain why their Covenant states they will not negotiate with others and their mission is to conduct Jihad and promote Islam throughout the world? If you could, perhaps you could discuss Abbas' latest concern about Hamas and Al Qaeda working together in Palestine?

What is the common goal shared by Al Qaeda and Hamas and why is Al Qaeda putting our press releases in the past year or two virtually begging U.S. citizens to embrace their ideology of Islam? Is it because we supported the Afghanis during the Afghan Russian War or is it because they are trying to advance their mission of spreading their Ideology across the world and ridding it of the "infidel."

This is good

you can see that the US and it's actions can be seen as terroristic by billions of people on this planet. That's also why polling shows that most people outside the US see the US as the most dangerous country on the planet.

You've taken the first step towards understanding. Whether you like it or not, you may be joining the tens of millions of republicans and independents who, a bunch of steps ahead of you, have figured out that the Bush approach to policy is bad for America, bad for the world.

Bogeymen

Americans love to believe in the bogeymen that our government warns of, the way parents warn their children of monsters under the bed.

Under Bush, we have killed more innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan than have been killed by all Islamic terrorism in the world over decades. Our troops accidentally kill children on an almost daily basis (suppressive fire into a row of houses where they think they have been fired on from). Gee, I wonder why they hate us… it must be our “freedom”.

It’s not the troop’s fault, it is the fault of the decider in chief who started the war and occupation of Iraq.
