Just seeing where the discussion is going, or might be going, I need to clarify that I do not side with or support terrorism, or any other form of violence for that matter.

Most Muslim terrorists are honourable enemy combatants, but still they are enemies and their reasons for fighting are completely misguided.

One day, hopefully, they will fight on our side, against the invading Chinese - they have so much to lose under Chinese rule and they will make great and brave guerilla warriors.

But get ready to pay them a tax for the privilege.
diver dan,
A Stupidity Tax ? What a great idea ! There's billions to be had ! Imagine the tax bracket you'd be in !

Yuyutsu sorry but your last post is weird
Every God I ever heard of condemns such as your soldiers
In the end folk like you empower them
Lock them up forever

Dan,

No, I marched with tens of thousands of others here in Adelaide, in March 2003, to protest the phony war against Iraq.

No, I don't think that communism has anything to do these days with Afghanistan.

Like any other commodity, oil is traded on an open world market, at whatever prices it can command. Middle Eastern countries all seem to be doing pretty well out of it.

And no, I think terrorist organisations already in existence in 2003, al Qa'ida for example (remember al Qa'ida ?), when the US invaded Iraq, used that illegal invasion as a pretext and an opportunity to build up their strength and attempt to overthrow governments in Iraq (again) and Syria.

And if were a Yank, I would never have voted for Bush.

Anything else ? Do I have a cure for idiocy ? Sorry, Dan, no, you'll have to ask someone else.

Joe

Dear Loudmouth,

Don't lie, you do have a cure for idiocy. It's just that you are keeping all for yourself.

Misopinionated,

If I had a cure for idiocy, I would certainly offer it to you for free, with full directions, given that you need it urgently.

Joe
