Main:Well, well. Here we are, five years after 9/11. It's been quite a trip, fellas, let me tell ya. Terrorism as a method to influence politics in a democratic nation ... should work brilliantly, right?

except terrorists want a lot more than that, say, the world. Any non muslim is sub-human to them, try reading their book. and if they had their way, little girls like you would be murdered for little out bursts like this one.

Female castration anyone?

[i_am_the_owl]

Right ... something like that, chum.

Nevermind the fact that female castration is culturally specific, not religiously specific, to an extreme minority of Muslims. Nevermind the fact that "their book", as you put it, describes Jews and Christians as "misguided cousins" of Islam, not infidels. Nevermind the fact that you're espousing Islamism onto the entirety of the Muslim population.

But being an ignorant ethnocentrist is convenient for you, isn't it?

I hate that you beat me to that comment, I wanted it for myself.

[i_am_the_owl]

Which part? There are still a few angles left to beat it from.

Terrorism isn't effective period.

[i_am_the_owl]

Except on paper.

[wifflebatgaijin]

It isn't on paper. Paper is a valueable combustable material they need to use in their suicide bombings to incinerate the infidel.

There is an article on BBC about how the war has changed from 'lezz get them there terrorists' to 'weapons o' mass destructionation are bad fer our cuntreh' to 'lezz spread freedim! yahoo!' and what that says about America. I don't know where it is anymore, and it wasn't in those exact words, but it was there last week or so.

The BBC is an excellent source for international news, so it doesn't really surprise me that they have such an article.

There was a study done by, I want to say Stanford, back in 2002. They surveyed and researched all the various rationals used by the government to justify the war in Iraq.

In that year, there were like 22 unique reasons we were going to war.
