Ok you bring up the point of 1993 bombing? You realize there is no connection at all to 9/11, and Ted K. was American right?

My point is terror can come from anywhere and it is the result of angry people.

I feel very strongly about this and I am getting weary of having to explain to people that what they believe, that they can somehow "win" a conflict with terror, is one of the most naive and preposterous conclusions one can come to.

Not because we should be afraid of Iran nuking us, but for the simple reason that they are not producing them for defensive purposes rather offensive. Iran WILL sell them and has already declared publicly that they would. These are facts not right wing ideas. So I want to know what your plan would be to deal with Iran.
I would do everything Ron Paul would do. Become familiar with him. he seems to have what it takes to put this country back on track.

We don't need to deal with Iran. To somehow think that Iran of all countries is somehow the mastermind of a nuclear arms black market is suffice to say, laughable.

Yes, but there is little to no threat. It is mostly in your head.

Forest fires are not intelligent, do not blaze for political reasons, and are a necessary process of nature. Your analogy is irrelevant.

I do believe our national anthem says "land of the free, and home of the brave". Not land of the controlled, and home of the gullible.
I agree. So even though you may believe you think for yourself, you align yourself with the motives of the same people that seek to control you.

You think I don't show soldiers respect? I go on our military bases every week and meet with them. You think the shuffling going on in Iraq is historic? You are part right. It is a historic BLUNDER of epic proportions.

Mr. "Show some respect", why don't you ask some soldiers on their opinion about where we should be? They RECOGNIZE that this "war" is a farce. They AGREE that we should never have went in. They want OUT as much as I want them to be out.
Don't try to pin me as the bad guy here "for not showing respect" when it is you who do not respect the opinion of the soldiers themselves.
