Please re-read my post. It is not OK to beat people up, but in the case of very bad people, it arouses little sympathy for the victims. And yes, if you cut people's heads off, you are evil. If you need a reminder, I suggest you have a look at the video of Zarqawi cutting off Nick Berg's head. I watched it once and could not watch it again. Pure evil. > I think the list below represents the worst sort of medievalism > but.... you don't think any civilians have died in Iraq? Whoops, > they're collateral damage though aren't they? Lots of civilians have died in Iraq, mostly killed by suicide bombs planted by Al Qaeda. Coalition forces have killed innocent people in Iraq, Afghanistan, and every other war ever fought. Accidents happen. War is awful. We go out of our way to avoid civilian casualties, but mistakes happen. We also compensate victims' families. But war still sucks and innocent people will still die, some of them at our hands. > This society may not kill women for attending school, but it sure gets > pissed off when one doesn't know her place.

She lost the primary because people didn't like her, she ran a traditional campaign, and Obama ran a brilliant 50 state campaign that beat her at the end when she ran out of money. Sarah Palin got the shaft from the media because of her conservative religious views, but she is still Governor of Alaska.

Large parts of Mexico, Central and South America are desperately poor, but you don't see suicide bombers there. Where do we see suicide bombers? Islamic fundamentalists and (formerly) Japanese soldiers (dating back to the days of the samurai). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:286581 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
