"proper islamic setup"? you, sir, are guilty of perhaps the greatest
ethnic slur that could be uttered, for you have in that statement
painted all islamic peoples with the bin laden brush. iran, shiite,
would love nothing more than to see all the sunnis fall, which
includes bin laden, afghanistan, iraq, and a substantial portion of
the arab world (iranians, by the way, are not arabs). in short, like
so many europeans, you have no goddam idea what you're talking about.

your definition if forward is a peculiar one. and we do not give a
toot as to what he feels until what he feels is the fires of hell,
which shall be coming along to collect him shortly.

ah yes, the whole "the u.s. had it coming, but that's not to say that
the u.s. had it coming" crap we're beginning to hear from the
cheese-eating surrender monkeys of the world.

| Islamic regime started by cutting back on oil, then so be it.
| Conserve. It is possible.

your ringing endorsement of cowardice is duly noted.

There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand;
Beware the
People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
