I suppose I like to see the best in everyone, but that can get you in trouble sometimes. And we *will* be totally unprepared if we continue on the track the democratic members of government and most of the world wants us to take. without a western presence in that region (other than Israel) it's going to just become even more radicalized and that would be death.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-10591326728038014512007-04-11T19:53:00.000-04:002007-04-11T19:53:00.000-04:00BTW, this is Chad....had to change my Profile...So...BTW, this is Chad....had to change my Profile...So, I'll be ODP which stands for Old Dead Presidents.<BR/><BR/><BR/>It is a sad and scary situation and that is what scares me about those who say that we should placate them and then stay out of thier region.

The hate also is generated, in part, due to the fact that we have military personnel in that region and to them, particularly the Saudis is blasphemous to them. <BR/>It's kind of sad to think that there are no real solutions to the problem.<BR/><BR/>But, bottom line, the fact that they continue to murder each other, other Muslims,and not just westerners just proves that it is a hate-mongering religion with a culture of violence. They don't just hate the Israelis/Jews or the west, they hate each other. <BR/>How do you change that?Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-47824060254968887012007-04-10T17:40:00.000-04:002007-04-10T17:40:00.000-04:00D'Souza is partly right, but I agree with incognit...D'Souza is partly right, but I agree with incognito. Its a part of the issue but its not at the heart of it.<BR/><BR/>I think it does come down ultimately to one thing. And that thing is Israel. The U.S. support of Israel is the ultimate cause. I do think that the open divisions within our country, the popular culture/social issues, etc have helped to embolden the terrorists. But ultimately its because we stand in the way of muslim's retaking Jerusalem that we are so hated.<BR/><BR/>Thats my 2 cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-42020031298943222832007-04-10T00:31:00.000-04:002007-04-10T00:31:00.000-04:00Thank you for stopping by, Panhandle!

I'l...I'll agree, but only to a certain extent, BCF. I'll *agree* that in many ways western mores (not just the US, because progressive countries like Holland, Scandinavia, France etc. are far more 'morally liberal' than the U.S.) have degenerated into, oftentimes, a cesspool of depravity. So, given the fact that many European countries are *far* more secular and morally liberal than us, why were WE singled out? There's more to it than that. I think D'Souza's theory is too simplistic. <BR/><BR/>Furthermore, it doesn't give them the right to destroy our country simply because they find us morally depraved in comparison to their repressive, pre-historic vision of how one should conduct one's life. <BR/><BR/>I think they would hate us regardless. I think they hate us because they think of us as a superpower and representative of the West, as a whole. And Western values, regardless of how traditional they might be, are anathema to them. <BR/><BR/>ALways good to have foof... oops, food for thought. :-)Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-13768177598827542612007-04-09T20:21:00.000-04:002007-04-09T20:21:00.000-04:00I'm not a closet Republican and will admit that I ...I'm not a closet Republican and will admit that I voted for Jimmy Carter.

He argues that traditional/religious societies are appalled at the immorality and secularized vision of America that the left has by word and deed promoted. These same societies could not be angry with classical American values.

Are they even available over there? I wonder. And yes, I hope we can get enough people to protest when they do.<BR/><BR/>And I'm right there with you Papa J.! Don't try to force your beliefs on me and I will do likewise. But that's not how it is with Islam today, unfortunately. And I know, I am PC with certain subjects, but not when it comes to this. Can't be.<BR/><BR/>Well, Blogbiter. What can I say. I choose not to hide my head in the proverbial sand, no pun intended. I'm not offended by the PC, I just think it is truly foolish and dangerous to appease, anyone. I'm not the one who coined Islamicization, and I stand by it.
