see... i hate flockers like this for more than one reason... and i'm travelling in like 9 days... and i swear, i'm going to be raped... they're going to do an anal cavity search on me (muslim+middle eastern+ within age range = OHMYGODTERRORIST!). anywho, look, i hate terrorists, but a point was made here that i feel i hafta add to. terrorists killed 5000 innocent lives in 9-11 counter terrorists killed over 20,000 innocent lives (and mutilated many times that amount ) in afghanistan iraq and other places since 9-11. Saddam Killed thousands of innocent Iraqis and kuwait's. Sanctions imposed on Iraq killed 500,000 innocent iraqi's, mostly kids. how can you convince me that the counter terrorists are good in that case?that those that imposed the sanctions are better than saddam? is there a difference in innocent life? does your nationality give the value of your life more or less importance? do the intentions REALLY matter that much when an innocent is killed? is there much difference to an innocent if he's killed intentionally or accidently? in malice or in good will? do you honestly think the people who were killed or mutilated care if they were killed by a terrorists, or got killed as 'colateral damage" ? killed by saddam, or killed by sanctions? just food for thought. personally, i see the whole West Vs Terrorism, as the whole Democracy VS communism thing. all the parallels are there, right down to " if you're not with us, you're against us."
