How is a post about Abu Musab relevant in any way to SETI? Hey Einstein, you don't have to condemn an action to no be in favor of it. Am I glad we had to drop the bomb on Japan? Hell no, but Japan got what they deserved for not only attacking us, but for aligning themselves with a genocidal madman hellbent on conquoring the world. |

We live in a time where, if you don't stand with those who are condemning, we stand to be condemned. |

Then maybe you should try moving out of China. I hear in America, not only are we allowed to have differing opinions, but we are even allowed to express them without interference by the government. |

How is a post about Abu Musab relevant in any way to SETI? Of course your worldview isn't tainted by your religious conversion is it? The Irish Republican Army? That's a different horse altogether isn't it? Firebombing of Tokyo is best justified by the fact that there was no way that the US was to allow that war to continue any further....that entire nation was on its way to self destruction. They had murdered/raped their way throughout Korea and China....the poor people of the Phillipines had been massacred over and over. The cities of Japan proper were nothing but a war machine...churning out weaponry. As far as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs... When the president was deciding whether or not to use this weapon he was in doubt and when he was informed that it would cost 1 MILLION DEAD AMERICANS to do otherwise....to invade Japan, he was told "sir, if you don't use this weapon what will you say at your impeachment...." I'm glad we've got those 1 million Americans.... Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data! I did NOT authorize this belly writing! |

Then maybe you should try moving out of China. With out overt interference by the government. How can you form a proper opinion about something when your media and education system works so hard to keep you from knowing all the facts? Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was a horrible man, I don't think there are many that will morn his passing, however, to sit and cheer and gloat is distasteful. We should all be thinking about his victims and the tragedy of having to send young men out to be killers in order to stop him. Reality Internet Personality |

And now, our lead story today... Sheikh Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and GeneralÃÂssimo Francisco Franco are still dead. No animals were harmed in the making of the above post... much. |

We live in a time where, if you don't stand with those As someone who is not an American, but who lost five friends on September 11th, worthwhile people all, I say to you: On your propaganda - No sale! Take your threats couched in pious language and try to sell them to the gullible. The rest of us oppose you, and in the end, we will win. |

Day 7: Abu Al Zarqawi is still dead (for all you who think this is a hoax or a conspiracy). I'm not cheering about it, I'm just noting the fact for all those who don't believe it. In fact, in the past I have said that I mourn for his family. I also mourn for all those innocent victims of his terror attacks and for those he beheaded. |

Then maybe you should try moving out of China. 1. You don't get to redefine our 1st Amendement regardless of how much you may disagree with the concept or the reality of it 2. I don't rely on the mainstream media or my education as the sole source for my information. 3. I'm certainly not dancing in the streets like we saw the muslim community doing after 9/11, but as you stated, I'm certainly not morning the death of a terrorist piece of crap either. You see, darling, I don't consider western culture to be evil, the USA to be Hell, and Bush to be the devil. That allows me to be objective when I hear news stories......something you OBVIOUSLY don't have the ability to do. |

1. You don't get to redefine our 1st Amendement regardless of how much you may disagree with the concept or the reality of it I think I have some idea of where you get your information from. You seem like a very frightened man. Where did you see the footage of 'the Muslim community' dancing in the streets? Why weren't you shown the footage of 'the Muslim community' acting in horror and disgust..because that was the reaction I saw from every single Muslim I know. You see, darling, I don't consider western culture to be evil, the USA to be Hell, and Bush to be the devil. That allows me to be objective when I hear news stories......something you OBVIOUSLY don't have the ability to do. Don't call me darling you ignorant f*ck...and don't make assumptions about what I think about America or Americans..:-) Reality Internet Personality |

I remember the day of 9/11 the video coverage of the Palestinians dancing in the streets over it. |

I remember the day of 9/11 the video coverage of the Palestinians dancing in the streets over it. I'm sure that's true...but why was that the only footage of Muslim's you were shown? Reality Internet Personality |

In fact, in the past I have said that I mourn for his family. I also mourn for all those innocent victims of his terror attacks and for those he beheaded. According to a video of a CNN reporter his own father wanted him dead dead dead because as a youth he was a thug... He already had 2 death sentences passed on him in Jordanian courts. I do not mourn for his family. I am much less charitable than you are.... Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data!

I saw that too. It did leave me with a definite feeling of anger. I remember it well: and the 5 friends I lost in the WTC were guilty of nothing more than showing up for work on time. :( |

I remember the day of 9/11 the video coverage of the Palestinians dancing in the streets over it. Actually there were a good number of other muslims who were shown on TV that day. Many were covered in soot from the collapse of the Twin Towers. Several were wearing firefighter uniforms. What the world did not see was a single organized rally that day in the Islamic world denouncing the terrorist attacks. It wasn't conclusive that day that Islamic terrorists had perpetrated the attacks, but the choice of targets was enough to get Palestinians and other dancing in the streets. No animals were harmed in the making of the above post... much. |

Yes...that was everywhere. Anyone claiming otherwise with the notion that 'I know a muslim that wasn't dancing in the streets'...is the exception that proves the RULE.... Clue in, everyone.

I remember the day of 9/11 the video coverage of the Palestinians dancing in the streets over it. Yet there were Muslim led rally's denouncing the attacks. How come they weren't given the same coverage? You also might want to ask yourself why the Palestinians would have such hatred for the US that they would be celebrating an act of mass murder perpetuated against them.

The Palestinians? Call us crazy but the Palestinian militants explicitly state they wish to destroy the JEWS...Hamas, the PLO, Islamic Jihad, whomever... The U.S.A supports Israel, the 'JEWS'....it is easy to see the hatred... BTW, if it were due to strictly opposing views of anti 'imperialism' then they would be most apt to aim their anger at the BRITS as the Americans don't have a history there like the BRITS do with their occupations and colonies.

The Palestinians? Aim their anger at the Brits you say? You mean like placing bombs on our tube trains and buses? However, the British Empire is finished along with the atrocities committed in it's name. The American one is not, and the majority of the British population are disgusted with our government for following the US into their war. The Palestinians hate the Jews, they took their land and murdered thousands of them. There is enough hatred and slaughter there on both sides, but it didn't just come out of thin air. Perhaps you should look into the history before you judge them. Reality Internet Personality |
