First, lets get something clear, this is not a war about religion! The massive majority of muslims (and I know quite a few) are shocked by the actions of terrorists. However, when something bad happens there has to be a scape goat and in this case it's islam. Yes, the media may have islamic this and extremeist that, but every single story that can be linked to islamic terrorism in anyway gets shown in the media these days.
The media, now there's an interesting topic as most of it in the US is owned by a group of Bush's mates, doing there bit to help Geroge out.
It amazes me what is passed as genuine fact on channels such as Fox or other right wing channels, infact it's so bad it's actually funny to watch the hours of propaganda broadcast everyday - complete with a little warning in the corner to remind you of the "high" risk from terrorism at the moment.
They don't mention that so far this year the chance of being a victim of terrorism in the US is currently zero, as it was last year, and the year before that. And they don't have a sign saying "car accident risk high" for all those who drive.
But hey, that wouldn't have the same effect on people as being told the risk of being shot dead by an islamic terrorist with an AK-47 on your front doorstep is "high"...
After all, how on earth would George Bush get back into power if people didn't think the war on terrorism was a huge issue. Yes, brave George fighting against the evil dynasty on Bin-Laden, or business parter as he's called him on many an occation!!! Yes the Bush and Bin Ladens go back a long way, which is why Bush had all the Bin Ladens flown out on a private jet on September 12th , during the ban on flying!! The FBI weren't even allowed to interview them before they left!
Then we have the war on Iraq itself, as planned a few days after George Bush got back into power. Of course, he didn't have a reason then but when he "got wiff" of some weapons programs he knew it was his time. Sadly of course there were no nuclear weapons, or chemical weapons manufacturing plants, or that smoking gun he was going on about so much. If fact Saddam had even got rid of many of the weapons sold to him by the US! Of course by the time this came to light, the game had moved on so the Bush media machine could move on to all those terrible insurgents causing havok for the occupation...
It's interesting that so many people have voted to nuke Iraq to deal with the problem, no one has actually stopped to think of it from the other perspective... i.e. the average person in Iraq. So, lets do that, but to make it more interesting, lets do it in reverse...
Imagine if you will that WW2 went differently and that the US is no the only world super power but Germany is. Before you all get p*ssed off, it's just an example of a situation where the US isn't top dog.
Now, lets say that for the last 20 years the whole country has been run by a dictator - Dave. Everyone in the country lives in fear of the all powerful leader and everyone has a story of a friend killed one way or another by the henchmen of Dave. That's bad enough, but it's made worse as he's got full support from Germany who supply him with whatever he needs to both continue his fude with Canada and control his people as far as he wants. Bad huh?
However, in the last ten years things have got better, Germany has stopped sending supplies to Dave, infact he's starting to repel control from the superpower and treat his people with a little respect. Things are starting to look up!
Then one day a coloumn of German tanks rumbles into your town, shoots anyone who can't get out of the way, tortures a few of your friends etc. etc. It's nice that Dave's gone, but your country is now full of a foreign force you did not ask to come who seem insistant on blowing up anyone who "looks like a terrorist" (quite a few as they think everyone looks like a terrorist!). Oh, and forcing a communist style of Govt, which is against your beliefs, on you.
Do you not think that just a few Americans might object to that? Yeah, I think they would too, In the same way the Iraqi's have objected to being over run by US troops, there to "westernise" the country (by force).
Still, don't worry about this Iraq mess, as 9/10 of you have decided on the solution - nuke them.
Yes, that's right, when a small country objects to being overpowered by the US, kill it's entire 24million population with a nuke. Problem Sorted.

...while the US is busy on so many fronts the terriosts will find a weak spot and attack again ! Sure you can NUKE them...and kill all kinds of innocent kids ...but why...do you really want to do that ?? no... not the Americans that I know. I had the opportunity to sit down and speak with an American Ambassador saturday and he said the plans have been changing...the States want nothing better than to pull out the troops and concentrate on homeland security...in other words ...regroup and protect the country. History has proven that when a powerfull country is spread out thinly it's in trouble...the only way to beat the USA and it's might is to weaken it down with many fronts and then to strike !! Your country know this very well and can't risk being a weak target...so to NUKE is out of the question...it would be the end of your strong and free country...
