In it, Calvin and his stuffed tiger, Hobbes, are surveying a field of virgin snow. "It's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!" Hobbes says. "It's a magical world, Hobbes ol' buddy," Calvin replies. "Let's go exploring."

While a red rose on an internet forum is noble, I prefer to remember Nick Berg by supporting the effort to exterminate the people in Iraq who support terrorists and the beheading of Americans trying to help them rebuild their country.

Fact is, the white sheet of paper to most islamic terrorists is a canvas only THEY get to draw on, and the rest of the world has to watch them and fear what they are putting on it. Its a DANGEROUS world out there, and those who 'explore' might just get their heads chopped off for doing it.
I prefer to eliminate the cause of terrorism worldwide, not just in one specific part of the world where Al Qaeda never had a presence before.



Back on topic:


That was always one of my favorite comics...esp. that final one of Calvin and Hobbes. Berg was just a guy, like any of us.


Don't spew this garb everywhere. The person who has been said to be responsible for Nick Berg's death has/had a direct link with Al Queda. They were also there prior to the war where they had killed over 700 people before America had even made an attempt to liberate Iraq.

Stop saying Al Queda was not in Iraq. They are, they were, and they will be for a long time to come if we just decide to back out.

I'm not spewing clothes anywhere. WTF are you talking about? :confused:

And, what proof do you have that those who killed Berg had a direct link with Al Qaeda. There is no absolute proof at this point. It's still under investigation.

Also what proof do you have that Al Qaeda was in Iraq before the war and had killed 700 people there before the invasion?

Al Qaeda did not have a presence in Iraq before the invasion. bin Laden hated Saddam. bin Laden tried to get the Saudis to allow his Al Qaeda organization protect the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina from Saddam. bin Laden has called Saddam and his supporters infidels.

Saddam kept religious factions suppressed with his Fedayeen troops.

No, if there's anyone spewing anything here, it's you and your bullsh*t.

I don't think that's true at all. From my vantage point both sides of the political spectrum see his death as awful and supporting their own views. Plenty of people have good reasons to keep his name front and center, which is as it should be as far as I'm concerned. He and Danny Pearl will not be forgotten.

except by the media, who mention nothing of him...hey conjur...baa baa, you reminded me I need to send you more cheese

I don't believe you and I have been conversing in this thread.

How about you knock off the idiotic bleatings of a mindless sheep and actually try to add content to the discussion? You can start by answering my questions in my post above.

Would you care to back that statement up with a link or are you just trolling your boat?
