Moonbeam, I'm not sure you can inject love into people....it's best delivered through contagious means.I would try to spread the side of Islam I think is real, the side that's animated by love. I would publicly challenge Islamic states when the repress their people and channel the hate that generates toward us.

The point I'm trying to make, I think, is that we have to engage the debate on what is the meaning of Islam. The principles that our country were founded on are, in my opinion, thoroughly Islamic and had their origins and development there. We are born of the same fire as illuminated all religions. As with politics, only a liberal view can save us. Radical Islam is of the conservative side. It's the "I'm the only one right" crowd.
Because the FBI never wanted to question them.Perhaps the commission will explain why members of the bin Laden family were spirited out of the United States on orders from the White House before they could be questioned by the FBI.
I seriously doubt that Clinton would have gotten approval for a full scale military assoult on the Taliban and Al Queda from the Republican in Congress.Originally posted by: Dari
a full scale war, not unlike Enduring Freedom, would've done the trick. On military affairs, clinton was a puss. If he had balls he would've been much more aggressive against al qaeda. But somalia left him shook and scared. Bin Laden saw this and kept the missions going. Clinton needs to spend time with 9/11 victims/families so he can see how is phuck ups affected ordinary americans.

The same knee jerk isolationist Republicans who condemned Clinton for not starting a war... hmm...
Nor would have Bush from the Democrats in Congress...until 9/11 gave us the moral legitimacy to do so.I seriously doubt that Clinton would have gotten approval for a full scale military assoult on the Taliban and Al Queda from the Republican in Congress.
Care to provide any verifiable quotes of these Republicans who 1) opposed Clinton's efforts to strike at Al Qaeda and 2) condemned Clinton for "not starting a war"?The same knee jerk isolationist Republicans who condemned Clinton for not starting a war... hmm...

These terrorist folks expect to die and go to paradise while doing Alah's work... threaten them with bombs or whatever... it is Allah's will that they die when they die... if the mission they are embarked on does not succeed it too is Alah's will... the terrorist is immune to the poison of threat. This is how they think... we must find another way to eliminate the threat... because it is real, seems to me.
