Great replies guys!:) Thanks Kraut, thanks MacGiraffe, and thanks Illusion for the Saud summary.
(working on my reply now...)
Okay i admit your right but what the hell you want us to do SIT DOWN AND HAVE FUKING TEA WITH THE CRAZY SON OF BITCHES I CAN BELIEVE IT NOW HERE IS MY LITTLE PLAY.
President of USA/bushhey um some one tell osama bin laden i want to have tea with him and settle this."
Do you realize that the Taliban conflict and the Saddam conflict are completely different? The Bush administration just tried to tie them into one... and did a fairly poor job on it. We've been friends with Saddam before in the 80's, it was possible to achieve again. I don't think sending 300,000 troops into your country calls for sturdy grounds on the negotiation table. I never said that we should have a tea party with Osama... I said we should go for the Taliban, despite my feelings and empathy for him.
I personally, sympathize with Osama and his cause. The fact that I live in the US, and the fact that he won't make a compromise with us, saddens me. He is a political mastermind who knows how to play his cards right. I respect him.
Tommorow 1000 so on. I think this is some sign that god wants us all to live in peace or he will MAKE ARMEGEADON come quick. Now srry to get into religion but this is a eligous war maybe what we need is another crusade i really dont know as long as bombs arent going off on my streets i dont really care.
Woh there Bruce all mighty. Hold it. A crusade, by definition, is extensive militaristic actions for a certain cause. Due to the Christian crusades in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries, Arabs still see it as "lets kill Muslim's!" If I remember correctly, the code name for their operation in Iraq was originally "crusade." Say that in Iraq, and it's the equivilent to saying "I'm going to kill all you Muslim people." So basically, you want a crusade Marine? You want, to take your Christian faith to an extreme, and brutally murder the Iraqi's through acts of excessive destruction. Basically you want to be a terrorist. You are helping me prove my point time and time again. You say we're not terrorists... yet you use the word crusade and talk about killing them all.
You know why troops are dieing in Iraq? You think 50 a day is a bad thing that the Iraqi's should be held responsible for? If a Muslim man, is standing 100 yards away from you, at your house with an M16 and an armored vehicle, what are you going to do? The Muslim man, then spots you, and starts shooting at you. You look up from you post, and get him dead between the eyes. Why did you shoot? Your reason is that he was on your home turf, he was armed, and he fired at you, so you were simply defending yourself. Is this not, the same thing, yet instead of a Muslim man in the US, a US soldier in Iraq?
But when you say dont stick up for your country thats just bull shit.
What am I supposed to stick up for? I stick up for what is
right, not what helps my ideological beliefs progress the most.
and sure go ahead i am a child i am here to leanr and express my views and if there wrong it is the elders not meaning you have to be 60 but like older ppl then me to correct me. I really dont think though that since my teacher is in the marines that i got to answer to eveything. I just felt like replying but if some way some how one them terrorist or radicals blow him up and he dies i am joining the marines and avenging his death.

That's good!:) Education is a powerful thing. I didn't realize you were 13, hell, I'm 16, and therefore, I'll try to not be so hard on you. Everyone has to start somewhere, sometime, and you'll only benefit from discussions like this.
And if you would like to get into religion, I'll let you know that I am a member of the Atheist Americans of atheists.org. I'm currently active in the Atheist community.
