However, the soldiers on the ground had nothing to do with that man's actions, and did nothing to harm the Sunnis. The attacks by the Sunnis on the Americans is completely without cause and must be treated for what they are: Acts of terrorism against the men and women trying to help rebuild Iraq. I dont

next time you think that seatbelt laws are just and a good thing, think carefully The principle is certainly valid. However, in determining how others are harmed is a very exhaustive thing. The seatbelt is a great example. by not wearing your seatbelt, you make it much easier for you to get injured in case of an accident. Then YOU will sue the other guy for injuring you. The other guy , and the society in general will have to pay for that. so by not wear

"We are better than you. We're more enlightened, more civilized and thus our way is the way of life, yours is the way of death.

I can only presume that you do not believe in the infallability of His Word? Are we to assume that rest is always associated with tiredness? Can a person or God not rest out of satisfaction for a job well done? You certainly Can Not assume that. I firmly believe that HIS WORDS are infallable. That again HIS WORDS not the writers words. if by "Rested" they meant He finished creating "OUR" Universe, i can accept that but not that He is

The writers made it very clear that we can KNOW his "revealed" plan for mankind That is my point KFC. it is the writers, not HIm who say these things. and it is not only one writer, they are many. these writers wrote what they think He said NOT what He said. He specified to whom he revealed h

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: I have no problem with any part of this commandment except the last part i.e "and rested the seventh day". it really raises many questions. was He tired? what happens after the seventh day? He works again? all week or rests again in the seventh day of the next week like people supposed to do? I honestly believe that this last part was i

I believe we should think and not be hogtied by parties into being one of two different ideologies thanks Gideon, the problem is not the parties. it is the people. i wish the sane reasonable people have a party of their own. but how do we do that? and would they represent a majority to get to office and

The difference between our points of view is that you think that you can simply ignore the problem and solve something else NO, i am not ignoring them , the proposal solves the root of the problem. if you believe that fighting the symptoms will cure it then go ahead. unfortunately it will not.

No, it doesn't matter what happened before 1930. Just as it didn't matter what happened in Germany before the 1930s.

You completely ignore and underestimate Israel's fear of death. After the holocaust and after countless Arab claims that the Jews should all be killed, what Israel wants most is security, not all the land.

The local Arabs have been attacking Jewish settlements for a long time before the creation of Israel and when more Jews arrived they attacked them too. In the 1930s, 20 years before the creation of Israel, their leaders co-operated with Germany in finding a solution for the common problem (the Jews).
