To: All There are only two canonically-sanctioned approaches for the good Muslim in regard to the Infidel world. He must, when he sees no cause for open Jihad, regard the Infidel as a 'Dhimmi' - one subjected to a legal second-class relationship, required to pay taxes Muslims do not pay, requirements of dress which Muslims should not observe, and the stigma of forced inequality. Or, the good Muslim must be prepared to kill all those who stand in the way of Jihad which is, prope

If I want headline clippings I can watch Fox News scroll them for me. Do you have an opinion and if so what is it? It's an interesting article. Do you have something to say about it - do you support it? Are you in disagreement with it? What? This is a place for debate. You can't debate with the mute, and I'm damned if I'll do your work for you by making any kind of proposition about the linked article - other than that I found it an interesting read.

Tell that to the mother of the next missing girl found raped and murdered. Why? Do you think she'd believe me, unless she was a christian? And if she is, then she won't need telling because that's something she already knows - whether or not at any given moment she feels it. Another futile comment there, steven. If intelligence were liqu

To: drmiler Try again. That maybe "your" opinion, but it seems that "very" few hold it. I'm not known for a concern with how many share my opinions. The 'voluntary' withdrawal took place as a direct response to twenty years of non-productive involvement in Lebanon. Running from something usuall

To: O G San but your basic analysis, that America is losing badly, is spot on. About time more Americans turned off Fox News and realised this. We aren't facing defeat, because there have been no decisive moments in these conflicts where our losses make continuing unfeasable. We're simply 'not

To: Stutefish The reason the Americans did well in fighting two-front wars at the time is simply that they fought as part of a committed coalition with the ability to project military force anywhere deemed necessary. Germany fought essentially alone on both occasions and was crushed by that difference. Not by, as you imply, some American superiorty in the tactics of fighting on more than one front at a time. As the current debacles of Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon all illustrat

To: Any and All - one other thought I've had, which I'll raise now before someone else does. The key to controlling Tehran's nuclear ambitions isn't in oversight and coercion. It's in cooperation, in making and keeping Iran a powerful member of the Club. Invite them in, pamper their bruised egos, keep them on side as one of the elite against the rest. And then give them a free hand in controlling the region to our and their mutual benefit. Has no one here heard of divid

To: drmiler "Israel has tried the negotiation BS before and it didn't work then. What makes you think it'll work now?" I didn't say that they should be allowed to conduct 'negotiations' as they see fit. They should be compelled to negotiate for realistic goals which will serve American interests , not their own. It's one of the advantages of being (presently) the world's only 'super-power'.

To: drmiler "Or their withdrawal from "Lebanon" in 2000???" That wasn't a withdrawal it was a retreat, after twenty years of failure. And with whom has Israel been in negotiation - since it repeatedly claims to have no 'partner' to talk with? Itself? And as is patently apparent, the 'withdrawal' from Gaza has been accompanied by a continuing economic and political stranglehold on the area that makes a mockery of any thought of independence. Gaza is no more free of Israel than w

Dear me. Once again, I'm forced, by the ignorant anthropomorphism of others, to point out the radically obvious. God is not a superhumanly powerful human being. 'God', whatever else it may be, is not an analogue of, nor a surrogate for, human being. IT bears as much relation to humanity as I do to an ant - or better yet, to a unicellular virus or protoplasmic entity. God is not what you are, magnified. God is Other . God is different<

I understand you'd prefer them to admit they are wrong and do it anyway, but don't you think self-delusion is the only way to avoid the human tendency for self-loathing? Fuck self-delusion.
