bodhi thanks you have really gotten me in trouble with my wife ,I should be going but I must respond.
I agree it is good you have read these books at least you care.There are no more to join the ranks as they joined the day they were born.There are no more martyrs as they have benn martyrs since the days of Abraham.[remember there is always the exception to the rule] As you say the 1800s were different but 1 thing isnt...the reason for all this...their religion...doing the same thing would bring the same results. Because of oil, money and the ability to buy weapons they have a loud voice....they also have a choice...of good and evil.Because of their religion they have chosen evil,no different than nazism or communism in fact worse,The former wanted to rule you the latter wants to kill you.We cannot help them the majority dont want it and they could buy it.We cant listen to them as long as they teach babies to kill babies will bombs,and we cant change that.They do not have to be contained that is not our need,because of how fanatic they are we must destory them to the point they give in for a while.Thru out history from the olden days to now when that happened and it did a lot they stopped for a while.It does no good to live in the past,to beat our selves up or feel guilty for past mistakes,us or them,that is human life and it will continue for ever.The middle east is and will be a power just like greece.rome,russia ,germany,etc.as in the 1900s we will have to stop them or die,that is our choice,yours,nashes,mine,xtoronto everyones,no different than before or in the future.do we have the will? Last thing...ever wonder why Israel has not been destoryed at the beggining to now,why russia and others have been defeated in afganistan but it was a cake walk in comparsion for us give it some thought.
respectfully demaw
