Kurt,
I hope you are right.
History says you are wrong. But then who is Islam. Are you? I know I am not and don't care. They killed 3000 of my countrymen in one day. Until "they" stop killing non-muslims, especially American citizens I want Islam turned into a pasture land for North American buffalo to graze on. At that point it will be 100% certain no American citizens will be murdered by Muslims for the politicized ideological reasons that spawned 9/11. It worked wonderfully against Japan treating all japanese as the enemy untill we defeated them and they unconditionally surrendered. The U.S. has not been attacked by them since.
The smuggling of 100g may not be a big thing in wheapons terms. It's a big thing in the validation of human nature, persiverance and human success against long odds. If someone wants to aquire the components, there are humans who will try to make them available. I notice so far all the suicide bombers were Muslim. Muslims belong to Islam.
Because we addressed the japanese with this logic we ended the war against them with 100% victory in less time then the United States has been tolerating Muslims killing U.S. citizens world wide since terroism as a tool of political aggression(assimetrical war) by muslim political groups from the middel east began.
Ok, I see... Its not so much that you're an extremist, the problem is that you're more of a racist.
People from all cultures have killed Americans.
We snuffed out what? 30,000 Iraqis in 2006? Probably about the same number in the previous 4 years, so 5 x 30,000 = 150,000 Dead... How many till you feel the blood price is paid? You keep coming back to 3000 dead on 9-11... What do you think the average joe on the street in Baghdad sees when the U.S. lights up 10 times 3000 every year?
Do you think that is engendering love and brotherhood in the Muslim countries? Do you think that the little 9 year old over there who is going to be carrying a gun in a few years is not going to come looking for YOU because of all this?
The U.S. will ALWAYS be hated by some country somewhere in the world. Get over it. The U.S. kills people too. The only difference between the good guys and the bad guys is which hunk of dirt you're standing on when the war starts.
This war causes more hurt every day than it will ever prevent in the future. Its a catastrophe. Just because the hurt is somewhere else, you're happy with it. Your vision is narrow, and your mind is hateful - You are just like them, except you pray to a cross, or perhaps a star of david. Beyond which book you thump, you are no different than them. You're evil and hateful and racist.
