Saddam would never have rearmed after the inspectors went away, right? He followed all of the dictates of the oil for food program, right? You know, rather than losing my uncle to free France and the rest of Europe, I'm beginning to think leaving the Nazis in power would have made Europeans happier & my family would have remained intact. Remember, Hitler stopped all of that European political infighting & kept great order. It's so easy to forget the mass graves if you have noone important to you in one.

MT, you remember Nuke was telling us that he was writing a book that would tell us ignorant people about those undeniable 'links/facts' between Sadaam & AQ. I'm waiting for the publication.

Hello MT,

 

Way back in May, I was sent a link to a short story on Dan Simmon's blog. I knew Simmon's from way back as a sci-fi writer, the author of the Hugo award winning "Hyperion" series back when I was reading a lot of sci-fi and cyber-punk in the late 80s early 90s (Asimov, Dick, Heinlein, Herbert, Gibson, and Greg Bear being my favorites at the time).

Anyway, I was reminded of the story again yesterday and it seems like as good a reply as any to your comment:    

EDIT: On third thought there is just too much bad language in the story, along with an essentially hopeless worldview, for me to feel comfortable posting a link - especially one that kids might click on. Those of you adults who are overly interested in finding out what it was can google "Dan Simmons" and "Time Traveller" and then click on the top link.

can I have the link please ?

Don't bother, it's just more of that indiscriminate anti-muslim fearmongering. Religious people of every denomination should really think about 3 words before coming up with that kind of crap: Pot, kettle and black.

Ok I give up, you're right, it's all fear mongering. There is no Al Qaeda, no Muslim brotherhood, no Hamas, no Hezbollah, no Ansar Al-Sunnah, no Jemaah Islamiyah, no Abu Sayyaf, no Ansar al-Islam, no Taliban, no Riyadus Salihiin, no Lashkar-e-Toiba, no Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, no East Turkistan Liberation Organization, no Mujahideen Islam Pattani, no Kampulan Mujahedin, no bombing of thw WTC in 1993, no USS Cole, no Delhi bombings, no London bombings, no Madrid Bombings, no Beslan School Massacre, no Sharm-El-Sheikh bombing, no Bali Nightclub bombings, no Embassy bombings, no Phillipine or London Airliner plot, and above all, NO 9/11 ATTACK. There is nor has there ever been a Jihad, Islam is the religion of peace.

The real threat is Christian fanatics like the Amish, who have been hiding in Lancaster county for the last 300 years waiting for the signal to begin operations. Be on the look out for horse-and-buggy-bombs.

Just FYI, the article from the blog in question was not written by a "religious person" it was written by an irreligious award winning Sci-Fi author who lives in the boonies is clearly no fan of the "right-wing" but is bright enough to see the long term threat posed by the ongoing Islamic Jihad.

Also, while I am mightily tired of the "you're all the same" answer whenever a Christian discusses Islamic Jihad, I'm willing if you wish to enter into the comparison discussion once again. You should begin by indicating how it was that Jesus founded the Christian faith by launching a religious war against his religious enemies, ordered assassinations, told people they would go to heaven if they killed the enemies of Christianity, took wives from the widows of enemies whom he had ordered killed. Then you can explain how the Crusades, which spanned a little under 200 years beginning in the 11th century, and were launched in response to the Byzantine Emperor's call for help after the Seljuk Turks (who did eventually conquer the Byzantines) began gobbling up Byzantine dominions in the East including but not limited to Jerusalem, are the equivalent of the modern Islamic Jihad and the movement to establish a worldwide Caliphate following Sharia law via terrorism, murder, and intimidation.

PS: Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I responded to Libertarians or Democrats online here by saying "all political parties are equally evil because fascism is clearly a totalitarian movement that refuses to coexist with any other political movement and has directly caused the death of millions."

Yah, we all have you confused with that other guy, OttoJespersen.

Sorry Arlo, can't do it, even the introduction of the smallest amount of blood into my Caffeine stream might cause me to crash and have to sleep for several months at this point.

I wish I could discuss this at greater length, but the voices are telling me to go and get more Espresso.
