1. i have told my fundie christian friends, once in chapel
how cowardly that makes us, to take our battle to an innocent country to kill their people, their children because we are so afraid. not a good christian at all. they are a bit in shock with that one.

2. Yeah, the 3000 innocents killed 9-11 really WANT a hundred thousand more
innocent Iraqis to be killed instead of the Saudi terrorists and their financiers in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

4. It's total horseshit. Why then didn't we attack Russia?
Why don't we attack China, Pakistan, Syria, North Korea, there's no end or logic to that fucking line.

5. I recall hearing that line of 'reasoning' during the Viet Nam war.
Only then it was communists instead of terrorists. Made about as much sense then as it does now, imo.
