Be warned before you open this video that it is very graphic. It shows three prisoners of Islamofascists bound and being burned alive.

These are the people we are fighting against and Cindy Sheehan is giving aid and comfort to.

Listen to what they are saying, Allahuakbar, Allahuakbar. Does that sound like something conservative Christians would say?

No, but all it tells me is that they're Islamic. For all I know these guys could be Kurds burning a few Turks. These aren't necessarily people we are "fighting against" is all I'm saying. They could be our "allies". Before I decide they're my enemy, I'd want a little more specific information. For what it's worth, their behavior is appalling, whoever they are.

perhaps this another bushism stab at the "War on Terror"...

I hesitated to post this... if the mods decide to remove it, I understand completely.

This is probably the most vile thing I have ever seen (I coached ball to kids this age during the time when both my son and daughter played.... I cannot imagine this)

This is a 12 year old Taliban member doing the unthinkable. This video is probably the worst thing I have ever seen. DO NOT WATCH THIS if you have a weak stomach or are easily made ill.

I'll be happy to edit/pull the link... although any kid, with any google skills and knowledge of the internet can probably watch this (and even more perverted stuff). I tried to keep an eye on my children on the 'net... but I'm afraid I'm in the minority compared to many now.

OK.. I almost puked..
that was very disturbing..give me a minute or two..

Wow.. I can't say I've had a stronger reaction to video since the soldiers started coming back from Iraq with limbs missing and this REALLY surpasses that visual...oh man..phew..


Years ago I watched reports and vids of hostages taken during our initial occupation.. none quite as graphic..
I posted on my blog an eye for an eye (http://opinionsandreasons.blogspot.com/2004/11/what-can-you-do-with-open-can-of-worms.html) reaction to them..
"It is common procedure not to negotiate w/kidnappers but what if the next time they request we release some of their terrorist comrades we do so. Over a mosque or public arena from a chopper at about 1000 feet. Let them embrace Allah or whatever new world order they seek. The next time they behead a hostage, we behead a dozen.
Seriously we need a new strategy.. "

And this is a response from 2004.. I've mellowed some but I have no response to watching a 12 year old cutting off a mans head like he was gutting a deer.

How about "if we stop bombing them, they'll stop hating us"...or "if we stop overthrowing their governments so we can install one that will see things our way they'll stop hating us".

We know Iraq poses a threat to us, to the rest of the world. Why do we sit here and pretend we are protected? That is exactly what happened with al-Qaeda and 9/11. With Iraq, though, the threat is on a much larger scale. Should we sit back, be little children that sit in fear and just wait?

Fair enough, but I'd wager that if we stop using our military and start using our brains, and start relying on our compassion instead of our fear and our greed to direct our foreign policy, we stand to benefit far more than if we continue to throw our weight around. Sedan pointed out quite humorously that we wouldn't condone someone killing people in their neighborhood simply out of fear of some future threat, yet we somehow justify invading whole countries simply because we believe they might harm us in the future. We spend as much on our military as the rest of the world does on theirs in total dollars. What are we afraid of?

Maybe I spoke globally when I should've been speaking locally or regionally.

Take a walk into the very worst neighborhood in your town or city.
Take that walk at midnight, and walk with confidence because surely everyone who resides there will naturally understand that you mean them no harm. (We are, after all, citizens of the world, and they will of course understand that you feel their pain and that you wish them only the best.)

Later on, when you wake up in the Emergency Room (if you wake up in the Emergency Room), and your head is busted open, you've got gunshot wounds in your chest, and your wallet has been lifted, then maybe you will get what I intended to articulate;

'if we only treat these people with kindness and throw money at them, they'll stop hating us'?
Bullshit. Some people will never possess the required number of brain cells to stop hating, and to stop committing random acts of violence.

Or worse yet, fall into the mindset that stupid, low-rent sheep-like people killing other people is a temporary political state, and therefore the fault of any one nation, party, or President?
Poverty, gang violence, petty crimes, grand theft auto, and ethnic cleansing aren't a curable disease, they are a byproduct of low intellect and even lower valuation of human life.

Violence and murder are timeless facts of life, and there's no amount of spin-doctoring thats going to change that.
Prove me wrong.

Celebrate those around you who would do you no harm.
Embrace those who love you and who have your best interests in mind.
But be ever on-guard against those who would just as soon behead you as look at you.
This is true in Bagdhad just as it is true in Wisconsin, Texas, California, Central America, or Siberia.

Stupid is as stupid does. (And by stupid, I mean radical-religiously-inspired violence. Random acts of violence. Violence perpetrated by those who lack the intellect and/or moral compass to know better. Etc, etc.)
And no President, political party, or military presence will ever change that sublime, simple truth.

I've said numerous times that Jesus is not the son of God. Well, maybe not explicitly, but one would hope that one could infer that. Hell, I'll send Iran a signed, notarized letter saying that Jesus is not the son of God. I'll even toss in my disapproval of sending aid to Israel. The rest of it, not so much.

It is fine if you don't believe Jesus is the Son of God. It is fine if the Muslems don't believe it. What is not fine is their wanting to force others to believe it. What is not fine is their killing people who have left the Muslem faith because they now believe Jesus is the Son of God. What is not fine is their killing Jews, another group that doesn't believe Jesus is the Son of God because they, they Jews, don't believe Mohammad was Allah's prophet.

Well, perhaps Borg was insulted by something else, but for me it's the suggestion that if you say your not happy with the way our government deals with terrorists, someone invariably says something like "Would you rather sit in a circle with them and sing Kumbaya?" It's an insulting argument, especially since no one has suggested that as a possible solution to the problem.

I'm not naive Sparky, and neither is Borg. I think we both realize that some threats require prompt and decisive military action. One such case would be after 9/11 with our invasion of Afghanistan. It was the appropriate response to a "government" that was harboring Al-Quaida. Our invasion of Iraq is a different matter entirely, IMO. In that instance, we attacked a country simply because we thought they might present a threat to us in the future, not because they presented a clear and present danger. IMO, this is completely unjustified, and serves to make the US look like a bully, and nobody likes a bully.

Truth be told, I wasn't expressing an opinion about our Government's response to anything.

I was offering some cautionary advice regarding the sentiment that 'all humans are basically good, and if we are just nice to them, they'll be nice to us back'. In my opinion, most humans are nice and reasonable, and there are in fact humans who will be led to crime (and or violence) out of desperation and poverty.

The caution that I offered though was to be on guard against the other class of violent, murderous scumbags. (And I am talking about the gang-bangers in L.A. & Kansas City in the same breath I am talking about the radical Muslim extremists who would rather cut your head off than try to reason with you.)
There are some humans who are just low-rent, murderous, and violent by nature.

Indeed, and these are individuals, or in some cases, small groups of individuals. Using the full force of our military to invade a country, destroy the government and infrastructure, to eliminate what is in effect a violent street gang is overkill in the extreme. You wouldn't use a sledgehammer to kill a fly, and our military seems to be our sledgehammer of choice when attempting to deal with "terrorism".

I have seen the video and I think seeing it serves a valid purpose.

I guess it follows then that it would **serve a valid purpose** to have tit for tat.

IOW, by that reckoning it would presumably serve a valid purpose for the people in Iraq to be shown the video (to name but one occurrence among hundreds) where American planes --sent there by the extreme Rightwing faction that you endlessly champion and make excuses for-- bombed a wedding party and killed numerous innocent people. Right?

I assure you; the people at that wedding party are every bit as dead as anyone in the video you're touting. And so are -by various estimates- from 300,000 to a 750,000 other Iraqis

Whenever we start to forget what type people we are fighting we should view videos like this to jog our memories.

Gee......interesting notion.

I have to ask then; do you also think that whenever the people in Iraq who oppose the U.S, "start to forget" the type of callous and greedy American warmongers they are fighting and should they begin to forget why they are dying to try and end the occupation of their country, should THEY have THEIR memories jogged by being reminded of the million or more innocent Iraqis who've been killed or displaced strictly because America decided to put in place sanctions against their country and to wage an illegal and immoral war against their country? Hmmmmmm?

Their mores, customs and standards are very different from ours and if they win rather than us that is the type thing we might be subjected to.

""the type thing we might be subjected to""..........?!?!?

LOL.

When the day comes that they *win* in Iraq --which will come about when America is forced, as it will be some time in the foreseeable future, to turn tail and haul ass out of Iraq-- do you honestly think the supposed "loss" that will signify will have the slightest effect on us here in American?!?!

Do you think that simply because that happens, the "e-ville" Muslims will instantly accomplish having the Muslim religion replace the Christian religion as the dominant superstitious belief here in America?!!?! How is Iraq going to "subject" this country or its people to anything?!?!?

:rolleyes:

There will be no such thing as a "victory" in Iraq, no matter how it plays out.

Exactly. This is what I try to tell people like FT who hate religion and think it does so much bad... That's always how it is: the leaders tell the ignorant populace that "God" wants a war or whatever, when in reality they have political and/or economic reasons in mind. This was certainly true in the Crusades. Even the fighting of the Reformation/Counter-Reformation were more about political rights/power than actual religion. If religion didn't exist, they'd find some other excuse.

Oh, no sir. Not my intention at all.

We have to remember that the extreme Rightwing government in control of the U.S. --that people like Frogger make endless excuses and obfuscations for-- is only *directly responsible* for a portion of those hundreds of thousands of people.

For other countless of thousands of those who've been killed, the government here is only "indirectly" responsible.

I am well aware of the fact that ""That's how it always is"".

That does not, however, make it any more palatable or acceptable to me.

What forever galls me is the fact that the Religious Right faction in this country will look at the religious followers in some other country doing something very unethical or inhuman or immoral or for **political or economic reasons** and have no problem condemning it............yet when the government here ---with the support of the vast majority of said rightwing religious faction-- does it, they turn a blind eye to it.

Which Muslem countries have no problem with our aid to Israel program?
Which Muslem countries have full and equal rights for women?
Which Muslem countries allow full freedom of worship?

While some Muslem countries may be more liberal than others very, very few would meet the above criteria.

I assure you; the people at that wedding party are every bit as dead as anyone in the video you're touting. And so are -by various estimates- from 300,000 to a 750,000 other Iraqis......

I have to ask then; do you also think that whenever the people in Iraq who oppose the U.S, "start to forget" the type of callous and greedy American warmongers they are fighting and should they begin to forget why they are dying to try and end the occupation of their country, should THEY have THEIR memories jogged by being reminded of the million or more innocent Iraqis who've been killed or displaced strictly because America decided to put in place sanctions against their country and to wage an illegal and immoral war against their country?
Where the HELL do you get your "facts"? At first, it's anywhere "from 300,000 (by all widely known and accepted figures, a grossly exaggerated number) to a 750,000", and then it morphs into a "million or more", and NOW, the victims were all "innocent" and we're responsible for every casualty!?!? WTF!? You're crazier than Dop is (by a long shot, pal).

Oh, no sir. Not my intention at all.

We have to remember that the extreme Rightwing government in control of the U.S. --that people like Frogger make endless excuses and obfuscations for-- is only *directly responsible* for a portion of those hundreds of thousands of people.

For other countless of thousands of those who've been killed, the government here is only "indirectly" responsible.

Garsh, that's comforting.
So every time a dissident is decapitated, we're "indirectly" responsible. Got it.

Whatever, whack job. :rolleyes:

This is a question you should ask yourself..
"Millions of Iraqis have been displaced since the beginning of the war."
Current tv.. (http://current.com/items/76342402_the_big_move_part_3)
Go ahead and deny it.. I don't expect you nor frogger to actually look for the truth..
Yes denial is a river in Egypt..
more you say.. show me more..
"The U.N. reports that there are an estimated 4 million (http://www.brusselstribunal.org/humanitarian.htm) displaced Iraqis, and growing by the day, with most of them in Jordan and Syria."

Jim, are you still not reading the thread before you respond? Tsk-tsk.

Uhh, the fact that we weren't even talking about displaced individuals makes your entire point moot, but with that said, ....aww, fuck it, you're not worth the time.

and yes since you dismissed my point I guess that makes it moot.
schooled again..:worship:
but to review at first came the frog with a delusional attempt to discredit Ms Sheehan while tying her efforts to terrorist activities instead of diplomatic efforts through communication. go figure:rolleyes:
then we took a hard left w/op to a taliban boy's training/initiation beheading vid.. which brings us to my 2nd response after which you referenced some bad statistics and I attempted to bring you the info that put you back on the correct path to the truth about killed and displaced Iraqi people.
but hey I could be wrong.. not the first time.. not the last..:comphit:

Just to clarify, I wasn't trying to be "hateful" - I simply recognized that carrying on a conversation with someone who couldn't even follow the premise of my argument was, quite literally, a waste of my time.

Did you not see his response as a classic non sequitur?

While some Muslem countries....

You may have been an *educator*, but you are apparently unaware that there is no such word as *Muslem*.

(since you typed it four times, I think we can rule out a typo as the explanation)

The preferred English spelling is *Muslim*. The variant sometimes (rarely any more) used is *Moslem*...........although many Muslims find the word 'Moslem' offensive.

FYI.

Wow - I knew the variant "Moslem" existed, but I didn't know that many of them found it offensive. In recognition of that alone, I guess I'm gonna have to start using it more often. You know, as one of those pesky first amendment privileges us backwards Westerners are afforded via the constitution; a document that many *moslems* would use to wipe their ass, but whatever - I digress.

Oh, wait, (and to digress even further) I forgot....they don't use paper to wipe their ass; they use their bare left hand. But pork is "dirty".

I don't think it matters to 'em, either way. The point is, they wipe their asses with their bare hands, and needless to say, that's simply unfathomable in my mind. When I first heard that was a common practice, it took a lot to suppress the (bordering on projectile) vomit already in my throat.

How odd that you would accuse Muslims (???) of wanting to 'wipe their ass' with the United States Constitution, when of all people having a low opinion of it and wanting to see it diminished or abrogated, our very own pResident, George W. B*sh, has done far more **wiping of his ass* with it than anyone else on the planet.

I KNEW you'd say that. On that note, how have your rights been cut, FT? Do you honestly see no need to tap the phones of people who call Karachi or Kabul 10 times a day? Your little, "he's dEsTRoYiNg the constitution" diatribes don't hold much water with me.
