How do you say "haha" in iraqi (whatever the hell language they speak)

gt40, your post sounds perfect, but a "live and let live" policy would only work if EVERYONE IN THE WORLD agreed on it, and that everyone in the world could fight off all evil of temptation... this simply isn't and won't be the case until the end of the earth, but that's another matter. You need to wake up to reality. There exists evil in the world whether you want there to be or not, and this evil MUST be combatted, regardless of whether you consider the evil to be "us" or "them", there will be combat, so deal with it. Harsh reality, but better than blind utopian optimism.

Dude...did you swipe that from a Bush rally speech? Accepting violence as an inevitability is cheap to me and I refuse to do it. Of course, man's nature is to destroy himself, but that doesn't mean at the first sign of a problem you blast it off the face of the earth. What's better...blind optimism or blind killing? Of course there will always be those wanting to do us harm, but in the current political climate I can only fault them so much for that. If we had kept our collective dicks in our pants much of this might not be necessary. Calling it evil doesn't make it any better, either. To you, they're evil. To them, you're evil. Guess who's right. That's it...nobody because there is no such thing as your "reality"...it's all perception. Of course you'll point the finger at them...because they're an easy target for your frustration. First accept all of the mistakes we've made and ask yourself, if put in their positions, if you wouldn't be pretty pissed to.

And Az...I like how you injected "purposely" before "kill innocent people". True. But when we kill innocent people on "accident", does that make it ok? I mean...either way people who shouldn't be dead are dead. When the outcomes are the same the motives rarely matter.
