"Large majority"?
An unspeakable act against America, so cruel, so calculated and so
utterly merciless that surely the world could agree on one thing -
nobody deserved that fate.
Except the Iraqis, of course.
Surely there could be a consensus: The
American victims were truly innocent, the perpetrators truly evil.
Well, no. America is not "totally innocent". The US has been
supporting an oppressive dictatorship in Saudi Arabia, which is
partly why almost all the attackers were from that country. The US
supports the oppression of Palestinians by Israel. The US supports
the dictatorship in Pakistan.
But to the world's eternal shame, 9/11 is increasingly seen as
America's punishment.
How about that.
Incredibly, anti-Americanism has increased over
the last year and I have witnessed this by the negative posts on this
NG and others.
And for that you must give thanks to Bush. By invading Iraq, killing
tens of thousands of people, and destroying the Iraqi government the
US has earned the enmity of many Muslims.
There has always been a simmering resentment against the USA;
Well, there was the US-funded terrorism in C. America 20 years ago.
too
loud, too rich, too full of themselves, and so much happier than
other countries-- it has become a damn epidemic.
The US has a long history of supporting stable dictatorships instead
of promoting democracy.
A little over half a century ago, around half a million Americans
died for others freedoms, as well as their own. Have we forgotten so
soon?
The Nazis started invading countries using flimsy excuses in order to
expand control. Now the US is invading countries using flimsy
excuses in order to expand control.
soon? And exactly a year ago, thousands of ordinary men, women and
children -- not just Americans, but from dozens of countries -- were
butchered by a small group of religious fanatics. Are we so quick to
betray those?
And how many innocent people do you want to kill before your lust for
vengeance is sated?

The truth is that America has behaved with enormous restraint since
September 11.
By only killing 30,000 people?
Remember ... remember ... remember ... the gut-wrenching tapes of
weeping men phoning their wives to say, "I love you," before they
were burned alive.
To you only Americans are people.
[...]
AMERICA could have turned a large chunk of the world into a parking
lot. That it didn't is a sign of great strength. Some American voices
are already being raised against attacking Iraq -- that's what a
democracy is for.
What evil insanity takes pride in ONLY killing 30,000 people?!?
Cite your proof for that inflated number, horsefucker.
Ray, like most other liberals, is only capable of believing lies.
I'd say that's incorrect - he's shown no intention or likelihood of
believing what you write, after all.
Which only goes to prove my point.
Were you trying even harder to get everybody to believe that you can't
be trusted, then? That's the net effect, after all.

Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of,
the lack of evidence.
