    WE ARE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION DUE TO THE CONTINUED, UNINTERRUPTED, SUPPORT BY THE US GOVERNMENT; OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL, THE RESULTS OF WHICH EVEN AFFECT THESE FOUR MEN

    FIRST OUR FAILED MID-EAST POLICY HAS CAUSED US TO CONFUSE THE VICTIM WITH THE VILLAIN & AGGRAVATE THE ARAB MIDDLE EAST, AND NOW THE ENTIRE ISLAMIC WORLD.

    -WHAT IN THE WORLD EVER MADE BUSH, RUMSFELD, CHENEY, ETC THINK THEY COULD PURSUE SUCH A WAR.
    -DID THEY THINK THEY UNDERSTOOD ISLAM ? HOW ?
    ISLAM IS A WAY OF LIFE FOR ITS’ WORSHIPERS
    (I’M A CHRISTIAN AND EVEN I UNDERSTAND THAT)

    THERE ARE STILL UNREAD TRANSCRIPTS DATED 9-10-2001 LYING ON INTELLIGENCE DESKS IN THE PENTAGON !
    SO WHAT INTELLIGENCE COULD WE HAVE HAD WHICH ENCOURAGED US TO ATTACK?
    WMD ?
    I THINK NOT
    OIL ?
    WELL..THE STORY GOES THAT THE NAME “OPERATION IRAQI LIBERATION” WAS SCOTCHED, BECAUSE OF IT’S INITIALS !!!

    -SO THEN WHY ARE OUR GALLANT MEN & WOMEN FIGHTING AND DYING IN IRAQ,
    IS IT TO PROTECT US? YES, OF COURSE AND WE ARE BLESSED FOR THAT

    -BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE OUR WAR TO FIGHT !
    IT’S ISRAELS’ WAR WE’RE FIGHTING!!!!
    -SHE’S THE ONE WHICH HAS FOMENTED THIS DEGREE OF HATE SINCE 1948, AND NOW IT’S EXPLODING ALL OVER THE WORLD
    =ARE THE ARABS BLAMELESS?
    NO!
    AND THEY SHOULD NOT WANT TO “DRIVE ISRAEL TO THE SEA”..-BECAUSE SIMPLY IT CANNOT AND WILL NOT HAPPEN
    -BUT DESPITE HER CONQUEST, SEIZURE AND BLOODY OCCUPATION OF ARAB LAND
    ISRAEL (INCREDIBLY) HAS BEEN DECLARED AN ACTUAL ALLY OF OUR COUNTRY BY ACT OF CONGRESS !!
    WHY YOU ASK ?
    AND HOW DID THAT HAPPEN ???

    BECAUSE ISRAEL HAS BEEN ABLE TO (AHEM)$UCCE$$FULLY “CAMPAIGN WITH US SENATORS OVER DECADES TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS ..-AND THAT INCLUDES EVERY PRESIDENT..-STARTING WITH TRUMAN WHO SAID HE’D RECOGNIZED THE ESTABLISMENT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL BECAUSE “I GOT A HELL OF A LOT OF JEWS VOTING FOR ME BUT FEW ARABS ”
    REMEMBER “CAHONES” ?
    -SHE HOLDS ALL THE TERRITORIES, SHE HAS ALL THE AIRCRAFT, TANKS AND WAR MATERIEL SHE WANTS AND CAN DO ANYTHING SHE WANTS WHENEVER SHE WANTS INCLUDING THE BEARISH, BRUTAL, BLOODY INVASION OF LEBANON LAST JULY

    -DON’T WORRY, YOU’RE PAYING FOR IT !
    SHE RECEIVES OVER $6 BIL GRANTS (FREE MONEY) ANNUALLY FROM THE US TAXPAYERS
    ..-THAT’S YOU AND ME.
    THE PALESTINIANS HAVE NONE OF THESE

    -SO WHY SHOULD SHE DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN GIVE LIP SERVICE ABOUT WITHDRAWAL FROM PALESTIAN TERRITORY & PEACE?

    THE SAME US CONGRESS WHICH PANDERS TO US ABOUT A DEMOCRATIC ISRAEL HAS BEEN BOUGHT-OUT BY THE ISRAEL INFLUENCE CROWD

    ISRAEL IS, IN FACT, A THEOCRATIC STATE. (GO AHEAD, GRAB YOUR DICTIONARY )
    WHERE IF YOU ARE NOT JEWISH YOU VERY GENUINELY ARE A SECOND-CLASS CITIZEN
    USING ACTUAL NAZI-LIKE METHODS, SUCH AS IDENTIFICATION-MARKS ON ARAB-OWNED BUSINESSES, ARREST, IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT CHARGE OR TRIAL, HOME DESTRUCTION, LAND USURPATION, TORTURE, ETC

    -AND DON’T FORGET ISRAELS’ LATEST TOY..HER PROTECTION BARRIER… “BERLIN WALL”..SURE TO WARM THE HEARTS OF THE VERY PEOPLE SHE HAS UNDER OCCUPATION AND DECLARES SHE WISHES TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH
    ISRAEL IS NOT THROUGH SEIZING TERRITORY, AND ALL OF THE ABOVE

    -SO..IS IT ANY WONDER THAT RAT OBL WAS ABLE TO STIR UP THE ARAB & ISLAMIC WORLD ?
    THIS WAS HIS CAUSE CELEBRE AND WE; THE USA, BUILT THE DAMN PLATFORM HE STANDS ON !!
    INCREDIBLE!

    WHAT NEXT ?

    TAKE AWAY THE REASON THE ARABS & MILITANTS HAVE TO HATE US.

    COMPELL ISRAEL THROUGH PRESIDENTIAL AND CONGRESSIONAL MANDATES & DEADLINES TO RETURN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES (INSTEAD OF JUST TALKING ABOUT IT) AND MAKE MONETARY SETTLEMENT TO ALL AGRIEVED VICTIMS

    -FAT CHANCE YOU SAY, THE CONGRESS WILL NEVER HAVE THE CAHONES OR COURAGE TO STAND-UP TO THE ISRAEL LOBBY?

    THEN SADLY, WE’RE SURE TO BE IN FOR MORE OF WHAT WE’VE SUFFERED THROUGH, WITH MORE ENEMIES ON OUR NECK, WHILE ISRAEL COMES OUT SMELLING LIKE A ROSE!
    -GOD BLESS AMERICA!

    Given all that’s gone on with the terrorism situation I am – and I think justifiably so – skeptical of where and to whom some of that judgement money may have gone or will go. I have heard through the news where groups of ‘arab americans’ want their own religious laws to apply and not our civil laws. So I’m a bit skeptical here – where it’s financially beneficial our laws apply – but when it’s not convenient they want theirs to apply. They decry our culture but will take what it offers them because their own can’t provide it. I’m sorry – but historically and currently the Arabs have been behind the terrorism and I have yet to hear any truly vocal protestations from any Arab group or community condemning the terrorists action and calling for an end to the terrorism, either here or overseas. Silence can be taken for agreement and the Arab world at large seems to be agreeing with terrorism and the downfall of the US – whom they truly seem to hate.

    This is what happens when small minded people associated a few scoundrels actuvutues with an entire race of people. I hope all good readers of this website will pledge to treat their Arab American brothers with equal justice and compassion.

    If, as they claim, they were unfairly treated then they deserve their day in court. It doesn’t matter where they are from or their religious or ethnic background, our country needs to hold the high ground and enforce high standards. After all, we are the USA!

    I hope that this discussion does not become a Islam bashing excercise we saw last week on another article.

    Let’s stick to the issue at hand.

    Americans will “treat their Arab American brothers with equal justice and compassion” when Arab Americans call upon their own brothers AND SISTERS to denounce the hateful, murderous actions of Arabs around the world.

    Ali: With all due respect, Arabs/Muslims need to EARN trust and respect from Americans, not demand it. It’s a sad situation that Americans are suspicious of Arabs/Muslims, but quite frankly, the only face of terrorism we know is that of Arabs/Muslims. It only takes a few to create a sterotype, but when their actions involve murderous activities, we’ll take no chances. It would nice to see Arab/Muslims take an active role in trying to address the problems their own countrymen have created for them. What have Arabs/Muslims done to pressure Arab/Muslim terrorists? We know terrorists can infiltrate the American society and look “normal”. How do you propose we tell the difference between them, and you? And while we’re on the subject, it might help if Arabs/Muslims tried to assimilate into the American culture. If you left your “old country” because you wanted a better life, you need to become an American and not just in name. I worry about people who put the name of their old country in front of the word American. You call yourself an Arab American. Why aren’t you an American Arab. My ancestors came here from Hungary. You don’t hear us calling ourselves Hungarian Americans. We cherish our customs but have adopted our new country, it’s language, and its dress. Too many people come here with no interest in assimilating. They speak their native language instead of embracing the Kings English. They dress like they still live in the old country. They colonize together. And you wonder why Americans are suspicious? We’re not small minded. But there’s no educational value of being naive.

    Hey, how about if we allow Muslims to build as many mosques here as Saudi Arabia allows churches to be built? Oh sorry, that would mean that there could be no mosques at all. (Would that be so bad though?)

    I hope they were NOT treated unfairly. It would be idiotic if FedEx did discriminate against them because dollars do not discriminate and I assume FedEx is in business to make money.

    With that said, I’m skeptical too. Could this be our enemy using our legal system against us? That is a tactic that is described in the al-queda terrorists handbook.

    Let’s try to withhold judgment and see how the facts shakeout.

    Remember the “flying imams,” who made a terror probe of an airliner that raised the suspiscions of passengers who, because they complained about their audacious behavior, could soon be sued. The Dems just stipped from a bill a provision that would grant immunity to passengers who report suspiscious behavior. This of course, in spite of the repeated encouragements given to waiting passengers to “report any suspiscious behavior.”

    The goal is to make people afraid to report suspiscious behavior in order to weaken us and make terrorist attacks more likely to succeed. And don’t forget, this was done my Muslim religious leaders.

    Some pit bulls are perfectly great dogs, in fact there too that is the majority, but I still won’t walk up to one and pet it. I don’t think that is small minded, I prefer to think of it as risk management. (avoidance)
