Default Re: Any thoughts on whether we could have another Iraq/middle east discussion?

Also, things will never get any better in the middle east until the violent people are dead or imprisoned
Ok, and who are those violent people? How do you tell, or for that matter that, find them? And why are they violent? Is it just because someone told them to be?

And lets separate what it's called terrorism, and guerilla warfare. Where is the line drawn, on all this Iraq thing?

Of course, if you mean it's only power and influence
Of course, not only. But the main factors are those, imo. Thats what's on the background noise, not the religious nature one might see on the tube.
People like, i'd venture want, to have a purpose, and to belive, and that's what's provided. Else is cultural and educational.

Besides, if you have followed the Iran situation, it's a dick size talk, they're nowhere near to nukes, but use this as leverage internally as Iran's president internal approval had been dropping the last year, not anymore. All this to seem like the big heros against the opressors of the middle east, and of course, Bush does the same, trying to get away from the bad press of Iraq. Influence. What for? Keeping power.
