The heart of the conflict is between those to whom personal liberty is important, and those to whom liberty is not only inconsequential, but to whom personal liberty is a deadly threat.
Unless it's the liberty to indulge in licentiousness. If you want further proof of the culture war, check out this piece by John ("Dirty Harry") Nolte at Pajamas Media about a disturbing trend in Hollywood to normalize sex with children.
Is it the left's all-consuming hatred of the other side that drives them to sympathize with pedophiles (and terrorists)? In any case, it's crap like this that makes me wonder if violent conflict is inevitable -- and not the worst thing that could happen.
You go to war with the army you have. Whether it was right or wrong, we invaded their country. What did you expect?
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
How many suicide bombers have blown up other Iraqis? How often have they targeted children? How many have been mentally impaired? How many have been forced into it by promises of payment or threats to their families? How many are from outside Iraq?
There's an ideology behind suicide bombers, perlhaqr, but it's not "defending the nation."
I was in Cambodia, saw huge piles of human skulls. I took photos of this savagery and stored the prints for 25 years before looking at them again.
During a "conversation" with an American liberal I told him of my personal account in Cambodia and he told me Pol Pot was a "freedom fighter". So, that means butchering and desecrating humans is quite fine with the American liberal?
Ok Mr. liberal. Read this book: 'The Arms of Krupp' by William Manchester. If you can read the entire book and have the same belief dogma you presently lean toward, Satan is alive and well within your being.
Freedom fighters, American leftist definition--------
Yes I met a kool aid drinker who 'informed' me, that Pol Pot amongst other mad dogs was a Freedom Fighter. Pol Pot also by the way stole TONS of gold from Ankor Wat in Cambodia. I would suppose the fool that described Pol Pot as a freedom fighter would also describe Pol Pot as a capitalist---right?

This is the movement that sees suicide bombers as Minute Men

Good point, Sarah.

Terry -- You actually met someone who said Pol Pot was a freedom fighter? Next we find out that Idi Amin had a "refined palate."
