This is slightly OT due to the Ft.Hood thread being closed to comments. But I need to say it. So pardon my OT. Thank you in advance.
Eggplant“I assume the Iranians have devised some sort of Br’er Rabbit/tar-baby strategy. How do the Iranians benefit by having the Israelis whack them?”
If your country is being run by people who believe that the return of the “13th Imam” can only happen with Armageddon then you have your answer. Remember, to these people dieing is what it is all about. Once you die then all the heavens are opened to you. As long as you die furthering the cause of Allah as taught to you by Mullah Omar.
72. Dr. Sidiqi “Stop killing Moslems around the world and they won’t KILL YOU.”
Well I am sure the innocent Moslems (who haven’t killed any Moslems to be sure) being blown up by Allah’s PBUH Jihadis are just perplexed by your statement.
Let us make things simpler for all concerned. Let us call a truce for 2 years so that the Jihadis may assemble their might and men. Then let us pick a place say the Gobi desert it being a fairly neutral place. Then it will be decided.
But that will never happen. WHY!? you ask. It too is simple. Because those that you place all of your trust and faith in have not one scintilla of a desire to see an end to this conflict. WHY OH WHY!!!? you ask. It unfortunately is even more simple. Because those in whom you place your faith and trust crave the power and control they have acquired from you and those who believe as you do. Quite simply all of the death and destruction that you see around you is wrought from your own beliefs.
Tcobb “5. He will relocate to another country.”
There are many men who will do their level best to see that the country he relocates to is not of this earth…
Now for the topic at hand.
The saying goes. “I fight for GOD and Country.” I would add family or more importantly my progeny. It is my opinion that the average person who follows Islam is just like the average Christian. And as such is just as protected by the Constitution of the U.S. as any other citizen. We cannot afford to judge a man by his unknown intentions. We as a society must operate on the rule of law or suffer the consequences of being ruled over by a strongman. I will not prejudge any man be he Christian, Muslim, Deist or any other “religion”. I WILL judge any man by his actions. Major Hasan gave many and explicit indications of impending action. He was purposely moved to save some political superior the angst and possible career killing decision to start separation/UCMJ proceedings. This is NOT a good thing for our military. But as it is a top down systemic problem it can only be repaired at the will and pleasure of the CIC and we all know how that will turn out at this time.
