a friend of mine was travelling through the middle east this summer. She was teaching in Jordan. Apparently when she was leaving Israel they didnt stamp her passport as it would make it hard for her to get around elsewhere - so high is the hatred for Israel in the arab world. Difficult and dangerous place.....

Bush gave terrorism more motivation and more fuel for their fire than ever before
mofukka did everything worse
afghanistan was promised a rebuild and more money and what did they get. nada it's worse and the talibans are slowly but surely comin' back
same with iraq shit is worse than before, they can't handle shit there
they didn't catch bin laden nore saddam
fighting terrorism?
yeah right it's like trying to knock out the wind
the us media got all emotional and mushy after 911 because they got knocked the fuck out and lost the critic in em you gotta have to be a true journalist but they're so fucking biased now they're just sad fucking comedians
and whoa the glorious patriotic act, cia/fbi can storm your crib with no warrant now and put your shit upside down and you can't do shit about it
in the states everybody is a suspect

over here in Ireland we have a long history of terroism. I have lived my whole life with the processes of terrorism. I has given me time to think about it and realise what causes it and how it works.
The IRA have very very very little popular support but if Britain had continued as they started or acted like the US is acting now that would be so very different. Its only after decades of violence and trouble that we are seeing the tentative steps towards peaceful consensus. That is on the political front but in Northern Ireland on the ground the hatred is still very much alive.
The reason I am saying this is because the way the Bush administration thinks it can stamp out terroism fills me with fear. It fills me with fear for the American people, the people of the Middle East and the world as a whole. As i have said before terrorism is reactionary and Osama Bin Laden is reacting to something he sees as a threat not that he just decided to attack for no reason.
The reasons for terrorism in Ireland were more clear. It was a direct colonial occupation but the imperialist drive of the US is more complicated and is affecting more countries worldwide. The actions that the Bush administration are simply going to increase the hatred towards the US and it will lead to more attacks.
I have to repeat again and again that im not US bashing its just a difficult and important time and it will affect us all.

This isn't a war against terrorism, if it were we'd be fighting Saudi Arabia. This a Middleast bumrush to establish US power. Saudis are funding terrorist groups out of fear that OPEC will be broken up and they'll be out some serious cash.

yes well said lowimpakt
i too fear Bush's cowboy approach. it doesn't matter how many weapons you have , you will never be able to defeat hatred only by means of force
so what's happened since 9-11 - Bush declared an Axis of evil and now 2 out of the 3 original countries are building up nuclear arms - how are things getting better?

Its all in the neocon master plan and all of you fuckers just keep regurgitating the same old shit. Of course the Neocons want to cause unrest in the middle east so that they can establish a stronger foothold, x-ing out the Saudis. Is it about Oil? Not directly, it is about keeping the US dollar as the dominant currency used around the world.
If you think that the US or your country gives a rat's ass about any of the citizens of any of these other countries, you are naive.
I dont agree with these policies, it is sad but true.
