40 of the 41 current worldwide conflicts involve MUSLIMS!!!! It speaks for itself.

They hate anything and everything not Muslim. PERIOD!

They are the problem! Until they learn to live side by side with the rest of the world, this crap will go on and on and on.

I find it funny how paranoid some Americans are of terrorism as if it was a daily threat. Meanwhile roughly 18,000 or so Americans are murdered every year in the US by other Americans.Sorry but i'm more concerned by being murdered by a fellow American than I am by some terrorist living in a foreign country. The right wing establishment has indoctrinated you well. Fear! Fear! and more fear!

And i am sure statistics will show many more muslims are killed by US actions in their country but hey...hopefully events might turn out a little better now that the previous regime is gone. At least the new administration is prepared to talk and listen first instead of going in gung ho

And why is it always someone in the Carolinas that talks about how we're gonna get "smacked"? Here in NYC we go about living our lives. And in places the terrorists probably don't even know about, people are hiding in their closets and peeing in their pants.

Nobody is coming to get you. Your little town will continue to be very boring and very safe for generations to come. You can stop worrying.
Boring? Hahaha...maybe you NYers should stop coming to our little "boring" city, then. We'd love to see you go back up to your hell-hole. And you should probably read up a little bit before going straight into "over the top, elitist, self-absorbed yankee" mode.

Charlotte was the #2 banking capital. Eastern NC has the highest concentration of military bases.

What are you talking about? I've never been to your town. If I ever have trouble falling asleep I will come and visit Charlotte. That should do the trick! Until then, you're telling me to leave a place I've never been to and to go back to a place I've never left. That makes a lot of sense. Why don't you go brush your tooth?

I'm still searching the transcript for the word "appeasement." Hmm, I'm not seeing it. My eyesight must be failing.

No, basically Clinton did quite a lot. Where do you get your news?
"I worked hard to try to kill him. I authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him. We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since. And if I were still president, we'd have more than 20,000 troops there trying to kill him."

"I think it's very interesting that all the conservative Republicans, who now say I didn't do enough, claimed that I was too obsessed with bin Laden. All of President Bush's neo-cons thought I was too obsessed with bin Laden. They had no meetings on bin Laden for nine months after I left office. All the right-wingers who now say I didn't do enough said I did too much — same people."

You robots keep repeating what you hear on the tv--"we're in a mess" "Bush's administration was a failure" etc...

If constipated-faced Diane Sawyer tells you you're in a mess, poof, you're in a mess! I don't see dealerships slashing car prices. I saw an old ford the other day for $5,000. My newer, more loaded car wouldn't sell for that. Home sellers are desperate? Nope, they are not. Think about it--if houses are taking longer to sell, it means the sellers aren't giving away their homes like hot potatoes--get real buyers! Not all sellers are in foreclosure. And everybody's out of a job? Guess what, I'm not, but I was five years ago. I didn't blame the economy or Bush for what my boss did. I applied like crazy and got a much better job. If you're really in a mess, pray, and DO something about it--get off your lazy tush and don't wait for someone to come along and fix it for you.

Problem is they "are" living here not just in a "far away" place!
Remember some of the 9/11 terrorists?
