So who wants to volunteer to lead the negotiating team for those of you that wishes to try and talk with these people to iron out our differences?

Best to look at home before you start pointing fingers.
There's sickness everywhere.
Not just in the people you hate.

Apples and oranges... that women obviously has mental issues. These people (note the plural) are not driven by the voices in there head so to speak. There is a distinct difference and trying to comapare them is absurb but I certainly could understand how liberal wouldn't understand the difference.

Not apples and oranges.
Once you eradicate the horrors here, then you can look at the horrors elsewhere.

Horror is horror, no matter what shape it takes.

How about the guy whose daughter was abused by wife and lay dying on the floor while he went to sleep?

These stories of torture happen in the US.

The M.O. sounds more like Blackwater than Al Quaeda!

I've always said that it's impossible to reason with Al Queda and the Taliban, that the only way to deal with them is to kill them.

That was supposed to happen at Tora Bora, Afghanistan in Dec 2001 when we had them boxed up in the cave complexes.

Rummy didn't want all that blood on our hands, so the warlord dudes were supposed to do it. We got double-crossed by the warlord rank and file who took cash bribes from those that were trapped and they just walked over the border into Pakistan.

Our 10th Mountain Division was sitting at Kabul Airport but Rummy held them back, preferring the warlords do the dirty work. The 10th Mtn Div would've given anything to get to Tora Bora and annihilate Al Queda and the Taliban, but Rummy the Dummy blew it. The war against Al Queda and the Taliban should've been over 8 years ago.

My suspicion is that these groups are extreme cults, developed for a reason. They exhibit all the characteristics of a mind-controlled society. I watched an interview with a Taliban leader on PBS. He rocked back and forth the entire time which was explained to be a byproduct of their training. Things are drilled into them over and over again until they are not thinking straight. I guess what I'm alluding to is that these groups didn't just grow naturally, they were developed. There's too much sophistication in their control methods to suggest that it just occurred organically. My thought is that someone else is behind this packaged insanity, someone who wants us to paint all Muslims in a bad light. A horrible light as I'm sure this link proves. However, I won't read the OP's link because I'll get sick and it would ruin my weekend.
