If we could get Congress to declare Al-Qaeda a nation, then, Congress could claim it has no right to exist - Al-Qaeda, that is!
As a nation (with no right to exist), Congress could then declare war on it, and all kidnapped Al-Qaeda enemy combatants could be considered soldiers, and then we could use ordinary procedures to question, convict or kill them.
Seriously you are proposing that and ideology can be declared a nation?? A you stupid or really uninformed? Why don't you try a little reading before you submit such drivel.

Where do you people come up with this nonsense?
What you are suggesting will have the exact opposite affect than the one you are fantasizing! If the Congress recognizes some make-believe nation of al Qaeda and then goes on to declare war against it, its combatants become covered by the Geneva Convention! YOU CAN NOT INTERROGATE PRISONERS OF WAR much less convict them or kill them!!!

God help us!
"You people" - I like that, I was feeling so all alone.
No, I think it's more beneficial for all parties involved for Al-Qaeda to remain classified as the brainless, spineless subhuman p.o.s. that they are. Trust me on this.

Israel is NOT a philosophy.
Judaism is a religion.
Really, you could even look it up.
Smoke and mirrors again, ergo?
BTW, France, the US & England were wrong, IMO.
They made a grave error after the atrocities of WWII and the holocaust by foisting Israel on the Middle East.
It was not their place, nor was it their right.

Alright Miss Interpol, I can see how you would find it objectionable to form the CIA into a nation of its own, while being a creation of an existing nation.
