I must again respectfully disagree. It is. Al-Queda says it is. That is why they hate the US, Christians and Jews.
I used to feel like you, really. But you have to listen to what they say and what their reason is behind it to understand.
Your have taken my quote out of context, one if u read down to anouther one of my posts saying u candt just brandish somone a terrorist because they are muslim. ok

Is anyone surprised that this would happen? Really, now. After Shock & Awe, Iraqi occupation, and these humiliating sex torture photos broadcast all over the Arab world, is anyone surprised? Although sad, I certainly wasn't.

I guess WWIII is about to start now. This would've never happened if we NEVER went into Iraq.

Someone said in another thread that this would happen.
That person was right.
Before the whole abuse issue came out they only had a Jihad... Now the terrorists can pin everything on the abuse of Iraqis in a US run prison.
That is why I was so angry, and shamed by it all, As I said in another thread.. "we will pay for this shame in every possible way" and "In time we will be attacked again but this time there will be many in the middle east and most of the world who will say "they had it coming" or they got what they deserved"
No one really thought about the impact of these events and now with the killing of this american in avery public way.. I am sure we can only expect more. and worse it will bring us even more terrorist attacks in the future.
They brought us down to their level, and now they are going to exploit it.
What a sad week this has been and may god be with the family of this young man.
War is hell.. that is the theme here in so many threads.. I will admit I am starting to believe that and I believe the evil of war is infecting too many.
I wish we had the problems we had on 9/10/01 and somehow we could have missed this war all together.
But they call me a dreamer.

The US is still technically a baby in terms of age as a country, and sometimes acts like one. No doubt the baby is really going to spit out its dummy now and kick and scream until it gets what it wants.

Sorry to disagree, but if we had never gone into Iraq, Al Queda would have concentrated their efforts in Afganistan and Pakistan. This has little to do with Iraq. This has EVERYTHING to do with the war on terror.
Those of you that think the abuse pics are causing these things to happen are wrong, IMHO. The abuse pics are giving them new reasons to read off on their little papers while they continue to do the same thing - assassinate americans.
Anyone remember Mr. Pearl? Why was he assassinated? It wasn't because of the abuse issue, I'll tell you that much...

No more ok? No more Al Queda. No more WMDs. No more yellowcake. No more lies. I'm tired of it. Doesn't this video tell you that we have to stop lying to each other now? We are not liberators. We are occupiers. We are not there to free Iraqis. We are there for the oil. Do a freed people do this? Do you treat a freed people like we did in the Iraqi prisons?
Let's stop the lying to ourselves, ok?
