Very relevant quote in your sig.

Well I'm sorry to say this country is already invaded and the infiltration has been going on for a while now only by peaceful means.
I am truly tired of listening to some ignorant lazy people in this country always blaming the other guy. Maybe we need to look at ourselves and realize WE THE PEOPLE sit back and let all this happen because we are too busy playing video games, watching TV, or eating food.
Being in Iraq really is what opened my eyes 6 years ago, when you see the conditions that people live in and have been for years. I once gave a kid $10 and asked him to get me something to eat. A few minutes later he came back with his mom carrying a huge amount of food and man was it great, he truly appreciated that money for his family as it was a lot to them. We used to always get kids running up asking "Mr Mr, give me give me" but one time there was another kid just sitting there all shy. I walked up to him and offered him all kinds of things even an extra pair of sunglasses and all he wanted was a bottle of clean water.
Now I sit here at home and listen to my step-son all the time saying, "I hate my life". This is all because I won't buy him the new video game he wants or this kid has that and I don't. I try and explain to him how truly fortunate we are to live in USA having what we do. He will just sit there with this dead stare in his eye and I know his spoiled little behind is thinking I wish he would just shut up cuz I don't want to hear it.
He is what is really wrong with USA today, nobody cares about the other guy anymore, let alone someone else in another country that can't afford to buy anything for their family to eat. We are just too complacent and keep saying it's none of our business and that will never happen here.
I have news for you it is happening here and it's going to get very bad here real soon. Unless you can wake up your friends, neighbors, and towns then it's all lost already. Seriously sitting here talking about what's wrong accomplishes nothing. I have been talking to a lot of people about what I see and know is wrong and most look at me and laugh. When things do get worse at least I tried to tell people and well I know I'm prepared!

Which ones do we hunt down? Tit for tat never solves anything, in fact it usually makes matters worse.Who attacked who's country first? If this illegal war on terrorism wasn't started by the Americans in the first place then there wouldn't be a problem at all now would there?

He did do it, a couple of weeks ago, with very little fanfare or coverage.
Thank you... I completely missed it. Or maybe it was only reported locally....
i haven't found a link on it yet?
I guess if this is the reason all the Eye for an eye folks should just start burning Korans on youtube that should get things going over there.edit on 4/1/2011 by -W1LL because: sarcasm!

Sky News are saying that he only attended a book burning meeting, he didn't physically burn the books himself, he was only present at the time in early March.

ok. so they premeditated killing civilians instead of this just being a fit of rage. that makes it WORSE.
out of the 1.5 billion I didn't hear any of them condemning this atrocity. not a one. so read your own post again, if you were trying to make a point it backfired.
i think there is a good justification for being scared of a religion who states that either you convert or you are beheaded.
