Who the hell do you think you are to assume I condone urination on corpses?
All you have proven is that you assume to much.
Well in his defence, you did say you wanted to nuke people, which is an extremist view by the way. Don't you see that's how terrorists think like? Do you want to be like them?
So after that comment I can see why he would start to assume things

For example when the american's disrespect fallen ones, it seems to be fine, no-one cares.
"The law of war has long made this a war crime in all circumstances during all types of conflicts - and we prosecuted people after World War II for situations like this," Newton said.
ABC and CBS television showed pictures of the bodies being pulled out of a burning vehicle, hacked by angry Iraqis, dragged behind a car and strung up on a bridge, but electronically blurred the images of the corpses.

I do, however, stand by my statement about religion as a whole. We, as a species, have committed repulsive acts in the name of a god over the span of recorded history.edit on 26-2-2012 by jlm912 because: (no reason given)

The anger over a broken headstone of dead soldiers, but no anger over NATO accidently bombing civillians, who prior to the bombing had no marble headstone, but rather a life .
it appears that many here care more for a piece of carved marble than a human life.
You all get angry over a carved marble headstone being broken, but the people who worship the koran cant feel anger at it being burnt?
hypocrisy at its finest.

Actually, the National Oil Corporation of Libya with proven reserves of 41.5 billion barrels ranks in as #7 of the companies with top oil reserves in the world. Every company above it is Middle Eastern (aside from one Venezuelan). And these are only individual companies with proven reserves.
Actually, the UK has proven reserves of 28 Billion barrels with a possible maximum with new tech and explorations of 82 Billion barrels. Also, I said prodction, not reserves. You can have the worlds biggest reserves but not produce any. In terms of production, the UK and Libya are neck and neck.

Indeed, Afghan is mineral rich but you cannot mine anything there now or in the near future given the security situation. Also, it can be seen as "acting in our national interest" to protect such deposits for our use as the Chinese have the market cornered on rare Earths and other critical minerals used in high tech manufacture. If the Taliban would just get the message and lay down, then the whole of the country would benefit enormously from such exploration. It is ironic that they are the ones holding back development and causing the suffering that people like you blame on the "West".
You also deftly dodged my question regarding your logic. If you see this as justified retribution for burning a book, then surely our invasions are justifed retributions for past and continued atrocities committed by Islamic extremists against our countries and citizens?

you may want to learn what a psychopath is.
Your CEO's and presidents are more likely to be psychopaths than a religious person.
The west rewards psychopaths by promoting them to positions of power where that can get others to kill for them.
but feel free to accuse others, religion makes people remorceful,
