Regardless of what you think of US policy- regardless of if you believe this attack was justified blow back.
The people that died were innocent.
Trashing memorials is just plain ignorant.
No different than those crazy Westboro Baptists -
Except these people do it face to face- I doubt those that removed the flags would confront the children of those that died.

If you cannot think of a better way to protest, get someone in who has some better ideas.

America feeds off hate the way crops feed off fertilizer. Just look at their Military Industrial Complex and war economy.

Not exactly. The ME is poverty and dictatorship ridden, factors which create unrest. It is also the scene of 4,000+ years of the same issues and culture, the inherent violence of which have been kept alive by western interference and stifling of the democratic process there. The US is the New World, full of real and potential wealth and prosperity. Mind you the US right wing since Reagan has focused successfully on killing the US middle class, so maybe more violence is coming? With their extremism and gun problem self-immolation seems inevitable for the US. They are the 21st Century fascist power engaged in a perpetual, internal, American-style jihad.

Right.

Islam is the cause of the insanity in the ME.


Islam is not the fault of the west.

Read a little history.

I wish I could be as educated as Tober.

I believe he was being a typical arrogant american.

As well as being a s***!

Often in recent years I have read Americans bragging on the Internet about US forces killing Third World women and children. US sniper Chris Kyle wrote a book about his kills and the US media featured him in televised news shows bragging about it. Conservative US bloggers express great delight with stories like Kyle's, often saying that more people should be shot in their own countries. .

its is your good fortune , now that the Obama administration is in power, to have the opportunity to become so....


Unfortunately, the bush administration used the 'era of solidarity ' post 9-11 to seal off the American market from Canadian Aerospace firms accessing the US market. You may want to look into the rather Sordid history of LAAS.

He does have a point, after all, Canada is such a major, global powerhouse in the aerospace industry.... It's comes as nothing short of a shock to have that door closed.

4,000 years and they are both still alive, it took about 200 years for the settlers in North America to genocide many Indian Tribes. You sure you aren't in denial about which race is the dangerous one??

Go back to the late 40's and move forwards- See how the Sunni extremists are targeting Shia Muslims for execution. Thanks to the Sunni Wahabi version and support from Saudi.

Islam is no more the problem with the ME than Christianity is the problem with the West. The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful people the same as the vast majority of Christians are peaceful people, even though both religions have parts of their bibles that demand they be violent. Politics and political leaders are the problems. Many Islamics see all Western leaders as evil "Christians". Many Christians see all Middle Eastern leaders as evil Muslims. The problem-causing political leaders are not representative of their entire faiths.

The current spate of religious intolerance is no different than the racial and religious intolerance and anti-Jewish pogroms that used to infect Europe and caused so many problems. It is intolerance based on ignorance. The entire ME problem is too old to be any one entity's fault. All sides keep the problems alive for their own selfish reasons.

Read European and ME history, not the current propaganda spread by US conservatives.

Check the curriculum in Arab Countries.
Why do you think you are the only one that has read more than 1 book.
