As an American, I agree, Bush isn’t our perfect leader for peace…but after 9-11, he is the perfect leader for war. He has kept Americans safe, which is his #1 priority.

In 2008, lets get a neo-CLINTON back in there, and get someone from the islamic world to step up!!!

Matt

I am an atheist. I dont belv in relegion or GOD.
Infact, I abhor relegion. My good friend got married recently and I convinced him to NOT HAVE ANY relegious ceremony. We played beach volleyball, ate good food, and danced.

My friend, relegion is an emotional crutch. Relegion is the Opium of the masses.

You have been brain washed into thinking that Islam is great. Yet another sorry soul that was devoured by the clerics.

Jason, I suggest that YOU start to accept other point of views. Try to understand our ideas, our religion (our real religion). Be flexible, don’t talk to us just to convince us. I think it’s a good idea to start LISTENNING to us.

Why not? I am a victim of those Islamic terrorist attacks, just as you are a victim of Israel.

I grew up in this suburb.

Dont forget, that, for every ANGRY Arab, there are a billion Hindus that HATE Islamic fundamentalism.

Dont forget, that for every Malaysian muslim that oppresses the chinese minority, there’s a really smart, hard-working chinese engineer designing computer chips in india.

My friend, you need to peek outside of your little Israel-Palestine love affair and see just HOW MANY OTHER people are being affected by this Islamic Jihad.

Saudi Arabia is not the ideal example of Islam. Unfortunately, none of the Islamic countries are. Our Islamic world is ruled by people who are unfaithful to their people actually they are faithful to America and her spoiled daughter Israel. America is after our oil, first Gulf, now Iraq and then Sudan.

“I’d would be happier if the Saudis were poorer, and we see a few more American billionaires. At least, these people won’t fund terrorist organizations in Baluchistan or Kashmir. They buy micro lights and gliders”
Well, I can give you a very good example of that, McDonalds and Starbucks give money to Israel (and this is a well-known fact ) in order to buy weapons and kill children like what happened in Qana few days ago. If weapons are called “micro lights and gliders” these days please let me know.

“Move all the Palenstinian refugees to Jordan (20 %), and the rest to Saudi Arabia. Give back the land to Israel.”
Give BACK the land to Israel?! Since when the land is Israel’s. This is history my friend, Israel took our land and kicks the Palestinians out.

Move all the Palenstinian refugees to Jordan (20 %), and the rest to Saudi Arabia. Give back the land to Israel.

Reform education across the middle east similar to the curriculum in the USA.

Fund research in science and technology.

Encourage the creation of privite schools with initial endowments from wealthy Saudi businessmen (just like Harvard, stanford.
Create free markets to enable trade.
Create a federal bank to fund small businesses.
Create a federal bank for tech startups.
Nurture travel: Build resorts, advertize.
Obsolete relegion: Shutdown mosques, limit the donation to relegious institutions by individuals or businesses.

Create government funded institutes for research, similar to the national labs in the US.

Elect a democracy.

My friend, the problem really is an unfortunate set of events that has forced the Arab/muslim world to live with a set of social values that are outdated. They are a society that primarily congregates based on relegion. For example, In the US, there are many communities (both online and real-life), for people that are interested in crossword puzzeles. This community is a new surrogate congregation that fills the role of a church. These geeky people probably have strong views about crossword puzzles, perhaps emotions that are no stronger than a muslim that studies in a madrasa. The problem is, the muslims want to kill and engage in Jihad. The geeks want to write computer programs. Big difference.

When you have a society that nurtures its sons and daughters with knowledge, you have a country filled with intellectuals, inventors, doctors, biologists, Molecular bio-physicists ..etc. This phenomenon is self sustaining. The Arab world DOES NOT have this. They need a makeover for their society, with passion for knowledge as the pillars of their families. Not the pillars of Islam. You can raise a child to fall in love with anything, art for example. I am good friends with a really successful american inventor. He has been in love with rockets all his life. He builds them, and flies them up into the sky. His kids are into rockets. He is part of a club that meets regularly. He socializes with their families. He has no need for a relegious congregation to fill his social needs as a human being.

Saudi Arabia has plenty of oil money. Why dont they gradudate PhDs in Physics? Because they have more screwed-in-the-head professors researching the Holy Quran, than ones that research computer algorithms or particle physics. To the rest of the moderate world, this whole obsession with relegion is ancient, primitive, crude, subhuman and outright disgusting. I’d would be happier if the Saudis were poorer, and we see a few more american billionares. Atleast, these people wont fund terroirst organizations in Baluchistan or Kashmir. They buy microlights and gliders.

Killing innocent people is simply unacceptable, by Israel or the US. It should be stopped. Having said that, I will always stand by Israel to defend herself.

I am not a Jew. I was raised Hindu, but I am a strict Atheist. I am not American, I was born in India.

I desperately want to belv that the Muslims in the middle east are just like any community around the world. They like a good meal, and love Baaklava (like me). But, they are different.

And Ahmedinejad. What a joke? I would rather die in shame, than call a freak like him as the head of my country. Even George Bush is better than him.
