Terrorism: The American History

[fabb1963]

He believes global communism will make "everyone equal" and there simply will be no unhappy minorities wanting change. We will all love big brother.

That would be taking the case to extremes, but global communism is not the answer either. However, one culture living in wealth while another suffers in poverty goes along way to provoking hatred. Include a helping of supporting governments that keep their citizens in oppression because you need their natural resources and/or strategic location for military bases and you have successfully planted the first seeds of terrorism.

Institutionalist. Rules are good. I prefer international anarchy myself - your only as good as your might and your allies.

Like Saudi Arabia.

I think the Sa'ad family needs to answer to their own populace for their actions. There is no reason for any disparties or foreign infrastructure in that country. Oil revenue has not been invested properly in order to benefit their society as a whole, creating resource dependency.

I always assumed the Sa'ads just bribed any opposing populace. Then the oppostion are the ones making poor financial decisions. No ?

You know, Fabb is right being understanding and tolerance will go along way and help. After all Hitler really wasn't that bad, just think while he was gasing and burning people alive if we had been more understanding and tolerant things would have been much better.

Well he did like dogs and he was a vegetarian, those things should count for something, no?

 

[MtnBiker]

Sure, and he didn't allow smoking. See it just takes some understanding. People can do bad things we just need to understand them.

Yeah.They're poor because of tyranny and a lack of economic opportunity. We made the mistake of supporting dictators in the past. Now we're toppling them and instituting freedom and you still have a problem.

 

[Said1]

All of you slackers need to get back in front of TSN and the Shopping channel. History, as if you guys know anything.

Damn straight! The coalition of the M'F'ing willing, a mighty brute, rationally committed to the inherent strength of individual freedom. This is the next quantum change for humanity. A point to point network of equal and redundant nodes, not the hierarchical ego trip lefties want.

The UN is an example of Institutionalism at is finest. Total failure. I wonder what happened?

Oh well, back to shoes.

Are we instituting freedom? That is still to be determined. When will we topple the government of Saudi Arabia?

One goat at a time.

 

[Said1]

Is Fab what was is better known as a "psuedo-intillectual"?

Go back and defend your article.

 

[Said1]

Any recollection of the economic conditions in 1886, 1917, 1920, 1930?

Ever heard of Keynesian economics and the welfare state?

 

[shepherdboy]

Are we instituting freedom? That is still to be determined. When will we topple the government of Saudi Arabia?

When they run out of oil!

 

[Gunny]

We just need to save the BS comparison here.

American colonists were fighting to free themselves from an oppresive monarchy. There was no war -- military aggression -- until the Brits drew first blood.

Islamic fundamentalists on the other hand are trying to subjugate the entire species by murdering anyone not bowing to their whims.

I don't see the correlation.

Hitler was many things...mostly negative...but I have yet to hear him be accused of being a terrorist. Kind of like comparing apples and oranges.

Somehow, it is engraved that the mind of the Islamics is to kill without cause as they force their beliefs on the world. Isn't US foreign policy kind of similar, except maybe with less bloodshed? I would recommend the book "Ghost Wars" to truly understand how wonderful the American government is to the world.
