It's better to say nothing, and be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

It's not about the mistakes we have made, it's about what we have learned from them.

RE: What's your favorite quote?
"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
--Harry S Truman, August 8, 1950

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
--Franklin D. Roosevelt, First Inaugural Address, Mar. 4, 1933

"....you ask, What is our policy? I will say; 'It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.' You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival."
--Sir Winston Churchill, 1940, in his first address as Prime Minister.

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

parable?
A wise holyman was on "pilgrimage" begging for food and shelter on his vast journey. He is approached by a massive warrior who says "Kneel before me and pay me homage!"
Well the holyman is wise and bends to his knee and bows before the warrior. The warrior says "You know, I could lop your head off with one blow."
To which the holyman replies "You know, I could let you."

"You've taken everything that once supported their sanity and condemned them to insanity. Get a taste of it man. Feel the pain. It hurts, doesn't it? Now imagine it happening every day in your neighborhood. You Americans are not innocent. You are accessories to genocide. I admit to being utterly shocked at the news, shocked to my soul from what happened in the U.S., but I can also understand what has driven it."

-- Altog Joispa




"Why is the American government portraying this as an attack on democracy? It is highly likely that this is a response to specific acts or policies of the U.S. abroad."

-- Ranjit





"I'm a Palestinian, and I've lived in the U.S. for a long time. I've lost the faculty of hate a long time ago against any people, so don't instruct me to hate because I'm a Pal, a Muslim. If you keep painting me as a terror, a vermin, incapable of love and you treat me with blatant force and humiliation without any respect to my origins, deny me my humanity and tell the world that I'm a no-good Arab filth, I'll learn to hate, and I'll learn to fight back with whatever I have. And I'll say there's a conspiracy of termination against my peoples and I'll change from a peace and loving person, to an avenging angel.

And I'm not alone, many in this world have the capacity to turn to devils in your eyes, because you only see them as such. ... People don't just hijack planes, plant bombs because they're genetically sinister. Life, which also happens to be my right also, is what you make of it. You want to breathe fire on mine, I'll breathe fire on yours. That's the American way, isn't it? Isn't it?"

I'm not a trekkie. Don't care for Star Trek. Accepted the name Spock as suggested by Briar Rabbit I believe if memory serves.Buddur, it's YOUR GOVERNMENT if you proudly like to wave the flag and beat your chest and chant USA. The US government does not represent me, the little guy. Rather, it represents big money, corporations, and the Jewish terrorist state.

RE: What's your favorite quote?
Spock, its a shame that your comments are so angry. Have you no compassion for the recent dead? Did they deserve to die...for simply going to work,or for flying on a plane. Your inability to see pure evil(the acts of these terrorists) is sad. Other than those who support Bin Laden and his goals the VAST majority of Foreign nations (as expressed by their Leaders) are apalled by this act. Its all to apparent which side your sympathies lie with. You live in this nation,benefit from what it provides yet express your gratitude with comments like this...."may a terrorist bomb the living daylights out of your country and its inept corrupt government. Let your country fall to its economic knees and tens of thousands of families lose their jobs at Boeing in your city, kleetn. This thread is titled the "face of the devil." Look in the mirror, people, and yee shall see that devil! You are the evil face of the USA."
