Anything can be seen as positive if you don't look at the negative. How a bloodbath can be a positive turn when there are bloodbaths on a daily basis
throughout the world baffles me. Its more of the same old, same old.
One. Neither the United States or Israel can be included in the discussion. Only hardcore anti-American/Israeli extremists will do this and
will ultimately look ridiculous in mixed company.
One, oh yes they can be. And I have already pointed out why. I'm betting there are at least a hundred threads on this site that help point out why.
As for being deemed an extremist for my views, those that do so are no better than radical Islam or radical Christianity. However, if having an
opinion that is contrary to the political powers that be equates me to being an extremist, I will wear that badge with pride.
Two. This is not a Palestinian problem...the same threats have not been issued in the West Bank against the Fatah.
As long as it is a threat against the democratically elected government of Palestine, it is indeed a Palestinian problem. As long as it affects the
lives of Palestinians, it is most definitely a Palestinian problem.
The is about Hamas and Hamas only and the things that it has let exist in its house, Gaza. For once and not a moment to soon that organization
is going to finally have to accept responsibility for the stench coming out of its house, instead of claiming that its coming from someone else's
home.
Lets assume for a moment that Al-Qaeda, our mortal enemy, has zero ties to anything Western. Let's assume that radical Islam has decided to turn its
back on the Hamas party for not sticking to radical Islamic values. Could it not follow that Hamas is obviously then "improving" in ideology more
closely identified to non-radical society? And if such is the case, is this not the time to find ways to help them maintain that status instead of
allowing them to be taken out by Al-Qaeda and slip back into radicalism?
On to Al Qaeda...there is obviously a global movement which has a policy that states that this monster MUST be associated America.
Oh good, back to reality. I am personally no part of any global movement, I simply no how to read my own, and others' research. The conclusions are
more likely than not, Al-Qaeda is in some manner associated with Western powers.
I think this is the best opportunity since this war began that the true identity and nature of Al Qaeda can be determined. I know there are a
lot of people out their that are wishing this day never came, but here we are. Next week as the Taliban problem in Pakistan and Afghanistan spins
completely out of control, Al Qaeda will also find it difficult to hide in Waziristan. In Somalia, Al Shabaab is retreating into the wilderness
without even puttin up a fight.
Wishing this day never came, absolutely. Our entire existence as human beings has been mottled with the cancerous growths of violence and death.
Seeing another instance of this is not what I would consider heartwarming, nor would I find it a victory.
My bet is that when this is all mopped up it will be common knowledge that Al Qaeda is totally without United States support and at worst we
may find some individual Americans (British descent probably) that are Al Qaeda supporters. This is what I love about War...it is an excellent way to
determine the Truth.
