The "War on Terra" is both a racial and religious war - The War on Them
Edited on Mon Aug-09-04 10:00 AM by ChavezSpeakstheTruth
I was listening to NPR Saturday and heard an interview of voters in Fla. and one said "these people, the only thing they undestand is force. And I would lay down an ultimatum to 'em, if I was the President 'For every one of our people that you kill we're going to take out fifty of yours.' I think they can understand that." http://www.npr.org/rundowns/segment.php?wfId=3834232

This represents the thinking of many in this country.

"These People" "Them" "They" - some people are so isolated and ignorant in this country that they believe this. They believe in this nebulous, brown skinned heathen. They feel that they are some sort of half-evolved brute. The current administration is capitolizing on this ignorant hatred and keeping people in a state of fear to foster it.

It sickens me.

1. I don't care what the skin color is.
If you attack the USA then you shoult be held responsible. Timothy Mcvay should have been burned at the stake.

2. The war is on US. The nature of the alleged terra-ists is irrelevant.
Fear. Profit. Power. You get the picture.

4. I disagree - its more than that. It plays upon the very nature of racial
hatred. Fear and insecurity. Toss religion in the mix and it becomes ok to kill, even if YOUR religion says it is wrong.

6. I shouldn't say I disagree - I DO agree with you. I just think there's
more to it. Greed is definately the prime motivator, no doubt. I feel that the nature of the Iraqis makes it easier for the US to invade.

7. I thought it's not to be called War on Terra anymore?
Isn't it some kind of ideological stuggle, blah, blah, blah...?
