I am sick of the Terrorists because they keep killing innocent lives everyday in Iraq . They attacked Iraq's parlament and killed 8 people. There has been 3,252 USA tropps dead so far that more than my thread called Do you believe in God or Do you believe in Sciecne? So when will all this end. :( Q. Do you know how many innocent iraq's have died so far in iraq? A. Almost a Million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This thread is a form of terrorism... to the poor OT:(:P I don't beleive in God or Science... I just fly by the seat of my pants on that one, I figure I will find out soon enough when I get there (die)
IÂ don't even know if I'd call them terrorists anymore, considering (according to military personel and families 'of that post here) that the Insurgents are on the defensive. Fear tactics often are used through agression. Not blind agression, mind you...the kind that makes your hairs stick up.
Strangely enough, if someone uses fear tactics in a game of chess or a fighting match, couldn't they be considered terrorists?
As long as theirs a Government there will be an Anti-Government. Its really just nature for peoples opinions to clash, sadly people haven't grasped the concept that murdering people for usually your own selfish reasons (and if your murdering innocent people, it usually is selfish), or beliefs (beliefs that apparently tell people to strap bombs to themselves and throw themselves into large groups of women and children).
In the end there is no just cause for killing women and children because they don't share your opinion. Say for once the Terrorists who want another Government in power win, do they really think that this Government won't have its share of Terrorists? Do they really think that killing women and children because of something someone else done is really the right thing to do, to get a point across?
When the British leave Ireland and the US leaves the middle east.
I mean seriously, the middle east has been the cradle of civilization for thousands of years, when are they going to get their **** together? I understand their embarrassment at being slapped around by the new kids on the block (USA, Isreal) but with all their resources you'd think they would be ahead of the game.
They had it together for quite sometime...but then that whole 16th Century thing hit them pretty hard. The West made it to the New World and grew rich off it's gold and resources, the Ottomans were stuck in Africa/Asia.

...then in the 20th century they were in a position to put it back together again, being in possession of most of the world's most coveted resource but religious strife and turmoil, not to mention greed keeps the majority of their population living in the 16th century.
Terrorism will always be around, however the terrorism you refer to will not subside until at least after the troops are withdrawn from Iraq and Afghanistan. That said terrorism is a dirty word, it is very ambiguous indeed. Many so-called terrorists are legitimate resistance groups, Hizbollah for example.

The Colonial powers made sure they didn't get that chance.Granted the religious violence didn't help, but it wasn't the sole cause.

They had the upper hand, they still have the upper hand, but until they get their **** together, they won't be able to wield it. I think that religious strife is their main weakness.

I don't see how Iraq has the upper hand in anything right now.

Iraq is one nation in the middle east. The middle east has the potential to be a superior military force, and that potential is not gone just because Iraq was invaded by a foreign power. Imagine the s***storm if a foreign power were to invade a nation in North America. There are strategically weak nations in North America, but that doesn't mean that North America isn't a strong military power (NORAD)
Who is to say who the real terrorists are?Snake-Drinker
I would say that a terrorist is a person who *targets* innocent civilians to promote a political agenda, and a government that supports such behavior is a terrorist state.
Who is to say who the real terrorists are?Snake-Drinker
well the generally accepted defenition of terrorist is a person who kills civilians in some horrific way to cause terror, usually for political or religious reasons.
Who is to say who the real terrorists are?Snake-Drinker
Terrorism is a term used to describe violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians by groups or persons for political or ideological goals.
Secondly do you honestly think Terrorists view themselves as the bad guys? In their minds they are the good guys. Just like the revolutionists thought England was wrong when we established America.Â
I personaly don't have any opinon on who is right. I just know that both sides are generaly stupid.
Before Iraq, more people died from bee stings and other animal related attacks then from Terrorism. The whole issue has been exaggerated to keep people in fear. Realistically, you should fear driving your own car more then terrorism.
Of course now in Iraq we have created a nightmare, and almost as many Iraqi's have died due to civil war as were killed by Saddam. The current count is estimated at 600,000. Initially, the administration rebuked this and claimed this number was way off, and the methods to calculate the toll was not scientific. Under further review by the scientific community, it is now confirmed these numbers were calculated with tried and tested methods (used in such wars as WWII and Vietnam) and are statistically accurate.
Amazing huh?
The person who said "when people stop being terrified" is 100% absolutely correct...
