Americans would you consider someone a traitor if they did this,or just an inhumane individual?
Okay it is from an outline of a novel I am writing. The novel starts off in 2010. The United States is in a war with Pakistan.The lead character (currently unnamed)a 17 year old, joins the army in mid 2009 to go to the war. He is near fluent in Arabic. Not long after being in the army (2023) he goes AWOL during patrol, and sneaks into Afghanistan.While in Afghanistan he explains to the people how they need to overthrow the corrupt Taliban government.He eventually gets a devotes group of some 2000 people. Inspired by the WTC attacks (which took place in 1997 in the novel's world), he recruits two pilots from a fictional airline company to crash airliners,loaded with explosives into fictional skyscrapers in Kabul.He eventually meets and falls in love with an American girl named Melody who has renounced her American citizenship and is hiding out in Afghanistan.The group eventually accumulate weaponry from former terrorists groups that have broken off the government.The pilots make homemade impact explosives they will carry with them on the flight.The attack takes place on 4th,May,2016. By the time of the attack about 10,000 people have joined the group including former terrorists.Some 2000 are killed in the attack,in contrast to over 300,000 civilians killed in Kabul as well as the defeat of the government and troops in the immediate area. He takes over as leader and starts poppy trade with most of Europe and Eastern Asia in 2017, in addition to changing Afghanistan's name to the "Nations of Resistance or the N.O.R which it is commonly referred to in the novel's world.In 2031 he organizes extensive bombing raids on Iran,Armenia,Azerbaijan,Kuwait,Saudi Arabia,Yemen,Oman,U.A.E, Lebanon, Syria, and Georgia. The plan of the surprise attacks are to render the economies in these countries so useless, that they will be force to become opium farmers and the N.O.R will pay them for the services, so they can rebuild themselves as part of the N.O.R. The plan works, and the N.O.R becomes the first empire like nation since the Soviet Union.Throughout the years most of the damaged areas of the nations are repaired and are contributing greatly to the trade of opium/hashish/peyote(which grows naturally in the region in the novel) throughout the world. Eventually he becomes the 4th richest person in the world due to this, and gives money as end of the year bonuses of about $10,000 dollars to the farmers (most of the time they only make about $3.50/hour, while the man controlling the farm gets about 3k an hour. Syria eventually wants to leave the N.O.R (they are the only part of the nation contributing poorly and still in bad shape from the attacks, they are usually simply given money to get by).As a result of this he pulls the money they receive and withdraws all medical support,etc. The area that was formally Syria virtually becomes an area full of starvation,disease,and crime.Many Americans move to the are for the benefit of having a poppy farm and making money from it.Many in America view him as an inhumane murderer, but some go simply for the monetary value of owning a poppy farm.He and Melody have two kids together who he raises to be like him as a successor to him, for when he dies, he explains to raise his son the same way so they cycle for being a nation will go on for millenia.His execution style is that he takes the prisoner down the isle, destroying things of important value, pictures,things sentimental to the person etc.At the end of the hall if the prisoner has a spouse he kills her/him then the person themselves. This is all I have got to so far the year 2056. So do you think he should be the protagonist as well as the villain. What do you characterize his personality as? Would you consider him a traitor to America?

How about this. I know that not every Muslim is a terrorist but most are, and it pisses me off. Welcome to the wonderful world of sweeping generalizations. You made them. I made them. But guess what ? Every Muslim supports Islam. Is it OK with you if I judge your ideology ? It sucks. First off, it's an Abrahamic day dream. Unproven and complete rubbish. Grow up and join the modern world, a place where rape victims aren't supposed to be stoned to death and where it's OK to be gay and it's OK for women to dress how they damn well please. Second, it's the source of a whole lot of atrocity. And that's not just 'a few radical Muslims'. That's whole countries of Muslims. The people overseas don't have money to make weapons ? How does that justify terrorism ? How does it justify terrorism against people in groups who've never done anything to you ? Once again, your total divorce from reality land, typical of Abrahamic thumpers, does not serve you. America and Israel are killing who ? The Palestinians ? Hey, they kinda bring that on themselves. As for the Americans, we're just supporting Israel, a tiny little country. There are only 16 million or so Jews in the world. There are @ 1.6 billion Muslims. Are they that big a thorn in your side ? Just stop shooting rockets at them. And how does that justify Muslims who aren't from Palestine (not even a real country but hey, whatever), 1) killing infidels b/c they're infidels, 2) raping women b/c they're not 'properly covered up', 3) killing their own kids for 'honor', 4) killing other Muslims. Yeah, you guys blow each other up. It's no surprise that you also blow up people who aren't even Muslims. And Muslims do this practically every fucking day. Why ? B/c Islam supports terrorism. Obviously. Unless you think there are Jews with "Mind Control Rays" lurking behind every corner or something. Is that facetious ? Not really, considering what else you believe in. 21st century.

I wish I could give you a suitable answer. I was born in Karachi, Pakistan, my family lived there for three years and they made many Muslim friends. We then lived in Doha, Qatar for five years and in both places we found the Muslim population warm and friendly. Of course there are bad apples like there are in any ethnicity. I can only assume that poor media has brainwashed a large population of the U.S. against Muslims/Arabs. Sadly it is called ignorance. Tragically it isn't just the U.S. where this blind ignorance exists. German's Angela Merkel has cited that multiculturalism doesn't work in Germany, the same for England by David Cameron. Many European countries politics have taken a steep turn to extreme right wing idealogies which puerile beliefs are against Muslims and other immigrants.
20 :
Because GW Bush and his ilk pushed that idea on us. The best way to control people and get them to give up their rights is to create a common enemy, make everyone afraid of them (rational or not), and then pretend the government is the only one who can protect you from them. It made it easier to declare war on Muslim countries with no just cause whatsoever. It's the same thing Hitler did with the Jews. But it's not all Americans. Sadly, a very vocal group is representing us in the press and making us look like ignorant idiots. People in this country are largely ignorant about non-Christian religions. They think that because a handful of people did a criminal act, all Muslims are terrorists. But when you try to use the same example with Christian terrorists, well then it's a different thing. It's very sad. We need to teach people about the Muslim faith. And other faiths as well. People don't want to get to know Muslims as individuals, they want to see them as a group and condemn them all by the acts of a few. And people don't want to know. That's what's really sad. They don't want to understand what Muslims are about, they would rather listen to the rantings of the ignorant right wing media.

Some kids will try to find something they can pick on about you, no matter what it is. I'm not Muslim, but I have red hair, I wore glasses as a teenager, and I wasn't thin as a rail in high school, and I heard an awful lot of stupid questions about all three of those things from people trying to be clever and make me feel worse so they could feel better about themselves.

It would probably help your standing if more of the moderate Muslims would speak out against the radicals. But they don't and quietly accept what it is.

Women, children, mentally deficient people, what ever; strapped up with bombs. The extremist have done an excellent job instilling fear in everyone. Isn't that their goal? They have done a great job.

Why Do You Think EVERY American Thinks That Every Muslim Is A Terrorist?
Monday, October 7, 2013
What do you guys think of this? Reaction paper to banning the building of mosques in Switzerland?
What do you guys think of this? Reaction paper to banning the building of mosques in Switzerland?
College paper Muslims in the West are constantly making demands for freedom: freedom to build mosques, freedom to wear the burka and hijab, freedom to practice Sharia law. They generally present these demands as basic rights owed to them by the countries in which they live. And Western liberals — even those opposed to the Islamic agenda — are hard-pressed to rebuff them. This is due to a faulty conceptualization of the issue. A new approach must be adopted. Let’s call it “Linkageâ€. The idea is simple: Muslims have no rights in Western lands as long as non-Muslims are being persecuted in Muslim lands. Some simple examples: 1. No more mosques in the West, until there is a church in Mecca. 2. No freedom to wear Muslim clothing in the West, until all women have the freedom to wear whatever they want in Mecca. 3. No more funding of Islamic education and proselytizing in the West, until all faiths are free to establish schools, libraries and missions in Mecca. 4. No foot baths for Muslims, until there are holy water dispensers for Christians in Mecca. etc. We all know what’s going on in Mecca. Christians, Jews and other faiths are barred entry in a form of Islamic apartheid. In Mecca, churches are illegal. The Bible and the cross are illegal. Priests are illegal. Preaching Christianity and other faiths is punishable by imprisonment, torture and death. Converting to Christianity or another faith is punishable by imprisonment, torture and death. In short, the heartland of Islam is one of the most appalling hellholes of religious intolerance in the world today. Yet Muslims have the gall to demand footbaths and other frivolous perks in our lands. The hypocrisy reeks like a sewer. It’s obscene, and even the most unconcerned layman can immediately perceive the unfairness. Muslims are only concerned for freedom when they are on the receiving end. This is my proposal: We in the anti-Jihad movement should adopt the principle of “Linkage†as a war cry. We should repeat it like a broken record. Advocate it relentlessly on blogs and in street demonstrations. Distribute flyers. Pressure politicians. Run television ads. Make it into T-shirts and hats and coffee mugs. Glue posters to walls with really stubborn glue. DEMAND fairness! The principle of linkage is already making inroads. Last year, the Russians demanded a quid pro quo from the Saudis: A Saudi Mosque in Moscow in Exchange for a Russian Church in Mecca? The king of Saudi Arabia has announced that he is ready to support the construction of a mosque and Islamic cultural center in Moscow, a city with only four mosques for its more than two million Muslims. In response and probably to block this, Orthodox Christians in Russia have called for opening a church in Saudi Arabia. After the Saudi offer was reported, three Russian Orthodox groups — the Moscow section of the Union of Orthodox Citizens, the Radonezh Society, and the Byzantine Club — released an open letter to Saudi King Abdullah suggesting that there should be another mosque in Moscow only after a Russian Orthodox church was opened in Mecca. Jean-Louis Cardinal Toran, the head of the Papal Council on Inter-religious Dialogue, agrees: If Muslims consider it correct to have a large and beautiful mosque in Rome, then it is equally correct for Christians to have a church in Riyadh. Alison Ruoff, a prominent evangelical member of the Church of England’s General Synod, has applied linkage: Mrs Ruoff, a former magistrate, said in an interview with London’s Premier Christian Radio that no more mosques should be built in Britain until all persecution of Christians in Muslim nations had ceased. The British writer Adrian Morgan raises the same point: Yet when one sees the number of mosques being erected in Britain, often with money from Saudi Arabia, I wonder why no Far Left individual raises the question of hypocrisy. Saudi Arabia funds the export of Islam around the world (even to Nepal), yet prevents any Bibles from being brought into their kingdom. No churches are allowed to be built in Saudi Arabia, and migrant workers who hold unofficial Christian services have been jailed. Similarly in Pakistan, Christians are a minority group, yet they are persecuted mercilessly. In Malaysia, no one is allowed to leave Islam and Buddhists, Hindus and Christians are legally defined as second-class citizens, and yet Malaysia regards itself as upholding a “civilizational†form of Islam. The principle of linkage is gaining momentum. With the help of everyone in the Counterjihad community, we can broaden it into an avalanche.

no linkage needed!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I can't see this question lasting long
2 :
Sounds like a reasonable fair exchange.
3 :
Whether linkage is gaining momentum or not but this is the second time around that the Swiss showed their ugly side to the World, all that talk of neutrality obviously had angles in hindsight. The issue of whether minarets are representative of Islam is besides the point. The issue is, it was perceived by those who voted against it. Lets not forget in all this that 43% voted in favor. The arguments will only become valid if the Western nations open their markets to the third world, security council and the non proliferation structure lose its veto by the West and China. And the Western countries agree to pay environmental tax to the poor and developing countries. To demand social equality from the comfort of "closed door" policies is the worse type of hypocrisy. At the same time, let it be a warning to us that one of the most contentious aspect of the so called Muslim dress code, Niqab was successfully deployed as instrument of publicity to drum up support against the building of minarets. Instead of appeasing the sect centric Mullahs. it is about time we face up to the reality that the stereotype of a Muslim is well and stubbornly in place, Hijab for women and beards for men. Unlike conventional stereotypes, this is is a gift from us to "them". Instead of concentrating on the Hijab and beard if we were to emulate the best example of the Prophet Pbuh as per the advice of God Himself, we would do much better in promoting our religion and way of life. We should focus more on God, the Day of Judgment and remembrance of God as the verse Quran 33:21 clearly spells out and not twist it to mean physical appearance or worse. Once we are able to place the verses in context and act them out, then the qualities of true Momins, the qualities of truthfulness, humbleness, generosity and courage for the right reasons will shine through. We must not spend our time forever explaining away why we look the way we look but to use the opportunity to attract people to Islam by who we are and not how we look.

No amount of our saying anything else is worth our doing this, now. This BS about the Muslims need to be educated and helped has gone on for long enough.

since Saudis do not allow non muslims to live in Saudi Arabia what is the point in building a church? i understand if there were a community of Christians living there just as there are communities of muslims living in switzerland and Russia otherwise i really don't see the point in building one! If you don't LIKE THE ACTIONS OF THE MIDDLE EAST WHY ACT SO HYPOCRITICAL by deciding to act like them by oppressing muslims in the West? why should they be oppressed for the actions of other islamic governments? where is the freedom and justice in this? why should they suffer for others actions?What is wrong in Saudi giving and donating money for building mosques? you wouldn't mind if Israel were giving money for jewish communities to build their synagogues would you lol!?!?! its all just bloody hypocrisy. i think it's disgusting that you have the nerve to talk about non muslims being persecuted in Arabia and yet you feel it would be ideal and necessary to persecute muslims in the West to prove a point, surely this goes against your own moral beliefs?

College paper Muslims in the West are constantly making demands for freedom: freedom to build mosques, freedom to wear the burka and hijab, freedom to practice Sharia law. They generally present these demands as basic rights owed to them by the countries in which they live. And Western liberals — even those opposed to the Islamic agenda — are hard-pressed to rebuff them. This is due to a faulty conceptualization of the issue. A new approach must be adopted. Let’s call it “Linkageâ€. The idea is simple: Muslims have no rights in Western lands as long as non-Muslims are being persecuted in Muslim lands. Some simple examples: 1. No more mosques in the West, until there is a church in Mecca. 2. No freedom to wear Muslim clothing in the West, until all women have the freedom to wear whatever they want in Mecca. 3. No more funding of Islamic education and proselytizing in the West, until all faiths are free to establish schools, libraries and missions in Mecca. 4. No foot baths for Muslims, until there are holy water dispensers for Christians in Mecca. etc. We all know what’s going on in Mecca. Christians, Jews and other faiths are barred entry in a form of Islamic apartheid. In Mecca, churches are illegal. The Bible and the cross are illegal. Priests are illegal. Preaching Christianity and other faiths is punishable by imprisonment, torture and death. Converting to Christianity or another faith is punishable by imprisonment, torture and death. In short, the heartland of Islam is one of the most appalling hellholes of religious intolerance in the world today. Yet Muslims have the gall to demand footbaths and other frivolous perks in our lands. The hypocrisy reeks like a sewer. It’s obscene, and even the most unconcerned layman can immediately perceive the unfairness. Muslims are only concerned for freedom when they are on the receiving end. This is my proposal: We in the anti-Jihad movement should adopt the principle of “Linkage†as a war cry. We should repeat it like a broken record. Advocate it relentlessly on blogs and in street demonstrations. Distribute flyers. Pressure politicians. Run television ads. Make it into T-shirts and hats and coffee mugs. Glue posters to walls with really stubborn glue. DEMAND fairness! The principle of linkage is already making inroads. Last year, the Russians demanded a quid pro quo from the Saudis: A Saudi Mosque in Moscow in Exchange for a Russian Church in Mecca? The king of Saudi Arabia has announced that he is ready to support the construction of a mosque and Islamic cultural center in Moscow, a city with only four mosques for its more than two million Muslims. In response and probably to block this, Orthodox Christians in Russia have called for opening a church in Saudi Arabia. After the Saudi offer was reported, three Russian Orthodox groups — the Moscow section of the Union of Orthodox Citizens, the Radonezh Society, and the Byzantine Club — released an open letter to Saudi King Abdullah suggesting that there should be another mosque in Moscow only after a Russian Orthodox church was opened in Mecca. Jean-Louis Cardinal Toran, the head of the Papal Council on Inter-religious Dialogue, agrees: If Muslims consider it correct to have a large and beautiful mosque in Rome, then it is equally correct for Christians to have a church in Riyadh. Alison Ruoff, a prominent evangelical member of the Church of England’s General Synod, has applied linkage: Mrs Ruoff, a former magistrate, said in an interview with London’s Premier Christian Radio that no more mosques should be built in Britain until all persecution of Christians in Muslim nations had ceased. The British writer Adrian Morgan raises the same point: Yet when one sees the number of mosques being erected in Britain, often with money from Saudi Arabia, I wonder why no Far Left individual raises the question of hypocrisy. Saudi Arabia funds the export of Islam around the world (even to Nepal), yet prevents any Bibles from being brought into their kingdom. No churches are allowed to be built in Saudi Arabia, and migrant workers who hold unofficial Christian services have been jailed. Similarly in Pakistan, Christians are a minority group, yet they are persecuted mercilessly. In Malaysia, no one is allowed to leave Islam and Buddhists, Hindus and Christians are legally defined as second-class citizens, and yet Malaysia regards itself as upholding a “civilizational†form of Islam. The principle of linkage is gaining momentum. With the help of everyone in the Counterjihad community, we can broaden it into an avalanche.

no linkage needed!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I can't see this question lasting long
2 :
Sounds like a reasonable fair exchange.
3 :
Whether linkage is gaining momentum or not but this is the second time around that the Swiss showed their ugly side to the World, all that talk of neutrality obviously had angles in hindsight. The issue of whether minarets are representative of Islam is besides the point. The issue is, it was perceived by those who voted against it. Lets not forget in all this that 43% voted in favor. The arguments will only become valid if the Western nations open their markets to the third world, security council and the non proliferation structure lose its veto by the West and China. And the Western countries agree to pay environmental tax to the poor and developing countries. To demand social equality from the comfort of "closed door" policies is the worse type of hypocrisy. At the same time, let it be a warning to us that one of the most contentious aspect of the so called Muslim dress code, Niqab was successfully deployed as instrument of publicity to drum up support against the building of minarets. Instead of appeasing the sect centric Mullahs. it is about time we face up to the reality that the stereotype of a Muslim is well and stubbornly in place, Hijab for women and beards for men. Unlike conventional stereotypes, this is is a gift from us to "them". Instead of concentrating on the Hijab and beard if we were to emulate the best example of the Prophet Pbuh as per the advice of God Himself, we would do much better in promoting our religion and way of life. We should focus more on God, the Day of Judgment and remembrance of God as the verse Quran 33:21 clearly spells out and not twist it to mean physical appearance or worse. Once we are able to place the verses in context and act them out, then the qualities of true Momins, the qualities of truthfulness, humbleness, generosity and courage for the right reasons will shine through. We must not spend our time forever explaining away why we look the way we look but to use the opportunity to attract people to Islam by who we are and not how we look.

Would it be Fair to Make the Mosque Promoters Post an Insurance Bond?
Would it be Fair to Make the Mosque Promoters Post an Insurance Bond?
This would be an insurance forfeiture bond in case the mosque was a source of massive damage to New York City or the people there from Explosion or from Toxic or Radioactive materials of any kind. The insurance bond would be paid for out of the charitable donations that support the Mosque's creation and development. In that part of town, within very close blast range of 25 Federal agencies, two stock exchanges, and two major telecom hubs (one of which handles inter-regional bank check clearances), a bond that included consequential damages, pain and sufferring, loss of life, and loss of commercial use would run at least $500 Billion. So, it could cost $50 Million a year to maintain unless the full sum were put up in cash upfront. This would not be a problem for the muslim world. They get $50 million in oil money from us every week. It would be very helpful to victims of this project if there are any. Keep in mind that no recovery of any kind was ever made from any muslim nations, especially Saudi Arabia, for the massive destruction that occurred on 9/11. It being so difficult to recover money from overseas sources after the fact of harm being done, perhaps a bond posted upfront from those overseas sources who will be funding this mosque would be appropriate. Why should American taxpayers have to pick up the tab -- again? We may or may not be able to stop our politicians from doing astonishingly improvident things, but insurance could buffer USA from some small part of the potential consequences of poor decision making by highly confused persons. What do you think. That's my question. Would it be fair to have a bond be posted? My critics so far miss the point. Different automobiles cost different amounts to insure. Same with planes, boats, amusement parks, skating rinks. Premiums are individually related to the risk posed -- it's not one size fits all. Is there a risk that is special to this situation? Well, some muslims do tend to blow things up. To deny that is too absurd even for my opponents, so I assume they accept that simple reality. We have absolutely no way of knowing which muslims may or may not be using or not using the Cordoba House if it is built. Could be just peaceful muslims. Could be terrorist muslims. Could be folks from Hamas there to assemble a nuclear device so that Dr. Ahmedinejad can make good on his threats. We don't know! What do people do when they don't know about a risk? They get insurance. This is not an idea I'm inventing and bringing to you for the first time (like people up in the hollers that have never seen a chair before). This is reason! To: "Common Sense" (ha) The Equal Protection Clause does NOT require that all organizations or building plans be treated equally. It requires only that similarly situated ones be treated equally. So all other religious community centers from religions that claim almost all of the world's terrorists over the past 30 years would have to post a bond. Any of these that were located in extremely high rent areas that are vital to the national security, would have to post a $500 Billion bond. See that's treating everybody equally. Oh oh -- you say there are no other religions that claim almost every terrorist on Earth for the past 30 years? The Buddhists can't say that, nor can the Unitarians, or the B'ahai's or the Shintos. Well this would not be the first time that an insurance premium was tailored to the risk.

You mistakenly equate the building of a Mosque with the actions of a minority of Muslims. I could do the same and point to the violence in Northern Ireland in clashes between Catholics and Protestants and the various IRA bombings in London.

Not fair, because you're singling out one religion. Not possible because: 1.

NO insurance is going to cover toxins or radiation. It's a standard exclusion, across the board. 3. A "bond" doesn't work that way. A bond is a three party agreement, with the obligee being the entity that gets paid, the insurance company doing the paying, and the obligor the one who's behavior is guaranteed by the bond. You're talking about insurance, not a bond. 4. Americans pick up the tab, because we vote in politicians that LOVE to spend our money. We ARE able to stop our politicians from behaving badly.

None I can think of. So it's a moot point. Don't get me wrong. I think the "park 51" location for a mosque is in extremely poor taste. And it boggles my mind, how people can claim that the site is not ground zero. Because it's occupied by a building, which was hit by a plane, flown by a terrorist, on September 11, 2001.

I think we should make any Germans moving into the region post a bond too. There are millions of Jews in New York City, and you know what might happens if you let Germans to close to Jews. . . .. OK, I admit that is a dumb thing to say. But no more dumb than your proposal.

Oh YES this swine flu is an act of terrorism, why blow us up when they can use germs and now it is spreading?

Is the swine flu an act of terrorism by one of the horrid groups out there. People have said that it is not, but I do not believe it because even a suicide bomber dies when he blows up, so what easier way to take out people than to spread that swine flu. They have the bomb now, they have the technology WE gave them, so why not wipe everyone out. Haven't heard of a case of this in Saudi Arabia or Iraq? Mexico, New York and California are states that make money and what better place than to spread thru vacation country to us? Need answers NOW!

Of course it is Just like it was terrorism in the 1700's, and the other times way back in history when one plague or another killed thousands. Why on earth does some people's minds go into this area when anything comes up that is a little unexpected. How very sad that so many live their lives in fear, fear of anything. You have a problem, and I sincerely suggest that you do something about it before it completely takes over your life and you live in fear and terror for the rest of your days.

No. Hard to say what you are more misinformed about, terrorism or biology. First of all, terrorist groups have clear goals regarding their local situation, and their attacks reflect that. What would be the purpose of starting a disease that was going to spread world wide, and possibly mutate into something even more dangerous? Especially since the death rate would be far higher in the undeveloped parts of the world where most terrorist groups are found. "They want to kill us all" is propaganda. Secondly, there is no way on Earth that insurgents hiding in a cave somewhere could manufacture something as mind numbingly complex as a flu virus. It would require a world class research facility, which would be incredibly expensive and basically impossible to even build in the parts of the world where terrorist groups are based. Lastly, even if a government did plan on using bioterrorism, the flu is about the last virus they would choose. Why would you choose a weapon that's going to kill our people just as surely as it kills anyone else, and again, especially a weapon that might very well mutate into something even more dangerous in the field? A weapon which is more than likely to kill your researchers and escape into your own population before you can use it? Nope, this is a natural occurrence. In fact Mexico City is where one would expect something like this to arise, high population density including people living in close proximity with animals in unsanitary ways. It's a flu factory, plain and simple. And it spread to the US first because the US is next to Mexico and has a huge amount of cross border travel.

Its not terrorists. It's some dick that genetically spliced the three DNA's viruses (i mean come on, 3 different swine viruses from 3 different continents just happened to mix?) and then he let it loose on Mexico (probably to test it). Later on whoever created it is probably going to release it in a more important area, create a cure, and then sell the cure for billions of dollars. The reason the virus hasn't spread in the mideast is the same reason it hasn't spread anywhere else, people around there just haven't brought it back to the country...

If the swine fly has anything to do with being man made.. then it was made from the BIG 3. So you will get their flu shots and then get sick with side effects and pay them more $$ in their hospitals. Ignore the media... it is fear and control.

You just answered your own question. There is no doubt that I believe that this is an act of terrorism.Think about it, avian flu, s.a.r.s. ebola virus, hell, even a.i.d.s. This may be the new 9/11,but I digress.

What do you think of this reasoning for US being in Iraq and Afghanistan?
What do you think of this reasoning for US being in Iraq and Afghanistan?
The reasons the United states is in Afghanistan and the reasons they are in Iraq are two different stories. The US made a deal with Saudi Arabia, before, when they had become the most powerful oil country in the world, this is sometimes referred to as "The money laundering affair". The US got Saudi oil and Saudi Arabia got preference in international issues and even financial aid for financing Al Quida for their Afghan war against the Soviets. In turn for oil, the US turned their head and pretended not to know about all the horrible stuff the house of Saud was doing and terrorism they were financing. Later on, the US came to realize that Iraq has got an even larger oil reserve! So since US needs oil they tried to make a similar deal with Saddam like the one made during the Saudi money laundering affair. Since Saddam would not comply with US demands, the US had to find a reason to invade and get what they wanted by force. So the US decided to go and "free the Iraqi people from Saddam" and end his terroristic and cruel practices. While these are in fact, some would say, good enough reasons to invade, they were not the "real reasons". And so now the US is doing some good and trying to help the Iraqi people get back up on their feet and make their new government (one that will comply with US demands). In Afghanistan, the US is fighting the terrorism at the "source". They are going in and attacking the Taliban and trying to destroy them before they do even more horrible terroristic acts against innocent Americans and innocent people in other countries. At least that is what they say they are doing there, but you never know if there is, in fact, a different, "real" reason, that they are their, like there is in Iraq.
