its sick how they can look at America and say what a terrible place, and fail to see what they are doing? I mean seriosuly who on earth would want to live in the hell they wish to create! Sure we have plenty of problems, but how can they be so stupid to think that they can fix it by bombing us? That would only make us unite more and more till finaly we kill every moving thing from their homeland which I could do without.

What they are is just sickining.

"We call on the Arabs and Muslims to burn the land under the feet of the American invaders, especially our brothers in Saudi Arabia because this war is not against Iraq, it's against the Islamic nation," Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi told a rally in this impoverished shanty encampment.

Yet again they use the "Religion" card. Its always religion. No It couldn't possiblly be any of the other things they have done.

(anybody feel like writting up that list?)

I really don't care who anybody prays to, but if you burn down my house we got a problem.

I agree Cyclone! I mean seriously if the world was run by them we would all be in the dark ages and be constantly killing each other. Learning and love would be no more. Everything would be utter chaos!

And like Nunyadam said, they use Religion as their reason for being able to kill whoever they wish to. It seems like anyone that wants a few cheap suicide bombers and sheep farmers to fight for them just has to call a holy war on someone. I think Religion is important! I'm a Christian, and living my life with God first is the most important thing to me! But they have taken religion to basicly be a reason for killing everyone that doesn't conform exactly to their form. I doubt many of them have much of an education or they would probably look at their holy book and say you know we are not doing what this says! Instead they believe it means whatever their leader says it means!

Don't suppose you know any of the people that are part of these militant/religious/terrorist groups. They don't recruit stupid people for these things. They look for people who are willing, but during training they "weed out" all the stupid ones. So, it is very likely that many of the people who perpetrate these atrocities are quite intelligent, or atleast comparable to any person on this board.
Of course, some of the suicide bombers are just brainwashed through some form of sensory deprivation, and then trained for one specific thing: to go some place with a bomb strapped to their chest and press the button. So these people don't have to be smart, but of course they very well might be. So some of these people could just be kidnapped and brainwashed, some could be volunteers, and the rest are just willing to do anything to ensure a place in whatever form of afterlife they believe in.

The people who live in these middle-eastern countries really don't have access to mass media, and those who do are convinced (whether by subtle brainwashing made possibly by a series of suggestions or simply get convinced) that it is not true and is some form of propaganda.

It's unfortunate that the Western countries won't just come right out and say why they care so much about the Middle East: oil. I mean, of course there's the whole nuclear factor, and just the general fear of being blown up. If the president or somebody would just say this, i don't think these militant groups would be getting so many people who are willing to blindly follow their commands. Damn propaganda.
Our war against Iraq isn't even really against the country, but simply the leader and his loyal followers. He is a very maniacal guy, and could launch full-out war at any time on any other country... but of course the whole country would be completely obliterated within an hour of his launching, which is why he doesn't. The world in which we live is a very precarious place.

Your average Iraqi may well share that sentiment at the moment

Concerning this article, and this article only:

What is wrong with targeting an attacking and invading enemy army using amongst many other things, suicide bombers? I can understand this being unacceptable in certain situations, but why is not OK in a time of war?
