Reply to Spain....Political Terrorism's First Victim in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Granted true..but I wrote this prior to the announcement that Spain would stay if a UN led mission in Iraq became a reality...as a note bout the a possible Russian contingent deployed into Iraq...well that would be not only the stupidest move in recorded history...it would also be the most naive....and would make the controversy over the possible deployment of Turkish troops a number of months back look like a school yard taunt...i.e. that would drive

terrorists are by no means soldiers....but that doesnt negate their very acts as nothing more than an act of war....if you have a problem coming to terms with that then your not alone...the UN has the same problem...but one which is being rectified by a redefining of the UN's deffinition of Act of War...might be your time to change your tune as well

Spain....Political Terrorism's First Victim in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Recently, the Spainish city of Madrid was rocketed by a seris of well times & coordinated explosions that tore through several train stations this past Thursday. In the wake of the bombings, 200 innocent civilians lay dead & over 1,400 more lay wounded. They were perhaps the worst acts of violence in Spain's recent history and a wake-up call for the world. While the blame for the bombings was initially laid at the doorstep of ETA ( Basque Sep

Reply to Terrorism, bombings hit Spain, European reaction in International JoeUser Forums

i congradulate you on this article..very well done....but one thing you might have also added which i think bears stating...is that many are divided over weather this is al-queda or eta act of terrorism....one thing that has begun to make the rounds is that spain and in a small part the u.s. may well be facing an extremist splinter goup of eta working in conjunction with al-queda and that does pose an even more alarming scenario.....its not far fetched

Iraqi Oil Vouchers for everyone... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Treating Terrorism as a Crime? or a War? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I have heard many a person agree for some unknown reason that Terrorism is a crime and as such be treated as one.... Funny but didnt Clinton do that with the World Trade Center 1 bombers...Why weren't leads followed that some of the agents investigating that case believed led to state sponsorship..?Did Clinton( i might despise him as president, never said he was dumb) have another agenda that was more pressing i.e. the Palistinian/Isreali peace pr

John Kerry gets foreign leaders nod! in Democrat JoeUser Forums

Dem. Candidate John Kerry has yet again put his foot in his mouth....this time a few days ago, John Kerry spoke out saying that numerous foreign leaders have quietly approached him that they want him to win the election and gave him silent support....of course he said this on the record..but interestingly enough off camera and mics...go figure.... since when did Kerry's support base include the French, the Germans, N. Korea and Iran?...Let's face it th
