    You forgot to mention your child being badly burned by an invading army and you are pretty much defenseless to stop it. What would you do about it? I'm not saying it's right by any means but it's time people stopped demonizing these people and starting trying to understand their problems.

    Its time we stop trying to understand the un-understandable, and just give them all their wishes. Send them to allah, let them go meet their maker. Its what they want anyways.

    Act like a demon, and get demonized. I do understand that the U.S. presence is a huge factor here, and I concede that its more than past time to leave that place ... But the fact that most Iraqis do not become suicide bombers is worth our focus as well. Terrorism is not a unicausal phenomenon. Its not just about oppression or occupation, anymore than it is JUST about someone's personality or mental state.

    How do you figure? My child gets burnt, so let's go commit suicide and take a bunch of my fellow Iraqis with me?

    That's not how most peoples' minds work.

    I figure the national intelligence agencies and generals report that our conduct in Iraq is fueling a worsening of the terrorism problem, and spawning new recruits.

    Well then the same demonizing should go to the occupying party as well for acting like demons...only when they kill they do it in an 'acceptable' way, whatever that means.

    The Israeli government has admitted for the first time that it used controversial phosphorous bombs during its 34-day war campaign in Lebanon. Cabinet Minister Jacob Edery confirmed that the army had used the bombs to attack "military targets" during its war with Hizbollah in July and August. Previously, Israel had said the bombs had only been used to mark out targets. During the conflict, doctors in Lebanon reported treating civilians who appeared to have been hit by the shells, which leave their victims with severe chemical wounds that can be fatal.

    Shooting random rockets into Israeli cities can be fatal.

    That's exactly what they're saying about you. If we're so "Great" we should be able to see beyond this and stop the cycle. But narrow minded people on both sides are too clueless to do it.
