If that 70% is from a poll, they can be made to get any outcome you want. I don't know anyone here who thinks Iraq was responsible, I'm sure there were some confused people who did.

My answer to your second question is no.

Again I never said there were no terrorist groups that weren't Muslim, my point is there are millions and millions of Muslims which increase the odds tremendously. Sheesh.

as Matra said, u must be a FOX-ist

you hafta consider many other groups that aren't muslim, but are still big terrorist organizations. There are Christian based terrorist organizations such as the KKK, and Army of God which has been a big part in many abortion clinic bombings. Another group to consider would be FARC in Colombia, which has thrown the whole country into a civil war. FARC control billions of dollars through the cocaine (and related drugs, such as crack) trade.

Please read my other posts above, thanks. You guys are putting me in a box when what I'm doing is giving Muslims the benefit of doubt.

No, you statement isnt correct, 99.9% of terrorists ARENT Muslim and the only reason you are seeing more terrorist that ARE Muslim lashing out is because America, the bullshit country, has decided to unjustifiebly invade a soveriegn nation. Dont tell me Saddam was evil and it was saving the people because if that was the case then the US should have been in the Congo, Sudan, Rwanda, or Sierra Leone a LONG time ago. DeBeers and other diamond companies import conflict diamonds from Sierra Leone and the government lets it slide, and thats supporting terrorism by the way, because its bringing revenue into the country...

Your link clearly states:

This directory of para-states is not a list of terrorist organizations, and is not constructed to supplement or complement the list of terrorist organizations of the US Department of State. The guide intentionally casts a wide net, and includes both the nasty and nice.
Nice try.

Why would I say we invaded Iraq to save people? Are you going to start putting words into my mouth to make your arguments? Show mw where I was discussing Iraq please. You and Nota brought up Iraq not me.

But I'm interested in your assertion that "the US should have been in the congo, Sudan etc." Are you saying it's okay to invade a country as long as it's one you approve of?

Dino, the original poster DID SAY "if that's OK then" prefacing the part you snipped above.

Puts the whoel thing into a different context and your comment deliberately sounds provocative.

THat's why avoidgin reading and creativley snipping from posts causes discussions to spiral into abuse.

He was posing the rhetorical question if Iraq was OK then why wasnt' their "contribution" in the others ??

Rhetorical or not the question is silly because you can't compare Iraq and it's relations with America to those other mentioned countries. He's comparing actions taken in interest and defense re Iraq to saving people etc. He asserted the 'saving the people' context, who knows why. Completely different circumstances are at play.

and yet many of the SAME circumstances are also at play.
Selectively choosing the "circumstances" for intervention has been the biggest issue raised by GW2.
I would suggest that is precisely why the point was raised and is valid.
By exploring and ratinalising the DIFFERENCES gives greater insight than just seeing the justifications in each case and attempting to tag them as "different".

It's on a par with seeing the strengths of Ferrari and Corvette rather than just "fanboy" supporting each car.
