So are these republicans for the terrorists?

No, they are still the same republicans, following the same republican platform. Remember it's 2 months to elections. They all have to separate themselves from Liar #1. Then after elections, it'll be back to the usual follow the leader and party before country crud.

Do you understand the crux of the discussion that is ongoing? Specifically Article III in the Geneva Convention and what it relates to.

Yes. I wish Bush and Co. did as well.

In your opinion what doe sit pertain to - Article III that is?

I've got a feeling you have an unshakeable idea of what it means, and how it justifies that we can torture people while nobody else can.

What or how would you term the attacks of 9/11 and the murder of 3,000 Americans?

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(TonyPSchaefer @ Sep 18 2006, 09:09 AM) [snapback]321087[/snapback]</div>

You seem to be dodging my question. What would you term the event of 9/11 which killed/murdered 3.000 Americans on our home soil? I am very interested in your response. Thanks.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Alric @ Sep 18 2006, 09:43 AM) [snapback]321098[/snapback]</div>

I do not have an unshakable idea of what it means. I am asking you what you think it pertains to. My reading of it --- it pertains to civil wars and does not apply to conflicts that extend beyond a countries borders. Now your turn.

You might not have seen my response to your post...

I do not have an unshakable ides of what it means - after reading it I believe it pertains to civil wars and NOT conflicts that extend beyond the borders of a country. Hence, I do not see how it pertains to the discussions concerning interegation methods that everyone seems to be debating. How do you read Article III of the Geneva Conventions?

You know the terrorist attacks we have suffered on 9/11 & before, have made our great country fearful.
The terrorists have succeeded in thier mission to instil the fear that it will happen again... :mellow:

We have implemented all the security changes in airports, train stations & cruise lines, so what we are now inconvienyanced due to those security checks in the name of terror... So yes the terrorists have succeeded..
Granted they awakened the sleeping giant or at least most of it. The rest have been brought out of their 60s - 70s smoke clouds or thier children to again make the statments: make love not war, bring our children home, no war, peace, dont support the war & the president is to blame.. :lol: :lol:

Makes most of us sick :angry: but such is life and the freedoms we allow here in the great USA.. :mellow:

Tell me about it! I gave up on these guys when none could answer how the 9/11 attacks could have been prevented with the use of military intervention. However, post-9/11 its OK to attack Iraq and maybe Iran.

Cheers!

 

It's so sad after just 5 years. I watched the documentaries on TV on our 5th anniversary. I saw all the chaos and see how the innocent people died. It's was so sad....

But just after 5 days, I see people already forgot what had happened. People actually thinks the terrorists were right, people actually supporting them, and you people want to give them more rights.....

I hope you people think hard..and when they kill one of your friends or family... don't run around and look for help....

Terror does exist - your are being clever here not intelligent - i do not mean that in a bad personal way. Terror scares everyone who represents their target(s) - ask every Israeli today - they all feel exposed. And we need to talk about so we can all get on the same page - and that is the issue we face today - if we are not ALL on the same page - then the few will expose the many to horrific acts of terror that could have been minimized by acting uniformly. Israel is building the terror barrier because all of Israel wants it built - or the minority has been marginalized enough to allow for its construction. We may differ on how this war on terror is conducted - it is an act of foolishness not to recognize the threat and protect ourselves. We better all ingrain within all our minds that terrorists live - that they are Islamic based - and they operate using a system or culture we do not understand - that should be the focus - educating us on how Islamofascits operate - we have to hear terror terror terror, as long as there are terrorists - when we let our guard down when we do not all come together to protect each other - is when they will strike. I am indeed tired of burying innocent Americans killed by terror(ists).

That is why I was asking someone here about how they interpreted Article III of the Geneva Conventions - and have not yet gotten an answer. Unfortunately in a way, a lot of Americans were not touched by 9/11 directly - they would have much different opinoins for sure. The difference in Israel - is that given its small size - when terror struck it impacted a much larger % of the country. After a number of years of having INNOCENT Isareli's killed by terror they all got on the same page and acted like one - something we better do quickly - or at least quick enough to prevent Iran from going nuclear.

I have a sister-in-law who avoids watching, listening to, or reading the news . . . it's all too disturbing and frightening to her. She avoids it like the plague. So now she lives in her Pollyanna World . . . except now she is even more convinced that everything out there in the great unknowns are more disturbing and more frightening than they really are. She has terrorized herself!!!

TonyP, Sorry to hear your brain can not distinguish between real and imaginary.
If you are one of those who would rather not think about “it†- thereby making “it†non-existent to you - ENJOY!
Me personally, I don't hide from reality. :blink:
