The terrorist

You know, the word gharb means west in Arabic, and ghareeb means strange. These two words have a linguistic connection to eachother. The west is strange and the far west is even stranger.

About Bush's Famous "you are with us or with the terrorists", and i will put forward the logical way of thinking, you have to look at the context in which he said it, terrorists attack his country with a terrible blow, he only knows that those who executed this attack and those supporting them are wrong, and that the ideology behind such an attack can not be other then wrong. So he wishes to act against these people because they pose a threat, he may have wondered why but he does not see his nation deserving of such hatred and enimosity. Maybe he knew that a terrorist attack would happen, and maybe he and others even allowed it to happen, maybe he held the view that such an attack would happen anyway so he might aswell let it happen in this way and afterward act against those who justify this in their efforts to destroy of The US before they get their hands on a nuclear bomb and hit the US with that. I personally do not believe you should let a terrorist attack happen because of such considerations, but it is understandable, especially when there are other considerations also like oil. I believe that if one knows a terrorist attack will happen they should stop it, that to me is the right way of conduct, and if they attack with a nuclear bomb eventually which might have happened or might happen or not......it is difficult because alot of people in the US will call for a violent response with the use of nuclear bombs as an option, because they simply do not understand why people would want to destroy their free nation which fought for the liberation of other nations under opressors like Hitler, they know the history that their forefathers fought for their independence and freedom against the British rule and now face others who wish to destroy them and put the world under their opression(religious fundamentalism in this case)

I hope you do not take this wrongly.

I hope you do not take this wrongly.

I can't take everything you say, wrongly. Whenever you say anything worth cheering, I am the first one to shout congrats. I agree with your very just analysis. Just hope somehow the world becomes a wee better place. Some signs are appearing.
