any muslims here

[Australia]

again I don't refute that there are more than just Muslim terrorists, but I still say they account for the lion share of terrorist actions (bombings/killings).

Again, that depends on your definition of terrorism. Some people call Hamas freedom fighters. You may not agree. You may think they are crazy. But to arbitrarily dismiss them as lunatics does not solve anything, unless you support genocide.

whatever their motivation is... political, religious, or whatever personally isn't important to me.

And therein lies the problem. You give your government a free pass because you don't want to be bothered with the details. You live in the United States of America. It is your duty as a citizen to understand these issues. Men have fought and died for right to express your opinion, yet, you choose not to. Americans are such sheep.

Here's a statement for you to ponder. "Bread and circuses". Learn the meaning of that statement and you may being to realize why our government is not held accountable by the citizens.

for me death is death and the sooner they are stopped the better for all of us. I would say it is important for those militaries /governments who are trying to stop them to understand the differences.

Understanding the motivations is key to stopping it!

As far as Hamas being a terrorist organization... now that's a loaded question!

Is it?

first off d!pshit, while you are at college on mommy and daddy's dime... reading a few books and googling on your laptop... my grandfather fought in WWII, my daddy in Vietnam, and myself in Operation Desert Storm... so when you put your "money" where your mouth is... then come knock on my door junior.
Ponder that a guy like me's grandfather is in part to thank that you are speaking English today and NOT German.

I understand the lack of accountability by the government- you think you're the only one to notice this?

can you say sheep in German... you ungrateful mule. Books are great, but they are also just someone else's opinion... get out there and experience life and draw some of your own conclusions.

You college kids have the whole world figured out... lucky for us sheep huh? lol

 

[Australia]

College kid? I'm a 31 year old father of a beautiful little girl. Oh, and I worked my way through school. I have a very large family and my parents never gave me a penny for college. I had one great-uncle die at Pearl Harbor. He died on the USS Oklahoma. One of my grandfathers saw combat at Iwo Jima.

I take it you assume I'm an ivory tower liberal and that's why you went on your character assassination tirade. No, I'm just sick of this culture of ignorance in the US. Everyone is too busy rushing home to see the next episode of Lost or American Idol to spend 5 minutes actually learning facts. I found your statement that you don't care about the reasons to be offensive. Your sentiment is unfortunately very typical for Americans.

Bread and circuses.

Actually, it's not about ego at all. It's about seeing your country fall apart because people are too busy to take notice. I don't claim to have all the answers. I only claim to be searching for them. And when I see someone who has come to a flawed conclusion, I speak up about it. We're not talking about meaningless things, like the color of your blouse. We're talking about life and death. If this sort of discussion doesn't inspire passion, I don't know what will.

I apologize if I offended you, angelita_bonita. However, it was worth that price if it opened your eyes in any meaningful way.

First off, what's wrong with being college educated? At least you took the time to get an education and do something with your life besides hating other cultures.
Americans are very ignorant. When you travel around the world that's what people think about us and it's true. We don't know what's going on outside of the U.S. and what we DO know is what our media have told us, which is usually false and all propaganda.
