I don't know what this has to do with cycling, but.....
As far as comparing this to any other war, what are you going to compare it
with? WW2? LOL Please. This is not a war, it is an invasion to put
someone in power to deal with us on oil. If you don't see that you are
blind my friend. We couldn't deal with Sadaam, so we overthrew their
government and are going to put someone in office that will deal with us.
What is even more sad than that is that we have very young American and
other countries solders getting killed for this. It makes me sick!
Now, you of course mention Hamas blowing up a bunch of kids on a school bus
to get people on your side or whatever. What if you were one of the many
Palestinians that had his home bulldozed by "the modern day ******" Sharon?
If the Jews didn't invade land that wasn't theirs, maybe there would be no
problems. I also find it interesting that we somehow justify a tank blowing
things up, but when a person blows himself up in protest and kills people,
that is terrorism. The Israelis have killed many Palestinian children as
well. Of course they say it was accidental fire or some such nonsense. The
US arms the Israeli's to the teeth and they have superpower weaponry and the
Palestinians have sticks and stones in comparison. This doesn't mean that a
tank is less terroistic than a person blowing themselves up. To be honest,
I feel that if the Israelis didn't take over peoples land/homes and make it
impossible for people to live, we may not have such a problem over there.
Of course the Jews have a big lobby in this country and they own Bush.. Now
that we have Bush in office he is making this thing a huge mess and spending
countless money on his oil interest. Just think how much research could
have been done with the billions he is spending on this so called war if he
put his efforts in finding alternative fuel. If we didn't rely on the oil,
we would have no reason to be over there. Well, that would be thinking into
the future and not the present, so that will never happen.
On good thing came out of this however. The idiots driving their H2's are
spending more money on gas. Not that they care probably. I mean they are
not very bright if they feel the need to drive a barge that weighs 6000 lbs.
Who knows, maybe some people will get tired of paying so much at the pump
and start riding bicycles more. If you believe that, then I may have a
bridge to sell you.
Enjoy,
