While the term idiology seems to be complete it is actually an illusion to the entire matter of terrorism, hate and fanaticism.
&quot;Why do so many people hate the nation of Israel?&quot;  &quot;Why do so many Arab speaking nations simply refuse to acknowlege the mere existence of Israel as a soveriegn nation&quot;  Then again, even some European nations also subscribe to this.  How can the leader of Iran say the Holucast never happend and still remain in power?  Especially when he really means that the slaughter of millions of Jews isn&#039;t a bad thing.
Now ask yourself one more question: &quot;Why are people so interested in accepting the lies over the truth?&quot;
The same forces the motivate terrorists are the same forces that motivate all governments.  Greed, Hate of the Jews, and hatred of all things Christian.
Even Christians and Jews are numb to the real sources of the attacks.  Any organization that does not acknowledge the existence of God and the sacrifice of His Son on the Cross, becomes and instrument of Satan.
But how would they know?  They don&#039;t even accept that God exists, claiming we climbed out of a cess pool and some how, evolved into thinking individuals with brain capacities that defy evoloutionary thinking.
As long as you fight any war to secure your own Rights, you will lose because you&#039;re fighting the war Satan wants you to fight when the real prize is men&#039;s souls.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While your discussion on details leading into terrorism are thorough, but omits a critically important detail.

IT HAS BEEN COMMON KNOWLEDGE FOR YEARS.Ask - say -  a Canadian, a German, a South African, or South American,
and they can tell you all about it.What&#039;s mind numbingly confusing for non-Americans, is HOW, HOW,
HOW COME you guys haven&#039;t known this for decades?We had airline security checks in EU for years, but you had nothing.I remember watching the news here in early August 2001, and
Osama says &quot;We&#039;re going to attack the US, and it&#039;s going to be a
very high profile target&quot;. First thought.. the empire state building.
Something bigger than last time. A plane?
It doesn&#039;t take a genius to figure it out.
Some bigmouth dude was posting a &quot;just nuke &#039;em&quot; message, and I pointed
out to the guy that people are basically the same size the world over,
and therefore, everyone is potentially a target on that basis.9-11 was awful. I stayed in bed for days, too depressed to get up.In hindsight, I think your media news reporting, and your educational
systems are way messed up.In my little experience, I think that Americans know far more about
Geology than Geography, more Americana than history, and that&#039;s a fatal flaw that needs to be fixed. It&#039;s a danger to your security.Furthermore, I think that a free independent news media needs to be
set up. From what I&#039;ve seen, the Daily Show is where you guys get most
of your news. They need characatures, and scapegoat your politicians.
But guess what?Who&#039;s the president of China? What about Japan? Germany? Where&#039;s Malawi?
Millions of Africans starved in the 80s, while America campaigned for
jobs at home, and farmer support.Fair enough, we all have to live, but you guys just don&#039;t get the same
news over there. Everyone gets your info, but you don&#039;t get ours.
That&#039;s a major major disadvantage.Anyway, I hope America gets it right this time. Really, I do, I do.
The world is a multi-lingual, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, and
multi-political entity, and if you&#039;re stuck with a monocultural
environment, you become more like a modernised Amish-like society.Just cos you can get Korean food, Wanton Soup, Pizza, Jalfrezi,
Czech Beer, German Sausage, doesn&#039;t mean anything. It&#039;s a false sense
security.In my humble opinion, I think you need some ears, and listen to the
world. Especially France - instead of bashing them, just listen.
You may not agree, but they give a good counter-argument to
many things. Politically they&#039;re differently set up.
That&#039;s all - no biggie.Hope that helps.Em</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a well constructed point. Clever,insightful, BUT</p><p>IT&#8217;s common knowledge to anyone who lives outside the US.<br

It is not foreign policy, not economic privation, but radical islam itself that is engendering the current &#039;bad things&#039;. If one listens to what the clerics are saying (try memri.org, or Laura Mansfield for translations) -- certainly this is a war that started a long time ago, well before the USA was a wink in Washington&#039;s eye.People blowing themselves up is not due to UK or USA policy, I can repeat. If so, then after WWII and the creation of Palestine, why haven&#039;t Jews blown themselves up in German restaurants? Why wasn&#039;t there rampant crime during the Great Depression in the USA? etc etc ...Radical Islam has an entirely different world view, and a lack of rational means to resolve conflict with other faiths (witness the Pope&#039;s recent fiasco). Conversion to religion of peace and love by gunpoint should be explanation enough about who we are dealing with.Problem for me is, it&#039;s hard to find someone here &#039;in the west&#039; (as I am living in New Zealand that&#039;s a little geographically weird, since I&#039;m about as far east as one can get), but WHO can &#039;intelligently&#039;, and necessarily internationally, deal with the worldwide problem of radical islam and nuke-oriented oppressive dictators (North Korea, e.g)?While I can understand to some extent what, though, does appear to me to be some exaggerated opinion of threat upon civil liberties (don&#039;t even get me started on the ACLU), in the States, I find very hard to resolve what appears to be fears projected upon Republicans.  One the whole, all those I am meeting &#039;there&#039; are terribly sane, polite, have a really good sense of humor, and are full of compassion (for, yes, those who can benefit from compassion -- for radical islam, compassion is perceived as weakness).Anyway, these are issues of history, and have nothing to do with Democrats and Republicans, or Libertarians. The US did not create the Koran (for goodness sake!) What the US could use is a little unity and less stupid blame back and forth in the MSM.  It looks ridiculous from outside the States, and (as a US Citizen), I realize there really are very good hearted people (even among Republicans). This polarization about value, due to differences on decisions about policy is, at best, fruitless. Everyone is preaching to the choir.What could help is a unified, international coalition, hmmm, of &#039;the willing&#039;. Much of that is in place, which I&#039;m very glad for. Isolationism or some completely neutral stance is not a viable option for any country who is a contributing international citizen -- at least not from where I see things.By the way, there is an egroup, with probably mainly Republicans on it (I haven&#039;t asked), but for those who do see value in &#039;a&#039; war on terror/radical islam, our efforts are to  Take Action (not dialog endlessly, not blame, nor to be so intelligently cynical that the only option is to criticize Bush).If you want to take action, with folks who are interested to ensure that Liberty, internationally, stays or becomes available to as many of humanity as possible, send a email to 910-subscribe@yahoogroups.comTwo blog posts have prefaced this, The Emperor is Naked on Gates of Vienna, and on Infidel Blogger. (If you don&#039;t &#039;like&#039; those blogs, then don&#039;t bother -- and, my experience? These are severely nice folks who are committed to action, in the realm of politics (all countries), education (a project underway), and in tackling the MSM at its roots, etc. See my blog for links and a few more hints, if you like. The egroup is private; a planning group, not another blog to share what we all already agree upon.Around the world, in poor and affluent areas, hearts and minds are looking, I think, &#039;to be won&#039;, to be won over by a vision that is virtuous and that has at a core liberty and a way to create a beautiful future, together.Anyway, the 910@ egroup is just some of us who have decided it&#039;s time to coordinate the blogs that are working for these freedoms, which we all DO recognize.god speed folks, (a non-denominational salutation)
VicktoryaPS:  Sorry for the length! However, I&#039;ve been reading through  the Libertarian sites and blogs, and have realized, that as much as I &#039;want to be a Libertarian&#039; - in terms of agreeing with most premises, I&#039;m pretty sure I&#039;m not.

They appear to not be able to or are unwilling to control there dogs. We see your dogs shitting in other neighbors yards and wonder if we are next, maybe the dogs have there eyes on our backyard and its rich digging ground.
Mind you we have a softer but similar problem of apathy at the polls and basically minority groups/dogs getting into power, not really what democracy was supposed to be.Solution might be to change the democracy out with the untouchables and in with the citizens, more paid civil servants that have binding employment contracts and can be fired for illegal activities and fewer politicians who are by any account immune to the legal system and will change it to suit there needs.
In order to make it work we could use or electronic bank accounts as a voting system that could enable large groups of  citizens to vote on issues from local road expansion to invading other countries for profit. That way the civil servants could base there actions on real opinion in gathered in minutes if needed.
A double check could be done to make sure the electronics systems are not being manipulated by doing smaller random physical polls in the streets.
If I trust the system with my money(sort of anyway) why note my vote.
take out a few dollars and vote of a few local and federal issues of your choice, you could have a digg style list of popular political issues and vote on them.
Time for change in the western world and our old democracy is apathetic and corrupt and has very little to do with representing the people on the street.
Who many people do you know that want to bomb, torture and steal from others in order to keep there own family in luxury?just my thoughts viva the revolution.Matt in the North.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Up here above you in Canada we are beginning to worry about our neighbors.
