I'll cop to predictable hysterics, which I rather enjoy, if you cop to being a one note symphony.
"Are you going to argue that 9/11 was planned, and executed all within an 8 month span, all while Bush was in office? Otherwise stop bullshiting."
-Alphaboy
No. I'm arguing that Al Quaeda and the Taliban were in Afghanistan, that our President totally dropped that ball to pursue a personal vendetta, and that this action enabled and empowered terrorists more than any action of any other President. You may not agree with that argument, but it's hrdly bizarre. You might also say that bankrolling the Islamic fundamentalists who went on to become the Taliban as a hedge against the soviet union enabled terrorist, and so can spread the blame on Carter and Reagan, without whom their might be no Taliban. I hope I put it less hysterically this time. I know that didn't directly involve Israel and so it's virtually invisible to you.
""That said, no President has enabled terrorist more then Clinton. "
-Alphabetty
"we're talking about terrorist organizations as they relate to modern history,"
-Alphabits
Forgive my confusion. Also, if genocide and slavery don't fall under your deffinition of terror, again, forgive my confusion. Perhaps you'd like to define terror. I suggest something along the lines of "Terror is only the things I say it is."
"Thanks for the robotic sheep definition of terrorism"
-Alphadog
I beg your pardon. Perhaps you'd like to define it. Why not "Terrorism is I win all arguments."
"It's not about fear you dunderhead, it's about killing."
-Alphabot.
I'm not sure you should go with that. 'Cause if that were true, it might be called Killingism. Or, you know, war. And you should try not to say "BWAHAHAHHA". It makes you sound like some sort of horrid little teenage internet creep. Your not a teenager are you? Becaue if you are I'm sorryy I picked on you and your tunnel vision is developmentally apropriatte.
"the FBI and State Dept. definitions of terrorism don't include State sponsored acts,"
-AlphaRalphaBoulevard
I didn't know that, but it accounts for some of the lack coherency on the part of the administration. Does this mean that when we overthrew the taliban and toppled Sadaam, those were not parts of the WOT? And doesn't W talk prepetually about State Sponsored Terrorism. I don't think you should rely on the FBI or the Sate Department and for god's sake don't use a dictionary. State your own deffinition. We already know it's 'about killing' but that just doesn't seem to be helping you. Try "I Win!". It's a time honored internet technique favored by people who write "BWAHAHAHHA" to express their contempt.
"Aren't we talking about rogue organizations and guerilla armies?"
-Alpha? I don't even know a.
Okay, closer. "It's about killing by rogue organizations and guerilla armies" I'd add something about what makes a guerilla army different from a legitimate resistance or a revolution. What about "Guerilla Armies are the ones I don't like."
"You see no difference between Truman's atomic bomb, and Bin Laden's 9/11. It's a wonder your wife can kiss you with your head so far up your own ass."
-AlphaIWIN!
Here are the top two differences.
1.) Truman had a military context, a speciffic strategic goal and technology, all of which Bin Laden lacked. It is arguable (though entirely impossible to prove) that his action 'saved more lives than it ended' and so is morally acceptable.
2.) Truman killed lots and lots and lots more totally innocent people. And Truman blows Bin laden out of the water in the proportionate # of deaths that were children.
So you see, I do see differences. Do you see any similarities at all, or does your laser like focus preclude it entirely? It's a wonder you can kiss ... whatever the hell lets you kiss it... when you close with twadry little lines about peoples wives. You should have just written "BWAHAHAHHA" again. It would hve made you seem less of a net weiner.
Okay, now you write
"Yeah, whatever. This just confirms stuff I think about you that's obvious but I'll never put down in words because then everybody would realize I'm a hideous, narcisistic creep."
