I need a little help on how to reply to this.
If you feel like testing your History knowledge? Please feel free to
take a
moment for this.
HISTORY TEST

Please pause a moment, reflect back, and take the following multiple
choice
test. The events are actual cuts from past history. They actually
happened!!!

Do you remember?

1. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and
massacred by
a. Olga Corbett
b. Sitting Bull
c. Arnold Schwarzenegger
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

2. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by:
a. Lost Norwegians
b. Elvis
c. A tour bus full of 80-year-old women
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

3.During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by:
a. John Dillinger
b. The King of Sweden
c. The Boy Scouts
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

4. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by:

7.In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by:
a. Scooby Doo

c. Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

8. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by:
a. Richard Simmons

c. Michael Jordan
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

9. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by:
a. Mr. Rogers

problems

12. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by:
a. Bonnie and Clyde
b. Captain Kangaroo
c. Billy Graham
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

Nope, .........I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling,
do
you?

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics
intent
on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to
profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of
80-year-old
women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret
agents
who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old
Congressmen
with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe
Foss,
but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because of
profiling.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Allreds
and
other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to
thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves - if they have
any
such sense.

As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put
it,
"Stupid is as stupid does."

Come on people wake up!!!

Keep this going. Pass it on to everyone in your address book! Our
Country
and our troops need our support!

8. I like your response better
Why do you hate America? My God these idiots that are so in favor of profiling are the most stupid people in the world. I would not want to be within 100ft of most of these so called Christians when they die as the sucking sensation as they are sucked below (as in the bad guy in the movie Ghost)will be huge.

24. Jayna Davis is peddling a crock of crap, and judging from her site
only the most xenophobic of the "conservatives" take her seriously.
Really...if she really had credible evidence Iraq was behind OKC, do you really think shrub wouldn't have jumped all over it?

17. what kind of timeframe are we working with?
i can't help right now because i'm...well i'm at work, but obviously not working.
but chomsky writes about this in either "necessary illusions", or "towards a new cold war"

i can look up the specifics tonight and get back to you, but i know that #5 was in retaliation to an israeli attack in which a palestinian man in a wheelchair was run over by a tank. intentionally.

i think the thing that he stresses in his book is that the incidences of terror are mostly perpetrated by us, or our puppet regimes, and that the only terror we think occurs (thanks to the media), is the few and isolated incidences where americans are attacked.

so maybe we can attack back with "how many tons of small arms ammunition were shipped to Nicaragua in 1983 by the US gov't, and how many people were exterminated with said ammo with the complicity of the US government, US military advisors"
A. 81 tons/ 3 people
B. .5 tons /3,000 people
C. 2 tons/5 million people
D. hard to say, gov't documents haven't been declassified yet/ still haven't uncovered all the mass graves
or
"George Bush and his family are socially and financially connected to which of the following oppressive regimes that are universally despised by followers of Islam"
A. Israel
B. Saudi Royal family
C. Ahmed Karzai
D. all of the above

25. Howard Zinn and Gore Vidal have some good books
"Perpetual War" by Gore Vidal and "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn would have some fairly good counter examples of how certain US interest have leveraged the military to keep foreign brown people and working people in the US in line.

Zinn's work is mostly domestic policy and Vidal's work is almost exclusively about war. I don't have an especially good reference for examples of the West crapping on the Middle East but there are pleanty of "white people do horrible things too" examples.

I'll also echo the vote for serial killers and recommend religious fanatics Jonestown (posion koolaid), Branch Davidians (Waco), et. al.

26. Iraqi women and children are not Muslim male extremists mostly between the
17 and 40. Nor are many many of the males between the ages of 17 and 40.

Kill Muslim extremists? Okay, if we must. Those who live by the sword are required to die by it. Innocent civilians as acceptable collateral damage? Not acceptable, ever, under any circumstances, IMHO.

One or more bad guys may have died in the WTC disaster. That will never make that terrible mass murder acceptable. The same underlying principal applies to us in Iraq.

27. So concerned are we to find terrorists
that airport security is happily groping women's breasts for secret weapons of destruction. I suppose they might be mistaken for warheads at first glance.
