of the United States and killed 17 innocent people, including women and children? What do you think would be the reaction of people like O'Reilly and Limbaugh?

4. Do you really think only 17 would be killed if they COULD reach us? |
|
America as defined by the BFEE sets no value on human life, especially on the lives of non-Christian non-whites. And any attack in the future will give them reason to try and destroy all of those who do not fall into the Christian/white category.

6. Well, I ask this question because I'm shocked at the lack of outrage over |
|
the incident in Pakistan where we didn't get Zawahiri. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

This has been going on for years. Where is the outrage re the slaughter of Iraqi citizens. Where was the outrage in Chile, Argentina, Nicaragua, El Salvador, etc. etc. Look at the mess in Haiti? Who do you think is behind it and why?

5. We'd cringe in terror and demand Bush revoke the Constitution and |
|
impose martial law so we'd be safe from the bad people.

7. Attack a country that had nothing to do with the missile strike |
|
Just a guess, but take it to the bank.

I agree, if the missle came from Saudi Arabia, we would attack Northern Ireland, or perhaps Quebec

8. They'd get real mad.... perhaps dig up an old |
|
cheerleader megaphone... make a "we're gonna get the people who flew the planes speech" (They are dead) invade a country that wouldn't allow a gas pipeline to be put through it.... bomb the crap out of another country that never lifted a finger against us.... and call it a war on terror. Your mileage may vary, offer not valid in all 50 states, some restrictions may apply.... such as INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE GENEVA CONVENTION.

Thats it!!! They would find some way to make it Clintons fault. Or those"partisan democrats"[like the repubs arent as partisan as anyone can get} . Or say that the peace activists caused it by giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

11. They'd scream about war crimes and demand punishment. |

Americans, of course, don't commit war crimes, or torture, or anything else that is naughty.

12. Why does this kind of logic go unnoticed by the MSM? |

Are we the only ones who see this realistically?

Then blame all Democrats, Gays, women, the Constitution, France, abortion doctors, various animal rights groups, and anyone else they can think up. They certainly wouldn't blame the chimp-o-maniac and his failings as a 'leader'.

18. Well, they would say that its the other country's right, because they |
|
felt that the US was a threat and that they have a right to defend themselves however they see fit.
Or, wait, no... they wouldn't say that.
Probably because they are hypocrites.

22. Bush would strut out and say we were attacked .... |
|
and in so many words say I told you we are in a war on terror. Next move would be send out all of his minions to every part of the media and , tell us this is the reason why he needed to spy on us( which would make no sense,because we were attacked) then he would set up a scenerio on how they attacked this country. Next scare the other countries to get behind him this time and then start a draft and bomb different areas of the world and say he is protecting us and our freedoms.
