They CREATED Al Qaeda

[Magical]

To fight the Soviets, etc.

So they may want to think carefully about what they enact regarding supporting terror groups.

Its all a fucking RUSE.

Like projecting their own internal paranoia on their citizens will rid them of their own stench.

The more one seeks security, the more insecure one becomes.

Where the HELL is ANYONE with some wisdom ?

Bunch of mealy mouthed fucking cowards hiding behind their big ole titles and secret police.

For christ's sake, you assholes, we know the game. We have your playbook.

WE DO NOT SUPPORT VIOLENCE IN ANY FORM NOR DO WE SYMPATHIZE WITH ANYONE WHO DOES. That includes YOU.

We are adults. That's why talking was invented.

3. T H A N K S for the Welcome

I come in peace and wisdom and light a candle in the darkness and burn the fear away with courage in the knowledge that truth will overcome.

I walk in the footsteps of the wise ones of history who's enduring messages have transcended time.

The messengers of war and domination were the likes of Hitler.

The messengers of peace, courage, and love were the likes Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and The Beatles.

Surely, we shall not listen to the messengers of war.

2. Saddam Hussein too

If they didn't create him, they made him what he was.

4. Slam poetry.

You know what, this would make a great slam poem.

5. Go ahead...

I own nothing.
Words are a wind that flows thru me.
If the spirit moves you, follow it.

8. Our xenophobic zeal has created much

Either real or half imagined, all of it just becomes dust on a history book shelf when it really gets examined. Anybody that knows anything about friendship will tell you that becoming a Friend is just about impossible not to do when you personally have lived with them at close quarters for any reasonable amount of time.

The world is full of contempt, ignorance and self-indulgence, mine and yours and just everybody else's. Thanks for the candle, i will try not to carry it in haste :hi:

9. Some argue AQ was an ally, and then "blowback" occurred;

supposedly an unintended consequence.
But - looking at history - blowback is pretty much an inevitability, and thus completely predictable.
