I think obama has no intention of reaching out to the Muslim world. With Hillary as SoS? That is a fantasy.
That said Chopra is 100% correct I only wish leaders would listen to him.

Coming AFTER Obama's election the attack doesn't make sense. The sub-text of what Chopra is saying is in line with I thought when the news first broke. Wouldn't put it pass Cheney and U.S. backed "special forces" to stage something like this to throw Obama's administration off balance. There is a theory going around that the whole intent of the neo-cons was, and is, to destroy the whole structure of government. While they were inside they did everything possible including perpetuate a climate of "terror" to undermine the whole fabric of government. Sorry if this sounds like another conspiracy theory but it isn't as far fetched knowing what we now know about the Bush gang.

11. There's also a theory going around that the Earth is 6000 years old |
|
and your theory somehow manages to be even more ridiculous than that.

America declares War on Deepak Chopra. The long time spiritual advisor is now considered a terrorist threat as he suggests to the international media that the War on Terror isn't working.

9. Yeah, it's rather puzzling |

10. What other human emotions should we declare war on? |
|
What about boredom? Let's launch a campaign starting in Alaska! First we hit 'em with fireworks and strip-dancers at midnight, then feral tigers and escaped convicts at noon! :woohoo:
Or lonliness? That one could be fun... :evilgrin:
No. Mob mentality. Definitley we should have a War on Mob Mentality. Now, we'd need something big to rally the troops around that one... Oh, wait... Huh. Get back to me tomorrow morning on that one.
