Osama bin Laden warned Iraq's Sunni Arabs against fighting al-Qaeda and promised to expand the terror group's holy war to Israel in a new audiotape Saturday, threatening "blood for blood, destruction for destruction." http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/12/29/binladen.message.ap/index.html What do you think? What is the world coming to? It seems like there is coming a mighty war because we will not conform. I wonder how long we all have left. It is a scary world to be living in. What are your thoughts about this?

I tell you that if Osama bin Laden was not so scarey, I would be laughing. Unfortunately, there are a ton of people who actually believe in bin Laden and the hate he spews. As time goes by, this is going to be a big issue for freedom loving people everywhere. But there is a way to win. This way is through narrowing the gap of poverty through out the world.

A full stomic will not stop hate, The United States is one of the biggest givers to Hunatarian needs and we are still hated, Hunger is not the couse of striff. Did Al Gore tell you that? The couse of Hate is Hate. feeding them wont make them love us, given them our money wont make them love us, only make us poorer. Wealth is not something that happens to lucky people. The reasons for poverty is A) the leaders of that country are corupt and hord the wealth to themselves, B) they are just waiting around for another handout with no ambition to go out and creat their own weaklth, and C) They have no means to creat welth. It is only C that we can help, by educating them and helping them receive the materials to abtain welth. I am not attacking you But the idea that if only everyone was equily poor everything would be okay, and wealthy people only have wealth becouse they are lucky. You are oviously a liberal thinker, try to see it this way, I work hard for every dime the gov lets me keep and they always want more. The problem is they waiste it giving it to their friends to reserch pig feet or some other rediculous pet project to scam the tax payers out of their cash. And then some money goes to the "poor" who drive around in a better car than me and usely have a nice roll of cash, who don't have to do anything eccept set on their cash untill the next payoff comes in the mail, and all they have to do is keep one party in power, and they say this person isn't paying enough taxes! Give me more of the money he worked for!!!! I've had it. Now I know their are some people who realy need help, some that could never be able to work. I don't mind helping these people, they need my help. But why should the rest of these people who are able to work but just don't want to get one dime of my money?

Wow, that is the first time that I have been called a liberal. But I think you took this out of context, especially since I am a three time Iraqi War Veteran.

I think ole Binnie's influence is waning. The Arab people are turning against him, because his Tactics kill more Arab people that the sworn enemy.These people are not stupid and they have caught onto Bin Laden. His days as an Al-qaeda leader are coming to an end.

The world ahd always been a scary place.The problems that beseige us now are not unlike the problems that plagued our elders. Their problems seem so trivial to us now but that were as burdensome to them as ours are to us now. This is something that we to not lose sight of. Our problems are solveable and can be fixed with well thought out and intelligent answers. The doomsday sayers need to stop.This is not the end of the world. We are already at war and have been at war for large portions of our history but we must maintain our dignity and steadfastnest as a country and never never conform to the wants and desire of our eniemies

This only proves that he is desprate. He hopes to make Iraqis afraid to fight against him and make them beleive they are fighting against Islam. And by attaking Isriel he hopes to get popular suport back and an all out battle against the west by Islamic States. This is an act by a man whos back is aginst the wall. What the terroest want is a Country, They had Afganastan, They wanted Iraq, Now it appears they are trying to gain controle of Pakistan. With a country and a standing army and God forbid Nuclear weapons they could realy put presure on other Islamic countries to listen to them. I hope they do not attac Isriel becouse I know Isriel will retaliate where ever they could and it may start another Arab Isrieli war.
