But they are too cowardly to even do that. Yet you call them freedom fighters. You're right, they are fighting against freedom.

One more try, stevo....you have selective memory. The problem with having that, for you, is that you are unable to connect the sequence of historial events. They do not exist, unrelated, in a vacuum. You expressed objection to suicide bombers targeting wedding parties of innocents. Your own government forces have done the same thing. The perceptions of the surviving victims of those attacks, and the perceptions of the society that they live in, have memories of those events etched into their psyches.
Your selfrighteousness is symptomatic of the obstacles that inhibit our progression away from a cycle of intervention and violence that has plagued U.S. foreing policy as far back as the Mexican war in the 1840's.
You attempted to shape opinion of the effects of suicide bombers, and I remind you that you come from a house that is not clean enough to qualify you to judge, no matter how high the saddle is that you picture yourself riding on. Your indignation is as naive, un/misinformed, or misplaced as the collective indignation was to the hostage taking at the American embassy in Tehran was, in 1979. Americans failed to ruminate on the fact that the CIA had engineered the <a href="http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB126/">overthrow</a> of the democratically elected prime minister of Iran, 26 years before, in 1953, and had installed the brutal regime of the Shah to do the bidding of British Petroleum and othe multi-national oil companies.
Violence begets violence, stevo, it solves nothing. Your indignation about the violence dished out by interests in opposition to the US agenda and.....RECORD....is misplaced.
