Look!!! Watch my TV – it’s showing a living legend – a great man. Here comes the man, the one and only George Jungle. He is the head of the big nation called Unspeakable Shameless Abattoir – abbreviated USA. CNN’s latest report is indicating that the bombardment of Afghanistan has now come to an end, having achieved its objectives: To vent out anger by reaction basing it on revenge rather than fighting or eradicating international terrorism. It is estimated that ten thousand people have been killed by bombs, and another million have died after being hit by falling sacks of flour. More people are killed by relief food than bombs. The whole country is now flattened and deserted.

I’m now sitting in my specious rocking chair sipping tea and envying at what manner of use of grief as a cover to further political ends by the Jungle administration. The man really stood up to the occasion and met the expectation of the majority of the citizen’s of Unlimited Savage Administration. Right now he is being asked a question:

Reporter: “So having achieved the go of the mission, what is you piece of advice to the nations Mr. President?”

George Jungle: “If a criminal breaks into your house and rapes either your wife, daughter, mother, or sister, you have to react by going out to rape the female members of the criminal's family.”

Reporter: “Waaauh!!!”

George Jungle: “Yes!!! Yes!!! Make no mistake about it, the Unspeakable Shameless Abattoir is a slaughter house for all evil does. We smoked them out of their holes and sent them straight to hell”


The Report leaves George Jungle and approaches a spectator.

Reporter: “What is your name and what’s your comment young man”

Spectator: “My name is Double Shalom and I’m from the dark scary beautiful continent. The Unspeakable Shameless Abattoir’s foreign policy affects the rest of the world and thus it cannot just be left to Unspeakable Shameless Abattoir‘s people alone to comment on much less decide upon! The Jungle administration is really bushy and primitive. I think to ask some countries to cooperate in destroying the devil Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda demon network as well as the unfurling of the international system that finances this network is not exactly what one can call multilateral and consultative. What happened is not a result of a collective decision by the community of nations. It was a largely sole conservative Republican Jungle-Administration none consultative but informative act. The nations were just informed of what measure the Jungle administration was to undertake and was happily and eagerly joined by the Unison Killer – UK sometimes known as Unruly Kingdom.

Oh look! look! My TV is showing something new: latest reports are that thirty cruise missiles have flattened Florida, after satellite photos identified the Florida Bulls Stadium as an Al Qaeda training camp. Indeed technology, in this panorama, is the pioneer of self-inflicting ecological problems.

A surface-to-surface guided missile, which had been programmed to seek out evildoers, has lodged in the throat of George Jungle.
Hah!Hah!Hah!. Really, it takes a wise man to find himself.

If the two-week bombardment of Afghanistan is what we call 'war on terrorism' then my earlier assertion that the Bush administration has 'tunnel vision' on this issue remains true. I say so because this is a reaction based on revenge rather than on a wide ranging internationally coordinated effort to fight terrorism.
War is always hard to justify especially where possible alternatives to war exist. When you are as powerful and as sophisticated as the USA with ample possibilities of seeking other avenues, war is a primitive way of acting. Remember how the USA went and snatched one Noriega from Panama to go and face justice in the USA. Is it impossible for the USA to get bin Laden without flattening an already impoverished nation?

To argue in this way does not mean one is insensitive to the evil of terrorism. Neither does it mean that one is without revulsion to the carnage of September 11, 2001. What I contest is the use of grief as a cover to further political ends by the Bush administration. An illustration of this is the heinous crime of rape. Listen gentlemen, if a criminal breaks into your house and rapes either your wife or daughter or mother or sister, you should not react by going out to rape the female members of the criminal's family.

Shalom! Shalom!
Ever-loving,
Potpher

I didn't realize they have Saturday Night Live in your part of the world.George is long gone,but then I guess news travels slowly in your part of the world.Actually George was cleaning up Clintons mess when he refused to accept Bin-Laden from the Pakistanians. Your hero's have a morbid sense of humor when it comes to chopping the heads off inocent people.
I assume you find that hilarious also.
And your rape scenario is pure poppy crock.What I oppose is a country that always plays the victim.Look in your own back yard at the millions that are being slaughtered before condemning our actions.Remember to remove the log from your own eyes before casting aspersions on the USA.May God bless you wherever you are.

What is the root of terrorism?

The causes of terrorism are poverty and injustice. Aggrieved people resort to violence recruiting poor youths promising them nice things. If only poverty and injustice can be addressed, the world will continue to suffer violence.
Golden Rule in Islam takes the form of “Do unto others as they have done unto you.” and not as in Christianity which takes the form of “Do unto others as you would want them do unto you.” There is little or no room for forgiveness in Islam. In any case, what can you expect from a religion that believes Jihad is its path???Equally, the Jews and the Americans are at fault. They fuel back the violence. An illustration of this is the heinous crime of rape. If a criminal breaks into your house and rapes either your wife, daughter, mother, or sister, you do not react by going out to rape the female members of the criminal's family.
The trouble is that a Jew will do anything to survive. I say so because this is a reaction based on revenge rather than on a wide ranging internationally coordinated effort to fight terrorism.
War is always hard to justify especially where possible alternatives to war exist. When you are as powerful and as sophisticated as the USA with ample possibilities of seeking other avenues, war is a primitive way of acting. Remember how the USA went and snatched one Noriega from Panama to go and face justice in the USA? Is it impossible for the USA to get bin Laden without flattening an already impoverished nation? The human casualties in Gaza is too much just like it was too much in Afghanistan.
Is it not unfair for the Jews to use USA government they control to create wars in the middle east?
True, but what do you expect them to do? The bible says Jews will be in exile and will be hated by all people. They are merely trying hard to survive. Whether we like it or not, the Jews are a chosen people and whatever they touch it prospers. Why? Because the Bible says “I will bless you even in those nations where you will be in exile. And I will gather you back even as the hen gathers its chicks” I know the Jews have committed countless atrocities against other people. Here at home, we fought them when they were camped in Southern Rhodesia helping an oppressing imperialist. We just have to get along with them. They have their weaknesses but I believe their strengths are greater. And as a nation we ought to align ourselves with them to be blessed as there is a standing curse for all nations that hate Israel.
That is Bible prophesy my friend. Most people hate Jews. But we should not be a part of statistics. As a Christian, you are more knowledgeable than a Jew is as at now and so certain things ought to be avoided.
A Jew will do anything to survive. Nevertheless we should not forget they belt that University (UNZA) for me. They helped in defeating notorious Adolf Hitler through scientific expertise in manufacturing weapons. Here are some things worth noting about Jews:

• They have little water and land yet they export more citric fruits than any other country in the world.

• They have no oil, no mineral deposits and are surrounded by hostile nations yet their GDP is far higher than the oil rich neighbors.

• They excel in military, science and business.

• For almost 2000 years, they were dispersed from Palestine and the Hebrew language vanished from the surface of the earth yet they are back as a nation rich and speaking Hebrew. These people are amazing.


As a good student of seeking facts and truth, I always try hard to have a multi-view approach to this issue which I hold dear to my heart. Politically, metaphysically and theologically I reinforce my views into one consolidated opinion. My opinion in a nut shell is that if international leaders took time to gather political will to coordinate globally and address poverty and injustice instead of wasting huge sums of money and human capital to fight terrorism, the world would be rid of terror and other self inflicted human sufferings. War is always a primitive way of addressing the issue. I believe there is too much greedy of the so-called industrialized western world in as far as sourcing raw materials. There interest is not peace but oil. We all know that Noriega of Panama was aided by the USA to overthrow a legitimate government. Later on they arrested him. The axis of evil is made by USA and its allies and later on it is fought by its crafters. Saddam, Osama, Mobuto, Savimbi, Gaddafi….. the list is endless. USA only addresses its interests. Its solutions are not holistic but narrow (a tunnel vision). I strieve to stress a balanced opinion on a matter.

I have a different view to yours. I know we both believe that Islam propagates a belief of Death for the sake of God is the loftiest of its wishes. Worse still, Islamic fundamentalist believe 70 virgin concubines await in heaven for a successful suicide bomber. Prophet Muhammad told his followers to kill all the infidels that refused to convert to Islam. He spared the Christians in the beginning but not the Jews.

Some of the Arab Muslims are descendants of Esau. The bible says the seeds of Esau shall serve Jacob’s seeds. Well there are two interpretation of this saying:

1. When Jacob’s descendants are in trouble, Esau’s descendants shall come to aid Jacob. This happened in the desert when the Israelites left Egypt.

2. Jacob’s descendants will employ Esau’s descendants in manual labour. This is happening right now in palastine.

The action of fundamentalist to refuse to co-exist with Jews is pure petty jealousy because Jews are more prosperous than them and hence the fundamentalist believe Jews prosper at the expense of Palestinians.

Here is our difference: What is fascinating to note is that some of these Muslims are actually Israelites. Remember that it was mostly the tribe of Judah (Jews) and Dan that returned after end of exile in ancient Babylon. The other tribes are believed to have been swallowed up through intermarriages with the inhabitants of the ancient Babylonian world. However there is a competing theory that says that some Arabic tribes in the Middle East especially in Afghanistan and Iraq have the same customs and have blue eyes as the Jews. These must be the remnants of the lost tribes of Israel. These tribes are actually terrific fearless fighters and are actually recruiting grounds for Al-Qaida. These people are actually brothers. Jesus will just come and unite them.
