The middle east was a vibrant, rich, peacfull place about 100 years ago.
There culture was pure middle eastern
un-influenced by the western world, and even kept european influence at bay.
They were at the top of the world.

World War 2 happend and in the aftermath what happens, a strong piece of the western world and europe gets inplanted SMACK DAB in the middle of the...middle east....ISREAL.

Now after WW2 you have to remember that the middle east it self was going through changes, civil wars, changing boundries.
Many people died and in a society so religious they wanted to know why there god(s) where mad at them.

So they played the blame game and looked at themselves, and what did they see, western imprints from there shoes, to trousers, sweaters, hats, there sons were seen decked out in addidas T-shirts, and NIKE sneakers, there daughters in high heels, short skirts, and heaven forbid....LIP STICK , the things they were trying so hard to keep out of there society had infultrated, "but how they thaught?"....ISREAL!

Foundamentalists, thaught "if we get rid of these western influences these bad things will stop", so they tried to get into leadership roles through politcal means.
But it did not work, becasue one reason, not enough of sopport, all though things were bad, and getting nasty, the average everyday,
joe-billy-bob-ali-sing was content as things were bad they were not effecting everyday life....YET.

Failing to get through politcial means they did what every other radical group does, use FORCE, Napolean did it, Hitler did it, Castro did it(but he wasn't that bad...other than trying to nuke us), and so did SADDAM.

So they took over territories and put there own crooked governments in, one catch though, kids growing up with no hope in these territories were givin "hope" with the radicals "give you life for us, and you shall have 17 virgins...ahhahaaa"
And they did they had nothing else, so why not give you life in this life for a better one in the next.

In the 1990's a radical gov' "accupied" a country the size of ONTARIO , in the middle east......you guessed it, AFGHANISTAN!

Now I ask you what "mini-war" has bean going on in the middle east for about 30 years?
Isreal against Palistian, these radical groups blamed the only thing they could blame for there *misfortune* western influence!
And who has bean one of the major supporters of ISREAL supplying tanks, aircraft, guns, ammo.... THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

So blam 1998, radical fundamentalists strike, hitting US ebasesies(hope I spelt it right) 38 dead but get this..only 6 were american(keep this in mind key point).

What happend when the japanese bombed Peal Harbour again......Oh yea...HAROSHIMA, NAGASAKI.

Bill "falatio from my sexutary" Clinton is in power in the US, now knowing from history Clinton comes to the conclusion "WTF first impeachment then this BS....argh..I need a BJ"..jkz...No he says " I will bomb the tar out of someone"(because teh US puplic will have nothing short of it), so he does and he drops $6000.00 dollar cruise missiles on civilain populations in the middle east, and falls right into the radicals plot, *dun..dun...duuuuuuuun*, not only has he wasted about $52,000.00 dollars(hurting the US economicly, he just killed some innocent middle eastern men, women, and children, sure he may have gotton one or two "bad guys" but the damage is done and now he has just enraged and angerd the people of the middle east.

So the radicals think 'hmmmm we kill 6 of his he kills about 200 of are innocent civilains, wastes money, and enrages the people of the middle east growing more Anti-Western and even more Anti-US.

9/11

George Bush is now in power.

A peacefull morning.

I can remember being glued to my TV as I watched in full Surround Sound Horror as the tragedy unfolded.

The radicals hijack 3 american planes crashes them into the Pentegon Washington D.C , the World Trade Centers in NYC, and because of the heroic passengers on the third flight, one crashes into the ground.

About 5000 die, so the radicals think "hehehe ,what he gonna do now we kill 6 he goes beserk, we just killed 5000"

But Bush Boy George is smart he does not fall into there plans and instead leads the "WAR ON TERRORISM"

Immedaitly ships are sent into the middlea east, the US is put on high alert, All planes are grounded, and I swear to god I felt that if a country even looked the wrong way at the US, they would of bean HYDROED.

Bush builds a coaltion, Britan, France, Germany, Russia, Canada, some of the strongest.

AFGHANISTAN's radicals are toast, the fundamentalists are on the run.

"Your either with us or against us"

Bush names the *Axis of Evil* Syria, Iraq, North Korea.

..And here we are today , Syria surrounded by countries that wanna **** it, Iraq being bent over a leather couch and sprading it's legs for the U.S, North Korea counting it's days until the far east pounces(a china issue).

The world seems to be a gloomy place but here's something I noticed about life today that might cheer you up:

The world is becomming a more and more globalized place, if you wanted to really, you could spy on someone in Turky making out with his first love ..from lets say ...Mexico.
You cant do wrong these days without being seen.

And another thing these days there are more democratic countries than ever before than in the history of mankind, well you say" whats so good about that" Well Democratic countries dont figh wars with each other. Infact the UNITED NATIONS code of conduct makes it impossible for two democratic countries to fight a war with each other.

So when you see the western world beating up on non democratic countries, you should be happy, for there CHILDREN will know peace.

I am not an anti-semitist, or in any way giving reason for terrorism.

Heres my first post on this board, and seeing as your discussing my specialist subject Terrorism, i think i'll join in.

Modern Terrorism can often be traced back to the Cold War, with the capitalist Western powers or communist Soviet powers influencing decisions in Middle Eastern and eastern European countries. Terrorism becomes all the range under the guise of the perportrators being Freedom Fighters

e.g. 1956 - Communist Hungary. Communist leader overthrown by "freedom fighters" led by Imre Nagy. Nagy takes over Hungary and declares independance. Result = Soviet Union does nothing. Nagy declares that Hungary is leaving the Warsaw Pact (communist NATO). Result = Soviet Union storms in, kills 30,000 Hungarians and hangs Nagy.

However in Hungary the problem stopped (on the global front anyway - imnot big on Hungarian History.) However, in Afganistan, as i'm sure you all know, the CIA supplies Al'Quaeda to fight the Russians and they win. The CIA fails to ask for their weapons back and Al'Quaeda gets the push it needs. The rest, as they say, is (recent) history.

My point is though, that as horrific their crimes may be, terrorists most of the time have a just cause from their perspective. If no one had resisted in Bosnia there would have been widespread rape and pillage. Most people dont remember when disscusing recent events that Nelson Mandela, yes the winner of a Nobel Peace Prize, was locked up for sabotage and similar crimes - Terrorism. We (I assume) take the view that he was fighting for a just cause (the freedom of black Africans) and now he is renown as a great ambassador for peace. But nevertheleass he was a terrorist. If you want to look closer to home take a look at Northern Ireland. What are the IRA fighting for? From their perspective, are they in the right? That is what we must consider when discussing terrorists.

Your thoughts and critisisms are much welcomed.

That was very informative rattlesnake and based on what you have written, you seem to have a very open mind about terrorism. Which brings me to a question that, most likely no ones wants to ask becuase the answer is, most likely yes. Tht question is: Were we (the Unied States), at one point, no different then the middle eastern countries and filled with terrorists and/or freedom fighters?

Look at the time right before, during, and after our civil war. Every southerner was out to get every northerner and vice versa; no different then the palestinians and Israelies. There was only one big difference. We received help from no one, we simply fought until one side one. Whether that side was right or wrong is not the point but look at how strong our country is now. If anything, we are simply throwing lighter fluid in the flames by helping every little country with their own civil war or holy war that should not concern us. Which is why i say we should end all our invovlment with foreighn affairs by nuking the holy land that is so precious to the Palestinians and Isralies.

I couldn't agree more. At the moment, the two most hated countries in the world are us (U.K.) and the USA. Us because of our Empire and the US because it constantly interfeares in other countries affairs (see Vietnam and Middle East) The fact that Bush seems to prefer the US "going it alone" with only UK and not UN coupled with his god-like naming of corrupt terrorist govt. around the world seems to enforce that.
