#1 "Iranian theocrats say freedom causes terrorism"

LOL! And I've just been listening to the BBC trying to explain how choice makes people unhappy. Viva Propaganda! It never dies...

#3 "violence of the superpowers"

Of course muslims killing muslims in Iraq under Saddam, and in Sudan (how many deaths now?) don't count.

"One day the U.S. too will be history."

True, but I don't think the mullahs or their ilk will be around to see it.

#5 "Iranian theocrats say freedom causes terrorism"

This is what I was talking about yesterday in regards to the "creative" use of the word "terrorism". Their grasp of the meaning of words is surely astounding! Pure Il-Litrasi.

#6 Yeah, and dead rotting mullahs brings more freedom and liberty

I've got two words for you theocrats in Aran, y'ever heard of the french revolution? Thats the really ugly form of eliminating the hierarchy. The whole thing really gets out of hand; caused by a little thing called, officially, Le Terrorisme

#8 Iranian theocrats say freedom causes terrorism

Not to mention that the unemployment rate for high roller "holy men" will skyrocket, which is probably their priority.

#9 But it must be understood that the spirit of Islam does not preach violence.

That's true. Its spirit teaches submission and delivering yourself into slavery.

It's the words of Islam that call for violence.

#10 Annie M - Yeah, and dead rotting mullahs brings more freedom and liberty.

Well Said, but the French have never been the same since Napoleon decimated a whole generation fighting the English and Russians at the start of the 19th centuury. "Le Terrorisme" they brought on themselves.

Que prévoyez-vous? Nous n'avons pas valu le fumier puisque Napoleon a été exilé à Elba.
(Form "Jacques Chirac") commenting on "The French Do it Again"

Roughly : What do you want? We haven't been worth s*** since Napoleon was exiled to Elba.

#11 ... because the source of all human torment and suffering is the ’liberal democracy’ promoted by the West as ’progressive political thought.’

"Liberal democracy" has resulted in the "torment" of elected representation, free market economics, civil rights, freedom of religion and numerous other concepts all of which to the mullahs are as alien as neurosurgery.

Our "progressive political thought" has permitted such things as coed colleges, a free press and many other freedoms that would make the mullahs froth in their sleep, let alone their waking state.

And, finally, as to this little gem:

’One day the U.S. too will be history.’

"At what point shall we expect the danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic giant, to step across the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth ... could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track in the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years ... If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

Abraham Lincoln
January 27, 1838

#12 Hummm... it would rather be "Que voulez-vous? nous sommes nuls à chier depuis que Napoléon a été exilé à Elbe."
