#2 I have to disagree. In our lives there is one event that transcends 9-11. In fact, it rivals World War II as the most important event of the 20th Century.

It was the fall of the Soviet Union, thanks in large part to President Ronald Reagan.

The War on Terror, the freeing of Afghanistan and Iraq, and 30 Million or more people are grand events as well. But they pale in comparison with the freeing of 1 Billion people with the fall of the Soviet Union. The ending of a 30 year threat that could have destroyed much of civilization.

A hundred years from now, the War on Terror will be a minor story of the 21st Century. And the odds are great that it will be eclipsed before this century is out.

But the history of the 20th Century, and in our lives, is set in stone. For it will be near impossible for an event to transcend the fall of the Soviet Union. It truly was the most important event that has taken place in our lifetimes, unless you were alive during World War II.

#3 Monsieur Katsaris

Last time you came here you began counting Muslim and Christian genocides (putting Nazi and similar atheistic movements in The Christian side) except that in two minites I found hald a dozen Muslim genocides you "forgot". One of them the cleansing of Pontus Greeks around 1955.

Just for that you deserve the collabo word.

But in fact you are evan worse. You want to show how tolerant you are and wide minded you are by supporting a muderous ideology. But in fact jsut like the Vietnam-era protesters you couldn't care less about the people. They arte just toys for yopur little games. I do. I acre not only about the non-Muslims living living under Islamic opressionj but about also about Muslims. About the woman who is beaten and raped by her husband, about the boy who is brainwashed for becoming a suicide bomber, about the enslaved Blacks, about those who don't get decent instruction, about the Bengla-deshi servants and camel jockeys raped in Saudi Arabia, about those who die from polio because a lunatic has said vaccination was haram, about the misery and ignorance who accompany Islam wherever it goes. I want them free of it. The differtnce betwen you and me is that for me they are humans and for you they are just expendable toys.

I would spit on you again but you would soil my saliva.
