| #16 As to what the muzzies will "inherit", if they try the shit here they will inherit the death, the heartbreak, and the ignominious defeat of everything they desire. The war may leave this country a fourth world sinkhole barely capable of fending off a horde of mosquitoes, with cities devastated by battle, famine, and evacuation, with croplands destroyed and burned over, and with communities and cultures virtually destroyed, but I guaran-damn-tee that neither the muzzis nor the commies nor the socialists nor the friggin' machines will ever win so long as there is a loyal, decent, gun-totin' American alive to resist them (and there's a shitload of us out there and we know how to use our guns so muzzies beware - we won't take this shit for long). Some of us are prepared to go down fighting and there's way more many of us than these yahoos will ever be able to deal with - and our breeding population thus far is just fine, thank you... |

| #15 Time to re-read Star Ship Troopers' description of only those who served winning the franchise. Too many uneducated voters turns the American political discussion into a tug of war over the ADHD population. I recall during my college days, the political science professor used to love to talk about the founding fathers as "rich, white male proerty owners" and how the rules were set up so that their take on elections and the administration of the society were top priority. Looking at that now at 40+, seeing the benefits of the feminist movement, the multicutural movement, the one man, one vote theme - I see the wisdom the founders possessed. Why not give the largest voice to those with the largest stake. The founders knew that Democracies last only until the population realises that they can vote puplic funds to themselves, and we've been there since the mid 1960's. |

| #13 "Even Saudi Arabia with it's trillions of $ of oil wealth is a shithole if you are not in the royal family." I'll vouch for that. As for the fate of what they "inherit", just think of the Gaza Greehouses, writt large. |

| #12 When Europe becomes muslim, it must also become a shithole like every other muslim land in the world. Even Saudi Arabia with it's trillions of $ of oil wealth is a shithole if you are not in the royal family. The Muzzies won't inherit a shinning palace of technology and modern business wealth, they will inherit a greasy shithole that all the working people have long since abandoned. |

| #11 By 2050, 30 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim. Does that include Eastern Europe (Poland, Romania, etc.)? If not, they might be saved. |

| #8 gromgoru #7 Imagine the US ruled by a military Junta. Now that should scare the hell out of the whole rest of the world. I don't know. I could live with it. Grom, I could live with Israel taking out Iran today. Afterall Iran has repeatedly promised that it will destroy Israel, that means you and anyone else living there. Don't you think the time has come? |

| #3 "By 2050, 30 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim." Considering that by current trends the old intellectual centers of learning will be nothing more than sink holes of neo-Marxism, matched by bankrupt old Marxist/Socilist economies, with inefficient state subsidized business and industry, managed by petty bureaucrats deaf to anything but save their own little games of office empire building, who cares? How would it appear any different from, say, Pakistan? Sic transit Europa. Time to focus on the future and the Pacific Rim. |

| #2 President Bush believes that indulgent democratic participation will take the steam out of jihadism. In fact, it has proven to legitimate and accelerate it. GWB has to stop looking at the enemy as potential negotiation partners, save a few would be hijackers of Islam. I am hoping that he will turn the corner on Iran. Mullah Krekar, phony Iraq refugee to Norway: "We're the ones who will change you," Krekar told Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet in his first interview since an uproar broke out over cartoons deemed offensive to Muslims. "Just look at the development within Europe, where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes," Krekar said. "Every western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries are producing 3.5 children. "By 2050, 30 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim." |

| #1 DIALECTICISM > whats to keep a LIMITED ATTACK/WAR to DESTABILIZE America only. but not to destroy her, from quickly becoming a full-scale, TOTAL ATTACK/WAR OF ANNIHILATION-DESTRUCTION, once element(s) within the anti-Amer agendas becomes TOO SUCCESSFUL??? As presently illustrated by post-2006 elex demands for alleged warmongering imperialist America to WITHDRAW TO CONUS FROM ASIA-PACIFIC IN ENTIRETY, NOT MERELY FROM IRAQ ANDOR ME??? ONLY IRAQ = now ONLY ME = now ONLY GLOBAL MUSLIM REGIONS = now ONLY FROM KOREAS = now ONLY FROM ASIA = now ONLY ASIA + PACIFIC. We know how FIDEL = CHAVEZ feel. |
