I still think that the US government should regulate privately owned companies and prevent them from having dealing with Iran. Your comment about Ahmadinejad or Rafsanjani speaking at Columbia or National Cathedral is well taken. However, it created a lot of negative attention especially when Ahmadinejad spoke. I have spoken to many Iranians who think all the negative press about him is propaganda and that he's not so bad. Regardless, private companies putting money into Iran is different than the U.S. government doing so. A need for a grassroots refusal to buy Shell products is the only answer for now lest the U.S. steps in.<BR/><BR/>Regarding SA, I want to know how the royal family are terrorists. Other than paying off the wahabists, is SA sending money to Syria or Iran? You still haven't provided evidence. I am not defending SA; I think they're in cahoots with Bin Laden. But remember Hussein was sending Scuds to SA in order to grab SA oil, force American troops out of Islamic territory while he was also trying to grab Kuwait's oil. Other than the US, did anyone retaliate against Ira for attacking SA. If SA is terrorist, they are hiding it quite well under the garments of the royal family, both courted by Clinton and Bush.Louis Lapideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937345918099904842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640230194403714897.post-79289583367986500142008-03-26T00:10:00.000-07:002008-03-26T00:10:00.000-07:00"we are supporting Iran?

We don't support them nor does the government have any trade deals with them. Maybe private companies but the government of the US does to recognize Iran as a partner in anything. President Bush condemned Iran as part of the axis of evil and he's right. Re: Saudi Arabia. The government of SA is not terrorist but the royal family is beholden to the Wahabists among whom is Osama Bin Laden. The US. must play chess with SA because we don't want Saudi oil to fall into the hands of the Wahabists. You still have not told me which Islamic extremists are supported by Christians and Jews.

Yes, the majority of victims of Islamic terrorism is Muslims. That cannot be forgotten. I will need to dig deeper into the teachings of Rod Paisley. I do not embrace his approach or his ultra charismatic theology. I am grieved that McCain stood with this man. It looks like a great blog piece. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I am not sure why Christian and Jews are responsible for dealing with Islamic terrorism. I am also not clear on what Islamic extremist governments we support . . . Pakistan . . . Afghanistan. Sometimes we have the support the lesser or great of the two evils to eliminate the other evil. It's all an sad but morally unclear choice we have to make. However, for America to play the isolationist role while Islamic terrorism grows is the worse choice we can ever make. We must stay in the game and do all we can to fight terrorism. Have moderate Islamic governments condemned Islamic acts of terror on a consistent basis? The beheadings of civilians working in Iraq; the horrible mistreatment of women in Islamic countries . . even our American feminist groups don't speak up on behalf of Muslim women world over.

He speaks of "we" when it comes to bombing Hiroshima, Khadafi, etc. Does that "we" include black people or only white people? For him to call Israel state sponsored terrorism shows his deep ignorance of the Middle East situation? When did we bomb Panama? I don't recollect any one getting killed when Clinton bombed the pharmaceutical company? Khadafi was attacked because Libya took down a commercial flight over Lockerbee, Scotland killing 100s. There is a context to every attack of America on groups and countries that attacked us? Was the Civil War where 500,000 men died an act of terrorism. Wright is an ungrateful citizen of the U.S. How about the African tribes killing each other in Rwanda and the Islamic governments and right wing militia groups attacking blacks in the Sudan. Damn Rev. Wright for his jaundiced eye of hatred for America. He is a terrible influence for this country. Listening to the entire sermon only made me more angry than ever. He's not a man of God but a man of anger. The so-called innocents were not strictly innocent. Palestinians have used school building to launch attacked on Israel so they Israelis could not return fire and kill innocents. Who is responsible: the cowardly Palestinians for using children as a shield or the Israelis revenging the deaths of civilians and military personnel.Louis Lapideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937345918099904842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640230194403714897.post-84460696833485527892008-03-24T12:20:00.000-07:002008-03-24T12:20:00.000-07:00"How do you feel about cutting ties with the antis..."How do you feel about cutting ties with the antisemitic and Islamic Louis Farrakhan?"<BR/><BR/>If you click the provided link, you can easily find out.<BR/><BR/>"You cannot ignore that the majority of terrorist are connected to the Islamic faith."<BR/><BR/>We don't.
