...you STILL don't get it

Prince AlyKhan,

Thanks for the warm-and-fuzzy sentiment; of course we should all learn to embrace each others' differences - we are all human beings, after all, with common wants, desires, needs; our priority is for our children to grow and thrive in peace and security. All we need is love.

NOT.

The world is NEVER going to be the fairy-land you envision; correct me if I am wrong, but according to your religion, THAT will only happen when the Muslims populate the world completely; I believe it's referred to as "Dar-al-Islam". Look it up.

With regards to my question/suggestion, I did not state, "Imagine for a nano-second America or Canada did not exist due to ill-disposed extremists, or otherwise".

I wrote, "Imagine for a nano-second that the U.S.A., as well as Canada, did not exist".

YOU, Prince AlyKhan, are the one who assumed this would occur at the hand of so-called "ill-disposed extremists, or otherwise".

This speaks volumes on your part, I would say. What I was inferring was simply this - are you aware that the U.S.A contributes more in foreign aid than all other countries of the world COMBINED? Why don't you question Saudi Arabia about that one? Oh, by the way, the 19 highjackers of 9/11 fame all came from well-to-do backgrounds; they were not "victums of poverty". How about this one - more foreigners are banging away at the gates of the U.S. (and Canada) to immigrate every year than any other country in the world. Why do you think this is?

Again, try to imagine the U.S.A., and Canada, did not exist.

Then, try to imagine the rest of the world.

Apply history - what would the world look like without Hiroshema and Nagasaki; the obliteration of Berlin and the Third Reich (the victory of WWII).

Apply religion - it's the later Medina verses that are extremely violent, and these led to Muslim dominance; not the early Meccan, which were largely peacefull. Read "Infidel"s post of Nov. 23, above.

Apply politics - Obama is NOT the great Prometheus you, and 1/2 of America, envision. He hasn't a clue how to run this country (at least President Bush had been Governor of Texas - twice); Obama's track record of voting reveals him a socialist who, should he realize half of his ambitions, would turn the U.S.A. into a communistic totaly-devoid-of-incentive failed workers' state. History shows us such ideology has led to ruin for more than a few countries.

In short, OBAMA could be the catalyst that ends the U.S.A. (and Canada) as we know it.

Thanks God it's only for four years; we might just survive that. Perhaps Obama will come to realize capitalism, free enterprise, personnal responsibility (not sub-prime loans) and MILITARY VICTORY are the cornerstones of America's success.

Not warm-and-fuzzy nonsensical subjective philosophical tommy-rot.
