Anymore homegrown terrorists?

[wez]

Not within my ability?
You do know the vast majority of middle eastern men do not commit terrorist attacks right? Most hate the violence even if they have a strong belief structure that promotes actions against "infidels".

Just because the majority of these radicals happen to live in the middle east, that does not mean all middle eastern men are terrorists. Look to the Fort Hood radical muslim, he acted the same way as the other terrorists and he lived his entire life in America.

The problem is in the mind, not the geographical location.

The police will arrest, hand cuff, and imprison this criminal, all done because "YOU" reported the crime knowing he would be punnished.

So using violence and power is okay as long as the Government is doing what you want them to do and protecting you but if they do it to protect someone else it is wrong.....

I will just let this pass as we agreeing to not agree, we did not deserve to be attacked, if you really believe America is so vile out innocents and children deserve to be killed maybe you should move.

That is like blaming a rape victim for being raped just because of the way she was dressed.

Not liking what we do and killing our innocents/children are two completely different things.

We are not targeting children on purpose, they are, to me that shows a very distinctive difference.

Prolly time to hush the **** up..

I think we are going to see more of this kind of thing. They just arrested some guy in Boston who was plotting to blow up shopping malls.

My neighbor's mom was a police officer in Cali - she personally had a fellow officer bust about 20 home-grown terrorists. Tip was from a neighbor who thought her neighbors were acting suspicisouly because of all the traffic coming in and out of there. Found terrorist training tapes in the video.

People need to still be alert.

WE always seem to see more of these kinds of activities when a weak looking President is in office. 9/11 was the result of 8 years with Bill Clinton who was very scared to offend Muslims, he was as well 'liked' as any President but for some reason, his bending over backwards to appease the world actually enticed these radicals to attack us.

Now I will not pretend to understand the mind of these radicals completely, but the actions seem pretty clear that they are attracted to weakness and if you seem strong, they tend to back off more.

Someone I know seems to believe we are entering into a time where our intelligence gathering people are scared to do their jobs because they know the administration will hang them out to dry for any excuse to 'look good' to other Nations. I think that may be part of it, stopping what is there is certainly part of the process but in my belief, there are more threats there is we look weak and will be more damaged by these attacks than we would should we have stronger leadership.

Ya know.. it's pretty funny.. with all the talk and accusations of blind support for people that have been going on around here lately.. I have to ask..

If you were born in the Middle East, would you still support the US government agenda and it's military?

If not, why?

If so, why?

Sumpin' to think about..

I would, so I could be free of the oppression that is forced upon women there.

Good point, interesting how under the politically correct world, not offending Muslims comes before pushing for women's rights. They will 'cuddle' with these Muslim leaders and turn a blind eye to the way they treat women. Even right here in America there are still "honor killings" (the completely rediclious nature of that name ****** me off by the way).

A weak looking President and 9/11 was Bill Clinton's fault-lol My, my... Carry on.

It is not a new concept that looking weak invites attacks.

There was a story about how young and inexperienced Presidents of the past were challenged early in their Presidency to see how they would react. The same is true for Obama who has seen a steady increase of agression from NK and Iran when they were not doing anything like that while Bush was in office.

Clinton's refusal to take terrorist activities seriously and restricting the abilities of our intelligence gathering groups made 9/11 possible. Clinton was as much a behind kisser as you could ever find on the world stage and he al but handed complete control of our military to the UN but still the radicals hated us enough to play and execute 9/11 during most of Clinton't two terms of office.

After Bush took direct action against these radicals and took the fight to their lands we didn't have any direct attacks on our soil but now we again have an appeasement President, suddenly we are getting more terrorist attention........coincidence?

I don't think Obama's decision to persecute Bush era investigators and such is helping things either, I am sure most of the intelligence gathering community is scared they will be the next target of scapgoating from this administration so it is better to ease off a little and still be able to support their families instead of working harder to get information just to be cought up in a witch hunt.
