    The downfall of the US is in the making - its own making. The events in Pakistan are the fruits of the US policy.The more involved by the US in foreign affairs, the less it focused on its domestic matters. The US foreign policy creates havoc everywhere and the world has become less and less peaceful each day.There will be a time when the US has to face with so many threats in various forms from all sides that it will not be able to effectively evade any of them. The signs are all there. The US government knows it but will not reveal them but it will reveal itself. For example:-
    1. The dollar is not in good shape. 2. The US despite having the Home Security Department is still not secure - there are still open borders. 3. The blacks are still being treated as second class citizens and are not contented thus easily provoked - similar for other non-caucasions. 4. The housing loans and credit card problems are still not resolved - note the airline industry which is still to recover 5. The price of oil is still high - it affect so many things 5. The violence, murder and other crimes all over the US is increasing 6. The shooting spree is not under control 7. Lindsay Lohan is short of money - the rich are vulnerable. 8. Hollywood has run out of ideas for block busters and they are now producing many flops - the writer dispute?. 9. Greenspan is replaced by a nobody to head the treasury. 10. New Orleans has not improved after several years - FEMA and many government bodies are not effective - even the CIA burning of tapes 11. The recent fire in California can happen again even before the full recovery.( Note more natural disasters are going to happen in the US due to its emissions and global warming) 12. The US is dependent on other countries now for example China and Europe. 13. Both Afghanistan and Iraq are still in turmoil after so many billions have been spent. 14. The US has not settled the Iran and North Korea nuclear issue. 15. The US army has been stretched to its limits. 16. The US has created so many enemies.17. Russia, China and India are building up their power military, economy and technology (medical, commercial, military and space) 18. The European Union does not blindly support the US which the US has taken for granted. 19. Japan has diversified their international relations both politically and economically enough not to be too dependent on the US. 20. All US allies have to be bought and not taken for granted like before. 21. The current administration is a lame duck and the next team has no one worthy to lead the US into the near future. 22. Bush has made so many stupid mistakes and difficult to rectify. 23. So far nobody in the US can predict the eventuality of any major events or occurences and even missed the obvious.

    So just wait and see. Do not blame others or God for the downfall, it has happened before with all great nations previously. What more can be said?

    There has not been one instant in history where the KORAN HAS brought peace. It is their culture. Christianity has evolve, just like barbians eventually became civilized, so did Christianity. Even moderate Muslims are swayed by the JIHAD CHApter. The offspring of these moderateds have already carried out attacks in England and have tried in Canada and AMerica. What is amazing is how they are influenced by the Iraq war. They turn on the T.V and become enraged. There only hope to strike back is JIHAD. Remember Muslims have been indoctrinating there own for centuries. They have finally perfected it. This chapter allows leaders to indoctrinate their people all around the world. The " Ayattolah" has used this doctrine on Salman Rushdie who is an INDIAN. The only way to deal with a nuclear threat, is in private. We should gurantee all countries FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS. However if the people choose an extremist government then they must know the consequences. IT IS THESE SAME CONSEQUENCES THAT have DETERed RUSSIA FROM USING THEIR NUCLEAR ARSERNAL AS MUSCLE. WE WILL Annihlate YOU if you threaten with nuclear weapons. That is why the Middle East Government threaten Israel because they know better. The same goes for pakistan, any government that takes power after Free and Fair Elections, will be delivered the same message, In addition, they will assist us in the HUNT FOR BIN LADEN. Keeping Bin LADEN alive seems to be making a lot of people rich. We need to get Bin Laden and get the hell out of pacistan, let nations determine their own future. Nations cannot do that without a strong constitution that is followed like the KORAN.

    WE NEED TO GET BIN LADEN AND GET THE HELL OUT OF pacistan. Let the U.N do their job. Let's use our force through the U.N. or through an ARAB===ISRAELI COUNCIL, which includes all countries in the region like INDIA, WARIKSTAN, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan. China and India have historically and traditionally had much more in common then uncommon, therefore the grounds for cooperation are naturally existent. We need to build alliances with these nations and let them put the pressure on their neighbors when the misbehave. We well then keep those force in check. It is a lot cheaper or "cost effective", to be smart and build alliances rather than unilaterally attacking these destablization issues, like the death of BHUTTO. The death of Bhutto was a direct result of the JIHAD CHApter. A young man subliminally indoctrinated to destroy his life and twenty one others including BHUTTO, was brainwashed by JIHAD to carry out a political assissination. You cannot seperate Mosque from state in the Muslim world. There should be JIHAD waged against those who misuse this doctrine like the Ayatolah and pacistani military leadership. It is obvious that these leaders knew their reign of power was over and that Bhutto was going to let the "AMERICANS" run the country. It should be no surprise that this assissination happened, in fact the victim even e mailed her own murderers. America needs to stop forcing the issue they should of brought BHUTTO back humbly. SHE SHOULD NOT have been parading. This is war, JIHAD means war. WHEN WILL WE UNDERSTAND THAT THESE people have declared war. BHUTTO is death could have been prevented if people really understood what JIHAD means.

    Musharraf can't survive long. One way or another he will probably be gone soon enough. But while he is still there, it's important to persuade him to encourage the democratization process. With Benazir dead and no obvious replacement for her in the PPP, the elections will likely have to be postponed. But the world (specially the US) need to do all they can to continue to encourage democratic reforms. They need to provide assurance that there WILL be elections, and that they will be as fair as possible, given the circumstances. If the hope of elections and democracy dies in Pakistan, it will be impossible to prevent civil war.

    Pakistan is very close to anarchy. A failed state with nuclear weapons is a nightmare scenario. Although we hope it will never come to that, preparations for that eventuality have to be made. India will never agree to invading Pakistan or occupying it for any length of time. It has problems enough with its own Muslim population; it certainly has no desire to deal with another 160 million Muslims who have been brought up from birth to hate and fear India. But the 3 countries most affected by Pakistan's nuclear weapons are India, the US, and Israel, and as such, they should and will work together to make sure that in the worst scenario those weapons are safeguarded and do not fall into the hands of the Islamic militants.

    While we should plan for the worst, we should do our best to make sure that the worst doesn't happen. It's important for the US to realize that there will never be peace in Pakistan or any hope of democracy while Musharraf is in power. This is not a stable situation. Everyone's life hangs by a thread if the enemy is dedicated enough, as the murder of Benazir showed. Foreign policy based on pinning all hopes on one man who is hated and reviled by the majority of the populace is a stupid idea. He could be assassinated tomorrow, and then where would the US be? He has been the cause of enormous resentment against the US in Pakistan, both from the Islamic radicals who hate the US anyway, and the moderate Muslims who see this American puppet destroying democratic institutions in the country, imprisoning and torturing the opposition, arresting Supreme Court justices, etc. He has got to go, and he will go sooner or later. Somehow, in the interim, the world needs to make sure that the next transition is to a more democratic form of government, not to another dictator and not to the religious fanatics.

    It is not a question of "can Musharraf survive", Musharraf must be given the full support to prevent further turmoil in the present chaotic situation.Those in power whether in Pakistan or foreign powers must refrain from taking the advantage of the situation.Calm and common sense must prevail now to avoid the possibility of instability in the region which may erupt into a Third World War! . There are all the ingredients for this to happen. Above all Bush must be prevented from making any unilateral action in Pakistan and taking the situation into his own hands because Bush is stupid and capable enough to invade Pakistan for some B.S excuses.

    If Musharraf is not able to control Pakistan, then the next best thing is for India to occupy Pakistan, this will also resolve the Khasmir issue and control of the nuclear arsenal. India should come it not to invade but to maintain sanity in the region which India is capable to do, please not the UN/US(they are the same). All these because before the seperation of West and East Pakistan from India, there were two schools of thoughts. Firstly the Muslim in Pakistan felt that they should have their own country (Muslim country) to be able to really benefit themselves - unfortunatetly until today nothing really happens except Benazir was assasinated. Secondly, on the other hand the Muslims also felt that they should not be independent, because they still have about 100million Muslim brothers in India and would be a minority in the Hindu majority nation. India is now progressing rapidly while Pakistan is still backward. The are no problems for the Muslims in India to practice their religion (except for isolated cases).Therefore it is only natural for India to play its role in the region and resolving the Muslim dilema, thus preventing the US to create havoc.

    Please also understand that there were no militancy in the Muslim communities anywhere in the world. They appear only recently due to the continuos onslaught by the West in particular the US in various forms, political, culture, physical, insinuations, rhetoric, economic, media and you name it. They are there to ensure the survival of the Muslims. But won't everyone in the world do the same if one felt threatened? It is only human nature.

    Why do you expect the closet moslem, Obama (related to Osama?) to fight his fellow muhammadans?

  • Posted By: eddiewhere @ 12/29/2007 3:32:36 AM

    THE THIRD WAVE IS COMING
    We are in big trouble extremist and children of moderates all around the world are being seduced by the chapter of JIHAD. If you look at the Madrassa's they are brainwashing futre genereations in that region with the chapter of JIHAD. IT is like subliminal indoctrination. This is very dangerous. THEY ARE TEACHING THE CHILDREN TO FIGHT JIHAD FOR one hundred years. Obama is the only candidate that can change antiamericanism in that region. It just feels right voting for OBAMA

  • Posted By: eddiewhere @ 12/29/2007 3:31:38 AM

    : Somilia, USS COLE, First trade center bombing, embassy in Tanzania ect... duffle. The extremist movement against America begam after the first invasion of Iraq. American troop presence the root cause. I am not saying Hillary is not capable, I just think that Barak Obama has the right instincts and skills to tame that region. He is part of a movement that is very determined to succeed. Hillary Clinton will be an asset to the OBAMA presidency. Hillary Clinton is not a figure that will be welcomed in the traditional Muslim world as president, as a member of OBAMA's presidency YES. WHY?because it is a different culture. This is the first time a woman actually has a chance to become president. That is cutting edge even for our culture, imagine how it is perceived in the Muslim world, they are not ready yet.

  • Posted By: eddiewhere @ 12/29/2007 3:30:58 AM

    : No one person can bring change, it takes a movement. Bhutto's death could have started this movement. Or it could of ended a movement. Only time will tell. This was prophesized that a woman leader would be assassinated and that it would impact the whole globe. Everyone thought it was a possible referal to an American president. Who thought it would have been Bhutto. THe extremist movement still has uncontrolled grudges against the Clinton's. Hillary Clinton could fuel the extremist cause. This extremist movement views "things" different. I felt bad when I heard the news partly because Bhutto was a women. To us it is an unspeakable crime but to others who belong to powerful extermist movements it is "nothing". These people do not care. We need Obama as president in order to fuel the peace process. Our best chance at peace and security is OBAMA. We need someone who's chief policy makers believe in the movement for peace and prospeity for all. One who understands that our troops are dying and that this issue is more important than their own personal political careers. After the assassination of JFK and Martin Luther KIng, the civil rights MOVEMENT succeeded under the Jonhnson administration in having civil rights legislation passed into law. It was a MOVEMENT that could not be stopped. Bin Laden is a god to extremist, he is their BHUTTO, extremist have no problems committting atrocities. In fact it is their dream, it is their end goal in life. This is why we cannot let these extremist continue to multiply. Obama is our best chance. He is also intelligent enough to know Russia and it's breakaway republics in Central Asia as well as the technological advancement of CHina and it blatent theft of intellectual property is a threat that needs to be dealt with.

    I have to strongly disagree withg the comment that Americans will forget about what happened yesterday. All Americans want peace in the Middle East and it starts with political figures like Bhutto getting power. The person who posted that comment are exactly the type of people who shouldn't open there stupid mouths at all. Maybe you are more inetrsed in a football bgame..but please don't speak on behalf of a nation who wants to see an end to Islamic Extremsim in teh middle east. Whether you want to beleive it or not...we are directly effected by what happens over there....its all realtive!

    • Posted By: nycanon @ 12/28/2007 9:53:27 AM

      Thanks for showing your ignorance. Pakistan has little to do with middle east, Pakistan is considered part of South Asia and is far from the middle east. Pakistan is of little strategic interest, once the Taliban leaders are captured or killed, the US Government involvement in Pakistan will end. Now go and open up a world map and see if you can find Pakistan on it.

      • Posted By: crushdaenemy @ 12/28/2007 9:49:31 PM

        We must stop terrorism. I think we should contribute every last cent we make to the government so we can get rid of the Osama Bin Ladens of the world. I must also commend the media for bringing the focus of the American people to bear on this incredibly important issue. I for one am happy to see our forces blow up and rebuild as many bridges as neccessary to bring these uneducated barbarians to democracy. I am glad the world is headed towards globalism. I am glad the FBI's biometric database will be in place soon so we can catch you anti-war/anti-American people and lock you up.

      • Posted By: annie23 @ 12/28/2007 11:05:09 AM

        First of all the term Middle East defines a general area, so it does not have precise borders. It is generally taken to include: Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen and the Palestinian Territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Considering that Pakistan borders Iran I would have to disagrre with your stamenet that it has little do with the Middle East and it is of little strategic interest to ending Islmaic Extremism. If you want to get some better arguments why dont you try to google it during the Patriots game!

        BTW- I am a big fan GO PATS!

        • Posted By: nycanon @ 12/28/2007 11:20:22 AM

          Hmm.. Iran also borders Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan. And since Pakistan borders India, maybe we can include all of them as part of middle east. Bottomline, everthing that has happened in Pakistan has had little effect to Middle-Eastern politics or policy. The same will happen in the future. If somehow magically Islamic Extremism ended in Pakistan, there will be ZERO impact to Islamic Extremism in the middle-east.

    Sure is nice to have al Qaida in this world.. Despite the incredible number of factions in the Arab world it is amazing how quickly it can be determined that al Qaida is responsible. Took only a few hours. And it also serves George Bush's position too, as he blames al Qaida for everything from 9/11 through the insurgancy in Iraq and Afghanistan to an outbreak of jaywalking on the streets of New York. But after all that is what Bush created the current posture of al Qaida for; a convenient entity to blame for every mistake and every stupidity that he and any of his allies make. Working just fine and will do so as long as Americans remain unquestioning and pliable sheep.

    • Posted By: ryoung122 @ 12/28/2007 4:50:28 PM

      If we get rid of your inane comments and look at the evidence...the WTC was attacked first in 1993. In 1994, we heard about Philippine militants planning to fly planes into tall buildings. In 1995, attacks included the Khobar Towers. 1998 embassy bombings...who was president then? CLINTON. Osama had already emerged before Bush became president.

      • Posted By: leodelaney @ 12/28/2007 6:34:20 PM

        Begore BushOsama bin Laden was a minor character on the world stage leading a few hundred fanatics and hiding in a cave somewhere in Afghanistan or Pakistan. It was after 9/11 that Bush made him into an international hero to well over a billion people by giving him credit for 9/11, something which has never been shown except for Osama's taking of credit, and then posturing him as the great enemy of American civilization and the leader of a world wide network of fanatics vowing to overthrow us. Osama went from Afred E. Neuman to Fu Manchu in the matter of a few weeks with the help and connivance of George W. Bush and the US Media, both of whom needed a monster with wihich to frighten the American people. Under Clinton bin Laden was a minor nuisence, under Bush the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler.

  • Posted By: ryoung122 @ 12/28/2007 5:21:14 PM

    Socrates, MLK, Gandhi...all gave their life for their cause.

    Bhutto's legacy is tainted, however. I do believe she was 100% guilty of corruption. In an interview on CNN last night, her excuse was 'everybody does it'.

    Nevertheless, if we forget about 'Mr. 10%' what really happened is that Benazhir decided that a life in exile was not worth living. Yet if she had not campaigned so far to the left, she might not have been killed. Musharraf survives by playing both sides of the fence.

    Al Qaida is more than willing to take the blame.. But what is sad, these people (or idiots ) suicide bombers are willing to give thier life for a coward that HIDES in a CAVE.. I don't see him out there risking his Butt.
    Do they actually think there are all these virgins waiting for them when they cross over...??? OH for funny!!

    • Posted By: nycanon @ 12/28/2007 4:27:51 PM

      What is also sad is US Soldiers dying in Iraq for a draft-dodger sitting in the White House. His family has never risked their butt.
      I also find it amusing that 'Heaven' is real for Christians but a 'Heaven with 72 virgins' is absolutely silly.

      • Posted By: ryoung122 @ 12/28/2007 5:17:06 PM

        Your analysis is flawed. We are not in Iraq for the benefit of Bush, we are in Iraq for the benefit of America. Last I checked, most Americans drove cars, and they ran on gasoline which comes from OIL.

        Second, most American soldiers at least have the prospect of SURVIVAL, whereas a SUICIDE BOMBER is SUPPOSED to die. There is a difference.

        Third, suicide bombers target civilians as their goal. True, the US military may not care about 'collateral' deaths, but killing civilians and inspiring terror is not the goal.

        Fourth, Christianity, like Buddhism, believes in conversion by persuasion. Islam believe in conversion by force. That's why 'Islam' means 'submission.'

        So, nycanon, if you stopped to think about it, the American soldiers over in Iraq are fighting for your right to believe in pagan gods, the right to free expression, the right to vote, the right of women to be seen in public without a veil or burka, the right of men to shave, the right of tennis players to wear shorts in public, the right of women to have their hair done at a salon, the right to drive a car, etc. Osama and Al-Qaeda believe that you don't have the rights to these things, and their mission is to force everyone to submit to their brand of extremist theology.

        Oh, and Bush didn't dodge the draft...he served in the National Guard.

        I don't need to be a Christian to see that you're wrong, and yet you fail to see that your very opinions would get you killed in Iraq or Pakistan. I've been to China and the Pakistanis in China told me that in Pakistan, women are executed for 'adultery' and going outside after 9PM may be deadly. Even if Christianity has been wrong in the past (Inquisition, witch-hunting, etc), that doesn't justify 'Islam's turn' to be barbaric. Given today's advances in communication, it is highly hypocritical that those that condemn the West also enjoy its benefits, from cell phones to digital cameras. At least the Amish practice what they preach.

  • Posted By: kokoalim @ 12/28/2007 4:25:59 PM

    To generalize Christianity in a sweeping manner for the acts perpetrated ages back is rather incorrect (not to mention that the facts pointed forward are rather incorrect, since the Crusades only lasted from 1095~1291, and the collective mass of "Christian atrocities" performed in the Americas, in the Inquisitorial trials, and so one, do not mount anywhere close to a thousand years - Cortes invaded the Americas during the 16th century, and the Spanish Inquisition was founded in 1481 - and they lasted for a mere few centuries...)
    In any case, the justification of atrocities, simply because "somebody else did it" is a usage of a vulgar and twisted logic, which would even allow for the justification of the Twin Tower attacks on September 11 - because hey, the Christians did it, so why not the Muslims? If everyone was to emply such illogic, then the world would be a devastated place indeed - because somebody else kills, so will I - because someone stole from me, so wil I - because someone raped a hapless female, so will I - "taking its turn at the trough of religiously "justified" hate"? Some acts are inherently terrible, and as our civic duty, the nation must condemn heinous acts and violence - not justify them, or put forward a "worse alternative" to make the current situation seem somehow, in some random way, "better."

    • Posted By: ryoung122 @ 12/28/2007 5:04:27 PM

      Worse, it seems that only some crimes are remembered. Do we forget that Lebanon was once part of the Roman Empire? How did it 'fall' into Muslim hands? The same with Turkey (Anatolia), Syria, Israel, Egypt, Libya, etc Let's face it, Mohammed and Islam did not even exist until about 570-622AD or so. To fall for the notion that it is 'Islamic' land is silly. Iraq may have been Islamic for 13 centuries, but what about the 47 centuries prior, from the invention of cuneiform script about 4000BC?

  • Posted By: kokoalim @ 12/28/2007 4:18:14 PM

    However, if you discuss Christianity v. Islam in such derogatory tones as to say that the Crusades and the Inquisition can be regarded as sweeping examples of "Christian violence," then you might as well say that all white Americans are racists, or all Muslims are extremists who wish to see the demise of the entire western hemisphere. The Crusades and the Inquisition, of course, were cruel and horrendous examples of what piety misdirected can turn into; and yet even the ages of the Crusades, there were those who were furiously opposed to such rash actions, and during the days of the Spanish, Catholic Inquisition, there were the Protestants who vehemently opposed the acts of the Inquisition. As such, sweeping generalizations of the current status are not only erroneous, but also irreverent to a certain degree, in the sense that generalizing Christianity under one pretext (i.e. The Crusades) is an act of prejudiced stereotyping. Also, for the information of the future readers of the comments, the Crusades did not last a thousand years... (The Crusades lasted from 1095~1291.) Also, to justify the violence perpertrated by the Islamic jihadists and extremists is inherently incorrect - would you justify killing a person, simply because others have done it for the past ages? Can you justify the slaying of innocents just for the reason that "someone else did it, so it must be okay"? Can anyone justify the attacks on the Twin towers on September 11? Some acts are inherently evil, and although it may not be possible to always eradicate such vile acts from our planet, it is a civic duty to condemn such acts - not appraise and defend them!

    • Posted By: ryoung122 @ 12/28/2007 5:00:14 PM

      And what was wrong with the Crusades? Was the land not Christian before Islam even existed? History tells us that 'might makes right'. The Crusades were 'wrong' because we lost. Had we won, it would have been the 'right' thing to do.

      Logically, no side has a monopoly on good or bad deeds.
