That would be a win win, someone whom is living in the worst conditions under brutal native occupation and famine, disease, slavery etc. will get to live in one of the greatest and most prosperous countries in the world,.  Someone whom will not take living in the USA for granted, like most of the children of hippies and yuppies and so called anarchist whom frequent this site.  I would like to see an anarchist or a anti war person survive one day in southern Sudan or Congo.  Or better yet how about surviving one day in East Los Angeles with no police and the realization of your true dreams of &quot;Anarchy\u201d Wake up you selfish people whom have no respect for the freedoms and opportunities you have in this world, to have the money to beable to afford a computer and internet connection and a house to live in and food to eat.  While the rest of the world starves because we don\u2019t want to mingle in others countries affairs.  Because the whole anti-&quot;war&quot; movement was silent when 800,000 Rwandans were massacred, where were you? You always seem to be there when its about Iraq or &quot;Palestine&quot; but never there when the other parts of the world whom are being massacred in the name of Islam, no one speaks out.  Cry out against the USA but stay silent to the crimes of the poor countries even rulers whom trade children as slaves and as soldiers. Where is your outrage there?  Take your hatred you have for George Bush and funnel it towards some real action against the real terrorists, the ones using there children to blow up innocent civilians, how about that for a change.  Where is your outrage against the grave crimes against humanity against young children taught from birth to wish to hate and kill in the name of God?  Where is your outrage against the women whom are beaten daily by there husbands and whom cannot leave the house without a male escort, where is your outrage regarding the crimes committed against homosexuals in the name of Islam?  Where is your outrage?  It is not there, for most of us are ignorant hypocrites to the realities of the world, We claim to be independent media subscribers but we just are dependant on the news copied from some hate filled website that claims to be &quot;Anti-War&quot; while at the same time supporting the blood soaked regimes thought the world. While providing emotional aid and comfort to the worlds leading terrorists the &quot;anti-War&quot; movement has shown its true colors, that they have been hijacked by corrupt regimes of this world to be used as propagandists against the USA.  To be used as dividers of a nation by regimes hoping to incite civil unrest in this great nation.  Wake up you people, it is not too late to stop supporting these twisted regimes whom finance most of these &quot;Anti-War&quot; protests, groups like ANSWER coalition whom claim to be against Racism yet call for the destruction of the state of Israel, Support leading terrorist groups emotionally and sometimes even financially, groups which are used to train the children of tomorrow to wish to kill in the name of Allah.  Children whom are stripped of there childhoods to be human bombs in the names of some twisted fanatics given aid and comfort by so called &quot;Human Rights&quot; groups.  Do you not see how morally bankrupt we have come? To not really care about the &quot;Palestinians&quot; rights, to not care that there leaders have lead them down the road to death and destruction by refusing to accept the rights of Jews to live in the state of Israel, to instead of teaching there children about coexistence they are taught hatred and love of death (aka: Shahadah) wake up people, do the real research, watch about 30 minutes of Palestinian or Hizbullah television which is translated by an Arab speaker and you will see the indoctoration of hate pushed on the youth whom only know death and mayhem because there leaders AKA Arafat takes all the money and runs while the poor Palestinians are still in refugee camps 50 years later while the Shieks are in the mansions.  Wake up people, learn the real truth, stop calling for anti racism while you yourselves are racists against White people, Jewish People, Israeli people, you are hate filled against George Bush or anyone related to him, we are morally bankrupt that we have come this far and steeped so low.","author":"John Davis","parent_id":105558,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-04-30 03:43:54","modified":"2013-11-11 00:29:35","fileurl":""},{"id":109136,"heading":"Leftist Racists","article":"John, Very good points you bring up.

Delusions after delusions, dangerous ones. He's arrogant and aggressive and has a great difficulty to distinguish reality and know what to do with it. Because of this the world is in danger, mainly the US. It's useless to try to stop an aggression with another aggression. September 11th exposed the US' weaknesses to the world and no yelling or outbursts will be able to hide them. The next attack the US suffers will evidence this reality and it will strike Americans like not even the most powerful bomb could do. Depressive they will realize that they were misled to believe people could be tamed when they can't. Those who suffer will always react. And think of life in the US: how could people endure where any carton box left on a sidewalk perpetually means a potential disaster to be avoided; or where nobody can transport anything, communicate or even use a simple locker without being investigated. \r\nThe only solution is an equal world without exploitation where no reasons for revolts existed and where the US could benefit of a better image among all the peoples in the world.
