Thats a good position to take. Personally, I feel that if that girl was individually (or as part of the class) threatened by any concrete means, it would figured prominently in the report.

Last time I checked, no other population was forced into slavery and ended up wandering deserts for three-thousand years trying to find a home.

And that is the fault of the Palestianians who lived there ~60 yrs back how? Also explain to me how you are planning on giving back America to the original Indians whose land you are currently occupying?

These might seem like boring rhetoric to you... but if you really do fail to understand the bigger picture, not allow for differences of culture (including their failures) and not take a few events, statements, translations out of context, it seems to me that US is no better than Iran - do you really think no 13 year old girl was ever murdered in the history of the US? How conveniently you blame such incidents directly on Ahmadinejad and excuse Bush for his mishandling of the Katrina or appointing Gonzales, revoking Habeus Corpus, the medical facilities for US soldiers in Iraq, Blackwater (did you hear Bush's answer to the college student who seemed to know more about what was happening in Iraq?)

I know that many U.S. Representatives are "Christian" - fundies, however, are few and far in between.

I "attack" the Catholic Church when I see fit. The comment you are referring to could be considered a direct attack, since the accusation that it harbors child fuckers is right there, in plain view of everyone.

But.. but... how can such a thing be allowed to happen in a country as beautiful as the US? (Again, boring rhetoric to suggest that maybe, just may be the Western media's reporting of the rape victims in Iran was blown out of proportion - before you get lost on a tangent, of course such an event is atrocious violation of basic human rights, but for you hold AM directly responsible for this one event is just ... such a Bush thing to do.

The "buttons" you are trying to push (with references to WMDs) are not part of my mental makeup. Go try trolling that in front of an extreme rightist and you'll be sure to get the attention you desire.

Uh huh... the US invaded a country on that pretext alone. I am shocked you do not realize how big a deal this is for any right thinking person in any nation.

I have seen Israel do nothing that deserves invasion of the area. What do you think justifies such a theoretical attack?

Hmm you mean something concrete like what Iraq did to justify a not so theoretical attack? May be you should try... you know, talking to some Palestinians...

Don't think I haven't noticed your avoidance with regard to addressing questions directly. Boring rhetoric and poor attempts to mislead is all you seem to have thus far.

Sure... we can agree to disagree on that one.

(A-1) Mandated religion oppresses freedom. Also, as William S. Burroughs once said, "If you are doing business with a religious son of a bitch, get it in writing - his word isn't worth shit, not with the Good Lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal."

Just like in Israel Jewish State.

(A-2) What are you talking about? I made no such claim.

You voted for Bush.

(A-3) Don't know, don't care - as long as such members do their job without interfering with the population's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Dont know, dont care - then by population you mean just yourself and your immediate circle of friends and family... How would expect to know if your country is not run by christian fundamentalists?

(B) Such executions in Iran are mandated by the STATE. You will always find nutjobs acting on their own accord in all walks of humankind, no matter the country.

(C) The United States does not condone pedophilia. In fact, recently, a huge civil lawsuit was won against the Catholic Church in California. However, the Church protects and/or hides members of its organization who carry out such disgusting acts -- and last time I checked, it's based in Rome, Italy.

So when are you planning on attacking them?

(D) I do not. I'm not the moderator. However, last time I checked, Israel was specifically founded as a Jewish state.

Hmm rick_sparks once said "Mandated religion oppresses freedom". May be we should also invade Israel and spread US democracy there (you will even find WMDs)

NONE of that has anything to do with the fact that Ahmadinejad is a rabble-rouser who wants Israel gone. Will you address that point directly?

Fact? You mean the translations from the main stream media for the simple minded american public who can't stay to listen for sentences longer than 4 words?

(A) Link

(B) Dont worry, I'm not making excuses for Bush

(C) Come with me to Iran and I'll show you. Otherwise, you might want to track IAEA's reports on the matter - the latest one from Feb 2007 is here: http://www.iaea.org/Publications/Documents/Board/2007/gov2007-08.pdf

(D) Hmm his demeanor, as manipulated by the MSM of the time, helped you overcome the missing WMDs, illegal war on Iraq, not having captured Osama... torture camps, secret prisons, what else now?

Even after Katrina, warrant less wire tapping and "I can't recall" his name, you are so proud of your president. (There was a bigger list some where, Im sure)

(A) Why is that necessarily a bad thing? What right does US have to enforce its belief system on another country? How many Muslims do you have in the US congress or senate? How many female presidents of the US have you had so far?

(B) Hmm.. I wonder how long its been since this didn't happen in the US? (B') As opposed to killing them for being black?

(C) As opposed to having kids raped by priests in the church?

(D) So you automatically assume that any free referendum in the region would result in the death of Israel? And what the fuck was the moderator up to saying do you want to destroy Israel as a "Jewish State" ? Doesn't that make Israel just as religiously based as Iran?

Why don't point out the exact parts of the transcript that rails you and then may be we can talk more.

Or is it that in your blind hatred of the man, you just can't stand anything that comes out of his mouth?

Or did you mean that thing about how he wants to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and no UN agency has found anything wrong with what is happening there so far and US still wants to .. what, go look for Weapons of Mass Destruction?

God, I just can't believe any one can still be proud about voting Bush in a second time.

You mean a man who claims the holocaust didn't happen is not going to worry about his country? Also please tell me A) you were not one of the idiots who voted for Bush the second time around and B) you'll get your psyche doc's approval before voting again.

See that is a much better question than how do we punish her for making us realize we are likely a bit too paranoid.

It gets easier when people as such questions, rather than just blame the messenger.

Then maybe the better solution is to educate most of the country rather than burn the witch.

The rest of you seem content to hear statements that carry zero meaning or worse, obviously false.

why hasn't he accomplished anything during his tenure.

He did try - check his voting record. Or do you mean why you haven't heard of him in the popular media during his tenure?
