seem to grasp whats going on with the whole situation of judging the
violence in terms of religion.

I have read some very interesting comments and views, interestingly when someone is seen in anyway as to "defend" the actions of the Muslim sides group of extremists, it's like a lamb surrounded by wolves...

Remember this, each country / locality / city town or village have their own localized problem. These problems are historic, for example the rich the poor, the never ending saga.....then there are the different degrees of this problem,
the individual has a relevance as does the country, the individual wants to have a good life, and the country, we hope strives for the good of it's people.

Hearing comments, defending religions, attacking religions, using the very name of a religion as a label, if the extremists say their actions are carried out in the name of god, then aren't we also falling into a trap where by we use "religion" as the sole cause and function of our countries actions and policies in these times?

The body count has become a statistic, a gage on how things are going.....

It has been said that in Rio De Janeiro, there are more deaths EVERY DAY due to gun battles between police and "criminal gangs", than that which we see reported from Iraq,
(Not sure if they meant before or after the "war")
(the kids of the gangs baring very much the majority of the loss!)

I found this a shocking fact. check out Ross Kemp's BBC documentary

Look at Africa, what could be described as a variety of wars going on, Dictators far worse that Saddam, continue to dominate, not a whisper of
the spread of democracy there, why?......many of us know why, even the people who could make a difference know why, but nothing is done.

Leave it to the Rock Stars, with all respect to those guys. They are far greater people that some leaders of countries. The goal ? a change and hope for a rescue to the already disastrous situation in some African nations.

Maybe they will also try and shed some similar hope on Iraq and other
war torn nations....Because if it's left to the GW and the "appointed" PM of Iraq, we'll continue to hear it's all moving forward nicely......

.....smile GW, smile, ( Shouldn't someone tell George not to smile when a reporter is asking a question about the carnage in Iraq, we know he already has the answer ready, please someone tell him to at least match facial expression with the topic at hand, show a sliver of sincerity, or would that be too real for his supporters ?)


Anyways, I guess my point is that we need to see through the dressing of politician's and their crone media peoples , the convenient labels,


Religion , as much as I disagree which some aspects of various religions, it's not the cause of this present situation of "War on Terror".....Fire on Inferno...



There are a lot of very very serious problems, I only hope the good does out weigh the bad, and that some justice and truth are actually realized by the people most effected......

For me , it costs more to drive now,

For my Iraqi peers, they would most likely wish for such a simple and trivial thing.
