yes many believe that those people of al quieda are the terrorists. but ill play the devil's advocate. they are doing what they believe to be right, are they not? so who are we to say it is wrong? now change back to the american view, are we not doing what we belive to be right, instilling peace into other parts of the world? we are the ones ow attacking them, from their point of view we are the bad guys. i dont thinkthere is a right or wrong answer to this question, but i would like to know your thoughts

Serial killers and sociopaths believe what they are doing is right - that does not justify the actions or make them "right" The terrorist are motivated by hate. They hate people who have rights and freedom/they hate people they do not understand. Terrorist go out of their way to destroy the things that they do not understand. It does not make it right. It does not justify their actions. They may be following their own set of society rules, but it fact still remains: they are behaving an a manner that goes against the norms of society - including Islam.

Define terrorist again and make sure that we are not acting as described. Unfortunately, we have many that fit the definition of terrorist working in our military and in the leadership of our own country.

I've written that the terrorsit is in our own backyard and we need to find a way to identify the terrorist in our own ranks before we try to convince other countries that they have terrorists in their backyards.
I believe that if we had done our homework we could have made a difference by providing an example of how a decision to weed out the infidel is made.
Our example is highly flawed and the result is proven by the fighting on the ground in Iraq.
The fault can rest squarely on the shoulders of our highest leader. He is responsible for the flawed intelligence and failure that he created and knew about.
If our Commander in Chief was a real Christian he would know what to do next. I expect him to resign, but I won't hold my breath. I pray that the problems created can be repaired.

We're not terrorists, though. We don't drive a bus into a crowded market place in Baghdad and blow up a couple hundred harmless civilians. Regardless of faluty intelligence, we're in Iraq now. It would be more irresponsible of Bush to quit and make someone else clean up his mess. Personally, I think he's doing a great job. I feel safe in my home with him in the White House. With a democrat in office, I'd be looking over my shoulder at every middle eastern person i saw.

We're us. And that gives us the right to say they're wrong. We must fight for what we believe in, for our own survival. Our lives are our own. If we believe that the terrorists have a right to do what they do, we have deemed our own lives worthless, and thereby deserving of their actions. Do you honestly believe you deserve to die at the hands of fanatical lunatics?

yes you have started good question and i prefers you that how people af al quieda thinks that they are the terrorists.
Even my uncle was gone their ,he tells us their some people wants to get freedom but some of the army people who camed from PAKISTAN are now being the terrorists because of the pakistani government .i would likes to tell u that in alquida when pakistan army was in work then pakistani government called back some of the force.but which army lefted the pakistani named them taliban.i mean now few army peoples are in al quida but pakistani says their is no one from our country.
i knews this by my uncle because he the commander in army from indian force he was gone their he meet some of the pakistani army peoples and he helped them to reach pakistan.
i thinks pakistan is the major problem becuase pakistan is helping to increase in terrorists

Maybe this will help you understand the differance between a Terrorist and an American.
If you have a problem with a terrorist he will come to your home rape your wife, kill her then kill all your kids.
If you have a problem with an American he will come to your house kick your butt and kill just you.
I hope that helps you understand the differance.

but my point was that they are doing what we think is right and they are doing what they think is right. and i wasnt asking what the difference was, i was only trying to broaden your view of the world, but it seems that ignorance is narrowmindedness

We can only do what we think is right. If we think that what they think is right, we become them, and make our lives meaningless. They believe our lives are worthless. You think that's acceptable?
