The Pendragon's Hall

Interesting article on Guliani, what a snake.
 

You said it, bro. Are you having 1996 flashbacks too--when we got stuck with Dole?
 

but falwell did the same. because those people were ''ACLU members, abortionists, feminists, gays and lesbians'' they were responsible for 9/11. to qoute fallwell. 'I point the finger in their face and say, you helped this happen.
my critcism on people like fallwell is that they, just as the terrorists, are fighting some sort of 'holy war', were there is no room for reflexion.
 

Last time I checked people like Falwell didn't go around killing innocent people. But terrorists do, if you're trying to draw parallels between Islam and Christianity, better do some more research. Of course if you did that you would find out the truth and I'm not sure you could handle it.
 

So why wasn't the media upset with Ward Churchill calling the victims "little Eichmanns"? I agree that Falwell made an insensitive remark, but so does anyone who tries to blame victims for the crime. Rereading my entry, I find only that I claimed Falwell's supporters and critics had different criteria for what would constitute a punishable offense and I stand by what I said. Ward Churchill and his ilk thinks America deserves to be punished simply because we are America. Falwell had a certain understanding of what was right and wrong (and that can certainly be debated) and thought America had transgressed. As for your "Holy War" analogy, the war had become a war of attrition long before 9/11. Osama bin Laden declared it so himself, and has repeatedly stated that we will have to kill them all in order to win and they would try to do the same. One can accuse the US of thoughtlessness in its dealings with the Middle East, but never was utterly wiping out the Islamic nations a goal of our foreign policy. In this light, I'm afraid I just can't agree with you--Falwell and people like him have a better measure of the war. The only way to win an all-out war is to fight it to the bitter-end.
 

I'm sorry but I've never heard of Ward Churchill, I don't live in the US. It's a disgusting remark of him, just like Fallwell saying 9/11 is to blame on those people who 'tried to secularize america'.

and the only way to win this war, is by winning hearts and minds and to not betray your own values, i.e. you don't torture people to fight torture. then, in the hearts and minds of many people, you have sunken as low as the enemy you are fighting.
