The cowardly crazies in Paris were crazies just like McViegh and Nichols, dressed more like SWAT team members. Their actions violated the very teachings of Mohammed, but like ALL “bible base” religions, the original message has been altered by latter day zealots and fanatics. “Shock and Awe”, Gaza, Beirut, thousand slaughtered by cowards in power, updated book of Joshua. Maybe the message hasn’t changed.
Masterskrain: not to offend, but my office-mate for 23 years was also a Navy veteran of Viet Nam. One day he related his “scary” experience of having a hostile round land “only” a quarter mile away from their ship. As an Army guy, I asked him how he’d have felt about 6 feet outside his bunker, or getting shot down 6 times. Again, not to offend, but different people DO have different “interpretations” of where courage to survive leads to total “distaste” for chickenhawks. My son was Navy, 13 years, never served on a boat, and we were talking one night via sat phone when an IED went off, and the transmission from the truck carrying it went through the door he was standing next to. He also was quite pleased their new armored windows would stop even “armor piercing” rounds that hit right next to his head. Another co-worker was in the Marines, fueling helicopters, and never heard or saw any “shot” fired in anger anywhere near him during his ’Nam tour. So I try not to judge without further information from folks of different branches.
But Guard folks who served in Alabama after our investment in their training went unrepaid, are chickenhawks I do have specific sentiment about.

I’d like to see gocomics post a few of the cartoons that got the Islamic terrorists so incensed in the first place

While you babble, more children will be beheaded for refusing to conform.

Nobody in the South is committing murder after about 150 years. The Muslims are still taking heads after 1400 years. That’s where you’re babbling.

dzw: I guess dragging someone behind a pickup until his head pops off doesn’t count in the South?
