People must be critical of government and system in a true democracy. Sitting down and shutting up is not the right thing to do. If you don't like, don't say anything. But this thread was supposed to be about something serious, how come it didn't materialize into anything except spam? I think Skythe is just pissed off because we've had these conversations before, and the only conclusion (before derailing) has been that Bush is a moron and there's too much violence in the world nowdays. Besides, no matter how we critisize, it doesn't really change anything....hence "useless". So? It doesn't mean we can't have them again. This is a Current Affairs board and this is a current affair. It is an important issue to discuss. If he or you doesn't like it, stay out, it's that simple. And to add to random's post, another source (possibly the main source) of the terrorist problems stem from the Israel (and its allies) vs. Palestine (Islam) issue. That is the tinderbox of the Middle East. If and when that issue is resolved (which it won't), that would be a HUGE step towards to safety of the world.
