The only way the world wouldn't have to worry about terriosts is if the terrorists themselves leave the Islamic countrys and take care of there own.Who's really the terriorists?

Trital Parsi is an agent (lobbyst)for hated -ANGLO/AMERICAN islamic republic-
this retard was assistant to BOB NEY ,the corrupted congressman who lobbied for islamic republic and currently doing time in federal prison....what he does is bribing politicians (who are mostly but not all corrupt) trying to lobby and justify the existance of criminal regime of islamic republic ,responsible for executions,stoning and hanging of millions of iranians and funneling fund to terror organizations.

LOBBY2000,
You have no idea what the hell you are talking about. It is so funny that all three trashy groups of Fascist Israeli lobbyists, left-over of Pahlavi Trash and finally servants of Islamic regime attacking him and naming him names. Trital Parsi's family, including his father were suffered and imprisoned during both Pahlavi's Trash and Trashy Mullahs and now a Trashy Pro Israeli Fascists and a garbage liar like you to attack him is understandable, because he is a true Iran Lover.

I grew up in a lillte town , 16 kids in our family. And I will tell you know that if the federal goverment or local establishment would have pushed on us like we have in the rest of the world to others. We would have killed them. Bin laden is a great man for standing up for his people, even though we lable him as a terroist
chinable (January 29, 2008 at 6:40 am)
typically—at least in my view—a great man does not stand up for 'his' people by:
A) exacting mass murder and terror on others
B) doing actions that bring the marines to 'his' country ready to kick the ass of the people 'he' was standing up for.

Also, ask yourself what is a worse form of imposition: the pre-9/11 status quo or the post-9/11 overt military intervention?
jumbolachi (February 18, 2008 at 10:22 pm)
Standing up for one's people is great IF you do it right. Violence is almost never right. Bin laden would be more successful if he emulated purveyors of non-violence, like, say, Ghandi or MLK.
paranormal67 (March 28, 2008 at 5:56 pm)
Most white people don't naturally espouse the theories of non-violence that Ghandi embraced. So it is ironic to hear these weapon amassing people sit and lecture "terrorists" that they should be non-violent. Ha! Do they think they are stupid? The US is not be dealt with like an Indian -England situation, but rather as the violent assholes they are to the rest of the world, i.e giving millions in weapons to Israel to kill Palestinian children.
