Hello Björn,

 FV> Ok. I'll continue to insert my POV and other things as well.

I'm hardly in a position to stop you. :)

 FV> Sorry. If one hits you, you hit back. If the terrorists hit you, hit back.
 FV> A good way to escalate a difference into a war, but it seems to be the way

 BF> Then attack the terrorists that are responsible and don't attack an

 BF> Why is ObL still free and alive while 30,000 Iraquis are dead? It's no

 BF> Perhaps you haven't heard me saying this before so I say it again,
 BF> Bush invaded Iraq for the wrong reason and that's what make the rest

I've asked and felt the same way. I'm not sure why the invasion took
place, but I didn't like it from the beginning. I want to know why
OBl is still free too. I read, hear and am told story after story.
None with answers that can be proven and not all from USA sources.
Who the hell should I believe??? I don't have the answer to that and
I've not found anyone that does have the answer.

 FV> Yes, and if you turn the other cheek and you get hit again and again, what
 FV> then? The meek may inherit the earth, but I wonder if they would want it?
 FV> After the rest of the people get through terrorizing and raping the earth,

 BF> The U.S. isn't totlly innocent either so I wonder who really did the

No one is totally innocent. Not even (maybe especially not) in this
echo. I have no idea who started what in any of the attacks, slapping
or other stuff inside or outside this echo, topic or anywhere else.
Like I said: "Who should I believe???"

 FV> I really don't have an answer. I just know that this radical group of
 FV> terrorists can't be allowed to win. I have no desire to change languages
 FV> and/or religions... or other such things. By constantly backing up from

 FV> in their interpretation of their holy book.

 BF> No, it isn't.
 BF> Like with the Bible it *can* be interpreted in so many ways but for a
 BF> *true* muslim it's the religion of peace.

That is what I said. The small group of terrorists have their
interpretation and the rest have a different interpretation. Sorry if
that wasn't clear.

 BF> How many Christians live up to the 10 commandments for example? How
 BF> many follows the Bible? Does Bush?

How can anyone live up to anything when the world, and its people,
changes daily.... sometimes more often than daily?

 FV> I'll live and let live, but
 FV> when someone slaps me, I tend to get a bit pissed. I may have to take it
 FV> because I'm smaller, but if I'm not smaller, I will demand the ceasing of
 FV> the treatment.
 BF> See my answer to what Frank Schiedt wrote. That's what pisses *us* up.
 BF> Is he to be called a true Christian?

I have no idea of his religious belief or anyone elses belief.

 FV> NOTE: I'm not talking about all of the people of that religious faith.
 FV> Most are good people and I have no problems with those.
 BF> Like I have no problem with you but I do have with the other Frank.
 BF> Listening to him is like seeing/listen to a n old bl/w film from
 BF> Germany from 1935 when the brown-boots started to march here in Europe
 BF> and we all know where that took us. Shouldn't we learn something from
 BF> the history?
 BF> Get rid of the fanatics (on both sides) and there will be peace on
 BF> earth.

First you have to define "fanatic". I doubt that Adolph Hitler
considered himself a fanatic. I don't think that OSB considers himself
a fanatic. You could consider me a fanatic... and in some ways, I
probably am.

Definitions from Google:
# marked by excessive enthusiasm for and intense devotion to a cause
or idea; "rabid isolationist"

# a person motivated by irrational enthusiasm (as for a cause); "A
fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the
subject"--Winston Churchill   wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

# Fanaticism, from French fanatique or Latin fanaticus 'of a temple,
inspired by a god'.    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanatic

I fit the first one in some cases. The second one fits a lot of this
echo. :) I kinda like the last one. My fanaticism could make me a
god!! :))

Regards,
Frank
