If Islamists are taking over Europe
[Read the article: The Islamists are coming]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]how will we stop them? Are "they" outbreeding "us"? If so, how would those who are terrified of a Sharia State keep Muslims from having babies, at least at the rate that they are now? Maybe I'm not getting something here, but it seems to me that the only way to stop this Muslim explosion, in Sharia-fear World, is to kill more Muslims than are born. Am I wrong? Or would we just do a little ethnic cleansing?
Didn't Hitler have a similar situation for his "problem"?
Shooter seems to understand the "problem" -- perhaps he could explain his idea of a solution.

GB & WT
[Read the article: The Islamists are coming]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Golden Boy's job is to bash Muslims. He never posts here, except when the opportunity to demonize Muslims appears, then he's on it like a shot.
He has an agenda, and it is to turn Muslims into the Jews of the 21st century. My only question is what color armband he would have them wear, yellow being so already done and all.

Padilla the Very Scary Terrorist
[Read the article: The Padilla verdict]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What is so pathetic about all the Administration's hullabaloo about Padilla, the actions taken against him, the torture, the isolation, all the extra-legal crap, was that it was to target a third rate gang member who wanted to be part of Al Queda and wasn't very good at it. For that, we have to suspend the constitution? Our Republic (what's left of it) is so fragile that Jose Frickin' Padilla is a threat to it?
How we've managed to survive for over 200 years with murderers, rapists, arsonists, thieves, etc., among us must be a marvel to the Bush Administration.
Suspend the constitution! There's a Bad Man in the country!!!!! He's a Muuuuuuslim!!!! Eeeeeek!

Sysprog -- Lantos' bill and war with Iran
[Read the article: The Padilla verdict]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How will the Democrats in Congress react to the "deal with Iran, and then Iraq will resolve itself" approach?
The Democrats in Congress will fall in line behind that approach:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-1400
H.R. 1400: Iran Counter-Proliferation Act of 2007
[...] (15) the United States should designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which purveys terrorism throughout the Middle East and plays an important role in the Iranian economy, as a foreign terrorist organization under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, place the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on the list of specially designated global terrorists, and place the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on the list of weapons of mass destruction proliferators [...]
H.R. 1400 is sponsored by U.S. Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA). As of this morning, he has 323 co-sponsors.
Iran? It's on.
-- sysprog
This is so damn depressing and scary. Lantos is a Dem but he's a big Israel-firster. (Though why any sane person thinks that attacking Iran will help Israel in the long run.....but then, I'm not "serious".) I wrote to my own Rep. who's a Republican warmongering fundamentalist wacko (I just recently got a letter from him in response to a previous contact in which he tells me that Iran has "directly threatened the U.S.") Then went down the list and e-mailed all of the Reps from my state who are co-sponsoring this awful bit of legislation. Doubt that it will help but I can't just do NOTHING.
I believe we are doomed.

Tom Lantos and his anti-Iran bill is one answer
[Read the article: Why is the Democratic Congress so unpopular?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=21888
His bill has over 300 co-sponsors now.
It's a little hard to expect the Dems to do much to stop Bush while they're actively trying to gin up war with Iran.
And don't forget that the Congress caved to AIPAC and deleted from a bill the condition that Bush had to get Congressional approval before attacking Iran.
This Congress has the task not only of standing up to Bush and his nutjob followers, but standing up to AIPAC and the Likudnik lobby. That's a lot to ask of people who, in general, aren't full of high principle and courage. I don't see it happening.
We're staying in Iraq and we're going after Iran.

But Walter...
[Read the article: The enduring myth of Americans' dislike of investigations]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Don't you wish everybody would just shut up about the Bush administration's taxpayer-paid propaganda, military imperialism, brutal rapacity, constant lying, terminal greed, cover-ups, smear campaigns, torture camps, crimes of treason, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and assorted genocidal screw-ups?
Well, don't you?
-- walter_map
...if you don't like what the administration is doing, you can vote for somebody else in the next election. That's the way democracy works. In the meantime, shaddup. And besides, you sound like a traitor anyway. Your time to be able to speak with the freedom you obviously hate will soon be up. Do you like your torture wet or dry?
(P.S. /snark)

Nab-man
[Read the article: Ending the war vs. supporting the troops]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How overthrowing a secular dictator and instituting chaos and a Islamist government in Iraq is "draining the swamp" is beyond me. The rest of your statements are just so outside reality that they're not even worth trying to refute.
I do think, however, that what you have stated is what most of the Bush Dead Enders honestly believe. Thank you for that clear and chilling insight into the mentality.

Tiberius inadvertently gets it right
[Read the article: Mike McConnell's clear explanation of FISA]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bad laws...
are a fact of life and this one was way over due for a change. It's yet to be determined if the admin broke the law, regardless of Glenn's fervent need to bring down Bush.
-- tiberius
The fact that no one knows what the Executive Branch has been doing is exactly the problem. Our system of government is predicated on transparency and oversight/balance by the different branches.
