I am trying to understand why. I wil never agree that someone is willing to die to kill me because they "hate freedom".

And where once in all of my time here on this forum have I ever said that?
Seriously, don't patronize my position, or mischaracterise it.
And I will never try to understand a greedy lust for power and domination, acted out through acts of violence against innocents and fueled by the manipulation of a powerless mass marginalised by their own leaders, by their own societies.

There was this interesting cartoon in my paper a couple of years back. It showed a soldier with a big knife that just cut down a big tree labeled al Qaeda, in the next cartoon, five little trees labeled al Qaeda showed up. I think the effective solution is to keep cutting the trees down.

You seem to agree with the premise of the cartoon but still think that's the best solution? Is it the concept of exponential growth that you disagree with?

I don't disagree with the exponential growth concept, but I am confident their cause will die down eventually. One side will have to give up, and it isn't going to be us.

I did not mean it in that way. I guess a smile would have helped. I know how you feel and see the logic.
I was only trying to state my position.
You should know I have huge respect for you on this forum. The main reason I discuss issues with you is because of you are willing to hear both sides and then make a logical explaination of the opposing view.
Again sorry
