The video portrays virtually the same tone and message that our adversaries in the middle east expressed following 9/11:* Anything bad that happens to us is the fault of our government.* And that is just not true.* And the Hussein part...he was indeed a Muslim, albeit a "nominal" one as documented in a variety of sources.* And given the recent history of that religion, it certainly matters to me.
Yes, the video was thought provoking - my thoughts were provoked, and I expressed them...just not the way some of you agree with.* Oh well. :dontknow:
I don't have any problem with this thread being moved to the political heading.*
