--in public, what they would do; kill Americans or refuse to do so. Would they warn Americans that a Jihad was coming? Would they hide and protect Americans? Good way to find out how Islam works.

--- and kill all the Americans they could. I then asked all these America loving Kuwaiti Muslims what they would do if a Holy Jihad were called right now. With no change in expression or voice tone, and in total agreement, they said that they would HAVE TO KILL Americans, including me. They said they had no choice; that to not follow the Imam's decision they would be forbidden to enter Paradise. During the year I asked at least 5 other groups of Kuwaiti's the same question, and while some wouldn't answer, almost all responded that they would have no choice but to kill Americans. Some people need to read the Quran, as I did, and ask what it means to Muslims. Also it might be instructive if you go to the local Mosque and ask them,

I WAS WORKING IN Kuwait IN '94-95. Went to local tea houses 2-3 nights a week where I had tea and smoked the 'hubbly bubbly' (hookah) and talked. The men were from a variety of jobs, construction workers, taxi drivers, mechanics, shop owners, clerks, etc. Not highly educated but certainly not unintelligent. A discussion came up one night about Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, the of America's help in kicking him out. Everyone there offered great praise and thanks to America and to Americans. One night talk was about a top Imam who was saying it was time for all infidels to go home now. For some reason I remembered that Imams were telling Muslims that a Holy Jihad was going to be announced, and all Muslims should immediately search out

How many criminals become repentant only after getting caught and convicted? And you believe them? I suggest that you and your god adopt them and take responsibility for their future actions; i.e. if they kill or harm someone while in your custody, the same should be applied to you.

Perhaps a majority of our elected representatives actually do support the Constitution; or at least they understand that a lot of their voters back home will vote the other way if they pass a law that changes the Constitution.

Great article! With my own children, I spent many hours worried about their safety. Then one was killed at age 19, in Afghanistan, by a suicide bomber at a food market. My policeman brother was shot and stabbed to death by a woman who had called for help in a battering situation. While my brother was handcuffing the man, she shot him, then stabbed him several times. In both cases my family and I suffered a great deal of mental pain, and frustration. In neither case, however, did we blame the weapons involved. Nothing that anyone can say or do will made the Newtown parents feel better, or recover faster. Many will never recover from the grief. But, I choose not to give up my rights to own guns.

I intended the post to be strongly sarcastic....

After you, SO6.

White people don't have the right to complain. Their time of despotic rule of people of color is now over. It's time for the people of color to create an American model from their vision of an acceptable culture. They are cooperating on developing the model, with only minor disagreements about which parts of the cultures from Mexico, Egypt/Saudi Arabia and Nigeria must be included. Who can disagree that those three cultural models are the very best in the world.

Plus, we can certainly depend on the press to report honestly what occurred in the meetings.
