I find it noteworthy that Muqtada al Sadr wants three days of mourning because the BUILDING was further damaged. Never mind all the PEOPLE that get blown up every day - let's mourn the BUILDING.

Your cowardly comment to me in a private message reads as follows:
Did your parents have any kids that lived?
Dude...wake up!
U.S.M.C. 91
Then you don't accept return messages. You're a coward! Is that one of the tactics they teach at 29 Palms, you loser.

To quote a famous movie line - "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!" These people are ALL pigs. Both sides. Let them kill each other off - less for the civilized folks to deal with. Question - What do you call 100 dead radical muslims inside a blown up mosque? Answer - a good Start!
Ins'Allah

I think that they need some hippies. I like hippies. hippies like peace. THEY NEED PEACE! How many times are they gonna blow each other up before they realize that EVERYONE'S GOD WANTS THE SAME THING!
*no killing
*love each other
*live the best lives that you can
---there may be some other differing messages on how to worship and such, but LOVE is what is important.

  oh PLEASE foksipain....hippies?
  NO ONE needs hippies anymore. We put a fork in them a long time ago. Useless, doped-up, in-need-of-a-shower HIPPIES?! GET REAL! Are you NUTS?!?
  No, I think the Middle East needs people who want to WORK. WORK to make things better. WORK toward building their future. WORK towards obtaining businesses, technology, educational institutions and human rights.
  The LAST thing this world needs are hippies.
