         Shoua Her takes great pride in the history of military service in her husband's family. His father, grandfather and two great uncles fought the Viet Cong alongside the CIA in what's known as the "Secret War" in Laos.

        Her husband, Kham See Xiong, arrived in the United States as a young refugee with his family. In 2008, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and readied for a combat tour in Afghanistan. Another man in the family would be defending America, the country that had given them a second chance at life after they fled their communist homeland.

        But everything changed on a sunny November day in 2009 in Texas when an Army psychiatrist jumped up on a desk at Fort Hood, yelled "Allahu akbar!" and unleashed 100 rounds from two laser-sighted pistols. Pfc. Kham See Xiong was one of 13 people who were killed; another 32 were wounded

      This man is openly extremist and shouted as much as he gunned people down. This was an act of terrorism with alot of warning signs before it happened.

      Why miss an opportunity to point fingers at the White House? The article did say that it was the Department of Defense that did the classifying. And Republican Chuck Hagel is the Secretary of Defense. Although the fact that these soldiers are not getting the financial support that they need is awful and should be fixed promptly, does it really defy logic that the incident was classified a workplace shooting? Were they in combat at the time?

      But why trip over those facts, or any other facts for that matter? Calling the President and his administration "rat-bastards" was an especially nice touch. It is eloquently meaningless. Did you come up with that yourself? Surely, there's more where that came from. "Our wonderful country" did elect him twice. While you dine on sour grapes. Bureaucratic red-tape is nonpartisan. You sir, are not.

      Hasan, the filth, called it war himself. The atrocity was no more workplace violence than your twice-elected president represents your nation's best interests.

      Thank you. I was rather proud of my response, myself. And the electorate obviously disagrees with you, having elected the President twice, your vociferous opposition notwithstanding. And yes, we should always take the word of the criminal on the crime he is accused of committing. If a rapist calls rape consensual sex, ah, what are we to do; he so defined it. If "Hassan the filth" declared his nefarious act to be war, ah yes, we are required to abide by his definition. The absurdity of the foregoing proposition is all too apparent. More grease to thy elbows.

      Your comment is insipid and disingenuous. Hagel has always been more Dem regardless of his affiliation and was appointed by Obama. He serves in a Dem administration. Obama has the power to make this problem go away for these soldiers and their families. Calling him a "rat bastard" is mild condemnation for a "leader" who leaves our servicemen and women and their families hanging in the wind while he takes a nice vacation guaranteed to cost taxpayers in the tens of millions of dollars.
      The victims of 9/11 and their families got millions and well deserved. Should our troops and their families deserve less in a clear terrorist event? They deserve much better.

      A comment is "insipid?" How interesting. Hypocrisy makes for an uncomfortable raft on the high seas. I seem to recall a certain President Bush - who for all his faults, I never learned to hate - taking vacations throughout his presidency while at least one unjustified war was raging, and corpses were raining. "Mild condemnation" was nowhere in sight at the time. Nor were parties convening for tea as they are now.

      The President is not required to intervene or even have a say in a relatively autonomous department's affairs. The victims of 9/11 were attacked by foreigners albeit who had spent time in the U.S. A far more clear-cut act of terrorism, from that standpoint. It is all moot, though. All the hatred in the world will not undo the will of the electorate this past season. Keep at it.

      We have had too few in our government for most of its history who were not rat bastards. President Jackson's treatment of the "Five Civilized Tribes" was just the beginning of America's own apartheid. President Hoover ordered troops to attack WWI veterans ("Bonus Army") when they marched on Washington DC. The attacks were led by George Patton and Douglas MacArthur. Look it up. Reagan conducted secret wars against the native people of Central America. A. Lincoln ordered the execution of 38 Dakota Indians for "rebellion." He never did the same to any Confederate leaders. Our returning veterans have never been treated well. As a country, we're $crewed.

      This is a slap in the face to ALL Americans to call it 'work-place' violence! Our Gov.'s. priorities are NOT with the American people! I could not have dreamed the day would come when I'd feel; "I do not trust my Gov." sadly, that day has, in fact, come. The 13 soldiers shot by Hassan were first betrayed by him & then, by our Gov.

      Mkat, I strongly believe that the Ft. Hood incident should have been classified as a terrorist act by an Islamic extremist/terrorist. But it was not up to Obama to do so. It was DoD's decision to call it as a work place incident. However, as the Commander-in-Chief, Obama could have easily overruled the decision makers and called the incident as a terrorist act. I attribute his attitude to his big time liberal way of thinking as opposed to his personal background. I seriously doubt that he was ever a muslim. He was more or less an atheist until he chose christianity as his religion.

      As we saw with Bengahzi, all the offices and groups in the Obama administration "consult" with each other. Even before the DoD decision, all the official groups in the White House kept labeling it Work Place Violence. That was their lie from day 1. So when the DoD had to decide on what to classify it, do YOU think they would go against the story put forth by Obama and his press corp? Or would they be good soldiers and call it what he wanted???

      You are right. Only the MPs are allowed to carry guns on base. The soldiers, airmen and navy personnel are issued M-16s when they are deployed to war zones. I believe the officers and MPs are also issued handguns. All weapons are packed and loaded onto metallic 'pallets', which gets shipped on a cargo plane. The deployment/processing facility such as the one at Ft. Hood is used to take care of all the administrative stuff and make sure the soldiers have all the mandatory things in their possession.

What about all of the Christian activists that have signed a Defensive Action Statement justifying the killing of one of those abortion doctors. Most Christians would say these individuals didn't follow the true teachings of Christianity, just as most Muslims would say about extremists that claim to murder in the name of Islam. Is there a difference? Should either group have to take responsibility? To me, no one group is responsible, we all have to weed out any and all extremists, regardless of religion.

      Anders Breivik committed mass murder and was hoping muslims would be blamed, in an effort to drive Islam out of his country. so, in a strange way, the motivation was somewhat based off Islam, except as a reaction to it.

      Personally, I think it would have made much more sense to have committed violence against muslims or the mosques, instead of trying to pin terrorism on them in his country, but who know how mad men think?

      I agree with you as far as Sharia law is concerned. It's definately incompatible with democracy. However, it's naive and foolish of you to think that some how all muslims are responsible for the behavior of one of them. As a christian, am I supposed to be responsible for the likes of Jimmy Swaggert, who have stained christianity? Sure, any event or bad behavior of well known christians such as Pat Robertson troubles me. But I am NOT in any way responsible for their behavior. Likewise, Major Moron is responsible for his own behavior as any other adult. It's virtually impossible for any group or community to control the behavior of each individual in their group/community. Your way of thinking defies logic and reasoning.

      I would agree with you except that you, as a Christian, speak out against those who dishonor your faith. The Muslim community, as a whole, has been pretty silent about the actions of their extremists. Where I come from, silence equals consent. When the Muslim community stands up in outrage and speaks openly against terrorist atrocities.... then I'll be more understanding and accepting of their faith as belonging in a 21st century world.

Yes, there were a few, that spoke up against the attacks, but some of them tried to justify by coming up with moral equivalence to what Israel was doing in the middle-east. Obviously, that was NOT acceptable for me.

      Where I come from, silence equals people have better things to do with their lives than pacify the likes of you or anyone else that may not be "accepting of their faith". Despite that numerous groups did speak out against this and all other attacks. I've asked numerous Christians why they don't speak out against some of the numerous extremist groups with ties to Christianity and I usually get something to the tune of well I've never heard of them or they aren't real Christians. So why would you expect Muslims to go out of their way? Some try and it obviously gets them no where by the ignorant posts seen here.

      "Silence implies consent" is a quote from Sir Thomas Moore at the turn of the 16th century. I'm sorry, I'm not saying you're wrong but I didn't hear "numerous" Muslim groups speaking out against 9/11.... I just saw the video of Muslims celebrating the event in Jordan. We don't have terrorist groups attached to Christianity too much anymore unless you count the right to life folks that blow up birth control clinics. As far as extremist Christian associated cults go.... they usually end up in court for one thing and another. Christianity has a violent and intolerant past but have started to learn from their mistakes and become civilized. Islam is 600 years younger than Christianity but I'm not sure the world should have to wait another 600 years for Islam to grow up. Muslims in general don't seem to have much interest in condemning Al Qaida for murdering innocent civilians or the Taliban for shooting school girls. If Islam is such a wonderful and worthwhile faith, why would it be going out of anyone's way to object to mass murder? What exactly are their values if massacre of innocents is not worth "going out of their way"? I'm generally a pacifist. I'm almost completely a live and let live person who doesn't care who or how anyone worships. But when one religion demonstrates over and over and over again that violence against others is excusable in the interest of faith....well I get a little frustrated.

      Yes you have some good points. However, my view does not just rely one act. It considers 40,000 acts of terrorism 98% committed by Muslims in the name of G-d since 1996. My view also considers how people vote with their feet. In the past century there has been a 10,000% increase in Muslim population increase in the west. At the same time there is a 90% decrease in the 56 Islamic countries of minorities. The later represent the largest religious cleansing in history.

      Alright, I do realize that more than 90% of all terrorist acts have been committed by them. They say that they commit these crimes in the name of God. But we all know God would never approve of killing innocent people. These people are brainwashed. They have no idea who God is and what he/she stands for. Think about this: invasion of India by Persian & Turkish Islamist started in 11th century. They still face terrorism from their Islamic neighbors. So, we are not the only ones facing Islamic terrorism. Even Russia and China have gotten a taste of it. I am all for reducing immigration, especially from islamic countries. We don't want to be another europe, where muslims have established themselves firmly in a big way. I realize that most of the non-mulsims have been harassed and driven out of islamic countries. There is some religious tolerance in small countries like Malasia, Bahrain and Dubai. I saw a lot of non-muslims in those countries. Saudi Arabia has no tolerance for non-muslims. They want their expertise and services, but with no religious freedom. People just go there to make money. Once upon a time, countries like Indonesia and Malasia were 100% hindu+budhist countries. In this country, our "beloved" politicians could do somethings like banning burkha and/or long scarfs (hijab).

In fairness to them, NOT all of them think that way. At least, not the well educated and civilized ones. Kurdish muslims practice a kinder and gentler version of Islam; so do people of Malasia. I believe muslims in Kosovo, Bosnia, Lebanon and Turkey also do not believe in fundamentalism. Unfortunately, it's the extremists that end up getting into headline news.

      It took a whole 30 seconds on a well known search engine to find numerous Muslim groups that reached out to the Fort Hood victims including the American Muslim Society and the Islamic Society of North America, which created a fund for the victims' families. It's a choice to be ignorant, and such ignorance is just being used to spread more hate among fellow Americans. Congrats and thank you for that.

      What did you do to reach out, as you had just as much of a responsibility as anyone else and likely did nothing.

      He has no point. Terrorism is violence to achieve a political objective.

      Nidal Hasan made it very clear what his objective was when he gunned down the servicemen and women; to end the US invasion and occupation of Arab lands.

      That's how he viewed the US interventions after 911 and he's verbalized a political objective that he tried to achieve through violence.

      It was a act of Terrorism, no matter how much Obama and his minions do not want it to be.

      At the end of the day Obama wanted to get reelected and his minions carried out the message that "Bin Laden is dead and Osama Bin Laden is dead". These were their mantra chants during the entire fall campaign. So they shaped their policies regarding attacks like the one in Texas as something other than Terrorism. Because after all they had defeated it.

      If you think I'm "fixating" on Obama then you are delusional. I focus on his politics and policies, not on him personally. Learn the difference.

      Remember at the end of the day Obama by Executive Order can change the designation of the Fort Hood attacks to a act of Terrorism it really will change nothing in the Nidal Hasan trial, he will never walk free.

      It's why in every branch of the service the medical folks are not "line officers". Their rank is for pay purposes and leadership only within their field. Just like JAGs and some others.
      It's why during one deployment, although there were a couple of Dr's on board the airplane going the same place (as I remember a Capt and a Lt Col), I was considered the "troop commander" as a 2Lt since I was the only line officer that was not a crew member. And the enlisted folks didn't even belong to my command.
      Hence, like you say, the non line officers tend to be not "fill in the service branch" and seem to follow their own rules.

      At this stage, his fate is less important than the way our military and government are treating his victims. What benefit does hanging him bring them more than financial assistance to the spouses who now have no income and have to find jobs as well as pay for childcare to replace the income lost?

      Hang him, shoot him, castrate and quarter him for all I care. But after he has long faded from public eye, their financial and emotional burdens still are front and center.

      And that good people is on the doorstep of our own military hierarchy and the man to whom they report.

      They say you can judge a man by the way he treats his wife. In that case the Joint Chiefs and their boss are no more than worthless cowards who send young men to die and and leave their families to fend for themselves. Maybe the time has come to worry less about whats happening in the backyards of others and tend to our overgrown weeds here at home.

      You are absolutely right David. The government should have been paying the survivors for the Purple Hearts the victims earned when this terrorist shot them on 05 NOV 2009. His pay should have been stopped as well. Personally I think, they should take that 278K and divide it by the number of victims and give it to them with a larger portion going to the 13 victims families who were murdered that day. But, that's just my opinion!!

      Actually, if it is a "friendly fire accident" not in a war zone then they don't get a purple heart.
      In this case the government should not have ruled it anything, not terrorism, work-place violence, or anything until after the trial.
      Then if he is found quilty of treason, terrorism, virtually anything other than just plain murder, then the victims get the PH and such.
      The government does have a point that calling it a terrorist act might result in a mistrial with no hope of a retrying of the case.
      So maybe what we need to do is redefine the criteria for a PH since the war on terrorism (sorry, not an approved term anymore) has no front lines and thus no real "war zone". In a "war zone" they wouldn't have to wait for a determination of terrorism to award the medals and bene's to the families.

      Shoua, I want to commend you on your immense courage. Also please convey to Chor a heartfull "thank you" for his actions in Laos, as well as the rest of the Hmongs who courageously stood beside us Americans and fought a common enemy ! Extremely tough and trust worthy fighters. Shoua, you made one statement that sticks with me, ""The government makes so many promises, but cannot keep them." THAT is so true ! Even in 1970 in the Army, in SE Asia, my government did exactly the same to American Citizens and after returning, reneged on those promises ! Such small promises for the sacrifices that were made and yet, we were forgotten . I know how you must feel, I have felt that pain and unfortunately it never completely goes away.
      I too am appalled at how such obvious terror in the name of islam, is being considered "work place violence". That is contrary to all common sense. I believe it to be more political and pathetically so. You have every right as an American, who has lost so much to be angry, this is NOT how many Americans want our Country to be run. Personally, if I had the means, there would NOT be a single returning soldier to be in a position that suicide looks better than life, there would NOT be any surviving family with financial issues, there would ALWAYS be assistance to those who have given and lost so much. I Pray constantly that stories such as yours don't happen, unfortunately they are happening and it hurts me that I for one can't help.
      PLEASE, as you move forward, "know this" YOU and your family, are in the Prayers of millions of Americans, please don't ever loose hope that things won't get better, they eventually do, please keep the faith.
      Ms. Basu if possible, please forward this posting to Ms. Shoua . If a moderator, please forward to Ms. Basu. This surviving family, needs to know, that there are Americans that support her and all the rest of our military in their struggles. I wish I could do more.

      Thank you.

I KNOW how that feels. I hope Shoua does realize there are many Americans that Pray she gets the support she needs. This should not even be a question about helping survivor's families, who have sacrificed so much. It makes me sick. There is another voice who should hear her story, which is the same as so many families and those who have committed suicide, that is Bill OReilly on Fox news. He is directly responsible for the track chairs for all vets that need them as well as millions of dollars for veterans. I can't speak for him, but he should hear her story. He is my age, the Vietnam age, he knows of some of the sacrifices made by so many natives in helping Americans in country, so her story may resonate, with her husband's family history. Please have her write him, it couldn't hurt. He might be able to embarrass the officials enough to take action. I wish I had the ability to help, I Pray she gets it. Thanks again.

      The most outrageous story of the year. A betrayal by our government which is unforgivable. But there's a pattern . We are involved in grossly mismanaged wars which we lose. Returning veterans injured and disabled are treated in a negligent manner. The military suicide rate is scandalous and the management of the intraservice rapes worse than horrible. 
      Given this environment it is strongly recommended no one join the military . The soldiers' worst enemy is the US government. This is an undeniable fact.

      The PC politics at the DOD is what killed the 13 brave soldiers at Ft Hood. Hasan was preaching jihad and trying to convert soldiers. The only reason he wasn't kicked out was the fact he was 1 of 2 Muslim psychiatrists in the Army. If he'd been an evangelical preaching the bible and telling gay soldiers to repent, he'd be kick out of the army. But he was telling his co-workers Muslims' first priority was to Islam and they were obligated to kill the infidels. So they kept him in. The DOD couldn't look prejudice against Muslims.

      Yes Obama is evil, BUT Obama is not any worse than the people who voted for him.. The people who vote for Democrats WANT Democrats to do these evil things. Because the US allows the people to vote for these evil things , and the people do vote for these evil things, the American people deserve these things to happen at an increasing frequency. Wide arrays of disasters are coming to the USA.

      I'm not surprised by the military reaction. The united states military takes everything while they can. As soon as the service member and their families need help the army has no problem turning their backs on the them. The government takes and takes from our brave men and women serving this country. The least they could do is give the families of the fallen Soldiers the benefits they earned. I wish all the families good luck, and I will definitely have them in my prayers.

      This is what the politicians are really worried about....

      "The Department of Defense and the FBI collectively had sufficient information to have detected Major Hasan's radicalization to violent Islamist extremism, but they failed to act effectively on the many red flags signaling that he had become a potential threat," said Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.

      Hassan said "he acted to defend America's enemies and considers himself a mujahid, or warrior of Islam, and that he shot the soldiers to defend the Taliban.."

      Why would it not be classified as an act or terrorism?

      As I read this, I was trying to decide if this should be called terrorism since that is a central issue. Then I realized it doesn't really matter.

      What's clear is that Major Hassan went over to the enemy. We are at war in Afghanistan, and he was working to further the interests of our enemy. For ten minutes, he turned our own army base into a battlefield.

      I don't care what we call it, but these deaths and injuries should be treated identically to any other battlefield injury. Of course they should be eligible for purple hearts, and whatever goes along with them.

      In his opening statements, Hasan defined himself as a traitor. Treason in time of war is "punishable by death or such other penalty as a Court Martial may direct." He essentially confessed to and pleaded guilty to treason. Time to pass sentence.

      Think of it this way. By claiming work place violence they can try it as a death penalty case and execute him.
      If they called it terrorism, they would have to try him as an enemy combatant and he would just sit in Gitmo for 30 or 40 years.

      In ObamaLand, it's more important to use language to obfuscate the truth than it is to acknowledge reality and fix REAL problems. Terrorist attacks in the Homeland become "workplace violence" (because Obama's numbers must show NO terrorism on his watch); "terrorism" itself has "disappeared" to be replaced by "man-made disasters" (so he can show he's "eliminated terrorism"); Obama has ended all "war" by just renaming it "overseas contingency operations" or "kinetic military action;" "govt spending" is now "investment;" funneling public money to unions that supported his election is called "building infrastructure;" sending taxpayer dough to campaign bundlers is now called "investing in green technology" (like the $500M given to the bundler who ran bankrupt Solyndra). Those brave vets from Ft. Hood who should be receiving benefits based on being in battle are nothing to our Dear Leader. Avoiding blame through semantics is EVERYTHING to him. As Stalin once famously said: "when you make an omlet, you have to 'break eggs.'

      The soldiers who lost their lives and their families deserve nothing less than to be honored for their service and their families to receive all benefits they deserve.

      If the fools hadn't wasted so much time with the beard issue, it would already be a done deed.

      It is my understanding that the federal government paid for Maj. Hassan's medical education and that his many overt declarations of loyalty to radical Islamic "projects" were either ignored or excused. The Defense Department's declaration that this is "workplace violence" is stupid and indefensible. Hassan's opening defense statement that he was the "shooter" should have been enough to cause the judge to declare his not guilty plea negated and rule that he was now pleading guilty and go straight to sentencing. This trial is a farce and a poor example of American justice system.

                  croaton999  Donna Coles 

                  It depends. The most recent case of Fratricide occurred in Iraq.The Army sergeant accused of killing five of his fellow service members .
                  Russell was charged with five counts of premeditated murder, one count of aggravated assault and one count of attempted murder. Despite a recommendation by the colonel who presided over the competency hearings that Russell’s “undisputed mental disease or defect” made the death penalty inappropriate in this case, the Army’s General Court Martial Convening Authority ruled in May it should be a capital case. Sgt. Russell, a 14-year veteran from Sherman, Texas, had previously pleaded guilty to unpremeditated murder in exchange for prosecutors taking the death penalty off the table. Under the agreement, prosecutors were allowed to try to prove to an Army judge at Joint Base Lewis-McChord that the killings were premeditated. This case was ruled to be non-combat related and no awards or medals were issued to the victims.
                  This case dispels the myth that Hasain needed to be classified differently because the military continues to seek the death penalty for these kinds of Murders. Note: Hasain's "work place violence" classification is the first of it's kind since the classification of a terrorist act could provide many more benefits to the victims and their families, but not necessarily any medals or commendations. However, one could argue that the only civilian killed should receive a civilian honorary medal from the President.

                    Thank you for your very intelligent & concise explanation; because that is what I am trying to understand if they differentiated in the classification& why . I do find it hard to believe Sgt Russell ruled non combat, it does seem to me to be a benefits/ money issues that r deciding the classifications.

                      Sgt Russell was trying to get sent back home claiming to have PTSD. When he was refused, he went off the deep end and committed murder. A crime that is punishable by death in the military. With Mgr. Hasain, he claimed he was an enemy infiltrator, committing Jihad. This is a big difference. According to the Commander in Chief, Mr. Obama, it would not have made any difference whether Mgr. Hasain used a gun or a suicide vest. For reasons only he knows this was classified as "workplace violence". Apparently the only advantage for Mr. Obama is that he can claim that this was not an act of terrorism. Unfortunately this also means that the victims and their families cannot get the benefits they otherwise would be eligible for.

                        Except I was just reading an article by one of the Fort Hood survivors Staff Sgt Shawn Manning who said even the President said the attack was inspired by " larger notions of violent jihad" & Congress & bipartisan Senate labeled it act of terrorism & the only entities not calling it an act of terrorism is army & pentagon. This was from Sunday NY Post. Sgt Manning wrote it in Washington Post. And I meanhow can u not lAbel Sgt Russell an act of combat, this is why I'm asking if it's about the money? Thanks for filling me in on the background w Russell murders

                          Just ask your self a simple question. Who is the Commander in Chief? After all, he has the final word in the matter. He could issue an executive order to the DOD and be done with it. However, issuing an executive order to classify it as an act of terrorism during his campaign for a second term would have been an embarrassment. Changing his mind now would appear disingenuous and dishonest. .

                            I'm not disagreeing with you but why say anything about jihad at all ? And as for being Commander in Chief unfortunately our Pentagon isn't always honest & do what Presidents want look at President Reagan & IranContra & Kennedy & the Bay of Pigs .

                              The president is the top dog when it comes to military affairs. If he wanted to change the classification he could. The military you see, only follows orders. If the claim is that he was unaware of the issue, he could still change it. However, this claim, like the ones you presented, just do not ring true. Each of those presidents knew exactly what was going on and while Reagan took responsibility for Iran-Contra, JFK was the only one to admit the bay of pigs was a mistake in judgement. This president does neither.

                                Agree, although it did take Reagan awhile to finally admit & not really take full responsibility. I know there is a lawsuit now from survivors maybe that is why it cannot be reclassified until after the legal proceedings? What confuses me is why mention jihad at all & why not classify it as other non combat incidents. Does it allow survivors to sue calling it workplace?

                                  Because it is so painfully obvious and self evident. It is, Undeniable. The victims can always seek Civil claims regardless of the classification.

And as military personnel
                                    Wasn't sure they could sue in civilian court. Thanks for the discussion

            Good God..what is left of America. Execute the terrorist mole infiltrator and compensate the victims. We are at war with radical Islam, plan and simple. They have been blowing us up for decades now and we still tap dance around the issue. We haven't won a war since WW2 and that is because we had no compunction about firebombing children in Germany or nuking them in Japan. War is Hell. Actual Hell. We never want it but when someone brings it to us we must act decisively to do one thing....WIN! If we have lost that our nation deserves to fall into oblivion and the trash can of history.

              In fact, for every one of you they've blown up, you've killed approximately 100 of them. And you started it.
              p.s. I'm a Polish person. I should be gloating right alongside you about the firebombing of Dresden, because those were Germans being roasted alive, and Germans killed one in five of us. Why is it that I can recognize it for the war crime it is, yet you think it's a good idea? Something your nation should go back to? You think indiscriminate killing is something to aspire toward? I thought you Americans prided yourselves on being better than the terrorists - not exactly like them.

                I am German by ancestry myself and perhaps that is why I understand that war is hell, to be avoided at all costs, but when it comes you win at all costs. Read what I said, I never said I like fire-bombing civilians anymore than watching civilians suffer on 9-11. Our enemy obviously has no compunction about killing innocents, in fact they are the target most often. Yes, as we target them, most of the cowards use innocents as human shields or hide in places of worship so collateral damage occurs.
                As for starting the war....it appears to me they started it first with numerous terrorist attacks on western interests. The our geo-political machinations aimed at extermination of Israel and control of vast swaths of territory. The same goal empires have sought for millennia. It is either their victory, ours or maybe a long bloody stalemate. Either way many people die. Welcome to war.

                  Your nation killed a million innocents in Iraq alone, through starvation. It killed another couple hundred thousand through explosions and bullets. When precisely did Iraq threaten America, at any point in the last century? Your nation has no compunction about killing innocents either. If you roll together the total dead wrought by America since the Holocaust, you get a second holocaust.

                    Actually, most of the turmoil in the ME started with the Europeans who colonized it and established Palestine and Iraq. Iraq was thought to hold weapons of mass destruction, it did not. I did not and do not agree with America's wars in Iraq or Afghanistan for that matter. They are unwinable and useless drains of power needed to defend American interests in North America. Plus, as undeclared conflicts it shows our Congress to be chickens and cowards yet again....I agree.
                    And as for killing in the ME among Muslims try Shia versus Wannabe...they kill each other quite well with American help.

                      A people rarely mind the killing they inflict on themselves, chalking it up to a failing of their culture. They usually mind greatly, the killing inflicted on them by others, especially foreign invaders. Here, I'll cite an example.
                      The greatest terrorist attack to occur on US soil, 9/11, claimed 2,996 lives. In response, America launched two wars that killed in the neighborhood of 150,000 people.
                      America's annual murder rate hovers between 10,000 and 15,000 murders annually. This means you've inflicted 9/11 on yourselves 48 times since the original 9/11, going by death toll. In response America has... expanded its prison capacity. Where's the War on Murderers?

                        As I said...read up. I disagreed with the wars you cited. I believe justice would have been better sought through non-traditional means. Tanks and armies chasing cowardly terrorists is like taking a B-52 bomber to root out a pesky squirrel in your attic. Each murderer could have been hunted and exterminated like vermin.
                        We are a nation of 310 million that loves guns, so we have murders. And we do have a War on Murders Tom, it is called the Death Penalty in the states with the guts to use it. Actually. according to the UN the US murder rate is 4.8, far less than Brazil's 21, Russia's 10 and even Greenland's 19. The folks in Syria love to kill each other farm more than Americans with Syria at a 500 murder rate and Iraq at 57, Afghanistan 66.
                        I suggest people in the Middle East kill each other quite well without the USA. OI'd jump off your soap box and realize the world is a mean place and nations exists supposedly to protect their people. Everything else is complete BS.

                  How does that apply to the prisoners at Gitmo? Any "due process" there. This was a terrorist act witnessed by not only the victims this maniac shot and maimed but many others. "Due process" should take about as much time as it did during many a battle in the civil war.
                  But, if you insist ion a charade of a show trial...at least warm up the firing squad for later. And for God''s sake take care of the victims. We are a groveling nation of cowards increasing hiding behind all types of useless legal jargon. The future will eat us alive.

What "due process" did we give the children in Germany or Japan we bombed to oblivion? This is a war, this maniac a self-avowed enemy warrior. I have no issue with the show Court Marshall so long as we do not give him a stage to pontificate his BS and torture the survivors and victims. I just wonder if we have the "due process" to execute this murderer?

                            Do you think that just because we didn't give children in Germany and Japan, Iraq and Afghanistan, due process, we should also neglect to do so when there is absolutely no impediment to do so?

But in the meantime, I prefer our soldiers to kill terrorist where THEY LIVE, than have terrorists kill OUR CIVILIANS HERE (Ft. Hood, Boston, etc.). A president can stand up and say "this war is over," but if the other side doesn't agree, then the war ISN'T over. We could have saved a lot of lives in 1945 if we just declared WWII over BEFORE Iwo Jima & Okinawa.

It's up to us to not just listen to what they say, but to really check out their backgrounds before we give them the most important job in the world. Did you read his two autobiographies? Not many Germans read "Mein Kampf" before allowed Hitler to become Chancellor. Did you know that a non-partisan group that ranks every DC Congressman on the "partisan scale" (from most liberal to most conservative) rated him the most partisan liberal in Congress? Were you aware and did you give any weight to his close friends Bill Ayers & Jerimiah Wright? It was all there to see. Many people knew. Just not the 50% it takes to keep someone out of office.
