emcee: The entire Middle East didn't attack us.


Sure it is; a part of something represents the whole of something, obviously. Otherwise the landmark Scientology V. The Internet would have never taken place.

I'm assuming you're being sarcastic, but with some of what I seen people post while being completely serious, it's hard to tell.

Yes yes, sarcasm sarcasm, harrumph harrumph. Also, I meant "sure it did" not "sure it is." You know, I had actually typed up around a dozen and a half lengthy paragraphs, but I decided not to post it because I feel that Bookworm does not have genuine intentions behind seeking the opinions of others, he just seems to want to make himself feel good about supporting Bush. He's trying to prove something to himself, it seems, not to the rest of us.

It's pointless to argue the whole Bush thing, anyway, because nobody is going to have their opinion changed, no one is going to be the least bit informed and in the end, it'll all degenerate to a flame war centering on Bush's strict Christian fundamentalist ideals. I'm more content to sit back and let antiquity decide what sort of president he was.

THen, we launch the bomb, kill about 10000 people, and they'll wake up and say "Oh, shit! These bastards really are serious!" and leave us alone.


That would have just been pouring like an entire can of lighter fluid directly over a grill and not moving your hand out of the way. It would have just increased antagonizations, and while it's true that the war in Iraq hasn't help much for that, it's a much better option than just opting to randomly kill civilians just to give a show of strength. Do you really think they would have left us alone if we'd opted for your idea? XD

Perhaps 8 days is a bump, but it's on the first page.

Now, let's say that somehow the electors go insane and I end up President. And September 11 happens- perhaps it was caused by screwups in the Bush Administration that would never have happened in the Imajin Administration, but we'll ignore that- once we have the information on the hijackers, there are two countries that end up on my "hit list"- Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan. Afghanistan probably ends up going like Afghanistan, though I would go quicker and focus on catching Bin Laden. Saudi Arabia is different, but I'd have to force them to cease supporting radical Wahhabism in oher countries. I'd like to get them to reform, but that might take fulscale war, which would, being a war, necessitate occupation of the major Saudi cities- including Mecca and Medina. American troops in the Holy Cities of Islam might cause some problems...
On the home front, I would push for healthcare reform. I rather like the "individual mandate" plan being pushed for in our world by Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA), where everyone is required to buy healthcare, and a cheap plan is provided for those who can't afford to buy healthcare from private companies but make enough money that they don't qualify for free healthcare.

I would just like to thank Kutsuke for piquing my curiosity enough to make me waste 3 hours reading up on scientology.

*nefarious laughter*
My plan is working brilliantly. Soon, due to my constant piquing of other people's curiosity, I will be the only person left who isn't wasting three hours researching someone. With uncontested and unbridled power, I will become as the gods!

Yeah except with my new scientology courses, I'll learn how to become a god, while you'll still be sitting there delusional with nondepleted funds. But it's okay, when I get OTVIII I'll be making money fall out of my ass like diarrhea.

For your interest: The whole "threat by terrorism" has been inflated by the Bush administration to the size of a fucking GIANT DINOSAUR. The sole fact some islamist madmen have killed 3000 people does not make up for attacking two random countries of which one was not even involved in any way (it is a known fact Saddam and the Islamists hated each other), kill 10 times as many or even more civilians, declare human rights for void and start a worldwide panic propaganda campain. The "threat by terrorism" was inflated by the US government for a basic reason: If they had not invented it, they would not have been elected again.
On the topic of all the drama over there concerning the 2000+ US soldiers who died in Iraq: I'd like to remind you that's how war works. Don't act as if losses in war were something new, or the democracy you think to stand for would give you any divine advantage.
On the "Islamic Extremist Axis of Evil" arguments - give it another decade and the US will be the exact same as Iran, just with christian rather than islamic extremists.

So you're saying that, everyday when I read the paper and another car-bombing occurs, and innocent people are killed, that it's just Bush's administration making up a threat of terrorism. The threat is definately there, and if it wasn't, there would still be two towers standing in New York city. Am I not right?

He was saying that the threat from terrorists actions don't necessitate the need for a Crusade. Or at least that's what I got from his comments.
