*shock horror!* A convert to Islam was plotting a terrorist attack!

Ok Dotard, we'll accept that the USA "allows" other countries to have nukes, but why should it have that power in the first place? Even if it is a collective decision (which it's not...just look at Russia), how do you rank these countries in terms of eliteness? Why is your version of eliteness the right way to do it?

It's not just America that allows or disallows some countries to possess nukes. Because Russia, and I'm sure some other countries, are not in the collective (coalilition, club, whatever) doesn't mean there is no collective.

I define elite as the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons exercising the major share of authority or influence within a larger group and this is how I rank them.

Also, I never argued my version was the right one. I may think it is the right one, but right and wrong are subjective arn't they?

Hmmm... following that logic;

United Kingdom, Canada, Saudi, India, Philippines, Australia, Romainia, El Salvador, Estonia, Bulgaria, Moldova, Albania, Ukraine, Denmark, Czech Republic, South Korea, Japan, Tonga, Azerbaijan, Singapore, Bosnia, Macedonia, Latvia, Poland, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Mongolia and Georgia are all a bunch of illegally country invading terrorists.

You really contending every trooper from all the listed countries are terrorists?

My comment was in response to the fatuous comment that 100% of terrorists are Muslims. -The point was the definition is largely one of perception. A good proportion of the Muslims world does indeed see the "coalition of the willing" as terrorists. Soldiers may not avoid personal responsibility with the "I'm only following orders claim. (aka "The Nuremberg Defence") I'm pretty sure I'd see them as terrorists I were an Iraqi and would support the resistance.

It has also been argued that US and its coalition waged a war of aggression on Iraq,which is in breach of The Nuremberg Statutes drafted by the allies after WW2 and used to try Nazi war criminals.

Agree,disagree, I don't give a shit.You asked,I replied.

Agreed. Terrorism is largely one's perception. Your point skewed by me as you were beating around that bush using sarcasm which doesn't translate well in the written word. If you had just said "Terrorism is in the eyes of the beholder." I would have replied "Agreed" and we would have been done with that.

Agree, Disagree, you don't give a shit? I recommend you see a doctor as everyone should give a shit at least once a day. However you did give a shit enough to reply. So there .
