Geesh, you'd think that they would learn how to use the bookmark feature in Acrobat. About as useful as a scanned image.

Real patriots read all government documents from cover-to-cover--no "bookmarks" necessary.

Most of the Iraqi people are poverty striken and in a society that is very pride based, a man who cant feed his family isnt very much of a man at all (to a greater extent then Americans look at it). There will be extremists and hate groups in the Middle East as long as there is religion. You cant blame the unaffiliated civillians joining these groups with our presence in the region. It would happen anyways, and it happens elsewhere. How many people world wide join the militarys of their country for the sake of college money, pick up a job in coal mines to feed their kids, or some other crappy/dangerous job for the sake making ends meet in a poor economy? It happens everywhere.

I'm not "blaming" the Iraqi citizens, I'm saying that President Bush's decision to invade Iraq was a significant, required event in causing Iraqi citizens to support and become part of Al Queda.
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.
