Not quite sure I understand your post, but it sounds like the start of a promising extension of this thread :-j

LOL
no, he was one of those radical muslim dictators that wanted nuclear weapons, similar to Iran i suppose. but the whole thing got neutralized when he said he had enough of isolation and wanted be part of modern world, and said he won't do any more nuclear research. And now, we don't hear anything about Lybia. So I wonder what was done right in Libia, that can't be done in Iran..

Show me where. I use the KJV. I've never read that.

Deuteronomy, 21:18-21. Here's from the KJV:

"If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear."

It may also have been the fact that he may have saw himself as the next target. Given that Reagan once ordered an airstrike to take him out after Lockerbie it wouldn't be hard for him to imagine it happening again.

Yep. That's a "Ben Sorer U'moreh".

The severe punishment of an incorrigible son described in the Torah (Devarim 21:18-21) was never administered, according to a Tannaitic statement (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin, 71a).

Israel should have no fear from people such as these. Israel can never be wiped of the earth, God wouldn't allow it.

This is what we need a lot more of.
Jordanians turn against al-Qa'eda leader over bombings
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...2/ixworld.html

Sympathy for al-Qa'eda's leader in Iraq turned to hatred in his home town yesterday as clan members and ex-neighbours dismissed the justification for the Amman bombings.



Of course, it would be nice if they had opposed al-Qaeda BEFORE they murdered some of their own :roll:

It also would be nice if the Democrats and Republicans were absolutely committed to passing a balanced budget.

It's just gotta get worse before it can get any better.

Whats with peoples obcessionw ith balanced budgets? Its been proven that they dont work. The Great Depression was so Great because of great attempts to balance budgets. Tax cuts and balanced budgets wont lead to stability. And I dont think Democrats ought to be fingered when talking about expenses. Republicans always tout about how Democrats, if they got their way, would drive the country into deficit and empovrish every one but Im always amazed how people ignore the fact that Republicans always do that exact thing. I mean the current bunch of Republicans just went from the biggest surplus in American history, 2 trillion dollars, to the biggest deficit in American history, 3.5 trillion dollars. And as far as I can tell there arent any new social programs or star trek transporters moving people around. I mean how do you burn through 5 and a half trillion dollars without anything to show. Oh wait, sorry I forgot about the new military hardware and the bodies draped with american flags, nevermind.

Really its incredible. If there are 300 million Americans and lets say that 15% of them dont need anymore money well I mean... I cant even think of how much money person that could have been spent . For that much you could, maybe.... I dunno... provide free health insurance to everyone! But I know a great way to save money. Cut about 10% of the military's budget and you could run a few small countries. But war must and war will. Just dont vote for democrats unless you want peace, long life, and prosperity.

Oh my... I think we were talking about budgets?
