Thanks for the welcome. I'd been lurking in the Sh3 forum for at least a couple months before finally registering and posting. It was only more recently that I ventured into the "General Topics" and discovered something very rare on the 'net these days: an international forum where political, military, and religious discussions are not only welcome, and of differing points of view, but even civil.

I'll probably sift through some of his archived links to get a better feel for the forum and the writings, because I have to admit that despite having read many threads in SH3 before ever posting, with registration out of the way I just dove straight into this one.

It was not much more than a year ago I think when -rather to my surprise at that point- you came out of your closet on the Islam issue. Things went quick from then on...

:arrgh!:

:( But my opinion on Bush and Neocons has not changed much... You just never asked me about Islam earlier :)

Those were the days that Islam (and anti-Nazism) were the only subjcts Skybird & I agreed upon, but nevertheless got into fights because even with those subjects he couldn't hide his anti-Americanism...
:D
Nowadays my opinion about Bush (not America) is shifting, due to reading Tom Friedman's "Longitudes and Attitudes".
