America has problems, but America is NOT THE PROBLEM!~
You chose
Published on July 17, 2007 By Moderateman In War on Terror

 There seems to be the opinion the Al Qaeda is the single biggest threat to America. I say Bologna! Hezbollah is much more trained, funded and has a much larger and in your face following than Al qaeda has ever had, the only thing Al Qaeda has going for it is the name, and Osama Bin Laden AKA Cave dweller, He dares not to even show his face in public, while the leader of Hezbollah lives the life of comfort in Lebanon, thumbing his nose at the west and Israel.

In your opinion which of the terror groups is the most dangerous, there are so many to chose from:

Terror Groups                                                           

Abu Sayyaf
Al Fuqra
Al Gama'at Islamiyya
Al Muhajiroun
Al Qaeda
Algerian Armed Islamic Group
Algerian Islamic Salvation Front
American Islamic Group
Hamas
Hezbollah
Islamic Jihad
Islamic Liberation Party
ISNA
Jamaat e-Islamia
Jamaat ul-Fuqra
Mara Salvatruchas
Muslim Brotherhood
National Islamic Front
Yemen Islamic Jihad

all the above are known terror orginazations and are listed among known terror groups by American Intelligence.

Then there are the NATIONS that support terrorism, either sheltering them or financing them, giving them intelligence or arming them, Which Nation would you say is the biggest threat to America?

  • Flag of Cuba Cuba - Added in 1982 though no official explanation was provided. A 2003 report contended that Cuba supported terrorist groups during the period it was added to the report. Current justification cites support for members of Basque ETA and the Colombian Farc  and ELN groups. Conversely, Cuba has accused the United States of supporting, sponsoring and initiating Terrorism against Cuba since 1961. Those who oppose Cuba's retention on the list contend that Cuba has made repeated offers to the United States since 2001 for a bilateral agreement to fight international terrorism, but the United States has not responded Critics also argue that domestic political considerations are responsible and question many of the allegations made in the State department report
  • Flag of Iran Iran- Added in1984 According to the State Department, "continued to provide Lebanese Hezbollah and the Palestinian rejectionist groups—notably Hamas Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the PFLP-GC —with varying amounts of funding, safe haven, training, and weapons. It also encouraged HEZBOLLAH and the rejectionist Palestinian groups to coordinate their planning and to escalate their activities."
  • Flag of North Korea NORTH KOREA- Added in 1988  Sold weapons to terrorist groups and to have given asylum to Japanese Communist League-Red Army Faction members. The country is also responsible for the Rangoon Bombing and the bombing of Kal Flight 858 
  • Flag of Sudan SUDAN - Added in 1993 "A number of international terrorist groups including Al-Qaeda , the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Egyptian Al-Gama's al-, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Hamas  continued to use Sudan as a safe haven, primarily for conducting logistics and other support activities."
  • Flag of SyriaSyria - "provided Hezbollah, Hamas, PFLP-GC, the PIJ, and other militia organizations refuge and basing privileges."

whip? a bit strong? hahahahahah she is a marshmallow AD, she only comes on strong when you become obstinate.


ha! I've never seen the marshmallow side MM....learn something new everyday.

usually it's not being obstinate from my POV so much as it's not listening to her "advice."

MM regarding the spelling you mentioned in #139.

There are two words you can mistakenly use in place of the other but are both correct in spelling...advice and advise. You used "advise" when you should have used "advice" in above posting.

To give "advice" is one thing but to "advise" someone is another word used just by switching the c for s. Spellcheck won't pick this up because both are legit words. One means opinion (n) and the other means to give your opinion (advice) to.

very cool man to quote. from the art of war? or another writing?


I don't know. In the game "Alpha Centauri", there is a quote attributed to him.

If I determine the enemy's disposition of forces while I have no perceptible form, I can concentrate my forces while the enemy is fragmented. The pinnacle of military deployment approaches the formless: if it is formless, then even the deepest spy cannot discern it nor the wise make plans against it."

Well, I *have* read Sun Tzu's art of war. But I do not remember the part the above-quote is from.

Well... I haven't read Sun Tzu's art of war totally, to be honest. I dropped out when it came to kind of environnment (mountain, marshes..) after the general philosophy of aggressions/defense, and the proper relation between a Prince and the General.

How your army have to be trained, how it must think. All of these tips are really helpful to understand the basic philosophy of warfare. But we must never forget, it's still goddamned bloody and ugly.

i haven't seen any advise on how to make it better all anyone on here has done is attack. usually when they cant fight my point


Please don't tell me you are turning into the same guy you criticize a lot around here (Col gene). I can point to several replies with nice advice and even though MM did not point to me as one of those people I will point you to one where not only was I nice and giving advice but I even used myself as an example of being really bad and spelling and grammar. Even LW told me you would ignore it and she was right.

i am not perfect

Your own article.

And so comes the moment of Truth Danielost. You are either playing the "woe is me" card or you take the advice given to you and pull yourself up by the bootstraps and make self improvements.

This my friend is only choice YOU can make.

AD my friend when I first came here and started blogging I was lambasted about my poor spelling and grammar to the point I left, deleted all 80 of my articles. Then I thought, who was I hurting by leaving? only me. So I came back started blogging again, and this time payed attention to the advise given to me, till my spelling improved and I could write a semi-coherent sentence. I still make punctuation errors, but hey being alive is to learn.

and so do I. It's not a matter of 'picking' on someone, just a matter of getting something s straightened out so everyone can benefit. I said it was a moment of Truth for Danielost because it is. Either he can tuck his tail and run to the corner thinking everyone hates him because he isn't perfect or step up to the challenge and gain respect among the JU peers.

With regards to your testimony aren't you glad you swallowed your pride for bit and accepted the criticism and learned from it?

yes I am, not only because of finding a place to express my thoughts, but I have made some human connection with a few outside of Joeuser., This you already know, as you are one of them.
