Mushroom:Huey Lewis said it best:

Huey Lewis!?
I agree the quote does describe love well but Huey Lewis. Mushroom, I am embarrassed for you knowing Huey Lewis well enough to quote his lyrics. ;)

I plan on voting for a 3rd party candidate, hopefully they don't feel the need to kiss up to religious types.

I just read this morning two interesting blog posts by Glenn Greenwald at Salon.com, discussing the poll which this article refers to.

I read Glenn Greanwald's post on Salon.com, thanks for the link. I think part of his argument, and yours, is flawed, here's why. The poll that he sites is a Iranian and American world public opinion poll. It has 80% of Iranians answering Never Justifiable to Attacks on Civilians and 46% of Americans answered the same. The strange part about the poll is the very next question on Attacks on Palestinian and Israeli Civilians. 53% of Iranians answer sometime justified to Attacks by Palestinians on Israeli civilians. What happen to the never justifiable 80%? Here is a link to the actual poll.

I think polls should not be taken to seriously and that people don't always answer them accurately either intentional or by accident. Anyone can take a poll a twist it to say what they want. By the way, 21% of Americans answer sometime justified to Attacks by Israelis on Palestinian civilians.

Yes, you are confused.
War it's self is wrong and should be avoid, I think most rational people would agree with that. Wars are usually fought for less than moral reasons, usually for greed and over ideology. So wouldn't anything done in war also be wrong?
Now if you are talking about an act of real desperation, that's different, but barely.

I'm with jayalenik, fight the good fight, only fools and nitwits blow themselves up.

5. The Fastest-Growing Religion

I think you can equate worshipping something with a supernatural belief. Personally I think any supernatural belief can be physiologically damaging. They might be friendly people but that doesn't make what they believe any less misguided.
