| Fox News channel is watched by 70% conservatives.. therefore, they feed them with what they want to hear.. Oddly enough, 50%+ of the people that watch FOX, believe that Saddam had to do with the 9/11 attacks.. what that tells you, they believe "non-facts" . interesting. |

As a result, sources tell NEWSWEEK, Ridge's department last week asked the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel to analyze what legal steps would be needed to permit the postponement of the election were an attack to take place. |

Lets analyze the real picture here. Not only conservatives thought of this.....Democrats did as well. So please dont try to feed your bull in this forum.
Lets look at some real numbers taken from september of last year.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Nearly seven in 10 Americans believe it is likely that ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, says a poll out almost two years after the terrorists' strike against this country.
Sixty-nine percent in a Washington Post poll published Saturday said they believe it is likely the Iraqi leader was personally involved in the attacks carried out by al-Qaida. A majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents believe it's likely Saddam was involved.
The belief in the connection persists even though there has been no proof of a link between the two.
President Bush and members of his administration suggested a link between the two in the months before the war in Iraq. Claims of possible links have never been proven, however.
Veteran pollsters say the persistent belief of a link between the attacks and Saddam could help explain why public support for the decision to go to war in Iraq has been so resilient despite problems establishing a peaceful country.
The president frequently has called the Iraq war an important centerpiece in the United States' war on terror. But some members of the administration have said recently they don't believe there is a direct link.
The Post poll of 1,003 adults was taken Aug. 7-11 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
A Time magazine/CNN poll released Saturday said most Americans - 71 percent - believe the United States has done a good job in Iraq since the end of major fighting, while 26 percent said it has done a poor job.
Sixty-three percent said the nation was right in going to war in Iraq and 32 percent said it was wrong. But the Time/CNN poll found Americans more closely split on whether the military action was worth the price in America lives, taxpayer dollars and other costs - 49 percent said yes, 43 percent no and 8 percent were unsure.
The poll also found Bush's approval down to 52 percent, from 63 percent in May.
The Time/CNN survey of 1,003 adults was taken Sept. 3-4 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. |
So regardless which party believes what...dont sit here and say only the 50% half of america(conservative? according to u?) thought of the link between saddamn and 9/11;which is what you are trying to imply...When the real statistics points to about 7 out of 10 avg americans
Today that number is different of course. |

| it's a comon knowledge in the arab world that Saddam and Osama dislike eachother. Even a 10 year old can answer to this. Everybody knows they would never work together. But according to the American polls, most of Americans can't relate to that? |

[sarcasm]
But they're both terrorists, remember all the trucks Saddam had?! He must have been working with Osama. What else would all those trucks be for?

Its my personal belief that if terrorists even try something as much as blow up a park bench come election day that will only secure Bush's victory. Who won't put up with that crap? BUSH!!!!!
but honestly, i don't see how democrats get the impression that the simple act of electing Kerry is going to change the situation in Iraq. If Kerry is elected, we won't magically disappear from Iraq and the middle east. We won't give saddam his country back. We won't let the Taliban control Afganistan again! Electing Kerry is not the magical reset button many Liberal's and Europeans want it to be! We're in this "war on terror" for the long haul, and i guess its going to continue until at least the next election in 2008. |

I think Al Qaida is attacking Americans more than ever right now because Bush (and republicans) are in power in USA. If he's removed from the office, this would probably consist as a relief to them as a start and they will lesser their attacks?
my 2cents:) |

Jihad:
This term has never been translated by Muslims to mean holy war. Instead, it means to struggle or exert oneself to his or her utmost potential. In Islam, there are two levels of jihad. The greater jihad most often refers to the inner struggle against evil within oneself with the goal of self-improvement for the betterment of one's community and the world as a whole. The lesser jihad refers to the struggle on the battlefield in self-defense if Muslims have been attacked and their right to practice their faith has been aggressively taken away. " Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love the transgressors" (Qur'an 2:190). This is an unequivocal statement that only self-defense makes war permissible for Muslims and the goals of war cannot be worldly gain.

if terrorist organizations are led by RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS, regardless of their affiliation to the religion of islam, which is not a religion of violence, how would the POLITICAL affiliation of americans or their leader affect the frequency or nature of terrorist atttacks made in the name of religion
i'm not calling muslims terrorists, only pointing out that groups that try to use islam as a reason for attack would logically be concerned more with the beliefs of americans rather than political views |
