Karnaj-
You're living a dream, son. Marx's dream of a truly communist society is utterly flawed. Marx basically asserts in the Manifesto (interesting read, btw) that a person or persons would stay in power after throwing down the "corrupt" bourgeousie. Hmm, now what could be the problem with this?? Perhaps that power hungry bastards like Mao, Stalin, etc. DON'T want to give up power. In theory, Communism looks fine, until you throw in that BIG detail that so many people omit. Communist states are so corrupt that they make any injustice our government has done look like nothing. Don't even think of trying to bring the "succes" of the Chinese into this, either. They are one of the poorest countries around, and the only reason they survive is because they actually have, you guessed it, implemented some capitalist programs.
As for muslims, no, they aren't hethens. They are heretics. A bit of a difference there dude, just a bit. Their religion actually is pretty similar to christianity, except they treat Christ as a prophet and not the son of God. Oh yeah, I highly doubt most people on this board think Allah is really a bad guy because Allah IS God. It's just "Allah" is the word they use for it.
Finally, I feel the need to address how you believe we "support" the deaths of our fellow countrymen. Wow, you really hit the nail on the head there, son. Just about every American decided to throw a big celebration march in Times Square on 9/11 and after the announcement of each casualty in war. Oh, we just love death, the destruction of families, and bullying those poor countries with nuclear and bio weapons. Grow up, kid. Nobody likes war or death. It's just a necessary evil of life. Where there is life, there will always be death. If you can't understand that, then you're in for a lot of disappointment in life.
