End Terrorism; Vote Kucinich
Personally, I think terrorism is a way overdone issue.

Nevertheless, there are many people in this world that hate the USA, quite a few more that don't like us very much, and then also quite a few that don't like the political leaders we elect.

If the rest of world could see that the American people had the moral compass to elect a man like Kucinich, the ill will towards the United States would vanish immediately.

Please help to end terrorism, please support Dennis Kucinich.

1. Hard to tell if this is serious or a joke
"If the rest of world could see that the American people had the moral compass to elect a man like Kucinich, the ill will towards the United States would vanish immediately."

Do you REALLY think anyone in the world cares whether the U.S. has a moral compass? Do the French have a moral compass? Brazilians? Russian? Finns? Indonesians? Do you really think anyone gives a shit about the moral compass of the American people, or any other people?

Do you REALLY think those who would murder infidels care about who is president of the U.S.?

4. Even the most radical Jihadists,
do not have a creed of murdering infidels.

You are completely wrong with if you believe that there is any religion out there with a tenet of killing infidels.

So yes the world cares about who we elect as president.

5. There are many religions - mostly called cults - who murder.
You wrote: "You are completely wrong with if you believe that there is any religion out there with a tenet of killing infidels. "

Wahhibism, Aum Shinrikyo, Charles Manson family, etc. are religious cults that practice/promote homicide of 'non-believers.'
******************

Your statement "So yes the world cares about who we elect as president." is an obvious truth. The majority of the world "cares" about who is president of the U,S. because of our military and economic dominance.

Your statement that if we "elect a man like Kucinich, the ill will towards the United States would vanish immediately" is hopelessly naive. It's one thing to support Kucinich for president. It's quite another to have a cult-like devotion to Kucinich that sees him as the savior of the country, and the source of world peace. Violent extremists could care less who the president of the U.S. is.

You're either being silly or deluded, IMO, penguin7.

6. I may be naive to believe,
that Kucinich has a chance to be elected. There are too many angry, hating, vengeful, fearful people in this country.

I am realistic to believe that if we can elect a man that represents peace, the world will feel good about it.

7. Again you are very confused and naive, penguin7
"I am realistic to believe that if we can elect a man that represents peace, the world will feel good about it."

I agree with that statement. But I disagree totally with the only substantive statement you made: if we "elect a man like Kucinich, the ill will towards the United States would vanish immediately."

Hateful people exist all over the world, and try as you might you can't make them stop hating anyone because we change presidents.

I think you're an idiot, penguin7.

8. what would terrorism be without fear?
fear to speak out, fear of being called unpatriotic, fear of being Islamic, fear of offending the Bureaucracy of Homeland Security, and fear of a nuclear bomb going off at any place or any time.

in order for terrorism to succeed, we must feed it. but if we refuse to treat terrorists the same as just another religious cult or an isolated group of outlaws, then they have already won! the death of bin Laden will only strengthen Al Qaeda, giving all who follow him a new idol to die for and worship for decades to come!

I hope the others start catching on to this soon, or unlike the Red Scare, this will become a force that only grows whenever we seek to fight or even condemn it.
