1) Make us laugh. Or die trying.
2) Don't be surprised if you find yourself verbally pistol-whipped. It's all in the spirit of fun.
3) We want a helicopter...because hostage takers always ask for one in the movies, right? We don't ride no stinkin' buses. If you don't have a helicopter, make rotor noises by thumping on your chest while you linger, at least.
4) Don't be surprised if a cheese monkey mistakes you for a mate while you make rotor noises. Feed the cheese monkey at your own peril.
5) We're out of cheese. Bring cheese.
6) Papi's rule: Refrain from using the word "pussy" during negotiations, or risk the wrath of a scrawny Texan.
7) Take the feuding and flaming elsewhere. We're kinder, gentler hostage takers.
8) We want lots of bubble wrap. Stand-offs can be a bitch.
9) Run your cat through the shredder before entering. There's nothing like the sound of a screeching cat to break the tension.
10) Tell the SWAT team to keep their distance. But you're welcome to join in if you're new here. Don't be shy!
Well, I guess we should ask God to bless any country subject to terrorist attacks as well. Americans, Brits, Japanese, Canadians and even Iranians among others lost their lives in the attacks. It's only human nature to provide assistance after such a tragedy. Hopefully nothing of that magnitude will ever happen again, but when you have adversaries willing to sacrifice their lives for their cause, they're going to try.
I think the UN should support going after Hussein. It should have been done during the Gulf War.

I dunno. As you know, I am not really into politics.
But I do not have a good feeling about this Iraq stuff.
I agree it should have been dealt with during the gulf war, however, didn't Russia say if we didn't knock it off in Iraq they were coming after us? Some country did I think.
Which is why I don't like what is brewing. We really don't need another world war, and other countries are calling Bush a war monger more or less.
I can't believe a year has passed and all these countries are over there looking for Bin Laden and still can't find him. Yes I know there are all these caves and stuff. But still, think about how comical we must look. Thousands of men looking for one man for a year and coming up empty.
Again, I dunno much about politics or wars or terrorists. But something just doesn't seem right in all this.

Can anyone just get in there and murder him? A WOMAN! A spy to entrance him and then cut his throat....something like that???? Sounds like a movie, but why do thousands have to die when a lunatic is controlling them?

It would be hypocritical of Russia to talk tough after the way they're dealing with Chechnyan (sp?) rebels. They're going to come after the U.S. over Iraq? With what? Nuclear weapons? And wipe out both countries? I think not. Same with China. If Hussein won't let weapons inspectors in, his defiance will bring UN support. The situation would be over if he let them in. Don't ask me why he couldn't just manufacture weapons somewhere they don't know about though.
I think bin Laden's dead. But it's not easy looking for someone who has so many loyal supporters in a country as mountainous and filled with caves as Afghanistan. It's foreign terrain to us, but they're very familiar with it. I think if he was alive, we'd have received a tape by now with him thumbing his nose at us.
I heard Hussein's former mistress (who's now in hiding) being interviewed. She said he's very guarded and always aware of his surroundings, so it would be hard for an assassin to get close to him. She said his favourite song is Strangers in the Night and favourite movie is the Godfather. If America is the Great Satan, how can he embrace part of its culture? It smacks of hypocrisy.
