    "BAGHDAD, Iraq - Al-Jazeera broadcast an insurgent video Tuesday showing four peace activists taken hostage in Iraq, with a previously unknown group claiming responsibility for the kidnappings. The Swords of Righteousness Brigade said the four were spies working undercover as Christian peace activists, Al-Jazeera said.

    Maybe we should write letters explaining to the terrorist that "we all need to have happy thoughts" and to "give peace a chance" as well as to wish them a "Merry Christmas".

    Ms Osthoff, an archaeologist, is a fluent Arabic speaker who is married to an Iraqi and has also been involved in aid work http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4480480.stm

    ARD public television said the woman and her driver had been taken hostage Friday in Ninawa in the northwest of the country. It said she was a convert to Islam and fluent in Arabic.

    It just shows that if there were no christians, jews, hindus, buddists, or George Bushes, there would still be bombs going off around the world for even within Islam a religious war has been going on since the time of the founding of the shia branch. It is a religion of zero tolerance and it is the duty of the followers to kill nonbelievers.

    I suggest that we ask Danr to write the letter for us. He said he gets such fine results with his correspondence and has the inside track with this type of action. He got it done before, lets have his do it again. That should be simple.

    He is standing there like a proud 12 year-old with a new Super Soaker. By western standards this guy looks like an absolute fool. Where is a Marine when you need one?

    I once wrote a letter of protest over China invading Tibet. I am sure that the Chinese are sorry now! and you know I bled over that letter for I got a paper cut when I sealed it. Where is my Kerryish purple heart?

    You may be kidding but the truth of the matter is that the Chinese are now claiming that it was that letter with the blood on it, that started all this bird flu they are having. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if you received a bill for all those chickens they have had to kill.
