Please!! I disagree that MOST of our armed forces had no real other choice than to join the military. cheeky you are just as bad as the ones who bash the military. you are perpetuating a common misconception. the "privilege" of school is attainable by anyone, just because you don't come from a rich family doesn't mean you can't go to school, I took loans out for my education, it wasn't handed to me by anyone. the men and women in our armed forces ALL made the decision to join, nobody forced them to, bottom line is, that is the path that they have chosen. so cheeky, if you are going to defend our armed forces don't make them all out to be underprivileged youth with no other options, I'm sure many of them would take offense to that. Life is what you make of it. |

At least you can get decent curry in Itaewon, now. |

In case you haven't been to Itaewon recently, there are TONS of arabs hanging around in packs... and they seem to be hanging out down the street from the Hamilton Hotel (opposite side of "the hill") towards the Youngsan base. They aren't going to the mosque, they are just loitering around and wearing their robes.
Some people in the area are expecting something will happen soon. Perhaps the military does, too.
It's creepy. |
If they are hanging out in the open in larger groups, the worse that they are plotting is another bad Indian food restaurant and they are collectively discussing, 'And then we can serve this...and we can do that...and we can buy one of those blah-blah for the kitchen, and then....'
A large concentration of people of Middle Eastern descent, gathering in public (in a very popular social area renowned for it's entertainment and nightlife, no less) to meet and discuss, might actually be a friendly social gathering with their fellow countrymen, too. Don't we do the same? *pauses* Naaahhh....OF COURSE they are plotting something bad and disasterous. Doyyyyyy! Look at the color of their skin, right?  Turn off the TV. You've got too much Bush in the brain.

| The thing is, there was a bunch of suspicious incidents in the Itaewon area a while ago, involving not just Muslims, but a Korean woman, and some Africans ( I think?) Anyway, I posted about it in the Current events forum when I heard. |

| Ok, well some Nigerians are known to do some pimping in Itaewon, so I 'spose that's not too way out there. |

Rather than it being a matter of the soldiers not knowing when to come home, it could be there is a threat to them. Now that the Koreans have finally arrived in Iraq, there are Iraqis as well as Koreans upset.
But then if your first reaction is to interpret anything to do with the US in the worst possible light, that wouldn't occur to you, would it? |

Some good points here.
As a high school senior, I'll never forget when I was "given" the chance to go to college.
Kinda like how I remember all of those Arabs hanging around the WTC.
They weren't going to a mosque.
No no. Much worse. They were WEARING their robes.
The nerve... |

Hmmm...
Does anyone recall what Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh were said to be wearing when they were staking out the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City?
Wonder if they dressed in a similar fashion to any certain groups of people loitering around Itaewon. Keep your eyes peeled. |
