Yes -- Bombs do wipe out terrorists AND they breed more. The only solution I see is to make more bombs. I am willing to allocate more of my tax dollars (and I pay a LOT in taxes) to manufacture and deliver more bombs. And I am willing to do it until I die. I'm sure that most of YOU do not even pay taxes (at least not yet) right?
Really . . . the alternative is to become a doormat for cave-dwelling, illiterate idiots. And . . . NO, contrary to your beliefs, the USA is NOT responsible for the sad state of affairs in the toilet of a country known as Afghanastan. Most, if not all of the responsibility for the sad state of affairs there lies with the residents of that country. They don't even get along with each OTHER! The world (led by the "evil" USA) has NOT ganged-up on Afghanastan . . . that is until they killed over 4,000 innocent civilians in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. I'm supposed to feel sorry for a stray civilian who is killed in Afghanastan as a result of our thumping them . . . spare me.
Food for thought huh? |

Sure Alan,
All those billions of dollars the Reagan/Bush street gang poured into Afghanistan in the 1980s had NOTHING to do with the situation as it stands. Nor did the CIA setting up Osama bin-Laden as one of the main conduits for the "privatized" CIA actions there have ANYTHING to do with his likley involvement in Sept. 11.
Sure. The CIA poured all those resources into Afghanistan JUST BECAUSE they knew it would have absolutely NO effect.
Are you really that young or were you under a rock back then? |

Even the U.S. military doesn't think that bombs are going to solve this problem. They're putting people on the ground because they understand that these terrorists are not a state military organization with fixed installations that you can just bomb. They're decentralized and have very good intelligence -- better than ours, which they proved with their surprise attack on the 11th.
But in a larger sense, ground forces aren't going to solve the problem either. Because the problem isn't just that terrorists bombed us and need to be brought to justice, but it's also that things are very tense in the middle east, and if we don't tread very gingerly over there we may be walking into WWIII, which I think really wouldn't be worth it.
This isn't some fucking action movie. The worldwide economy is in a slump, Arab-Israeli relations are in a very dangerous place, and we're making alliances with nuclear states in the middle east. Every day we inch towards wider conflict in the middle east, and I think that would be an awful, avoidable mistake. |
