Is it just the USA that is wary of the caveman-like mentality in that region? No, Many other countries are very concerned, given the small nuclear presence and the large amount of oil reserves there, not to mention any germ warfare reserve Saddam has stockpiled. GOd knows what else he has in reserve.
Well I guess that settles it, hey, we've got nukes, time to blow em all off the map, right? Kill all the women and children, sure what the hell? A lot of em don't like us anyway...
I'm misinformed? You act like everyone over there just LOVES the US and these mean terrorists killed hundreds of US civilians UNPROVOKED and everyone there is condemning them for there actions. I mean are you that naive? EVERYONE in the Middle East I'm sure was having a good 'ol time watching the towers fall. I'll say again, EVERYONE hates us there and supported the terrorist attack. If you want to go on about that ONE guy caught on camera condemning the attack, go right a head and look for that ONE person. As for me, I'll take the "you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet" attitude.
Are you listening to what you're saying? "killing hundreds of US civilians unprovoked..." "gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette", etc. When was the last time you were provoked by the civilians of these Middle-Eastern countries? Yeah, their gov'ts are kinda fvked up, yeah there's definitely a lot of problems and we're not happy with each other, to say the least. I'm not saying we shouldn't be fighting a war. I'm asking you why you think it's such a great idea to slay and murder all the innocent children and women, and men who have nothing to do with anything that's going on between our two nations. The people who are bombing us are pissed because of sh!t are gov't did to theirs. Right or wrong about that in particular, they took their anger at out GOV'T on thousands of our civilians. When that happens, it's a horrible tragedy, but hey, if we kill all their innocent and defenseless because we're mad about what the Taliban did? C'mon...
I'd like to add, it is not ONE man that is guilty for the attack, the Middle East countries are ALL guilty. Osama didn't plan the attack without the help of top officials helping him move around and supply him with the funds he needed.
When did I say ONE man was responsible? Haha you just kinda pulled that out of nowhere, man. Anyway, I'm aware that Osama isn't soley responsible, in fact, we don't even know if he planned 9/11 at all. We know he was tickled to death by it, but he still denies he planned it himself. Here's basically my arguement in a nutshell: Was 9/11 horrible and unprovoked? Yes. Should we be fighting the bastards who planned and carried out and supported this attack? Yes. Should we kill a 9 year old girl who's just trying to go to school, or a man who just tries to go to work everyday and put on the table for his family? Hell no. It'd be really cool if everyone was ready to kill the bastards who are attacking us, not the civilians who have nothing to do with us. Unfortunately, you all seem ready to kill the school children and women. What can I say? I guess I just have more heart than that. If that makes me a "bleeding heart liberal", so be it. But, as my mom put it when she was talking to me on 9/11 : "You just don't do that. You just don't kill women, you don't kill children." True? I'd agree with that. Apparently it doesn't count if it's not us, though. Oh, and by the way, if you're gonna sit here and have a political arguement about the Taliban, please learn to spell it. Pick up any newspaper from the past year or so, it's in every one of em in big bold letters.
