WHy cant we just assasinate the terroist leaders now?

[JImmyK]

what is this "Sanctions" BS why cant we just assassinate the leaders? so wha if we have to blow up a building or 2, if we kill 50 to save millions I think its worth it.

The rules of war have been long since broken, these people need to be put down. They are making life in this world not only difficult for themselves but all human beings. My roomate is a Muslim here at college, and the poor SOB was scared to goto class because another kid got beat last night. This is ridiculous, starving the coutnry economically does nothing thats obvious (Iraq), I cant belive we arent comminting assassinations because of "moralioty" wtf is going on?

Retaliation. Duh. Our past leaders have been too weak and scared of retal.

 

[konichiwa]

Perhaps we should actually figure out who did it before we go assassinating people?

 

[Migroo]

Well you cant just go killing people without being sure who did it.

There is no proof yet unfortunately, even though most people speculate that bin Laden is responsible (or at least involved)

 

[rival]

Other people will take the lead and want more disasterous effects than what happened on tuesday morning...the free world needs to prove that terrorism will not be tolerated and act quickly and extremely powerfully against it...

 

[JImmyK]

proof? but there is the past 10 years of proof of Saddams and Bin Ladens cruelties and terrorism. Are those not enough? Retalliation? can it get much worse then this right now?

u r right though I have no answer to the "other people will take lead", this is a terrible situation with almost no plausible/good solution

Yes but proof should just concern the actual event. In the Oklahoma (hope its spelt right) bombing everyone hypothesised terrorist involvement, but we all know how wrong that was.

How about the first bombing of the WTC? Or the bombings of the 2 embassies.. or the bombing of the US Naval ship... or the bombing of the US barracks in Saudi Arabia? How much more 'proof' do you need than the actual events and them claiming responsibilities of those events?

It is against he law for the U.S. to sanction or support or participate in the assisnation of a foreign leader.

Senator Bob Barr of Georgia(I think?) is trying to drum up support to have that law rescended or modified. That may happen as a result of this event,however,I caution,what is good for the goose,is good for the gander. What goes around can come around. We may not want that,and it may not be viewed as a plausable solution to settle differences in a civilized society. (that could be the arguement,to which I say,these aren't people who respect the rule of law in a civilized society.)

Lets hope if Barr is unsuccessful ,we will have sympathetic operatives with our allies. Bin Laden has a 5 mil bounty on his head now. He still walks the earth pledging to wage war on Isreal and the U.S. For 5 Mil, you should go get him.

Migroo I understand your point very well, but at this point its effecting to many people in such a negative way. My roomate is scared to go out, I am so upset about this. He's an american born and raised here with me, WTF is going on?!?!? THis cant be happening.... I just cant put into words how much it upsets me to see this happen to our country. This was not supposed to happen....

Oklahoma is a good example BUT thats just not good enough anymroe to many people are suffering. There are 8 million muslims in america, who love this country and have been born and raised here, but today I belive every one of them is in fear for their brothers, their sisters, their fathers, their mothers, and themselves.

 

[Migroo]

Ok.
Proof that terrorists conducted previous bombings is not proof that they conducted this tragedy.

 

[JImmyK]

but if punishedment for previous crimes has not been administered shouldnt they still have to pay for them?

 

[db]

In the above post konichiwa had it right.

We do need to first find out who did this. We also need to find out everybody elso who was involved so they can be dealth with too.
Then, since we are at war and are entitled to defend ourselves, we bomb the hell out of them.

does it matter if its against the law? im sure the CIA could arrange it so no one ever finds out who really did it.

Where in my post did i say they were? All i said is that there has been enough previous actions to warrant them to be killed .

Previous assassinations they just got the SAS to do it for them.

WWIII, that's why. There's been a 5 Million Dollar reward for his head for years. Why don't u take the FBI Up on their offer. U wanna get near Ben Laden?? You'd probally be killed before u knew what happened, or u could be $5 million richer. If we assasinate now, and figure out later, we're inviting a World War, which probally wouldn't win, or be severly be crippled. We can't just go bomb a country with no consent of neighboring nations. If we do, then we're inviting a war. Maybe we'd win, but at what cost?? Probally a lot of Devistation worldwide, possibly Nuclear Devistation. I think theirs too much at stake to just go pulling triggers.
Flame Away!

Have absolutely no doubt that some form of retaliation is being prepared. Even with the most sophisticated intelligience agencies on earth helping it will take some time to organise things.

I'd rather see a precise and devastating strike on the organisation/s found to have have done this than see a hasty and poorly organised strike

 

[thaRealest]

because of President Ford, it is illegal to assasinate any leader.

 

[LoveDoc]

mattyrug, please explain to me how exactly assasinating bin laden would cause world war III.. Please i wanna know this, esp. since the last time i checked we had the full backing of NATO, and many other nations.
