Hi, been reading over some stuff here, quite a few great posts...a few that we could have done without...but has anyone stopped to ask why? why invade anything? why blow up anything?(if this insults anyone or you already came to these conclusions thanks, no flames or patriotic rhetoric please)
you want to deal with terrorism? take a lesson from Israel. the same crap the western world has been getting on them for...defending themselves against terrorism...is what the U.S is now considering. cept theres one prob, and you should take note. you can't, simply CANNOT fight a conventional war against this.not unless your willing to involve not only the guilty parties(which may include entire families, women, children etc...) but a fair amount of innocents. You can't even take bin laden, why would you? so you can put him on trial and make a martyr out of him? think america has had trouble so far?? its just beginning if they try that. forgive me for saying so but theres only one way I can think of, and although you don't read about it much(makes bad headlines) Israel has had great success in the past. you headhunt. brutally, quickly, and MOST of all quietly. terrorist+press regardless of the result = win for them. you go in, you take him, AND his main backers, AND as many of his most able men.its a huge job, and would need to be done carefully. if at present you killed just him, he has a slew of highly trained terrorists who may not have his restraint(yes i said restraint, he could have done waaay more by now...) and suddenly have access to all his saudi millions + a reason for revenge...well you get the idea. and lets not forget pakistan and India waiting on the wings for the slightest excuse to act. India would like a reason to grab parts of pakistan, and theyd both like a piece of the afghanis...bah. you cant fight this one with western morals or mentality ...its a different world, a different type of people and a different way of life. don't expect to understand it, i sure as hell dont most of the time, nor do I want to. I was born in Israel and out of the 4 countries I've lived I'm glad to live in Canada...but thats my 2 cents. some responses regarding possible solutions or perhaps some other reasons why it should be handled differently would be appreciated. thanks.
