[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tora Ziyal: [QB] Okay. First of all, responding to something I read in the Officer's Lounge thread, religious fanaticism and killing people because of it is not unheard of in the US, and specifically in Christianity. 2. Why does terrorism happen? Because some people hate us. Why do they hate us? Bombings, commercial exploitation, and probably some stuff I haven't heard of or don't remember. 3. What does a bombing produce? Are they gonna say, "oops, sorry, we won't hate you anymore"? Of course not, just the opposite. When did revenge stop anything? It'll only come back to us sooner or later. 4. It's the leaders of Afghanistan who's harboring this Ben-whatever guy. From what I've heard, these leaders do not have popular support, so the general public probably wants him OUT of their country. Now are we going to bomb civilians who are against our possible enemy? 5. What if there's no country behind this operation? Who are we bombing then? 6. Right now, lots of countries are on our side, countries that fight against terrorism themselves. We can either take this unity and work to minimize reasons for terrorism, or we can start bombing people and lose respect and support from other countries. Give the people who want retribution a figurehead, maybe this Ben-whatever guy, then throw him in a silly trial and do whatever follows. 7. Don't give me the if-we-don't-kill-em-all-every-other-group-is-gonna-give-their-shot argument. It's been used since WWII, and it got us the Cold War, Korean War, and Vietnam War. After all, we couldn't let them commies get away with it. 8. For all you people who claim to possess logic, USE IT. Thank you and good night. [/QB][/QUOTE]
