[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] [QUOTE]1. Taliban IS responsible for the "act of war"(not act of terrorism), therefore, U.S. should respond as such.[/QUOTE] No, Bin Laden is responsible for this terrorist action. The Taliban has supported Bin Laden, which is why they are being targeted. [QUOTE]Since it is a central point for terrorist activities, it wouldn't hurt to take it out once and for all.[/QUOTE] Take out the Taliban? Shit, dude, lots of people in the U.S. and around the world -- and yes, in Afghanistan -- have wanted the Taliban ousted ever since they took power. [QUOTE]Showing that U.S. is not a "paper tiger", showing that we don't do thing "half-assed", showing that we're not all talk, and show that we can "play dirty" as well as or maybe even better then they do if it is necessary, and I think in this case it is.[/QUOTE] That's why we're targeting the Taliban ... and NOT civilians. Duh. The problem is, a lot of people in the Middle East don't care a whole lot for Western powers, and when we start attacking Islamic nations, they take it as a personal affront, regardless of the reasons. It's the same way that when, in this nation, a Democrat gets in the news, some certain people have an uncontrollable urge to scream about the "damn liberal press!" ::shrug:: [QUOTE]A warning message to any other countries that support terrorists: "don't follow Taliban, or we will ELIMINATE you!"[/QUOTE] Uh ... hello? You support killing lots of civilians? Well, if that's what you support, that's what you support ... [QUOTE]I say we can show them a clear message of 'not to mess with us" by "full military force".[/QUOTE] Do you watch the news? Do you read the newspaper? The U.S. and Great Britain are bombing the Taliban's military and other resources in Afghanistan. Reports are we've got elements of the 10th Mountain Division and other Spec Ops soldiers on the ground. [QUOTE]If they want to play "chicken", so be it, we didn't start the fight, they did, and I said we should finished the fight with total victory.[/QUOTE] Actually, again, Bin Laden did. Total victory does not mean we nuke Afghanistan into tiny little pieces of rubble. [QUOTE]We got the military equivalent of a "truck", they got the military equivalent of a "bike".[/QUOTE] That's a horrible analogy. [QUOTE]Their terrorist attack kills us by hundreds, our air raid kills them by millions, that's see who's gonna last longer.[/QUOTE] Yes! Let's go bomb civilians who had no role whatsoever in the attack! Because that's justice: killing people who didn't do anything. Get your head out of your ass, and start thinking about what you say [i]before[/i] you say it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
