(..)About this?
Hardly.
It's like the ramblings of a high strung teenager.
What I don't care for (and will not permit, btw) is things such as "x sucks", "IT's x's fault this happened" and other such drival.
Interesting discourse of ideas is welcome, but this was just silly. :crazyeyes

Again with this lie.An as the Afghanistan-bombings...
Americans, what are you thinking to accomplish with bombing of innocent civilians.
Yes, he was sitting around the whitehouse, and said, "Hey! Let's get terrorists to kill 5,000 people so I can bomb Afghanistan to gain popularity!"It sure looks like Bush is just trying to get some popularity with this.
You can't think up a reason, period.I cannot make up any other reasonable reason. (nice wordmonster, eh?)
Be tough for them to kill anyone when they are dead.And don't say that ur gonna stop the fundamentalism fanaticsm/dictatorship in Afganistan, because:
Fanaticsm : Because of these bombings, ALL people there will become fanatics, and they're pretty
easy to manipulate for killing innocent people.
Both the US and Britain are discussing alternatives.Dictatorship : Ok, suggest Taliban is crushed. So? The Northern Alliance will become the ruler of Afgans.
Yes, an ethnic minority opressed by the ruling Taliban, who are in turn puppets of elements of the Pakisatni Gov and Bin Laden's El Queda.Anybody who knows even a bit about this Northern Alliance knows what it means.
Of course we are, have't you been following the news?And don't even say that ur not supporting Northern Alliance - Because that sure doesn't seem like it.
Your point came through.Right. This message is probably full of MissTakes in engrish, but hope u get my point.

I have just found a NY Times commentary on the things that go on behind the scenes in Saudi Arabia : -"Why not destroy the taliban, they are an anti-democratic terrorist supporting government? - the British government has a plan for putting in a new government in their place and im sure the US does too."
I think that's what the present war is all about - to destroy the vermin that is the Taliban. And Osama. However to destroy them is probably next to impossible militarily. It's going to have to be a ground war and a war for the hearts and minds of Muslims not just in Afghanistan, but all over the Muslim world.
We shld start with Saudi Arabia and make them stop their religious schools spewing out anti-Western rhetoric. Haven't you noticed most of the terrorists are Saudis? So is Osama. The Saudi religious schools are bringing up whole generations of youngsters with a burning hatred of the West.
And I am sure the British and American govts have plans. The smart thing in this case is not to announce to the whole wide world what plans they have but to work behind the scenes to set those plans into action. Telling the media is also telling the Taliban; and that would be the dumb thing to do - informing the enemy what we're doing so that they can take measures.

I don't think YOU would make such a comment in you lived in NY, Washington DC, any city in Israel, Dar Es Salaam, or any other city that the Bin Laden boys attacked.Originally posted by Mikoyan

Joespaniel, AofA: But people aren't being bombed in New York as we speak, do they?
How many killed by allies?And to and to argument like some people here but in a different manner: 6,500 people died in New York, and that was a big shame, 800,000 people died in Iraq, and there were no aid concerts for the families there.
Why do you keep repeating this lie?And the bombing will only result in many more civilian deaths than taliban or terrorist ones, unless of course you are one of those people who think all moslems are terrorists.
Money well spent, to eliminate these murderers.And the U.S government only waste tax payers money with their 'crusade', smart bombs are expensive you know, so thats an extra number on your tax bills.
Bullying.I don't see any reason whatsoever to support this bullying.

Now the US will do what it always tries to in war, destroy it's enemeis, while rebuilding it's peoples.
We don't always succeed (Vietnam, for example) but places like Germany, Japan, and South Korea are perfect examples of what we want in this world, happy and productive people who live in peace.
I wish you would start to understand, instead of endlessly repeating Taliban propaganda.
