Dark Tigress, you ask what Afganistan did to warrent our attacks, well, for
starters, it was the Taliban we were after, not Afganistan, you should not
we helped them set up a better government afterwards. Second the whole
reason we went over there was because we said we wanted Bin Laden, and we
were willing to go into a country to get him. We wanted a suspect in a
recent terrorist attack, and someone we knew to be responsible for several
other terrorist bombings, and we went in to get him. The Taliban basicly
told us to screw off, and that they would defend him.
<BR>What we did was no different from a SWAT team kicking the door
in to rescue a group of hostages(the afganistan people) and bring a
criminal to justice. ____________________

Oh dear, way to lighten things up...always gotta love dilbert <IMG
SRC="images/smilies/icon_smile.gif">
<BR>Sardo, it isnīt
xians trying to take over the world....donīt you see? They think thoughts
like that...just like you "damned xians"....like they are all one in
whole...that theyīre out to get you. That by virtue of faith someone is
inferior/superior smart/stupidright/wrong or that a group is responsible
for the actions of a few. Whereīs the open mindedness? Being open minded
doesnīt give liscence for hating a group because of a few jackasses youīve
encountered because THEY arenīt openminded...hmm...does this reek
"stereotyping"? I thought we didnīt like that when people did it to us?
Xian devils/western devils, all the same, right?
<BR>Hell, this
coming from a laveyist..whatīs this world coming to?...
<BR>Religious wars are by far the most retarded sort of war in the
WORLD. Itīs all conjecture, heresay, and "my god can kick your godīs
ass"...even though xianity, islam, and judism (spelled?) share THE SAME BIG
MAN WITH THE PLAN! (even "satanists" ie catholicism ass end up) Crazy,
isnīt it? Hell, islam even recognizes jesus as a great prophet...not the
messiah, and well hell, that gives them one more thing in common with the
jews too, doesnīt it? Small world, no? crazy crazy world....
<BR>Georgie...*sigh* that poor man. HE is not to blame for
this...as much as people donīt want to admit it...everyone loves to hate
the big cute retard...do you realize he canīt just run willy nilly blowing
shit up as he pleases? That he canīt declare a "war" without the vote of
congress? That his decisions are based on the votes and advice of cabinet
members?
<BR>This didnīt happen because he wanted to be like
his old man. It happened because when a new president takes over, itīs
like a changing of the guard..itīs when weīre at our weakest. Hell, think
of your first day at school...all the things you have to do, to set up, to
find your place, to accquaint yourself with new surroundings and
responsibilities. If someone held a gun to your head on your first day of
school how well would you handle it, versus midway or at the end when
youīre comfortable...think of yourself on your own turf...are a year older,
a year wiser, a year more experienced. Heap all sorts of shit on a new prez
and his staff....canīt make an omlett without smashing nice new eggs, huh?
Poke him and see if he dances a jig for the crowd. If he dances, stab him
some more. If he doesnīt, duck.
<BR>And we didnīt bomb
afghanistan because itīs afghanistan, and afghaniīs arenīt the terrorists
nor the targets. The taliban was just nice enough to put itīs hottest
targets where people wouldnīt want to bomb ie: schools, hospitals, crowded
cities. We went INTO afghanistan to help the already in place rebel
fighters ( who were not fighting their country men, they were fighting the
iron thumbed government that delighted in murdering their women and
starving their families and taking their sons to the grave) to find a GROUP
and eliminate them with as little cost to innocent life as we could. The
GROUP responsible for the attack and for the despair in afghanistan. We
arenīt at war with afghanistan, weīre at war with a terrorist network full
of madmen and murderers guilty of far more than the deaths in the states.
We set up a government. We sent aid. We sent food. We sent doctors.
<BR>Weīve done what we can to soften the blow, to ease the
transition to a free nation, to not be the enemy..to be the helping hand
weīve almost always have been.
<BR>
<BR>Iīm glad to
see that at least everyone can agree that war is bad. War is not good.
War is sad and makes our little heads hurt because it makes us think too
hard. That itīs stupid.
<BR>Iīm also glad to see that some of
us recognize it as awful but sometimes necessary to keep things from going
down the garbage disposal.
<BR>Cover your own ass first, fix
shit when itīs safe. ____________________

thanks for making me feel about . <-- that big. For one thing not
everyone is open minded all the time and this is just one of the issues I
am not open minded about. And I wasnīt trying to Christian bash and if you
were so open minded you would realize that its rude and disrespectful to
say xians. They hate that.
<BR>
<BR>Anywho Its
totaly wrong of me to bash back cause I am not trying to start any shyt
here and I was just posting my opinion you donīt like it oh well. Thats the
way that I feel on this matter. The whole matter of the terrorists attacks
has been blown way out of proportion.its been what 7 months today and they
still aint caught that S.O.B and I canīt turn on the tv and not see some
news report on war in Afganistan. Bombings in Afganistan. Blah blah blah
blah blah! And they said it was a Jihad. At the ceremony for all the lost
victims did you see one Pagan preist or preistess. NO! everyone wanted to
go to church and pray for lost victims when they themselves rarely go to
church. What about all the Pagans who Lit candles on their altars. What
about all the Athiests that felt sorry. What about all the other religions
of the world that were neglected?
<BR>
<BR>And have
you heard about Bushīs issue of Pagans in the military? heh we wonīt even
go there but iīm gonna stop talking now <IMG

Not bashing you, just making a point.
<BR>And if the kids can
abbreviate with cyberslang, I can abbrev long as words like "xmas" "xian"
"xopher". X is the abbreviation for "chr" "rch" "christ" sounds....saw a
billboard yesterday that said a play was running "max-feb". Same deal, and
when an xian gets pissed at me, Iīll discuss it with them.
<BR>Yes, itīs blown out of porportion, and like my initial fears
of everyone over there having an axe to grind with SOMEONE else, it was
gonna get muddy and messy and slippery, and it has become so. Very
right.
<BR>Whatīs bushīs problem with pagans in the military?
Oh hell, itīs not a clinton-esque "donīt ask, donīt tell" deal is it?
<BR>Man, donīt they have more important things to do? This is
HARDLY the time to take a military religious servey... ____________________
