So you are now claiming that carpet bombing residential areas and hospitals is a way of minimizing civilian casualties? That is the most senseless thing I've ever heard
We're not carpet bombing the cities or towns, enough said.
You obviously don't know what is going on. 1) There is no evidence they bombed us. The U.S. governmeny refused to give evidence against bin Laden because they believe it wasn't conclusive. 2) This attack was planned in July, before Sept. 11.
There is a crapload of evidence Al-Queda was resonsible for the Cole bombing at the very least, and at least some circumstantial crap against them about 9/11. So let me get this straight, you don't believe Al-Queda had anything to do with it?
One terrorist thing, when those rebels kill innocents to overthrow democratically elected governments. You are so desperate you are resorting to semantics. You now claim that just because we support terrorism, it makes it not terrorism. The terrorists traiend at the school of the americas have killed hundreds of thousands, that is more than any other state sponsored terrorism. Apparently you didn't know that, so you must be talking about something you know nothing about.
We didn't sponsor terrorism, we trained guerillas and rebels. There is a difference. We didn't tell them to be suicide bombers, etc. Were the Afghans we trained being told to go on into Russia and fly a few airliners into their tallest buildings? Russia was also invading them, I don't consider anything we've done in the middle east to be invading. What have we really done to them so far (in the middle east). True we should have helped out after Russia left afghanistan instead of just washing our hands of the affair but hey...
LOL! The U.S. has toppled more democracies than authoritarian dictatorships. You are just making yourself look bad now.
What democracy did we topple. Maybe I'm missing one...
1) Terrorism is terrorism, whether U.S. supported or not.
You're right, luckily we haven't supported terrorism. That also means the actions of these terrorists is un-excusable no matter their reason, since terrorism is terrorism...
2) This war was planned in July, according to Pakistan.
Give me a souce. What was our reason for this action then, and what was the planned action. Problems did exist in Afghanistan prior to this you know. Perhaps I'm not aware of something that would change how I felt about this topic, do share...
3) Civilians are not being avoided in our bombing in any way. Numerous war crimes have been commmited in violation of the Geneva Convention, including the execution of POW's and bombing hospitals.
The executing of any prisoners wasn't our doing, just because we're technically helping the rebels in some areas doesn't make us responsible for their every action... So we purposefully targetted some civilian hospitals eh? Proof? We are attempting to avoid the killing of civilians whether you like it not. If for no other reason than to avoid the bad press...
If you actually start believing some of the bull**** propaganda spewed out by the state, you are just begging for authoritarian rule as is happening now in Americawith Bush's seizure of power.
Someone else sounds like they've been buying into a little propaganda as well... But your propaganda is obviously right since it's from anti-US sources... Or have I been wrong about you all this time, and you're really over there in the thick of it fighting the good fight?
The fact of the matter is we are fighting a limited war in Afghanistan, and some innocents will die. We are not carpet bombing residential areas, we are not trying to kill babies. We are not deliberately blowing up any baby milk factories. We are not there after oil or any other resources, as soon as we're done kicking the taliban's ass and destroying Al-Queda, we'll be out of there. We are not the great Satan, and the Taliban government could have prevented all of this... They chose their fate, now they can cry me a river. No matter what Afghanistan is going to better off once we're done, you couldn't have come up with a more backward, oppressive sh*thole than Afghanistan was before if you tried...
Now if you want to talk about the BS policies the government is pushing here in the US in the name of safety after this attack, you and I would probably agree...
