Some people in the world have no moral beliefs. They just like to argue or complain.
Before September 11th, people were upset that America wasn't doing enough to stop the Afghan Taliban regime for crimes against humanity. Now, people are upset because America WILL do something.
True, it took a sad and terrible event to make America proactive. I understand each person is worried about HOW America will conduct themselves, but I am confident we will succeed.
The Taliban has around 300,000 dedicated soldiers, who are willing to die. However, recent intel showed that over 50,000 of these "willing soldiers" fled Afghanistan. Then we have the opposition. They currently have 15,000 people fighting the Taliban (maybe more). Don't be too naive to believe that everybody in Afghanistan is a willing participant in the Taliban regime. When push comes to shove, you WILL see many of these "willing soldiers" run or surrender (remember Iraq?). This war will have many fronts.
Calling this a war is too general. A war is not only fought with weapons, but also with political strategy. Don't misunderstand me. The political strategy will be backed up with weapons and an invasion force.
The invasion won't consist of 200,000 mindless troops jumping into the heart of Afghanistan. If you truly believe that, then you really need to stop watching TV. Even the news media is talking about the difficult terrain and how that will hinder our efforts. I don't have the specifics about what strategy the military will use, but I'm sure they are looking into everything, including the terrain.
On a different subject, allow me to move your minds from the "War" and back to the Taliban. These people are not brave fighters for a religious cause. They are cowards. They rape young girls, kill women and unarmed men and use terrorists to make them look more powerful. No, I'm not talking about NYC. I'm talking about what they are doing to the Afghan people! It is now that the Taliban should be dismantled and eradicated from Afghanistan.
The Taliban supported Bin Laden and (I'm totally positive about this) knew about his plans to hit NYC. Even if Bin Laden left Afghanistan, the Taliban are still co-conspirators to the NYC tragedy. By supporting Bin Laden and his terrorist organization, the Taliban are just as guilty.
If the U.S. and their allies wish to make the Taliban an example to other countries that are or will support terrorists, then so be it. Once the extremist view the world's resolve to punish terrorist and their supporters, then terrorist acts will minimize (note, I didn't say "disappear"). Don't believe me? Study how terrorism works.
The hardest terrorists or terrorist organizations to find are the ones who receive state support. The easiest ones to eradicate are the ones that have no state support. So, what does this mean? Well, if another terrorist act occurs, then these terrorists and their organizations can be hunted down and brought to justice with ease.
It will take this "war" to ensure that another war will not be needed to hunt down and bring to justice those who use terrorism as a self-serving medium to promote their cause.
Terrorists have a fluid agenda. Once they receive positive results, they WILL find another reason to bomb and kill. And since terrorist receives the Taliban's (Afghanistan) blessings and support, you can bet terrorism will use more deadly methods.
The Taliban in Afghanistan needs to be the example to other terrorist sponsor states. Again, terrorism won't go away. But they won't receive full state support. Without full support, the money, the resources and the replacements become scarce. Even now, you are witnessing many "terrorist states" retract their support for certain terrorist groups. The threats and demands placed upon the Taliban in Afghanistan have produced small, but important, results.
Whether or not you agree with this war, it is necessary to try and stop such actions from happening again. This war will have many fronts and not all of them will be in the battlefield. People will die, both allied and Afghani, but they will die by choice.
The woman lying in the street, covered head to toe, begging for food is more willing to die to free her children, than to have them grow up under the Taliban's rule. That sounds harsh, but it is true. The allies will make every attempt to prevent collateral damage, but the Taliban are known to put innocents in harms way. So, if you read about women and children dying from a missile attack, take it with a grain of salt
