Once again, I fully understand the consequences of doing this. The idea here is not to stop terrorism... it's merely to displace the battlefield from our backyards to their backyards. The end result will be the same: people (and alot of innocent ones) will die. There's no two way around it. I would rather nobody die and that we all live in a utopic society where everyone is happy. But, if I have to choose between my wife and children dying or the other guys wife and children dying... I pick the other guy. Quote:

But again, war law is dictated by the winners. Would you rather they dictate the law? [This message has been edited by Ryanamur (edited 09-11-2001).] |

Anyway, it wasn't just money needed for this, where are you going to find at least 4, probably more people to fly a plane into a building. All of which, I suspect, have no link beforehand. [This message has been edited by Staralfur (edited 09-11-2001).] |

You can never remove terrorism from any country, it seed will allways exist. All such actions will do is to make people in others country simipths with the terrorists and that would make them stronger and less the Us in the worlds view. There is no 'Win' to such actions only 'Lose' [This message has been edited by Gabriel (edited 09-11-2001).] |

Again, you're thinking in grey. No, I wouldn't like it. I would sure hope that my familly would not die in such an horrific way. However, I cannot let this thought cloud my judgement. If I was a military strategist (which I'm not... but probably should be ) I would not let my judgement be clouded by the morality of the issue. Yes, it is horrific that innocent would die in the process. However, I would rather the other guy's familly died then mine. If I start projecting pain from the impact, I would not bomb them... I would not kill them which means that the terrorist (who really doesn't give a damn about anything but the CAUSE) can still hijack a plane and crash it in Disney World when I'm there for a visit. It's war. There's nothing pretty about war. The aim of war is to dominate your ennemy by ANY means available. If you loose you're dead and if you win, you don't have to worry about the consequenses because you make the law.

I am going to withdraw from this discussion for now to cool off a bit, before I really get angry. |
