know what i think??
the US has been humiliated by the actions of terrorism. the people want a QUICK way for retaliation... therefore the use of Force is the ONLY option <--- (for the quickest way only and none other unless there is a miracle) ------------------ Revived I Am to hunt this world...

You must also realize that terrorism can also be considered the reporting of a possible threat by terrorist groups. It is also the rumors that are flying, about the next possible targets.
The attacks made on September 11 were violent, destructive, premeditated acts. The terror is what has happened afterwards. The terror continues in the hearts and minds of all who are victims. Terrorists do not necessarily want to physically destroy all of America, they wish to break our spirit. Raining death and destruction on these enemies is not the only way to stop it (and I doubt it can). We need to break out of this cycle of fear and anger to combat this. The best way is to show we are strong by not fearing. To beef up security, but not give up our freedoms. To not attack innocent Americans who have Ibn in there names, people who love Islam. If we give up "any" freedom, if we prosecute innocent individuals, if we kill countless innocent people oversees, they will continue to win and grow make no mistake. The best we can to is be ready ,awareand stop the next attacks, stay strong and proud, and stop making up patriotic names for the next attacks we make on foriegn soil. This what I think, right or wrong. Thank you G'kar, for this thread and your excellent first post. You have my utmost respect! Mark |

G'kar - i was touched by your post and fully agree with the sentiments expressed. you are right. the chritian view ought to follow the principles of christ, a man who objected loudly on occasion but never ever harmed a soul.
just to make a brief point - cornelius was jewish. he was converted to christianity in acts but no mention of his career was included, possibly because the emphasis of the scripture was to do with race and god's love of all nations. |

I'd prefer if this conflict could be settled peacefully, but the Taliban government of Afghanistan has refused to hand over Bin Laden which would have ended the conflict peacefully and when Bin Laden and his terrorists get attacked it will not be revenge, it will be Justice, it will be punishment for all the lives he has ruined and all the people he has killed, and it will be to protect others from ever being hurt by him again, it saddens me that it must come to violence, but at the moment, no other solution presents itself and in this case, a violent solution is better than no solution.

G'kar and Skywalker, excellent posts! I agree totally.
Count yourselves as members of the Clan of the Illuminati, the resident illuminated mutual admiration society It will be interesting to see how many innocent people the US ends up killing in this "War", whether it is more or less than that of the Terrorists. |
