mm.. Ya covered a lot of ground there! ... And I can't begin to suggest a solution to the world's security.
thats clear - so far you suggest "peace at any cost"
------------------------------------------
Some things I can only surmise on are that I do not believe Saddam is "x weeks away from nuclear" whatevers.
nobody said he was weeks away from anything... particularly concerning Nuclear weapons
------------------------------------
Yea.. there is one big fucking problem it he ventures to provide some terrorist organization with facilities to manufacture either nuclear or biological weapons...
-- no shit - he needs to be stopped
-----------------------------------
However... not by one long shot, is Saddam the only possible supplier to any such organization..
--- how many is too many to do anything about? if there is more than one... does this mean doing nothing because you can argue all day long that the other is just as dangerous?
-------------------------------
what were "friends" of the US in the past (some are now!).. have this capability. Many weapons have been supplied to countries in the past and this has subsequently backfired.
-- the world is an imperfect place. the issue is security today... not security 50-40 or 30 years ago
--------------------------------
As for bin Laden blah... he and is countrymen fought on behalf of the "west" and were supplied with arms to do this.
-- they fought on behalf of themselves because they were being invaded.
------------------------------------
Then, when the battle time passed and he became expendable, there were many broken promises by western powers. So hell... I dunno! :-)
--what promises were broken in Afghanistan?
--------------------------------------
There is no way any sane person can condon violence, either on Sept 11 incident or by bombing others.
-- no one suppports violence. the issue is not violence. the issue is survival. Maybe you should send the fruit basket to Osama Bin Laden... i would prefer that he is killed.
--------------------------------------
There is also no way any sane person can consider invading a country and putting their own citizens lives at stake and the many others who will suffer in the process without having a very just cause.
-- what invasion? do you know something the Pentagon has not told us?
---------------------------------------
At the end of the day, people have to talk and try and understand the opinions of others.
-- you call Osma Bin Laden and try to "work it out". lets record it and post it on the web. Explain to him that he religion does not actually demand that he kills all infidels... continue to explain that it is not his duty to kill infidels. keep explaining that they wont really secure a place in paradise for themselves and their families for fighting their self declared "Holy War" and tell them that the whole 72 virgins thing is a bunch of BS
