Mubbers. Again you bring up islamic terrorists. So by blowing up another Islamic state (despite what the US say, civilians WILL die) that will stop Islamic Terrorists?
Hey look... US just killed some of our brethren. Lets stop all our terrorist activities. A US led War will just merely strengthen their resolve. Violence begets Violence.
1945. Wait long enough and the Japanese would have surrendered. It just so happened the US were impatient. Japan was on the verge of defeat. The nukes were premature and not necessary.
If all you have left to defend is your own country in a world war, you are not about to win.
Just so we understand, you asked me what my solution to stop islamic terrorism?
Lets start by not electing evangelistic presidents. Bill Clinton was a great president with a few blemishes (oh whoopti dooo... so he cheated on his wife... big WHOOP). Did we concentrate on his PEACE efforts? Yeah for like 3 days.
The reason Islamic terrorists are pissed are because of the sanctions on most Islamic countries or lack of assistance and the lack of tact when dealing with their religion.
If you truly understood the Muslim religion (i won't even pretend to understand it completely). It has many parallels with Christianity but of course it has enough differences and that is why it is a completely different religion.
The Islamic Terrorists are a bunch of rowdy ****ers who have twisted the teachings of Islam to their own desires.
Its like saying the KKK are terrorists that represent true Christian beliefs. They don't and we all know they don't. Yet somehow we associate Islamic Terrorists with true Muslim believers. Get over it.
Do not use terrorists links for a War. The first reason for this is. Unless a link is ACTUALLY evident then there is no smart reason for using that as a reason.
Imagine the oppressed races by the KKK decided to have a war with all Anglo Saxon countries. They would say, We are on a War Against Oppression. We must oppress first before they opress back. Our biggest enemy is the USA, it is the hq of the KKK. We must bomb it back into the stone age. President Bush is a member of the KKK for the mere fact he is christian.
As you can see.. my above paragraph is complete and utter nonsense. But the funny thing is, thats what President Bush is saying. Shame we couldn't have an intelligence test on our would be leaders. Could be a whole new generation of benchmarks. LeaderMark 2003.
I was using the analogy of Pearl Harbour vs 9/11 to see whether or not something like that would be a good reason to go to war
And that is why your analogy is flawed. The US KNEW Japan was responsible for the attack. Not a Japanese Terrorist group. It was the Japanese ordered by their then Emporer.
9/11 is and we KNOW was caused by Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda network. There is NO link between Bin Laden and Saddam except that they are Muslims (lets kill all christian leaders for any and all christian terrorists now)
They are different situations that do not help your argument.
FYI, read the very first post for my ideas. It was full of invective as i was pointing out holes. 2 paragraphs obviously mean a well thought out idea and execution of reasoning
