If we have a beef with AQ, we should have sent SpecOps to root them out, not wage war on Afghanis.

OMG!!!. violating the sovereign borders of Afghanistan would not have amounted to a declaration of war in and of itself?

And we're supposed to guarantee that no Afghanis are killed?

Geezus Sarman.. Those are SERIOUS DRUGS YOU'RE INHALING!! Hell, I've no doubt you've already chewed through a suitcase full of Khat thus far today.

What's even more amazing is that you apply one standard to us, but let your militant Muslim buddies pursue a completely different standard. You ARE TRULY A MORON if you think we're going to swallow that kind of BS.

Your Militant Muslim buddies kill innocent people ALL THE FRICKIN' TIME!! They murder other muslims. They murder fellow Afghanis in the name of Allah..

So don't feed us that BS that you really give a flying f*ck about the Afghanis.

And your buddies in Lebanon and Gaza fling rockets across the borders HOPING, IF NOT PRAYING THAT they kill innocent civilians.

If you think the Afghanis are "innocent", then it must be implicitly acknowledged that the Taliban conquered and subjugated them and that our actions liberated them from such foreign and oppressive rule. Which means we are on the side of the Afghani people.

But here's how "traditional international law" perceives the issue:

The Afghani people permitted the Taliban to come to power.

The Afghani people permitted the Taliban to provide safe haven and training facilities to Al Qaida.

The Afghani people suffer the same fate as their government.


They were the "recognized" and "legitimate" government of that country and the policies they implement bear consequences for everyone in their country.

Do you think most Germans, or Japanese attacked the US, or even wanted to attack ANYONE?? They just shut their mouths and lived their lives as best they could, hoping that the war would not touch their lives. But it did.. We rained down bombs over both countries in hopes of undermining their support for their country's war effort.

And even NOW, with nuclear weapons, do you think you can use of those without killing innocent civilians? Do you think Iran will be able to use one against Israel without killing innocent Israelis and Palestinians?

You want a "kinder, gentler, form of war Sarman.. But that's not possible. War is terrible.. War is brutal.. War can often be indiscriminate in who is victimized by it.

And the US military is FAR MORE PROACTIVE in avoiding civilian casualties than any of your fanatical Muslim Militants.. You think all innocents are "martyrs" to your cause.

You bastards pray for death, so don't try and BS us with your crocodile tears over the lives of innocent civilians.
