America is not the good guy just because it's starting a war to wipe out terrorism and arrest Osama bin Laden. nobody's doing the right thing either way, so why is America getting praised for it???? |
This has never been a good guy bad guy thing. War never is. Look on your screens, see CNN, NBC. See the propaganda. Do you really believe that is Bush himself believed all terrorists were in Afghanistan, he would tell that over and over and over...?
In my opinion, the US are retaliating. That, and they are pursuing a few minor goals:
1: To overthrow the fundamentalist government.
2: To test various new state-of-the-art battle toys (weapons)
3: Dumping lots of bombs that were outdated... Cleaning the armory, so to say..
4: Keeping up the appearance that with each bomb dropped a terrorist dies. IE keeping morals high.
In a way, I still blame the US for bringing this onto themselves. As said before, poverty and ignorance are the breeding grounds for terrorism. Sheep with desires will seek a shephard. And be he good or bad, they will follow.
To prevent terrorism one can go about 2 ways:
1: Kill the shepherds. Without leaders, no organisation, even a terrorist one, can succeed.
2: Quelch the desires of the sheep. Educate them, and raise their spirits. And not by dropping a bit of food, or sending a few kids a cheque. That doesn't work, that only kills the effects, not the causes. We (western people) must stop feeling pity for the poor hungry kids. As harsh as it may sound, every mouth fed, 2 more open. As harsh as it is... Many of those mouths must close forgood, and will, ere some progress is made.
And there is also 3: Kill all sheep. But anyone with a bit of humanity will not resort to that. That is the job of the terrorists.
Anyways... EOF(rant)
