..leave jesus out of this, he's got nothing to do with it. It's none of his business.This is about war, this is about taking steps to make sure this kind of thing won't, or at least, isn't likely/probable to happen again. And there is only one way to do that....any person, country or government that has ever harboured this a$$hole or members of his organization for even one lousy hour, or given him even one lousy dime in support, must be completely descimated, their cities bombed, their homes burned to the ground and their families killed. IMO that is the only way we can begin to stop this type of terrorism.
Plain and simple, we are never going to catch the handful of people that are directly responsible for this, and even if we did, another group would sprout up like a weed to take its place in no time. When these people die they are considered martyrs and heros and there are always new ones who would love to achieve that status as well.
Therefore, we have to hit them where it counts and that is right in the place where these legends grow and these people are worshipped....their homes and homelands. Right now there are several places, most likey in Afghanistan where people are very proud of what happened yesterday for they know that their support of these monsters was instrumental in making this happen. Would they still be happy and proud if they knew that hundreds of thousands of their population was about to be systematicaly wiped out by the U.S.A? Would they still consider these terrorists to be heros for destroying a couple of buildings and killing a few thousand people if they knew that the damage they were GUARANTEED to suffer in retaliation was going to be 100x worse than anything their martyrs had accomplished? Would they still consider them heros then for being responsible for what would certainly be a near annihalation of their homeland? Would they still consider it worth it at that point or would they realize that maybe the price of their actions is too high.
The only way we can make this stop is for these supporters to make that realization that the price of supporting terrorism is too steep, and the ONLY way that is going to happen is with extreme force.
Seriously, just look how long this guy has been able to reign terror on the World.....no one man can do that alone, he needs the support of governments and nations to do that, and we need to cut him off from that system of support.
Sorry to rant, I don't want to argue with anyone, I'm just very upset as I'm sure all of you are.
Also, I've been following the OT board the last couple of days and I'm very glad to see that everyone appears to be present and accounted for.
