Re: [L-OT] OTOT: Afghan bombimg raids

2001-11-01 by LogicBaby

Hi Lars and Dennis;

So I don�t repeat myself too much, here is my thoughts on this;

1-War and Bombs is not the answer the this crises, there are better means to
fight terrorism Namely SOLVING problems in the world that gives the
terrorist excuses to hide behind and play with peoples emotions.
2- There is NO concrete evidence as to who did this or who is sending antrax
mail yet.
3-Bin Laden is an extreme terrorist no argument there, but I am not
convinced that he alone was behind all this, so sending soldiers and bombers
after Taliban and millions of Afghanis does not make sense IMHO.
4-Taliban is a dark ages regime No doubt, but there are so many
dictatorships and terrorist states in the world that are considered friends
to the US. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Most of Africa, Israel.
5-Again, this goes back to foreign policies, people like Bin laden had no
excuse provided that US foreign policies in the middle east were more
balanced and NOT always blindly biased towards Israel. This answers why some
people in the middle east hate America and when some idiot like Bin Laden
teases there emotions and anger against all the injustices he is seen as a
Robin Hood. 

6-Please be careful about not generalizing this and thinking of Muslims as
your enemy, There are radicals and extremists everywhere and its easy to use
religion as a mean of justification for ones actions, that does not mean
that all Muslims believe in what Bin laden or Taliban preaches..... Do all
Christians believe in what the Church of Scientology preaches?? Or do all
Jews believe in what Zionism preaches, the answer is NO.
