"No, but levelling a country with innocents in it is not the answer
either. Until they have proof and the investigations are completed then
no one should be quick to jump to conclusions that a particular group
did this."
Did the US do this yet? No.
"I have no love for the Taliban, it sickens me to think what they have
done. And whatever reason someone has for destroying Bin Laden with all
the grief he has caused in the past I ain't going to argue."
My thoughts exactly. I agree with you here. I'd like to see him
brought to justice -- to be made an example of to the international
community. Odds are this won't happen -- odds are that he'll get away
and deny, deny, deny.
"BUt you also have to look at the situation in light of a retaliatory
strike, and what the response of the rest of the world might be."
I don't think that the world would argue if we as a united community
came up with the proper evidence that someone (I'm NOT saying bin Laden)
was responsible for this.
"Strike somewhere yes, hit back and hit back hard...but don't do it on a
reflex action without a proper investigation. I think that less than a
day is not a proper investigation, and at this point you can't really be
certain who was responsible for this carnage. No one has yet come out
and affirmed that YES we KNOW who did this, and there is ar eason for
that, they still DON'T know for certain or beyond any reasonable doubt
who did this."
Again, did you read, hear, or see that the US has retaliated in any way.
Like I said, we're NOT savages. We'll investigate, and do whatever is
necessary.
"Afghanistan may be involved, but it could also have been a joint action
between terrorist groups, and in that case it would be detrimental to
simply focus on Afghanistan and allow some others to escape."
No, but threats and politcal pressure sometimes work well.
"Investigation, Good use of INtelligenece resources and THEN a
retaliation is what the course of action should be in my opinion. Not
simply levelling a country because you are pretty sure they might have
something to do with it. That is my point, that is what I'm saying, and
anything else you said that did not address that point has nothing to do
with me, or my opinions. Don't put words in my mouth."
I didn't put any words in your mouth, but right away you're assuming
that US citizens would like to see tomahawks fired at Afghanistan. This
is not true! I'm not going to get into a tit-for-tat argument with you.
You have your valid points, but you're not a NYer. Did you lose anyone
in this mess? Do you give a rat's ass about anything that's happened to
the victims of this crime?
I think I'm about done with this topic.
Good day,
