I > am seriously interested in what you think on this. Try him in international court, the Hague. You don't kill an entire city. Like his people have any control over what is happening there. They are not like us, don't think like us, did not grow up in a republic like us, don't have the same values as us, don't watch TV every night, don't drive all over the place, don't have laws (in our past) protecting them from illegal search and seizure or wiretapping. They have little in the way of personal rights and nearly none as relates to the government. Summary executions are the norm. He is a sick man and needs to be deposed. That is the course I would recommend. We had the chance under Bush 1. He made a bad decision based on the OIL issue, not what is good for the people of his country or ours. > > And as to our willingness to commit great violence: What did we do for > the 200 plus US Marines that died in Lebanon?

Most Afghani's probably didn't know crap about America before 9/11. What you want is some people dead. You want us to puff out our chest and kick some ass. Only, whose ass do you kick? The "people". What did they do. Shit man, they are just trying to eak out a living. You don't see many fat people in Iraq. Or people with all their teeth. Or medical centers, etc. Man, what are we thinking? And Christmas around the corner.
