World War 2... Hiroshima... Nagasaki... there was no fear of Japanese protest when these two cities were destroyed. It was a war. There were no
rules.
Why is President Bush sending soldiers all over the desert to find Bin Laden? Take the intelligence they have, find a general area the man is located,
and destroy the entire area. Sure, innocent lives will be lost, but how many innocent American and other lives have been lost since Sept. 11, 2001
because of terrorists? Chances are though, Bin Laden and the entire Al Queda army is hiding in the desert, completely isolated from any innocent
residents of the country who may take the bounty on their heads, and being protected and supported by the country they are in.
In Afghanistan, the US military had a perfect opportunity to kill Bin Laden immediately, but Bush wanted to handle a militaristic regime harboring the
world's most wanted man, with respect and tolerance. How much respect was given to the US by the Taliban when asked to turn over the world's most
wanted fugitive?
The bottom line is... President Bush is in his first term, and cannot afford to lose public approval, or he will not have a second term. So, sacrifice
what it right, to get what he wants. How much more selfish can the leader of this country be?
A perfect example... The public apology to the militant terorists in Iraq. Why is this country even concerned about the treatment of these terrorists
that are captured? The media's portrayal of the mistreatment and deaths of the prisoners in Iraq has disgusted me. Two decapitated Americans, and
soon to be a man from South Korea as well, received about 30 seconds of coverage on CNN each hour, while the poor, defenseless terrorists and Iraqi
soldiers in custody in Iraq, murdered by the soldiers whose lives they threatened, and, were upheld as victims of abuse for nearly 50% of each hour
for over a week! WHO CARES???? Executing a man who kills any American soldier, or any innocent resident of Iraq, sounds like pretty civil treatment to
me. Line them up, take the remainder of the squadron that faced the attack which killed American soldiers, and let the remaining soldiers open fire.
No trial, no prosecution, no civil rights... just the evidence gathered on the field. This is a war, not a test to see how nice the US can be to the
enemy.
