a couple of months ago Osama bin Laden made a speach and in his speach the part that to me stuck out the most was the part when he said something along the lines of "we (the terrorists) do not have tanks, planes, armies etc. so the ONLY way to fight our enemies is to use terrorist tactics"
well ATSers he is 100% right!!!
the terrorist want to fight their enemies (it doesnt matter who the enemy is for this discusion) but their enemies have better technologies (sp???) than them so the ONLY way for them to be able to do any damage to the enemy is using these terrorist tactics
it doesnt matter HOW you fight, it matters only that you fight...
in the speach, Osama bin Laden later said "call the way we fight terrorist tactics or terrorism but this is the ONLY way we can fight. You call it terrorism because it's a different way of fighting that you are not used to."
does the fact that terrorism is a different way of fighting make it wrong???
a war is a battle between one country and another right???
everyone in those two countries are targets!!!
it doesnt matter HOW you fight, it matters only that you fight...
if you have any questions or you just want to scream at me or call me an idiot do so here...

Im sorry, I only read the first few entries and the thing that seems to be an issue is attacks on the civilian population. Well, they may strap a bomb to themselves and blow up a supermarket, but what does the West do with all its military power? Detonates the first atomic weapon, "accidentallly" targets civilian structures with its smart bombs, and claim: "Its war. People die." So I'm not saying killing civilians in any way is justified, but you have to see the other side of the coin. You can't just ignore it to further your argument. When you think about it, we are not much different from the "terrorists" becasue we both kill civilians, create hate in the world, and terrorize the enemys population. Terrorism is relative In Iraqs (and other parts of "The Empire") case, the US is the terrorist. In our case, Iraq is the terrrorist. Furthermore, you dont think that if they (al-Quieda) DID have a military power, that they wouldnt fight us? Its time for us to leave the world alone and stop creating more hate. Were causing more problems than we are solving.
