Why not? You seem to be doing a lot of judging. On what basis do you judge America's actions?
It is a simple question of Islamic law - if the Allies of the Quyrash attack the Allies of the Muslims, is that a valid casus belli? It is not as direct as in this case when the Allies of the Taleban actually attacked America, and not just once, and not just killing one man, not an Ally.
And yet this is what happened with the Meccans. Osama was not only supported by the Taleban, who were not the official recognised government of Afghanistan, but protected by them as well. It made sense to Muhammed to attack Mecca and rip up the Treaty of al-Hudaybiyah when the Quraysh's allies attacked his allies. Do you know the phrase what is good for the goose is good for the gander? Why the double standard?
Well what I call it is neither hee nor there but the US government does not call it a war or, as I said, they would be POWs and treated better.
A massacre? Well yes, I guess it was.
If someone attacks you, you sort of have to attack back. The US put up with a lot from Osama Bin Laden. He thought that meant the US was weak. Well there's a mistake he will not make twice. And assuming that Osama's messages mean what they seem to mean (please make peace with me, and, later when that failed, if you don't make peace with me I'll huff and I'll puff and blow your house down) presumably OBL is running scared.
What oil? Afghanistan is not worth it. No one thinks so. The US is paying half the government budget. It is a dump. A beautiful dump, but the entire economy is worth about nothing.
Well never as far as I can see. Always thought that was a bad idea. But at least the sanctions are gone.
Afghanistan was more than one man. Iraq seems to be a war based on a desire to finish the job and get on with it. But I don't know for sure.
Well it ain't pretty but we are playing with the Big Boys now. The US did not start this. The US does not play as dirty as their enemies. But bad things need to happen to bad people.
It is unfortunate that they are being held as illegal combatants and it is a pity you do not see what I mean, but the fact remains if they were POWs they would be much better off.
Which is big of you. Not a feeling shared by many people in the Third World I have notice.
Explain that one to me as it applies to women. It is within Western culture to show mercy and honor as well. Sometimes the West does. But then it is also within Muslim culture to kidnap peace workers and torture them and then execute them. Sometimes we do not live up to the best of our traditions. Neither your brothers, nor the Americans.
I am not justifying it. I just don't think it is the biggest injustice in the world at the moment.
LOL im judging??
You can not force someone to open there eyes..it is your choice..
You do not see it as the biggest injustice in the world...
Ok...
that is your choice...
You say that my brothers and sisters do not show the same compassion you may hear from me? they too are muslim they run by the same rules as me...
as i said there are stated rules when at war..from a prespective of afgan and iraq muslims have been attacked on the basis of a war against terror...
that really makes no sense..
As i said you answer no question instead you make new questions...
what was the iraq war for? US comes into afgan and iraq to start there own little war and you justify the death of so many innocents so easily??
Pathetic...
One man aint worth that many lives...
You do not seem to have all the facts..
as i said i have compassion for both sides i want justice..
You seem to be batting for one side and it aint justice its justification...
So calmlyyou sit there and explain how theres nothing in afgan fo US!? do you know of what you even talk ?? theres no oil are you quite sure my friend!?

Thats 2004....wake up..
Your view is blinded......
Behead aid workers...oh please how would that make sense...
Yeah ok a bunch of insurgents grab a aid worker and behead him!?
Oh that will anger the west..oh we wont look bad will we oh it wont cause more hate for us in the west will it..
nothing to gain..
whatever you want to beleive you beleive..
this war was started for greed not weapons of mass destructions not osama not for democracy...
for greed...
