Wow...is that really the end? Thank goodness, because that was such a load of rubbish I don't think I could read much more.
No proof that Bin Laden committed the act huh? Bin Laden has denied it? Do you even read a newspaper once in awhile? Bin Laden took responsibility for it and continues to take responsibility for it. As for any other evidence, the money trail leads directly to Afghanistan.
As for the Taliban, the U.S. doesn't care about "Shariah Law", especially not coming from that group of thugs. In any event, the goal was the destruction of the Al-Qaeda training grounds and infrastructure, not only the capture of one man.
Now Iraq. Yes, the evidence proposed to the U.N. turned out to be faulty. However, it was a U.N. resolution that promised "serious consequences" if Iraq didn't fully cooperate with weapons inspections, which they did not. The fact that the U.N. doesn't back up its own resolutions isn't the fault of the U.S.
First: Why don't you learn to speak to others in a respectful manner and keep your arrogance hidden. Contrary to what you may think, there are those of us that do take the time to research unbiased sites and information sources and not base our opinions on what the government wants us to know. The only pile of rubbish I see is your attempt to justify what the rest of the world knows is an illegal invasion and the very real possibility they could do it again!
Second: Do you ever watch anything besides CNN?? Why don't you use the little piece of equipment you're using now to look at unbiased reports...Non-Muslim and Non-American. Show ONE, just ONE authenticated admission of guilt by Ossama Bin Laden. Every single video tape was determined to be FAKE by universities in the USA and, I do believe it was Swiss Officials that have no reason to lie. The ONLY ones with a reason to lie is...oh let's see....yes, right, the government of the USA!! And they have been caught in a plethora of lies since the illegal invasion. Bin Laden openly DENIED his involvement. Funny thing is....THOSE tapes were determined to be authentic!! The money came from Afghanistan....and that is your proof it was Bin Laden?? And what kind of proof is that? They couldn't determine the existence of WMDs in a war torn country but they have the intelligence to determine where funding came from with 100% certainty? okie dokie LOOOL
Third: The USA doesn't care about the laws of ANYONE and that, my friend, is the point!! As a predominately Muslim country, they don't care about the man made laws of the USA, but because they are a 3rd world country without firepower, "they lose". The "training grounds" were founded and funded by the USA. The soldiers trained by the USA. They produced what they are now fighting! Young American soldiers and innocent civilians are the ONLY ones paying the price for that and you can try to justify it anyway you want. You will find very few that will agree with you.
Fourth: The fact is the USA wants EVERYONE to bow down to UN resolutions as long as it suits their purpose. The laws do not apply to them!! Why didn't the USA go blow up Israel when they wouldn't allow UN weapons inspectors in to do their job? When Israel said they were only building Nuclear plants for power, etc., and NOT developing weapons...why weren't there sanctions placed on them when it was determined they lied!? Why weren't they bombed? Why were there no consequences for that? Why? And, Iraq DID comply with UN inspectors and the inspectors reported finding NOTHING!!!! The USA didn't like the report and kept pushing. I had no use for Saddam, but it doesn't change the fact the USA lied and bullied their way in to bomb a country that was no threat to anyone, including its own neighbours according to the USA themselves just a few months PRIOR to the illegal attack.
And you think they need or want a valid reason to invade another country? LOOL
And you can have the last word because I am done. Research for yourself and look a little deeper than what the USA government wants you to see. Try to justify to those soldiers why they are dying in Iraq. Justify it to the parents who have lost their sons/daughters while "serving" their country. The only thing the American people need to be saved from is their own government!!
