this is the problem with wars and revenge.

the citizens killed on 9-11 were good guys, and some of the people we are now killing are good guys too.

why no reciprocal sympathy for innocents everywhere?

i am not naive enough to think that there aren't bad guys in the world (there are bad guys everywhere obviously), but we need a better way to target JUST those responsible, instead of what we are doing now. there can be no long-term good out of killing children and decimating a country.

we sure as hell need better interception so attacks like 9-11 don't happen again-there were a lot of warnings ahead of time, and yet 9-11 tragically happened anyway.

maybe we should be investing more in defense, not offense--including guarding our border, for a change.

I knew people killed on that fateful day in September, and i have seen and witnessed the pain and suffering still to this day, for loved ones being taken way way too soon. Terrible on my part maybe, but i have no pity, sorry and no i am not sorry.
I am only sorry for your losses and all of the others that lost friends and family that day.

another reason not to have wars-BS like this:

Weak Obama Admin Says Benefits of Secretly Releasing Taliban Soldiers Outweigh the Risks | Stand Up To Government Corruption & Hypocrisy | USBACKLASH.ORG «

the taliban are our friends and our enemies-so let's kill them, bribe them, catch them, or free them-doesn't matter! it's all good!

(quote, CBC)
So allied governments are preparing to put $100 million into something called the Reintegration and Reconciliation Program, aimed at lower- and medium-level Taliban fighters.

And that's just a start. If the bribe fund shows results, the main donors — the U.S., Britain and Japan —have indicated that up to $500 million could eventually flow towards providing new futures for deserting Taliban (end)

i am sure that they wouldn't misappropriate the money given, even if they are our "declared" enemy.

for the record, we are STILL doing this BS, with kerry wanting to arm the insurgents in syria now:

imbeciles making the calls everywhere.




but don't forget real victims like pat tillman either.

Exactly. After watching people jumping to their deaths from 110 stories, to escape the hell of burning to death, I have no sympathy with a murderer that was uncomfortable for a few seconds.
