i agree with you Lord darkside to some extent. we "the usa" and the "soviet union" are responsible for the terrorism we now face. we created bin laden. we gave him and his people the training, the weapons, and the technology. we had them fight wars for us. we used them, then denied them help when they wanted it. bin laden is frankensteins' monster reincarnate. we can not just point the finger and call them all "evil doers" like bush tries to do. in their minds, what they are doing to us is perfectly justified. just like the things that we have done to cultures and countries in the past. even as far back as the american indians. our government have done just as horrible things in the past.
my point is, two wrongs do not make a right. the way we are handling this so called war is far from justified. what is justice anyways? who decides when an action is justified? george bush? the thought is scary. we are taking innocent lives in the process of "getting justice" on bin laden and his followers the taliban. our government did not believe bin laden when he said his plans. we could have prevented this years ago. it should have never came to the horrible events of sept 11th. our government is just as responsible for it as osama is when it comes down to it. ignorance is the greatest weakness on both sides. they both think violence and ethnic cleansing can solve everything.
why do the taliban use technology against us when they are against all technology? because just like our government, they believe the ends justifies the means.
