    "As people have said many times..Negotiation was attempted and ignored by the taliban. Fundamentalists do not negotiate."

    What was it Bush said in reply to the Taliban offer of negotiating a trial for UBL? Oh yes that was it: 'No negotiations, no negotiations.' Well it looks like Bush is a fundamentalist too.

    {T}, offering to negotiate a trial and offering to negotiate the handing over of Bin Laden are very different things. They know full well that the US will not consent to a trial by a friendly islamic country, he said as much weeks ago. Reiterating an offer that you made before and had refused is not negotiation.
    Well it looks like Bush is a fundamentalist too.

    Buddhist monks dont have sex, does that mean everyone who doesnt have sex is a monk?

    Why dont all the warmongering morons on these boards do themselves a favour and fly out to Afghanistan to fight?
    Maybe because they realise the truth- its an unjust war , the US bombing some of the poorest people on Earth supposedly in an attempt to destroy a terrorist network they helped set up in the first place.
    Ill make a prediction here-the US will stay involved in Afghanistan long enough to build an oil pipeline from Uzbekistan to Pakistan via Afghanistan-thats what they really want-the oil of the central Asian republics.

    soapbarbpy,

    So because our opinions differ from yours we are morons? How typical.
    fly out to Afghanistan to fight?

    What a childish thing to say. Why dont you go to Afghanistan and help with the aid efforts?

    The Taliban and Bin Ladens group, who were are bombing, are most certainly NOT some of the poorest people on earth. Despite what you may think there is no asserted effort to bomb the people of afghanistan.
    thats what they really want-the oil of the central Asian republics.

    So fucking what if they do want the oil? They will pay for it so whats the problem? The oil line would be built anyway once the taliban saw they could make cash from it. If oil were the only reason then the US would have gone into afghanistan years ago...You are a very stupid man if you think the murder of 7000 americans had nothing to do with it.

    From what ive read the US were preparing to roll into Afghanistan several months ago and not purely to eradicate Al-Qaida.
    There is always a lot more to these things than appears in the press -the US is always looking for more raw materials and people to exploit.

    Yeah yeah, we already know this..The oil thing has been in the papers on on TV, its no secret. If this was simply about the oil then why didnt the US go in after the embassy bombings or the USS cole attack? Either one would have been enough justification for a 'war on terrorism'.

    It amuses me no end to hear people talk about the US 'exploiting' the resources of the middle east regions..They pay for every litre of the oil..If theres any exploiting going on its on the part of the arab governments who keep the cash to themselves rather than helping their people.

    Normally Id like to have a more intelligent, thought out response to such garbage: but to anyone who dares to suggest the US deserved the 9/11 attacks because of things our government did in the past on the world stage:
    a huge "fuck you!" to all of you.

    Thanks.

    And a damn good thing too, if it is true. Every day that the West allowed the Taleban to continue to oppress the people of Afghanistan the West put paid to the theory that it had any concern whatsoever for freedom, rights and liberties.

    The simple fact is that the Taleban are an oppresive regime regardless of whether or not they happen to be sheltering a given person (bin Laden). To allow such a regime to stand, when it so clearly violates the principles one claims to stand for, and when it is within one's power to do something about it, is in itself a proof that those 'principles' are not principles at all.

    So it took 5000+ deaths to make the West move. Perhaps the motivation is revenge, and thus suspect. Action against the Taleban is, however, entirely in accordance with the principle of defence of liberty.

    Funny it says that you come from wales, and you dont have a DODGY slang. Well thats a first.

    And you say "my English language", well I am amazed I never knew you invented the english language. I must bow down to your great superior knowledge. Or maybe you have just shown how far up your ass your head is!!!!

    You also mention text meassaging speak, if I do recall correctly I saw you using text messaging speak as well;

    1. "helluva" in this very forum
    2. "wanna" "why is it right to bomb" forum

    So dont slag me and anyone else for using text messaging speak when YOU yourself use it as well. You cant have the best of both worlds you know.

    Keep it byny real!! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif"&gt;

    This is the first time I've read this thread in a while, so i'm not going to join in on any debate, but I saw this line and it made me think.
    Surely a lot of the 'lefties', as they have been branded, have been called things (maybe not morons, but something with a similar jist) by the 'righties'. Not neccersarily by Balddog, I don't know, but by some..... so lets not have double standards here. I know you wouldn't like that <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/wink.gif"&gt;
