War on Terror

Mr. Liberal · 07-24-2006, 04:35 AM

It was a toughy but I decided to pick the US and allies

I decided not to answer - I am not into loaded questions.

Bombing Lebanon is not a war against Hezbolloh. The war on terror is only an excuse. Bombing Iraq is even less part of the war against Al Qaida, and has been admitted NOT to be the true reason by Bush at last.

I would like to see the entire WORLD of nations defeat terrorism. I am completely against ANY country unillaterally attacking innocent civilians of another nation using terrorists as an excuse.

So the suicide bombers in Israel for the past year have just been a figment of my imagination? And if not, where did they come from?

Mr. Liberal, they came from many nations. That is the thing about terrorists. They don't care much where they hide. The majority came out of Palistine though.

Also, I mentioned nothing of the current war in Israel/Lebanon.

I simply asked who would you like to see the war on terror? The US or the terrorists?

Its like asking who you wanted to win WW2. A simple question, should be a simple answer.

Mr. Liberal, that is why I call it a loaded question. If you HAD said the US and its allies, I might have chosen that. But you named Isreal and Hezbolloh, which tells me how it is laoded. You are trying to prove a point regarding the current aggression.

Mr. Liberal · 07-24-2006, 06:14 AM

Actually no.

The US is allies with Israel in the war on terror, if you haven't noticed.

Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and an enemy of the US and Israel.

And what the hell is this? You MIGHT have chosen that one? Is the oposite really an option you can chose? Lets see.....people that destroyed the WTC and Pentagon or the United States? Damn...I don't know.

Herein lies the load in th loaded question - I fully support the true war against terror. The problem is the other war being CALLED a war on terror is something I do not support.

Mr. Liberal · 07-24-2006, 06:19 AM

Explain it to me then. What are Israel's motives? Why would they want to crumble Lebanon for no reason? You think Hezbollah plays no part in their reasoning for attacking southern Lebanon which is mostly Hezbollah controlled? And Beirut where their supplies come in and headquarters are? No reason?

davideyoung · 07-24-2006, 06:22 AM

I could guess at lots of reasons, not the least of which is that Isreal has been wanting to beat back the countries surrounding it for some time, since they have all made clear that they appose its very existance. There is room for lots of motives there.
