I brought it up as a solution. Your post accuses me of having "double standards" and of being "hypocritical" when, in fact, I had posed no standards and had not advanced any solution.
As you're so fond of saying, "If you had read my post..."

You mean a more monumental task than a full invasion and ocupation of an entire nation?
|
No. There are other ways of taking someone out. And if ALL the nations of the world were as committed to eradicating terrorism as they should be, invasions wouldn't be necessary.

Seems to me that your president has chosen the hardest path, using a sledgehammer to kill an ant.

See now, I would agree with that. We should have sent in a small contingent of Special Forces, assassinated Hussein and left a note on his body addressed to his successor: "Y'all be good now, ya' hear? Love, George"
But then, you wouldn't go for that would you? Remember the tirade you threw when we gave Aristide a ride away from the crowds that wanted to kill him? Oh, but wait, he was kidnapped wasn't he? Still, a big difference from being assassinated.

I´d go with full cooperation between police forces, and an international organization in charge of it all, just as we are doing in Europe with an European anti-terrorism secretary. The UN and Interpol could handle the task quite well.

Yea, I'm going to skip over the part about the UN doing anything well and just assume that miracles do happen. What would you do with nations that refuse to cooperate? After all, for these third world dictators who have already bled their citizens dry, the billions that could be made from harboring terrorists would be good money.

Untill now, the US has done the first while contributing to the very existence of the second. Instead of removing the very reason why they fight, you are actually assisting them and giving them further reasons to continue.

Right. Our lascivious movies, our heretical speech, the unconscionable way we don't take control of our women, our misguided love of the Jews who control our every action. Or are you under the impression that all would be right in the world if we would just leave Iraq and Saudi Arabia?
