Do you think Saddam Hussein had the same right to use WMD to save
the
lives of Iraqi servicemen while fighting Iran and internal
rebellion?
Did Al-Qaeda have the same right to deliberately target civilians
in
their
war with the USA, specifically WTC?
If Saddam hadn't invaded Iran there would not have been a need to
defend
"Iraqi
servicemen."
Complaints about his use of WMD relate to uses considerably pre-dating
his invasion of Kuwait.
As for the attacks on the WTC there was no military value there. An
argument
could be made for the strike on the Pentagon being a military
attack.
Nagasaki and Hiroshima each had valid military targets within the
cities.
The odds are that there were Reservists in the WTC at the time of the
attack.
The poster I was replying to advocated using "ANY MEANS" to end the
war.
He also wrote "If that means incinerating two, three, or however many
Japanese Cities
by the bombs carried by the 509th's B-29s, so be it." He made no
mention
of
destroying military assets. His choice of words clearly states that
the
destruction of
cities was what would produce a Japanese surrender, not destruction of
military
assets.
Destruction of Japan, by whatever means possible, was warranted.
That's what AQ thinks of the USA
And it is clear that you think that they are right. They are not, and we
will
hunt them down.
An irrational conclusion from what I wrote, but what I expect from you.
The
barbarity of their military was an abomination, and it was continuing
daily
That's what AQ thinks of the USA.
Once again, you think that they are right.
And once again an irrational conclusion.
You are either massively
mis-informed or you simply hate the US.
Actually I'm just stating or summarising what is in the public
domain regarding statements by AQ.
In either case, welcome to my
kill file.
Tell someone who cares.
A very mature response to hearing bad news - shoot the messenger.
