There are reports that the Taliban provided American emissaries with opportunities to take bin Laden, which the U.S. failed to do because it was culturally blind to the signals being given.

No one is forcing the Afghans and the Pakistanis to adopt the Taliban’s deplorable practices; the people of those two nations are making the choice to do so.

America feels it has to destroy “Islamo-fascism,” and the Taliban was the only radical Islamic fundamentalist group that Washington knew about. U.S. leadership was seriously unaware of the difficulties of invading other countries to stamp out objectionable forms of native religion.

Why does the U.S. insist on forcing its views on other cultures? We have no business interfering in foreign nations religion, politics, or civil traditions.

Hasn't it been proven enough that peace is better than war?

Bravo!

Im sorry but I think war is grand , but not our armys getting killed. More people would be out of jobs because there are people working on and making weapons , plus i dont think there ever will be any peace on this earth as long as there are , gangs,guns,any other weapons ,drugs,and people.
I think I make a point when I say this.

So, awesomeaustin, let me get this straight, you think war is good as long as we make a profit on it? Am I right?

This is the point I think you are making. Prove me otherwise, please.
