They enlisted for a reason. They fought for that reason. Simple as that. It's indeed sad that they paid the ultimate price, but they felt it necessary to go about protecting the country as they saw fit. While the families doesn't apply as much, as some disliked the idea of their loved ones fighting in a war, some accepted that possibility. | ||||||||||||

I'm an American. I see 9'11 as trivial. I've had family tour in Iraq. I've lost a family friend directly in 9/11. I find the invasion to be one of the stupidest things that has happened in my lifetime. I find most Americans idiotic for jumping on the America Fuck Yeah wagon. Jedi in everything that I have not stated I agree with you. I know you aren't going to respond just thought you should know. It's my belief if your response to getting punched in the face is to lie on the guys family and kill them based on the lie than you're a fucked up person, and America pretty much did that.

You see this is why we can't have nice things. Learn to tolerate each others opinions without getting hostile. |

Just...stop Debating whether the war is worth it or not is just going to offend/annoy people. Doesn't matter if you're american or not american; if you're not paying respect then this probably isn't the thread for you. |

I cleared out my previous posts, I'm sorry to Dark/ Icy/others for totally turning this thread into a pointless debate, just some things that were said made me really mad. Anyways, this is a place for fun with friends so I don't need to bring this stuff here. I hope we can look past this lapse of my judgement, it doesn't really affect me what anyone thinks of anything, so I didn't need to blow it up into a huge issue | ||||||||||||

Yes it's understandable to get mad, no ones perfect however when on the forum try to restrain yourself. | ||||||||||||

In my opinion, a spam forum shouldn't be an excuse for rude and offensive behaviour towards other members. It's still part of the site and while rules are nuanced in a spam section, proper interaction with other members should not be discouraged because it's a place to spam. I'm rather surprised how people took a joke-topic and made it into something so serious. |

It is naive of you all to think of this as a war spawned by a random act of violence. 9/11 was not a random act of violence, it was the culmination of a war that has been raging for countless years. Osama Bin Laden and Al Queda did not just appear out of nowhere and send planes to fly into the world trade center. They have been waging war against christians, Jews, other muslims and free nations in general since their inception. For years, ever since the end of the Cold War when they were fighting the Soviets who invaded Afghanistan, Al Queda and other terrorist organizations have been conducting deadly attacks on many different people. Bombing embassies, hijacking airplanes full of passengers, bombing public places like the World Trade Center in '93, or the London underground bombings of 2005. This battle has been raging for our entire lives, and longer. Even before all of this, before the Cold War, the Jewish and Islamic populations have been fighting each other and committing acts of atrocity against each other trying to lay claim to areas that they all view as holy lands. The problem with all of this is religious intolerance. Thats where it starts. All religions are guilty of it at one point in history or another. But there are those out there, namely the middle eastern terrorist organizations, who take it to extremes. They believe, with all their might, just as easily as I believe in the bible or a jewish believer would believe in the Torah, that all those who do not believe as they do must die. Its not an action of ours that they won't tolerate, it is our very existence. Megaflamer, you can talk of peace all you like, and speak out against acts of violence in response to acts of violence, and on many levels you are right, and I admire you for your belief in this... But these people will not tolerate the very breath you take and will not stop until you and everyone like you never again take another breath, and if they have to give their lives in pursuit of this goal, then they will consider their lives to have been well-spent and will go into death looking forward to heaven afterwards, believing that what they had done was right. Religious intolerance around the world is something that absolutely must be fought against. But these people especially must be stopped. And I am not speaking against muslims as a whole, merely a select group of extremists. Those people who worship in the peaceful muslim sects are in just as much danger as the rest of us christians and jews. These extremists hate these peaceful muslims as much as the rest of us because they view them as people of the true faith who have turned their backs on the teachings. We attacked Iraq and Afghanistan to try and weaken as much as we could this underground network of terror. And we succeeded. Osama Bin Laden is dead, which is a feat in and of itself. But also, in the raid that ended with his death, massive amounts of intelligence was recovered from his facility which will aid us in the future. That one mission gave American and UN forces more, and more valuable, information than had ever been recovered before. Another goal of the invasion was to bring down the totalitarian dictator Saddam Husein and the violent ruling sect, the Taliban. Yes, many thousands of people, soldiers and innocents, died as a result of the war. but how many thousands died of persecution under the taliban? How many thousands died under Saddam's military persecution or his testing of poison gasses and other tools of war on his own people? All peaceful attempts to stop these atrocities had failed, so how else could these atrocities have been stopped? Still, yes, you could say that had America and the UN done nothing some of these people would still be alive. But then what? You think that Al Queda and Ossama Bin Laden and Saddam Husein, and the Taliban would have been satisfied and just sat back and let things be? No. Terrorist attacks would continue coming in a never-ending onslaught, likely getting bolder and bolder, and more deadly after the success of 9/11. Saddam and the Taliban would continue their persecution, and everything would continue going on as it had. And how long would it have taken with these event for death tolls to reach the same as what they are in the war? How long till they surpassed? Most of the American government, and indeed the UN in general, function under the "Lesser of two evils" mentality. Even doing nothing is an action that will have results. For any action that is taken, there will always be people who are against it. But a truly intelligent people will try and look at a situation from both sides, and maybe come to understand the reasoning behind actions taken, even if they disagree with them. |
