filz please report
filz please reportI don\'t think wars have ever been black and white! At least not since we invented \"politics\".
Events like this saddens and angers me, but regretably don\'t surprise me... Not anymore!
EDIT: If I remember correctly, Fizl\'s profile says \"Chennai\" and not \"Bombay\"... so hopefully she wasn\'t there!

It\'s amazing how less grey it seemed back then I guess, considering that Hitler\'s popularity was assisted by his people\'s humiliation at the hands of major western nations (like Al Qaeda and the Iraqi fighters now), and he was lauded by those same nations as an anti-communist bastion before he turned against them (like the Taliban and Al Qaeda, back when they were called \"mujihadeen\").
Anyway, \"The war on Nazis and Hitler\" was actually winnable. Declaring war on a TACTIC (commonly used by the weak facing the strong), and arrogantly parading your strength around, only guarantees you will have an everlasting war as successive generations of your victims strike back the only way they can - in the manner of the weak facing the strong. Don\'t forget folks, everlasting war is everlastingly good for business.
This doesn\'t make terrorists not reprehensible. But \"why do they hate us?\" becomes a much more complicated question when you look at the big picture. I think it\'s \"grey\" now because the people running ALL sides of the conflict are hopelessly morally compromised.
I think much of what you say is true NSA but it still doesnt alleviated responsibility for the people concerned. Murder is Murder and there belief systems condems the very acts that they carry out in the name of thier religion.
I cant stand it when people try to justify these acts (Im not saying you are NSA) what happened is wrong on any level and the peole concerned should be condemmed for what they did
:cussing: :flame: as well

Yes, the trouble is that terrorism is usually a symptom of social trouble and conflicting belief systems.
This makes it virtually impossible to win the \'war\' using force of arms*, you kill one terrorist and suddenly you make his brother, son etc into a terrorist.
No, fighting isn\'t usually the answer to these things, you need to address the core problems.
What amazes me is how many of these terrorist groups are religous, which is odd considering most religions consider killing people to be bad... ???
*the only way to be sure is to kill the terrorist, his family, and everyone he knows...

Quite a whileOriginally posted by supervike
Oh come on! They can\'t keep this going on forever can they...I mean how long do those guys hold a grudge?
People can hold a grudge for ever if you keep refreshing it every few years with new torture, bombings and humiliation.Bingo. and even then, you anger everyone who worries they may be next! Violence only begets more violence, and hate, more hate.
As Ogrebane correctly infers, I don\'t support the terrorists one bit (despite what any colorful radio personalities may have told us about \"liberals\" or \"peaceniks\"). They are making the same mistake that people in the west are making - trusting leaders who do not have The People\'s best interests at heart. Osama and his lieutenants do not care about some suicide bomber Al Qaeda recruits, any more than Bush, Cheney and Rice care about some kid from Iowa who gets sent off to Iraq to get shot at. They all use other human beings as TOOLS, and as Granny Weatherwax said, \"The only real sin is treating people like things\".

Ya, my girlfriend told me about this- she\'s very worried, since she has some cousins in the areas that were attacked. I\'m hoping they\'re alright...
It saddens me to see such things happen, but, I think it is a part of life that comes with the advancement of human technology. Granted, terrorism has always been a part of history, but such acts have changed greatly in the last 50 years (at least to my perception it has, I may be wrong though). Part of freedom is the freedom to more extremist thoughts, and there\'s little to do about that. All part of the balance, I suppose.
