And criminals wouldn't be criminals if we didn't try to catch and punish them.
Seriously, you were kidding, right? I haven't seen this statement, or this level of stupidity, since the Yahoo message boards closed down. Of course, I don't frequent KOS or DU, but I'm sure you could find a similar statement over there.
Example from Yahoo, a real keeper:
"Yes, we should just continue to 'take it' when terrorists attack, eventually they'll see we mean them no harm and stop attacking."
You know when I was in Belgrade, two months ago, I seriously understood their feelings of anger towards Bill Clinton who bombed their cities in the NAME of America! I was in Jordan, felt their impact of 250,000 refugees from Lebanon, and another 250,000 refugees of Iraq, plus their refugees taken in from Israel. Americans with their quick fix military solutions HAVE to realize that sometimes people need to be heard, and their grievances taken into consideration. So, thanks PAL, about your flippant remarks about YAHOO message boards, but the REAL world is simmering, and families that divorce who resort to armed conflict will eventually loose. So, yeah, paint me in the Ron Paul camp that Americans world wide have lost respect from the common ordinary citizens of the world who looked upon Americans as compassionate citizens who desired peace, stability and democracy for all people.
