Unless their "night watchman" has been feeding them a total line of crap and has controlled them by force. In which case, our retaliation is only justifiable were we to take out the night watchman and his hired hands.
Taking out revenge on civilians who are not involved in any way, is simply wrong just as killing innocent Americans was wrong yesterday. (And will be tomorrow and the next day).
There are a few of us who know what heinous acts have been committed by our government and its NATO allies.
Those who we teach the truth (as the media simply will not do) sometimes react in a positive way to the truth, and others, like the warmongers we see here, simply refuse to accept the truth.
Jesus said "I will spew you out of my mouth" speaking of moderate fence sitters. I am betting you have a far better take on that message than I. But in some ways, I feel that prophecy is coming to fruition in a general sense if not a specific one.
Karma or the price for our sins, we are being warned. We had better listen.
Agreed. The preferred retaliation option at this moment should be the annihilation of the State and quasi-State elements actually responsible for this atrocity. Civilian casualties should not be sought; they will just be inevitable. I only observe that, in a "perfect" world, the Afghans could satisfy Justice by surrendering those responsible (or making every effort to do so).
That probably won't happen, of course, so it will get messy. That's unavoidable.
But this mess is not of the "America First / Peace and Republic" crowd's making, it is largely the legacy of the empire-builders (of both major Parties). This is their bastard; they should proudly own up to their paternity.
They won't, of course.
I don't like flame wars, and pissed off is the only thing I can be when I read your posts.
All I will do is repeat what I said earlier.
I thank GOD France was not Libertarian back in 1776.
C'ya on the drug threads. BYE
