Would you care to expound on this statement a little?

A timely example would be the satisfaction most of us on FR feel at this time with what we are doing to the Taliban and alKhaeda. For an example on the other side, I refer to Osama's recent performance on tape.

Agree away. And please don't let any facts, outside the ones that are so neatly packaged and presented to you daily, to the exclusion of other equally valid facts that are deliberately gagged in the American press, deter you from your conclusions. Those conclusions are not uniquely yours and many people share them. This is your right.

But understand, there are still people out here (more than you'd like to admit) who understand that this country is supposed to be guided by 'The Rule of Law', not by blind hatred/blind alliegence for or against any 'group' of people (unless lawfully indicted and convicted).

And so, in our latest rush to judgement, Congress's role to lawfully declare war has been usurped by Presidential Decree, the Justice system's role to adjudicate guilt has been usurped by Presidential decree. And while that may be quite all right in the eyes of those with an 'agenda' that supercedes American sovereignty, it simply ain't all right with people who place American law and justice FIRST in the scheme of nations and people.

Please don't get the idea that I support AlQaeda, the Taleban OR OBL in any way, as I do not. Nor do I support the heinous behaviour of our 'allies', the northern alliance, whose admitted robberies, rapes, and other horrific acts against surviving afghans, is reprehensible. I look at Slobodon, suffering the humiliation of the Hague and wonder if that possibility lurks somewhere in America's future. (Also consider the similar charges against your other hero: Sharon)

I am sad that the reaction to the pain and anguish suffered by Americans on 911, was blind, blood revenge against the innocent people of the poorest nation on earth, who had absolutely no control over AlQaeda or OBL and who had no means to defend OR protect themselves and their families from our massive air attacks.

I don't claim to know God's plan as do some here, so all I can say is: ~~~~~Your 'evil ones', OBL and Omar have likely escaped ... just like Saddam ... just like Qadaffi. And more. But I have to say: I just hate 'co-incidences' like that because sooner or later they stop looking like coincidences.

On a personal note LCS, tell me: do Afghans not bleed real blood? Do they not grieve for their lost and maimed children? Do they not suffer from hunger and cold? Is it they who have no heart? And if you believe they do not, is that because they are Muslim, Israel's ancient blood enemy?
