We are losing friends by the millions with these rash actions in the Afghanistan.

Please explain to me what actions that we are taking in Afghanistan are rash and why.

We are in Afghanistan because that is where the people that masterminded the murder of 6000+ innocent American civilians are hiding there, and the thuggocracy that runs the place refuses to turn them over to us.

Let me repeat that, because although you went to Berkely, you obviously were in the slow learners class: Al-Qaeda murdered 6000+ innocent American civilians, on American soil. They are hiding in Afghanistan. They have vowed to continue murdering American civilians, and the ruling Taliban will neither kick them out nor turn them over to us.

Since it is unacceptable to allow foreigners to kill thousands of American civilians, and since those sheltering the murderers are a government, military action is indicated. Military action, for Berkely graduates in the slow learners class, means that you have to hurt people and break things. The goal is to hurt enough of the right people and to break enough of the things controlled by those people so that they (a) are incapable of stopping us from seizing those responsible for the murder of 6000+ innocent American civilians, and (b) prevent those responsible for murdering 6000+ innocent American civilians from killing any more American civilians.

Taking military action to eliminat the threat against the lives of innocent American civilians -- in the United States -- is not rash. Rather, in these circumstances rash actions include the following:

  1. Giving peace a "chance."

  2. Holding senstivity seminars

  3. Attempting to "understand" the motivation of these killers.

  4. Relying on international organizations to peacefully arrest the murderers.

  5. Making allowances based on religion or culture to excuse the murder of 6000+ innocent American civilians.

Those would be rash actions in view of Al Qaeda's pledge to continue killing innocent American civilians in America.

So please, explain to me -- and use simple words, so as to make plain, even to yourself, of the idiocy of your arguments -- what actions that the United States is taking in Afghanistan are rash.

It looks like they really want to fight. It appears that they are trying to justify the fight. I see no mention of the attack by the Moslems. Certainly they are PROUD of the terror activity. But they need to be ashamed.
