Who said that the only way to deal with terrorists is complete and unending violence? Do you know what causes people to rise up and bear arms as a terrorist? WE ARE ONE SUCH CAUSE. Did you know that Iraq just had to pay KFC, Pepsi, and Toys 'r Us refferations for the Kuwait war? Why did they have to pay this? Because these companies claimed that the attack on Kuwait hurt their buisness in some way. The money that should go into schools and hospitals (that we bombed claimeng they were terrorist stongholds and training camps). Is a more pacifist atitude so very bad? I'll let you in on a little secret (that I got from my best friend who used to live in Iraq, he moved to Turkey before 9/11, but still visits home every few months): they don't hate american citizens! What? I'll say it again. Almost none of them hate American citizens. They hate that our missles blew up their cousins. They hate that Bush is playing people like a flute. The reason that we get to see some of them on TV burning an American flag is that they have lost innocent loved ones by our hands.
Why did you think they hated us? Religion? This is a quote from Donald Rumsfeld: "Islam is where God tells you to send your son to die. Christianity is where God sends his son to die for you." Hmmm, what do you suppose he meant by that?
The reality is that our lack of pacifism is what makes people hate us. The reality is that this thread seems a lot like trolling.
