You are 14.
Whoa! That was perhaps the harshest come back imaginable. Especially toward somebody who proclaims their youth with every post. Humerously Gomer, you use it as an insult and you claim to be much older than that, yet your arguaments and your posts, while not over puncuated and full of caps, have yet to make you seem older than that. You should at least directly address others comments. Instead you just say there must have been a morally higher action to take than the one taken. I must say, I am very happy you have nothing to do with ruling the country. WESHALLPRESERVE is getting a little extreme posting real pictures of real disembodied heads, but I understand the point he is trying to make. You do understand that some of these people whose bodies are now short one head were not all militants? There have been reporters and missionaries and plenty of others. And that is only to mention the American ones, they do this to their own plenty. Does that not make you feel uneasy? You know if they could get their hands on you, they would love to saw your head off, film it and broadcast it to the world. They don't give a damn how soft hearted your are towards them. I can't say war is any beautiful or glorious thing, it is awful. It is more awful than you know. But sometimes there are no alternatives. These people will stop at nothing to achieve their means. NO, not al Muslims are bad, but I laugh at how the popular thing to do is to bash Christians and defent Muslims. I have studied their religion, and to say it is a religion of peace is laughable. The religion of Islam by its very nature is a huge threat to anybody who is not part of it. I have Islamic friends, good friends, but and this is not something I can talk about with them because it is a sore subject, but the truth is that they have rarely ever even opened their Qu'rans. It isn't even so much about what is written, though you certianly don't find much evidence for a peacful religion if you bother to read the thing. The biggest problem is the conditioning these people go through. The things they are taught. They are taught to hate. And that is the biggest problem. Not the religion so much, but people being conditioned to hate. What do you do with that? How do you teach somebody not to hate you, when they have practically been fed this hatred since infancy? There is no real great solution to the problem. Definately not a non violent one. I know you are questioning why we are there in the first place. Well, Saddam could have prevented this whole thing, but he would not give in. In the amount of time he was given he had plenty of places to hid a good amount of weapons. If he didn't have any why not give in right away? No, this is not a black and white subject. Don't ever mistake it for one. This is a VERY complicated mess. Thank God it is not your mess to deal with Gomer. In war usually nobody wins, in this case I think the Iraqi people win. Even if not all of this generation feels that way, the next one might.
