Which raises the question..
People will have to decide if they want to continue to help evil or start cooperating to achieve peace and justice.
People are not created equal, at least in mindset.
Which raises the question who do you want to "cooperate" with.
Do you want to help people who stone women for speaking?
If we respect their decision to ask bin Laden to leave then they will work with us.
That's BS.
Ok, ok, ok, Binnie did all sorts of bad things and organized plots to kill thousands, and we helped, but tell ya what, we'll tell him to leave, and not come back, Deal?
That's not cooperating. That's saying "screw you and the horse you rode in on".
The Taliban promised that he would behave. They assured that he was not working on terrorists acts.
They're culpable and responsible.
How much do you want to work with them?
Meanwhile, their "demands" were that if we give THEM money, and STOP giving money to those heretical moderates (Who apparently don't stone women, but still don't think much of them).
So. They want our "international aid" - in other words, give us money. And we'll kick him out. Maybe. When he wants to go.
Nah, that's utter horseshit. If they want to go to war, well, they're about to find out the only way you can about the Truth of God's Existance.
Terrorism must be dismantled bit by bit until we gets to the roots and causes. This takes wisdom, not bombs.
How does it take wisdom? The problem with "terrorists" is that *any* cause can start with such an act. Anti-abortionists. Anti-government. Anti-Roses-in-the-town-park.
Wisdom doesn't (always) deal with disgruntled people. It doesn't deal with criminials or the insane.
Sometimes, you have to have a response, and show you're willing to have, and use such a response.
But if you want to live what you're saying, go over - and be sure to take your daughters (if you have them), if not, find some female family members for the grand trek, and let us know how the 1600s feels like.
