You obviously KNOW that these terrorist events wouldn't be happening if we weren't fighting terrorism. You know for a fact that the attack on Spain wouldn't have happened, without this war, how? The 9/11 attack came before this war, so how do you explain that, when the war hadn't started yet? You know that we did nothing after the embassy attacks and the U.S.S. Cole attacks and yet we were attacked again. When we did nothing, why, according to your reasoning, did they attack again? Why do you think not fighting back will accomplish anything?



Why do you think the Islamic fundamentalists are attacking virtually anyone? You think it has nothing to do with their religion, and it has everything to do with us?



Why do you think they must force us to change our ways to pacify them? (Instead of them being tolerant of us.)



They are responsible for their own actions, not us! We are not responsible for anyone's actions, but our own.



Mind boggling logic you are using. Compare what you assume, and couldn't possibly know (the future), with what you do know (the present) to prove a point?



And forget about Libya, it would really be nice if they were in the same position they were before this war. This is one thing we can say, with a great deal of certainty, that this war has accomplished.



There are only 2 things we can do to attack these terrorists ideas, like you claim we should.



1)We must all become fundamentalist muslims. Remember, they will even attack other muslims that aren't fundamentalists! Why do you think they are so against education? Could it be that educated people threaten their beliefs?



2)We must not do anything that threatens their beliefs. (like modernization, education, freedom, equal rights for women, etc.) This is not an acceptable solution to me, and war is far, far more desirable than this solution is--in my opinion.



All that evil needs to flourish, is for good men to do nothing.
