"No, it was a bit more, Jim. It was an act of justice."
No Don, justice would have been having him captured, tried and sentenced - as was Saddam Hussain - and as is being pointed out over here - Adolph Eichmann.
I am not sypathetic to Muslim - or any religious fanatics; I am concerned that the US quest for oil has left the world on a knife-edge, and ham-fisted assassinations play right into their hands.
Nor am I anti-American; I know enough Americans who share my view on what has happened, recently and in the past. You have had a number of shit governments doing enough shit things to have dragged the name of your country into the - well - shit.
"I think I have good reason to believe that they are products of your imagination."
Then produce your reasons.
You haven't been following what is happening here - arguments about neutrality in the Dail, demonstrations lasting years, planes damaged in protest - read it up; it's all well documented.
It's dead easy for you to hide behind the "anti - American" defence and pretend that waterboarding is a new form of bathing, or napalm was just a harmless defolient, or Linndy England was really a religious instructor - America's record on human rights is crap, and until the man-in-the-street does something about it, it will stay that way -
Even some of your own politicians have come clean about your use of torture - have they got reason to make it up - Dick Cheyney calling for the continued use of torture - even Gun-Totin' Sarah commended Dubya for giving the nod to allowing torture to be used to trace the wherebouts of bin Laden - or has she got they own agendas.
Take your head out of your arse Don - it's all happening.
"evil triumphs when good people look the other way."
"I think he could say goodbye to any idea of a second term"
We wre assures a few postings go that the assassination has confirmed his second term.
"30 000 Pakistani civilians and 5000 of their miltary killed already."
By terrorists - are you saying that it's ok to do it if they do it?
You've already said that it was ok because only twenty civilians would be killed by a bomb - make yourself clear Keith - for or against killing by pragmatism?
