I just deleted a long post, because as I typed I realized, "A Freind" is not really concerned about the actions of America. His post clearly states that this is all a scam so that Bush can take power with the CIA. Bin Laden is nothing more than someon that is unhappy with a former employer, we are making war with the innocent people of Afghanistan, and that the attacks were all our fault. I love how you hide behind peace to attack the president. You use peace as your shield as you 'claim' a vast conspiracy. Your political views are flawed guest, your view of reality horrificly blurred, your conclusions drawn on bias and distorted ideas.

You state how even those that lost loved ones in the attacks do not want to see innocent people hurt. And that is true. I don't wish to either. But your conclusion is that we are doing nothing but killing innocent people. You take a quote that bombs will not get rid of Bin Laden, and make the assumption that it is all a scam against an innocent group of people. I did listen to that press conference. Perhaps you should have listened to the whole thing, rathter than pick and choose. what was said (paraphrasing) was that bombs would not take out Bin Laden, it was one phase of many. The Al Queda is well trained in how to evade overt military attack. This is a way to cripple what we can, to limit thier movement and cut supplies.

Your arguement is that because you did not listen to the full interview, that all actions are a great conspiracy. You have taken one line, and turned it into your own paranoid belief that all this action is for nothing. Over 6000 dead, the Al Queda calling it a "Good Thing", the Taliban refusing to turn over Bin Laden even though other governments (not just the US) have seen and confirmed the evidence. That is why these events have unfolded. Peace would be great, but don't hide behind it, so you can spew out half truths that lead to outrageous conclusions. It is disrespectful of those that have died, and those that will die as a result of this war.
