I agree with Denisero and Hellstromm. Torture is not humane. I don't care whether it's a good man, for example George Washington, or an evil man, say Adolf Hitler. I would not torture either of them according to the accusations or because of there being evil. They are humans. They have feelings, pains, and they have life. I would not execute either, for taking the life of a man is wrong. I would want them to live the rest of there lives with guilt, unless they are psychopaths and wouldnt care, but still. Torture, execution, any form of that is humanely wrong. I support the life sentance, but not the death sentance.
And to put your accusations Thomas, terrorists don't live in caves. They hide yes, and so far Osama Bin Laden is the World's Hide and Go Seek Champion. But, they do not live in caves, use clubs, or are neanderthals. They are smart people who think that fighting and dieing for there cause will get them to heaven. In the Muslim case, 72 virgins and a river of honey. These people are religiously extreme, and should not be judged by that. I don't judge the Pope cause he preaches about God all the time and leads the Catholic Church. And I do not judge Osama Bin Laden because he fights for Allah and leads terrorists to fight for Allah also. They are humans and should be judged accordingly yes. If I continue on, I think Im going to go on a rant and lose track of where I am and what Im talking about so thats all I have to say for now.
I judge Osama because he attacked MY country. What did we do in response? Start a long and stupid war that pitted our own people against eachother. Now, if we were barbaric, we would have retaliated by destroying one of their highly populated areas to sum it all up, that would mean 3,000 dead civilians, just like our 3,000 dead on 9/11. But we are far more civilized/generous/intellegent than that, so we just focused on the taliban and Al Queda.
I hold a grudge against Osama because he attacked MY soil, he had his soldiers, Martars, Marauders or whatever the hell they are tresspass AND destroy public property on MY soil. America belongs to all of us, he was destroying what is ours. Why? Simple, who would blame him for it 7 years later? Who would care about 3,000 dead people when the economy colapses because of insufficient funds? Who cares? Not many of you, thats for damn sure. Unlike many people, I still remember watching the news, seeing the gaping hole in the tower. "What the hell's going on?" I asked calmly as my parents watched with me. At first it was not that scary, the tower probably wouldn't fall I thought, then there was a second plane, it smashed into the other tower. ************s! I said as the smoke burst out of the tower. I continued watching but soon had to go to school. We watched it in my second grade class, all of us worried or focused. Then the buildings came crashing down.
For 6 years, people supported the war to try and stop that from ever happening again, plenty of people from the own USA came up with conspiracys, one man even said the people in the tower deserved to die, and on year 7, no one seemed to remember. Bushes term ended with him going down worse than ever, thanks to his stimulas which screwed up everything for years to come, and now there is a president who is severely underestimating the problems, and going with the "global warming" crowd instead. We are now leaving many of the countries in the Middle east, improper militias are left to attempt a full defense. Civilians are regretting their hate for the US already, and some have asked for a return of our soldiers before it all hits the fan. Our troops are focused in Afghanistan now, and the US citizens are in dismay. The terrorists didn't even have to do anything, but they decided they would take advantage of America anyways and demolish two national landmarks. Not to mention the attack on the Pentagon which left many people dead and wounded.
Osama attacked innocent people, and killed many of them all in the name of Allah. He attacked the US because they were the weak infidels, and he never did underestimate us, as you can see, many are giving up the good fight, many of us no longer hate the enemy, more of, accepting fate, hoping for the better.
We could have done more to find Osama, but we decided to liberate Iraq. What we got was nothing except a faster death. We could have focused on hostile threats in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but, we liberated Iraq. For nothing. Iraq will soon turn back to the Militia ruled place it once was, only there will be a leader other than Saddam this time and a far stronger army. Just like what happened with Iran, give them an inch, they take a mile.
Regarding torture, I would make sure Osama Bin Ladin dies a slow, painful death. I want him to remember the 3,000 lives that were paid so he can go to his land of milk and honey, and I want him to see the faces of the victims each time he lays eyes on the 72 virgins. I want him to suffer for what he cost us. But, there is no "us" anymore, there is no "we", is there? Only them, they, him, her, she, he, me and I.
What ever happened to "Stand United"?
We should Unite, many of us are better than none of us. We should Stand, sitting gets us stepped on. We should be AMERICANS.
USA, and that's all I have to say.
