all that from a t-shirt hmm?
I have to agree with some of what you said. I do believe in "reasonable" force, something which wasn't always evident in the campiagn - this is Afghanistan we're talking about. Blitzing them isn't really necessary. Also, what could we possibly achieve from an attack on such a place, on terroists mostly underground and in hiding?

I certainly agree with the T-Shirt thing. War is a necessary thing - but not a thing that should ever be celebrated... and claiming such a victory (though a necessary victory) as a brilliant one, is akin to me being celebrated for punching a five year-old girl in the face...

But I certainly disagree on others. There is good and evil in this battle... ok maybe some of the actions are unsavory by the alledged "good" side - But what the other side did was fly two aircraft, with innocent people inside, into two buildings full of thousands upon thousands of innocent civillians. People that these terroists had never even met, were killed for an example... That defines evil better than anything i've ever seen.

Perhaps those in charge are aiming slightly broader than the target of "war on terrorism" - but don't loose sight of the fact that this is evil we're combatting, and that the side of "good" hasn't gone as far as intentionally attacking civillians - the targets have been Terrorists... There are of course those that buy into the "fight against evil" that are really there for a piece of the pie - The trouble in the middle east, as israel needlessly seem to try to appease America is a good example, the Indians growling at the Pakistanis is another.

I wish we could live in a world of peace, but we seem naturally disposed to fighting - in this world, "evil" will always fight whether "good" decides to fight also or to try to go on regardless... if in some way, fighting will delay the attacks of "evil"... then it is sadly the only way (unless we make all governments elect females as leaders )
