Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

I don't think there is anyone here who is pro terrorist as you imply. I think many people just don't agree with how this is being done. I posted a note the other day on the UN and the ICC. Personally I think we should be going more in that direction. More international cooperation not less.

I'm not implying anyone here is pro-terrorist. I think if given the option, everyone I've talked to and debated with would love to erradicate the world of terrorists. The problem though is the threat level. I feel the threat level is severe enough that we need to take pre-emptive action. After 9/11, and after all the reports of dirty bombs and/or briefcase nukes, etc., I think something must be done immediately. I don't see the terrorists going away, so we either fight them now with their limited capability, or we fight them later when they have extremely powerful weapons and complete disregard for even their own lives.

A case in point is your suggestion that we didn't have to fight this war on Iraq. Sure, we could've fought it 5 or 10 years from now, after giving the weapons inspectors an even longer time to fight with Saddam's regime on access to sites. It's real simple, why put off until tomorrow what you can take care of today. No doubt Saddam was a threat to the region and to their stability, and I'm glad he's gone and it makes the prospects of the future of the Middle East much brighter with the potential for democracy.
