In regards to... [formal terrorism discussion]
Attempting, one topic separate from, one previous. To a formal, and once again I will stress formal, forum discussion. Negotiation with terrorists? Plausible? Why or why not? Also credibility will be a determinant to your posts, so if you have any sources, please attempt to cite them in your post.

As far as your second comment, is non-negotiation logical practice, or a root of ignorance? I can far understand our policy on non-negotiations, but do you believe in certain situations it can be more advisable and safer to the American public than our current policy? Quote:

Opening a "negotiations tactic" strategy with terrorists always ends up in them never being satisfied and wanting more. Others learn you're willing to deal and take advantage of the situation, pretty soon they're everywhere demanding everything. Americans would begin to get taken all over the world (more then they are now) and the flood of demands would be astronomical.

Bans solve problems.
I agree fully with the "If you give a mouse a cookie, he'll want a glass of milk" ideology, as it's basic human nature. People die all over the world, and yes, it's tragic when people die as a result of non-negotiation. But that's how the world works and how countries survive. It fucking sucks, and I'm moving to Canada with my boyfriend.

Wow a lot of yall believe too much of what the media reports. We funded Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qadea in the 80's. Also we (Americans) are just as much as terrorists as any other terrorist organization. I didn't read any of the other posts so if someone already said what I said, good for them for not being a blind piece of shit like the other people who have too much pride for this currently POS country of America. Soooo...

I know a decent amount about them, I'm sure that link has more though. My problem is a little different. I understand that as human beings we're all capable of many surprising, and appalling things. Terrorism in itself isn't what bugs me. If I found myself in a simaler situation where the life of my people and the safety of my race depended on suicide bombings I can't say I'd be as apposed top them as I am now. However, I would have a point, a message a truity that would exist. Osama may have had a point long ago, but anything left of that no longer remains. There gets to be a time were it's no longer righteous brave or bold. Eventually, instead of a freedom fighter fighting against the people who tried to use you, you're just sick bastard who wants to watch the world burn. |

Well from the reading I did (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliban...s_application), I grasped that what controls roughly 50% of Afghanistan is an extremist form of what is written in the Qur'an, and that Afghanistan's economy is completely decimated because of the previous Taliban government occupation. Also that the only Government that recognizes them as a ruling power is Pakistan |

We funded the Mujahadeen in the 80's to fight the Soviets take-over of Afghanistan. Nice try attempting to leave that out though.

Why did you just Fail Epically, you ask? Because you left out the changes in administration and power, along with what Backstaber said. Don't bitch about the country, vote for a better leader, and THEN bitch about the country. Got it? Now go destroy some property and cry about racial and age profiling when the poh-leese catch you.

How did the US support Bin Laden? I have always heard this but never actually looked into, I could, but maybe one of you guys could fill me in.
