Is the war on terrisism just?

Question

on 9/11 terrist attacked twin towers and pentagon, the terrist group was call Al Quada, which was trained by our Special Forces and the leader that massed minded the attach was Osama Bin Laden which was a buisness partner of the Bush's oil company. the terrist that hijacked the plains were trained how to fly a plan by an x Special Forces troop. and almost five years we still havent found Osama, Why? and In Iraq why is it that all three times we were there the main objective was and is to protect the oil pumps? Before 9/11 the states was not united not very many people care about the soldiers and the people of our nation, and afte 9/11 stocks in American flags and yellow ribbons sky rocketed. Is it possible that our government is behind 9/11 to unite the people and gain trust in what our Pres. say and do? Is it possible that Bush came into office with the intent to go to war with all countries ran by the military. "these are my sole thought and i am in no way trying to persuave any one"

Answer 1

Many people have many opinions on this topic so i guess it wouldnt hurt if I threw in mine. Is the war on terrorism's goals/ideals just? From my standpoint yes. This terrorism is the last thing that the world needs and it must be dealt with now. No amount of justification whether it be for the Palestinians, for the miserable tragedies of Islamic-Christian relations, purity of Islam or even for the supposed evil of American democracy and free-market economy is worth deliberately killing innocents whether they be Western or Muslim. If only the terrorists were civilized then we could avoid military action altogether and patch things up. But wake up people...these guys have not nor will they ever be civilized, so we must find them and kill them for what they are (animals). Has the current conduct of the war been just? well this is were my thoughts split...the war was partially successful in Afghanistan when they sent Al-Qaida and the wretched Taliban into hiding, but then it exploded into this ill-defined "Axis of Evil" bullcrap which resulted in a morally questionable and incompetently executed yet-successful invasion of Iraq which in turn metamorphosised into an even more bungling attempt at nation-building while allowing Iran and North Korea to develop weapons of mass destruction for insane ends (destruction of Israel by one, international blackmail by the other). To make matters worse it seemed that now some of the USA's troops and citizens are losing the ideals of the war and have begun to employ methods that are only done by terrorists themselves (the torture/rape/murder scandals). The War is losing its focus...and unless it regains that focus then this war is doomed to fail. As to whether Bush himself or his cohorts engineered this mess my friend then you are giving his intelligence the rating of an einstein when it is actually less than it really is.

Answer 2

The answer is it doesn't matter. There is no good or evil in war, winner or loser, there is no just or unjust. There is dead and there is alive. We fight to survive, thats it.

The most economical thing to do would have been to simply level the entire Tora Bora region into the ground and erradicate all of Al-qaeda in one fell swoop. Osama Bin Laden would be dust in the wind and Al-qaeda wouldn't exist. The surviving members would be easily captured and located after their entired leadership had been brutally slaughtered. Torture them for information and then find their comrades. Burn the remains and throw the trash where it belongs: to hell.

Answer 3

Whoa, Check into a hospital, is the war on Terrorism just, yes, well unless you are one of them trying to set the seed that the war is evil and you are on Bushes pay role trying to convince the American people that Bush is Evil in an effort to get oil revenues to convince people to contribute to an evil war that kills only innocent people, to kill Innocent people is not evil it is actually good! Wow is that how terrorist think! That kinda hurt, I think you need to get a life!!!!

Answer 4

So you're suggesting that the U.S. should have allowed Sadam to massacure people in his country and the Taliban to persecute citizens? Maybe we should eliminate all security in airports while we're at it too. Oh, yeah, and instead of protecting the oil fields, we should leave the Iraqi army to light them on fire.

Answer 5

I think GWB would have found his way into Iraq, regardless of whether or not 9/11 ever happened. I think he is a war monger, point blank.
