Why don't we just systematically take out all the Terrorist Countries now? Why wait?

Question

?

Answer 1

I am tired of it all and I'm all in baby. I wish W would get out the big guns and go for it. Big time.

Enough minimalist warfare and combat. Time to revert back to Nakasaki and Hiroshima. Dust of the outside and warm up the enriched plutonium.

Answer 2

I am sure you are just joking, but I'll provide a real answer anyways. Although America is the most powerful country in the world, we are still subject to disapproval from other countries. Also, many countries that you may consider terrorist countries, or countries that are run by dictators and are dangerous to world peace are, in fact, trading partners of the United States. For instance, an attack on Iran would cripple international markets almost overnight. Also, what do you mean by "take out". If you mean attack and then occupy, I think you could watch CNN and figure out why this is a bad idea. If you just mean attack, many people believe that attacking a terrorist harboring or supporting country only serves to increase support among the country's population. An example of this is the current situation in Lebanon. Many think that this situation is actually going to make the terrorist situation worse for Israel because of the increasing legitimacy of Hezbollah among the Lebanese population.

Answer 3

"Systematically take out all the 'Terrorist Countries'"...

lol

Unbelievable...

That's suicide on our part...what do you think America has been? You think that you're Native?

I love my country (out of default), but we don't have the most honest system of democracy...

If I am to continue my sarcasm...are you proposing that we follow our truly successful blueprints that we developed in Afghanistan and Iraq? I am unsure about the validity of questions such as this one, because it simply doesn't possess the influence of one God-given brain cell.

In case you didn't know, EVERY COUNTRY has a cell of "Terrorists" that incite reaction through threatening order. In our country, we call it "CIA"... The CIA has people that we call "SPIES" that go to other countries and incite certain reactions via operations that are specifically ordered to cause this reaction.

Think about it: did "Osama Bin Laden" fly the plane into the towers, or did his followers? This is all the same system.

Never will I succumb to a statement that the U.S. Army (of which, I am a proud veteran) is synonymous with a collection of terrorist followers; what I will say, however, is that "WE" are NEVER considered "THE ENEMY" to ourselves... I can guarantee you though, that WE are ALWAYS considered "THE TERRORIST" by those outside of ourselves.

It's really a funny game of word-play to me.

In the end though, yeah, taking out "Terrorist Countries" would entail wiping out the whole [recognized] world and starting over.

So if you're still wondering...that's why we "wait"...

Hope that helps!

Answer 4

In a perfect world.....but how would you propose properly identifying each terrorist country. Some people say that Saudi Arabia is a terrorist country. Is it? No doubt some elements exist and work there but destroy the entire country? Who would be the judge and jury? Please, don't advocate the UN. I would put them on my list of potential terrorist organizations or at least a supporter of those countries. And what if we "take out" a country and later find out we were wrong? Oops just doesn't sound adequate.

Answer 5

OK, let's look at your premise. Say they assign each block of a city to different citizens (like you). You go door-to-door. Ring the bell, when they answer the door, you ask if they are a terrorist. They say yes, you shoot them. After you finish the block, you hear children playing in the backyard. Do you shoot them?

And what about the babys?

How do you think you can kill all of any species?

We had that happen recently, it was called Nazi Germany. The most offensive part of the last century.

We lost the war on drugs, the war on terror, the war on poverty and looks like we will loose the war on terror. You can't eradicate anything in a world with 6 billion people.

Answer 6

I know what you're saying bro, but the problem arises by whose definition do you use for terrorists? There are terrorists in the US, and places like Ireland. Do we take military action? I think we should concentrate on those nations that their governments endorse or in some way support terrorism.

Answer 7

Terrorist are only a small % of the people in any countery.
to just take them all out is something Hitler would come up with.

Answer 8

america could be considered the terrorists if you look at it from the other countries point of view.

lets review:

stomp into other countries,
blow things up,
take all of their wealth and goods,
put a new government in that answers to the US.

HMMMM... sounds like nazis with alot more diplomacy, doesn't it?

Answer 9

Because if we killed millions of people instantly, people will think of it as more wrong and everyone would rebel and there would be mass chaos. If they slowly killed everyone, a few here and there at a time, people would take it easier and would accept it more. It like someone cutting off someones finger everyday instead of chopping the whole hand off at one time. Which do you think would hurt more?

Answer 10

Perhaps Mr. Finger is more right than he knows. Check out this message we are sending to all the world. The timing is nearer than we think, obviously.
