Oh believe me I don't condone anything that goes on in Afghanistan, but I
could take every country in this world and pick out things that I don't like
about it and decide to war against them, but to me that's stupid. The acts
of terrorism IN THE US were wrong, and it's time to deal with those here IN
THE US that are responsible. Maybe America has gotten too powerful for its
own good and they feel every wrong doing in the world is their business
nowadays. I don't understand why they just don't go ahead and bomb the rest
of the world and take it over as well. It seems to be the concept that this
resolves the problem.
I do agree that we cannot talk this problem out with the terrorists or their
leaders, but yet our government believes in doing this everyday within our
own country in courtrooms for people who have committed crimes and giving
them a chance to condone what they did wrong to get a shorter sentence or
even off the hook. I'm sure if they ever catch the terrorists and the
people who did the Anthrax crap (such sorry cowards) they'll only serve 20
years in jail eating up the taxpayers money to support their life. Oh sure
some court will give the lifetime sentence with no paroll at first to make
it all look good, but get out on good behavior or some nonsense excuse in a
few years. Aren't there four terrorists just now going to jail from the
incident a few years back on lifetime sentence? Lord forbid we give anyone
the death penalty to anyone comitting a crime nowadays in our own country
because we might burn in hell for it, but let's instead go blow the hell up
out of everyone else we feel is in the wrongdoing outside our country. I
just feel that our country needs to get their business straight first here
at home before blaming their flaws on other countries and do it quick before
the terrorists and supporters within our country destroy it with the anthrax
scares and other threats. If the majority feel that making sure justice is
served to their country can be accomplished by having war, then maybe our
country needs to start handling business with the same attention here at
home.
Americans, take care of your homeland first. It is where you live, not in
Afghanistan.
