I want to personally kill every single terrorist in the world.

I was reading an article about operations in Afghanistan. I would love to be in the Navy Seals, or delta force that is over there right now. I wish I had the abilities to fight in the special forces. Those guys are over there in civilian clothes sporting beards. That's how the special forces is.

So sign up. Go join your military, and stop making wild claims and empty promises.

when a court

Remind me again...what court authorised this assasination? none? indeed. The Israeli governement is playing judge, jury and executioner at the same time. Within their own country even!

I said if I had the ability. Read the post. You think they would take me.

I'm sorry for voicing my opinion. jeez.

What if it isn't our fault, but they blame it for us anyways? People often do hate others for no reason.

Very true, though when you are the worlds most dominant civilisation by far, very little isn't your fault . I do concur of course, which is why education is so important. It's amazing what you can do with the threat of sanctions...

It happened in Japan and Germany...

My point there was to say that some cultures are more compatible for democracy than others. It is not a one-size fits all magic bullet solution. The rhetoric of freedom and good (democracy) vs evil is bull. It is juts another political system that in many cases is not the best option, and also highly dependent upon a given culture. I postulate than Islamic culture, certain African cultures and many native South Americans are not suited to democracy.

Who is advocating genocide or mass relocation (except the terrorists)?

Well done! Hence irony of the logical conclusion of the force approach.

why?

Proportional response. I use Maslow's hierarchy of needs for determining that for the individual, one for a state is also fairly easy. Killing a person who would only bop you on the nose is not a proportional response. In the analogy I gave, it is second-degree murder.

Terrorism, if unchecked, is a direct threat. The reason it isn't a direct threat is because it isn't unchecked.

No, there is a cap on its capabilities until it becomes a tactical threat. Pray tell the mechanism behind your statement.

We'll see in Afghanistan and Iraq

IMO you already are . Seriously it will get better for about 2-5 years, then afterwards it will go downhill again. Look at Afghanistan and Somalia last time round.

I want to personally kill every single terrorist in the world.

George Washington? Che Guivara? Nelson Mandela? (the list goes on). Get over your propaganda and start thinking abuot these things.

I'm not sure I follow that logic. Why am I supposed to be more scared of a suicide bomber than a "conventional" bomber who can perform the same murderous act many times, and probably get better at it?

i didn't say that you should be 'more scared' of them, merely that people seem to react differently when a suicide bomber strikes, as opposed to a 'conventional' bomber. whether people should differentiate like this is open to question, but they still do.

molly, i really don't see what you are driving at, i have said there are similarites between the two groups, but that they cannot be dealt in the same way, do you disagree with this? or maybe you could just post some more links without bothering to read my posts, that'll sort it out

If you want to claim seld defence you cannot use futher phyical force once he is disarm and no longer than threat to you. It your wife was trying to kill herself with than knife an you phyical disarm her by than fast hard hit to her arm and the other hand force the knife from her hand after disarming her you arenot entittle to hit her again legal.
