terrorism is not the same as war..

you cant fight a terrorist with soldiers in the streets... Terrorism have always been fought with intelligence and local police, untill after 911, where they claim they are fighting Al Quada in the mountain caves of Afghanistan... which is a total lie.

Al Quada is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil'

But even war criminals decerve a fair trial, and torture is wrong in all cases.

"When these guys were trained by our cia and given millions to fight the soviets in Afghanistan , were they just employees of America.'

PLEASE PROVIDE A REFERENCE OR LINK TO SUPPORT THIS LIE.

When these guys were trained by our cia and given millions to fight the soviets in Afghanistan , were they just employees of America. You see we built frankenstein and now here it is , we won't admit it ,but the Bush Family is long time friends with the Binladens. During the Reagan admin. what was good old Goerge Bush sr. up to , look it up!

Foreigners don't sacrifice their natural rights to be apart of the US -- natural rights being all of the rights you would have if you lived in alone in a forest: freedom, control of the fruits of your labor (wealth), etc. They don't follow US laws, pay US taxes, or contribute to US society. Thus they do not receive US civil rights, rights protected by law. Also, these individuals were never subject to US law thus they have committed no crime. They subject to US military policy.

foreingers are human you know.

My heart goes out to these people, and it's good to see that even those touched most by this tragedy still have the courage to believe in America.

And that's what it all comes down to:

Are we Americans or aren't we, and does that still mean anything? Do we believe in the values we preach or don't we?

Or do we throw out the Constitution as soon as somebody scares us? And if we do, then somebody call Osama bin Laden and tell him he won. We're terrified.

You post isn't spam and shouldn't be branded as such. I clicked "Not Spam" and I hope it works.

[SailorBarsoom]

Well, except we're not a country which prides itself on following the law when it's popular, and throwing it out when it is not.
