Hm, just wanted to put this out there and see what are your opinions.
But let me ask you this, if someone attacks you and your family, what do you do, do you just stand there and let the attackers run over you, or do you fight back with all you've got ?
Isn't it so that you receive what you give (most of the time) ?
So I was thinking, in the case of Afghanistan, Al-Qaeda and the US was on terror.
From what I've learned the US and the coallition forces are trying to eradicate Al-Qaeda from the surface of earth. I'm not the slightest surprised that this really leads to even more anger and willingness to attack US and US friendly parties by Al-Qaeda and their supporters.
I was thinking, what if the US forces stopped killing and stopped attacking, but rather did their best to help building infrastructure, social systems, providing a higher standard of living etc. Would not this make the people of Afghanistan welcome the US more, and the urge to do terrorist attack etc. would be reduced ?
After all, who wants to kill your helping hand ? But the attacking hand, who wants to be kind to it ?
Sure enough, the 9-11 attacks was devastating, but haven't there been enough killings now. There's been so many reports about drone attacks, and innocent people being killed by the US. Would it not make sense to stop waging war against 'terrorism' if the goal was to stop terrorism ?
Or perhaps there really is no wish for peace, because what should the US forces do if there was peace everywhere ?
What do you think ?
I think you need to learn about the history of Islam before making such suggestions.
This is also true for every culture that once has been military dominating. Therefore you can't ever trust a brit, chineese, american, native from the maya or inks tribes, someone from mali, someone from former babylon or egypt, swedes, germans, french, portugeese, russians, spanish people and a fuckload of other people.
Also, most wars and terrorist attacks and murders and other gruesome things are done by men, and most commanders in both historical and present wars have been men, and most soldiers are men. Therefore, no men can be trusted.
OR!
Guilt by association is a filthy thing that should not be confused with arguments. Also, to distrust muslims. Really?
