Please convince me!
Ok, I'm tired of always feeling like I'm one of the only few that truly understands what is happening in the world. And I must apologize that I seem to be able to relate every discussion to the tragedy that is Bush's so called "War on Terrorism" (see hxxp://www.betaone.net/forum/showthread.php?p=74824#post74824).
So the task I bring to you is this. Convince me that this war is a just one. Give me some good reason why we should be in other countries bombing their schools and hospitals (yes this did happen). Tell me why you are not outraged at our government for deceiving us into believing that the attacks on the WTC were the work of Saddam. If you are to say that it is because Saddam is a known financier of terrorist movements do you not know that the CIA trained Osama Bin Laden in the 80's? This is in fact common knowledge and something that is at least suspect if not damning to our own government.
Don't tell me that this is a "tired old subject" because people are still being killed, the war is not over, nor will it be any time soon.
Do you not agree that if another country occupied the one you live in cutting off your water and power, destroying your homes and hospitals would you not rise up to oppose them? Would it not sicken you that when it comes time to rebuild these things that your own countrymen were denied jobs while the task is outsourced to a company ran by the Vice President of the invading country (i.e. Halliburton). Please tell me that you are not blind to what is happening in your own world. Please tell me that you are not simply another sheep being misled by the wolves of this nation.
I longingly await your thoughtful analysis of this situation.
If I am wrong please prove it to me. I do not wish to hate the country I live in.
Sincerely,
Ben
