[quote="TGB!":7fdcf][quote:7fdcf]The UN and its member nations approved an illegal war in Afghanistan.[/quote:7fdcf]

The war that removed an terrorist orginazation from power that was aiding and abetting another terrorist organization that attacked the United States - nope. . .no justification there.[/quote:7fdcf]

Just because the war removed a "terrorist organization" does not automatically make it legal.

[quote:7fdcf][quote:7fdcf]This right off the bat illegitimizes the war.[/quote:7fdcf]

That is RIDICULOUS logic. Because we make it known that "oh my gosh" we may have to take action against a country that is sponsoring terrorism (something that has been known since Omar came into power) - before they do something ELSE. . .please. [/quote:7fdcf]

The basis for war in Afghanistan was planes flying into NY. I'm sure that if it was public knowledge that the war was planned before the attacks happened, you'd have some people asking more questions about the legitamicy of the war.

[quote:7fdcf][quote:7fdcf]He was already there.[/quote:7fdcf]

He came into the country under the invitation of men who would later be heads of state. Period. End of story. During this time US Embassies, the US Cole and the WTC were bombed. You dont conduct terrorist activities from a country with ease WITHOUT having a relationship with the people in power. [/quote:7fdcf] oOo: Afghanistan is not like a western country. If a terrorist group is in Candada or the US, or any European country, the police go after them. In Afghanistan, you may have noticed, they don't really have any police. Their country is a desolate wasteland filled with poor people and opium. I don't think the country really had or has the resources to carry out anti terrorist operations.


[quote:7fdcf]Ninty for all your waxing about the "ills" in this administration - your information seems woefully inadequate and intentional limited.[/quote:7fdcf] I suppose I could say the same for you.
