do you support it or no?

The Vietnam War, for example - the people there were poor and were about to be ruled by a communist government, but were they unhappy? I'm sure they were happier before their whole country was being bombed by napalm and Agent Orange by the Allies who believed that the Vietnamese would be "happier" living in a western culture. And what's the result? A totally useless war wasting a lot of lives and money - sort of like what this war in Iraq is ending up to be.

Since you took the liberty to clear up misconceptions with the Kamikazes, I feel like I have to clear up some misconception you might have about the Vietnam War.

Vietnam was NOT poor in the days before Communist regime. Even though we wanted independence from France badly, we were NOT poor. And YES, people in the south were UNHAPPY with the communists! Why else would we began a decade of civil warfare? We knew the consequences of war! People are not so ignorant as to not knowing that there will be casualties. The Southerners supported a democratic government, why else would there be mass migration to America? Most of us enjoy western culture.

Yes, that war wasted lives and money, but we were fighting for our freedom and we felt that it was honorable. Please DO NOT say that we fought that bloody war for nothing.

Another thing, catching Bin Laden and punishing him will NOT change anything. Terrorism doesn't work like that. Destroying one organisation will just give rise to another, as long as there's hate - and believe me, there's alot of it out there. I say, catching Bin Laden would just make things worse, because he's got a legendary status in the middle east.

Okay, then lets stop tracking him down and let him roam free to do more fatal damage to the world's population.
Punishing him will bring satisfaction, and will set an example for terrorist wanna-bes that America is not to be trifled with.

I, for once, will feel safer if the world is rid of that one terrorist.
