Not when it involves foreign nationals and rises to the scale of 9/11. That sort of thing is akin to warfare and a direct attack on the country as a whole. It therefore DOES justify a military response.
You can't really compare that directly to some Yay-hoo tossing a stink bomb at an abortion clinic because he thinks that's what Jesus wants. | Actually the attack is on an idealogy which is the same as throwing a stink bomb because the stink bomb is also an attack on an idealoogy . Just because one makes more damage doesn't mean the other is any less a threat to our freedom. Neither are justfied no matter the result.
All fundamentalists are crazy nutjobs and they all use the same rhetoric to gain a political (as opposed to spiritual) advantage..our belief and way of life is being attacked blah blah blah...its the same crap..what we don't understand and its the same thing we didn't understand about Japanese suicide bombers in WWII is the complete lack of respect for human life. But I also don't get why threatening to kill an abortion clinic worker is any less ..it too shows a lack of respect for human life. But we somehow for whatever reason don't see them as the same.
In this country we need to question fundamentalist objectives and stop the hey I respect your belief crap which means we end up not questioning their beliefs and what they want...we can question the effect their beliefs have on our society and we should. This is not attacking their belief but ensuring that everyones freedoms (such as they are ) are looked after.
As for the Muslims extremists I don't know what the answer is but what we are currently doing does seem to be making the situation worse.. |
