Do you truly believe that it would satisfy the Afghan people? I don't at all.
97QGnHfyLuIWhy does he escape facing the laws of the land just because he's in the military? He wasn't following any kind of military directive, and he killed civilians.[/quote]
But he's not going to escape justice. He's going to face the courts for both of the above. No matter what the verdict they're not going to be satisfied.
97QGnHfyLuIThe US should pull out of the middle east, and keep their nose out of there. That they have their nose in there at all is a cause of a lot of the tensions. The US think they are the protectors/police of the world, and it rubs many the wrong way, especially to some counties in the middle east.[/QUOTE]
I've agreed with this for a while, they would have to continue to support Israel since Israel is their only stable Ally in that area though. But I would like to see the Yanks not buy oil or products from the middle east, not give any foreign aid to the middle east, and when disaster strikes they send a nice fuit basket with a card stating sorry about your luck, but call the Russians or Chinese.
But then they would be hated for that reason.
Frankly the American's can't win.
I would also encourage the American's to do the same thing with Pakistan for example.
They need to fall back on the Regeanesque, if your our friends you will find no better friend, if your our enemy you will find no worse enemy.
But if these nations think its bad dealing with the American's wait until they get a load of the Chinese and Russians.
