Debate: Marines Urinating on Taliban
Side: Funny.

"Thank you for your thoughts on how misinformed i am,"I think we both know that isn't what I said, I have no idea how informed you are."but it simply reveals how misinformed YOU are."How exactly does it do that?"I most certainly KNOW that 9-11 didnt have ANYTHING to do with communism or Saddam Hussein,"Do you want me to drag up the statisitcs showing how many americans beleived Saddam was working with Al Queda, or was involved in 9/11, or that WMD were actually found, they really are quite startling."If the situation was reversed, they not only would be killing our soldiers, but innocent citizens also."Ok, so who do you think is responsible for the greater number of deaths of innocent civilains in Afghanistan (I'm not even going to mention Iraq, that's just too easy), the US or Taliban?"I cannot prove anything to someone only willing to listen to themselves,"I'm willing to take seriously everyhting you say, that's why I asked for further clarification. You seem to think that you are proving something by labelling the Taliban terrorists, if what you are trying to say is they are terrorists, I agree, but the real question is, who are the bigger terrorists?, the US or the Taliban. "i am CLEARLY showing that the Taliban aren't the perfect little angels just trying to protect their country that you portray them to be"The Taliban are a brutal fighting force with a corrupt religious ideology that restricts all human freedoms and subjects women to slavery. Their strict interpretation of the Sharia has no place in the modern world, but there are number of things that seem to allude you:(1.) The Taliban are a major politcal force in Afghanistan precisely because they have the support of a large portion of the population.(2.) If a foreign force invades your country you have every right to resist them, especially when they are responssible for killing tens of thousands of your country men(3.) US motives in Afghanistan, just like in any other country they get involved in, have nothing to do with democracy promotion, or helping the indigenous population, they are purely imperialistic and strategic in nature, anyone who really gives it any serious thought, or does some serious investigation, knows this, the days when the US could pull the wool over the eyes of people in the West are well and truly over, let alone in the poor world where so many have suffered due to their inperialistic policies."You dont have a mind reading degree."There is no such thing, however I do believe you view the taliban as the bad guys."I never said that the U.S. army was a force for good, so you must be incorrectly assuming my thoughts,"Well, from what you have said I can easily infer that you (at the very least) view the US army as the lesser of two evils relative to the Taliban."I said that the army wasn't 100% evil and nothing but a lie like you claimed them to be,"I don't lie, I don't pretend to have all the facts, but I have enough to back up what I'm saying."and said the soldiers weren't all good, but most have good intentions"Good intentions don't mean as much as you think in a corrupt system ruled over by people concerned with securing greater dominance in the world at any cost.
