I think you will find that soldiers doing "their duty" by dutifully following orders can well be found guilty in a court of law on lots of grounds.Originally Posted by ceburat
But maybe not US soldiers, who's government will never release them into other duristictions to face trial.
This contradicts directly what you said earlier.Originally Posted by ceburat
So is it ok to shoot women and children to get to the armed enemy, or is it not?
So it is wrong, though you do not blame the soldiers? I can agree with this.Originally Posted by ceburat
But, if it is wrong, why do you advocate doing it so strongly? Are you a Christian now, or not?
I have no easy solution, I am sure there is not one.
What is happening at this moment is not working, the problem is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. The major powers are extending the scope of their operations and this can only exagertate the problem.
There is a solution out there that does not involve the continued killing of more and more people. It may mean the the major power has to give something up, maybe money, food, resources and start to share with the rest of the world.
This they seem unlikely to do. They act like little children at times "this is my toy (money / power) and i am keeping it". As adults we try to teach our children to share things, so that our kids will not fight. Maybe we need to teach our governments to share things too.
Christians I know do not fight. No killing. No war. You seem to have a hard time understanding that I was millitary a long time before I was a christian. What I did then as a soilder or would do now as a soilder is much different then what I would do as a christian. Now that I am a christian I would not go to war.
What I have a hard time with, is making out the Christian behind the (indoctrinated) soldier who seems to do most of the posting here.Originally Posted by ceburat

And you're a brainwashed monkey, I spit on the bible, the coran, the torah, Jesus and any other liars who have generated the biggest mass killings in the world history.Originally Posted by ceburat

You may have noticed I defended American civilians in this thread, I think it is wrong to kill them. And I challenged you on your switching between your attitude as a former soldier and your present one as a Christian, the comments are pretty contradictory.Originally Posted by ceburat
Seems I hit a sour spot there, good if it makes you reflect on your attitude.
No, you don't "tell it like it is", you are expressing your opinions, which don't match. You need to clear your head of your military as well as religious indoctrination and make your mind up for yourself.
And I sincerely wish you all the best with this task for your spiritual growth.

That's a pity.Originally Posted by ceburat
Noone suggested such.Originally Posted by ceburat
I don't think so. Believing this is part of your religious indoctrination.Originally Posted by ceburat
Being so cock-sure about the US military actions being right and the 'fault' lying entirely with the 'enemy', is part of your military indoctrination.
Sad.
i think machas friends would be a bit disappointed if every muslim was put to death in a country after some misguided muslim fundamentalist chap decides to do a suicide bombing and kills some innocent people out shopping.
and anyway macha i dont really understand why you should use the term paki. is it normal in pakistan to describe one of your own as a paki?
This:
Quickly degenerates to:
Eventually revealing an overt hatred of Americans coupled with the tacit, implicit support of terrorist groups that intentionally target and kill and civilians.
Is Farfur your "hero" too?
GAZA, July 2 (Reuters) - A Hamas television station that last week killed off a Mickey Mouse lookalike who urged children to fight against Israel will use other famous characters to further their Islamist agenda, station officials said on Monday. The host of the children's show "Tomorrow's Pioneers", Farfur, dressed in a full body-suit to resemble the Walt Disney cartoon character. The character was beaten to death in the show's final episode last week by a character posing as an Israeli. Farfur and a female co-host instructed their young viewers on Hamas's militant brand of Muslim piety and urged children to support armed resistance against Israel. Mohammad Saeed, the director of production at Al-Aqsa Television, told Reuters the station would use other famous cartoon characters in future shows. "Farfur was a story alive and he has turned into another story as a (martyr)," Saeed said. The show had drawn complaints from Israeli watchdog groups.

We can question the logic of the Muslim man on the street, but the sobering reality is that every civilian killed by US weaponry (regardless of the reason) usually creates dozens of mortal enemies in that person's extended family. Afghanistan and Pakistan are also starting to unravel and if the US thinks that an air war will help the situation, their think-tanks should read the types of stories that started this thread. With their current policies, the United States is making enemies faster than it can kill them.

This is, more or less, what a number of Westerners, including some on this forum are advocating.Originally Posted by slimboyfat

Jesus and god(s) are pure inventions intended to lure and fear society and therefore manipulate and dominate people to the benefit of the most powerful cheaters.
I assume you're also part of the intolerant people who pretend there is one and only one god and it's naturally the one you're believing in. Then you' belong to the christian extremists.

Utter bullshit! Haven't you heard Hassan Nasrullah's speech when Israel invaded? He openly challenged Israeli forces. He asked the Israelies not to target civilian population (but Israel put it the other way round that civilians are killed cos Hezbollah fighters are hiding behind women and children). He called for a man to man fight on ground which Israel never responded to. Now you don't want me to upload the news?
..... and if it's not about eye for an eye then why do we see the whole American army inside Afghanistan? Aren't they their to take revenge?
By the way, IMO the Americans need a lesson (although I am not a supporter of war) for invading a country on false grounds. I am talking about Weapons of Mass Disgrace (WMDs)!
