Taliban, terrorist or self-defense? info


Well I've noticed that the taliban really had nothing to do with the September 11th attacks except having Osama bin laden in their country, they were willing to give him to the United States when they asked but they for some reason refused to provide evidence. Furthermore, on the FBI site Osama Bin Laden is not wanted for the September 11th attacks, and when asked why he wasnt on the list is because "lack of evidence". So why the hell did the United States invade Afghanistan in the first place and why did Brittain, Australia, Canada and several European NATO countries even follow?

Anyways, this is my perspective of the subject of what I've read. Not to mention now that Obama got into the seat, there just happened a raid on a compound with only civilians (including children and a pregnant mother) that were killed by US Special Operation Forces (or some joint force, not sure, I can dig the link up). At first the story was being covered up that they werent civilians but insurgents but later US admitted that they were infact civilians.

What're your thoughts about this? I dont really mean to sound like Anti-American or Anti-NATO, so maybe you people could explain what is going on?

Gee, don't mean to sound like military bashing. Where have I heard that before? Oh yes the last thread that started with. "not bashing the military but they kill kids"

Apparently, the FBI can't put Osama Bin Laden on "the list" because of "lack of evidence" but some nimrod can accuse troops of "killing babies" with an equal "lack of evidence".

As near as I can make out the Taliban are a group of fundamentalist Muslims who use the West's support of oppression of Muslims to gain votes.

Originally I think that all they wanted (and got) was political power in Afghanistan so they could declare it a caliphate, but because of our continued fight against Muslim countries and interference in their affairs, they are slowly transforming into an anti Western alliance because they can see that this will get them the support they need.

Trace this problem back to it's primary cause,..... it's not hard if you take off the blinkers.

Mr Chupike, would you for once stop trolling?

The gentleman has clearly and unequivocally stated what he meant, no reason for you to say he "meant" ... "something else...bla bla bla". Trolling, and off topic.

Your other contributions, as so often, have nothing to do with what this gentleman stated (where did he mention babies killing?), i.e. are off topic and obviously so with evil intent.

Stop baiting or learn to read.

Update SEP 2011: Now reached US, called "Occupy Wall Street" and they claim they invented it. Thanks for learning from Spain!

I'd say they're just on the defensive.
It may NOW be self-defense but they brought it on themselves. Let's say some guys were holding some people hostage and they were stormed by the SWAT team and they fought back... that doesn't really qualify for self-defense even though their action at that point in time may have been.
