Should Terrorist be prosecuted? - Page 3

Bush was absolutely wrong, but if a few Iraqis decide to attack innocent Americans just because of what Bush did, should we allow that? It wasn;t our fault.

It wasn't Iraqis who attacked us. It's not your fault that you have the wrong information. Many of the Americans were mislead to believe that Iraqis were indirectly responsible for Twin Tower attack. They did a latest survey on Army men in Iraq and 75% believe that they are in Iraq because iraq sent people to bomb United states. THis is what happend when stupidy prevails in the society. All the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and Unites states Arab. None of them were from Iraq. Bush couldn't have attacked Saudi Arabia because it's a very strong country, so Bush goes for the underdogs. Plus United States has taken a lot of loans from Saudi Arabia...
Point is whole country was mislead and Iraqis are suffering right now. It's not our fault...you are right, but either us or our grand children will pay for it.
What English did to Tony Blair, we should have done it to Bush. People got united and threw shoes at Tony Blair for misleading them to Iraq war. and Tony Blair did ask for forgiveness.

Wait wait.. im confused.. wasn't the Iraq war just for oil?? Is there something more behind that??? Seriously speaking i don't know abt U.S.'s other motives..

no ....everyone meks mistakes,,,,,,even the people acuusing get it wrong...wat if they punish the wropng peepz!!!!!!!!

What I am trying to say is you can't put every one in a same category. You are talking about counseling....it's a very western way of thinking. It's like Bush wanting to spread Democracy in Iraq. Every culture has a time for everything. You can't just Bomb Iraq and tell people, " ok you were living a bad life; women were suffering; this is not the way to live." you can't do that.

I totally agree with you here. Every culture has a time for everything. It takes ages to change a culture. If some women in India does not like men dominating society, US come there and try to change India's culture.. not it's not done that way. You cannot teach culture how to treat women, or their society. You have to give them time to get exposed to other societies and world. Like African villages and some tribes are so behind they are far far behind in culture and way they look at society view comapred to West, but you cannot interfere in their culutre. Let those people themselves change thier culture. Trying to bomb someone and trying to impose them what you are doing is wrong just worsten the whole situation on international level.

What did we do to Al-Qaeda? Why do they hate us? They were planning 9/11 before Bush came into power. They claimed to do everything out of "Jihad"! They used their religion as an excuse for their brutality.

Well what did US do to Al-Qaeda? This is long story started when Russia and Afghan were having a war. and that's when US sow the seeds for their 9/11 attack. I believe thats how al-qaeda was formed too based on anguish. US was the one who gave birth to ossama and now its all backfire to US. just like Indira Gandhi's assisination case with operation blue star. So basically all I am saying is no one is clean. They are all same. I would not defend anyone here and won't say who is better and who should be blamed for this whole thing that is going on in world these days.

Coming back to topic. I think if we get hold of terrorst on list I would not worry about giving them severe punishment. They deserve the worst. No matter what bad situation they ahve been raised and what bad they have gone through in childhood, if that person had guts to kill innocent I would not think for a second to end life of that terrorist. Yes, if that iraqi children see all their near/dear ones loosing their life and can throw granades at age of 5 you can imagine what they can do at age of 25. No matter how sad I feel for their fate, do you think just to understand their pain, situation, aguish we can spare them and give them ok to kill other innocents. NO!! No matter what circumstances they come from good, bad, forced to be terrorist etc. etc. if given gun they can kill innocent citizen..then i would say just kill those beasts!! Ofcourse, i still dont belive in torture, as no human deserve that. If they are beast, we still can get rid of them, but not torture them.

My dear friend you are mistaken, since you have to understand the difference between rebels and terrorists. In the old period, we had rebels who fought against the king and his army. But in today's scenario the terrorists don't spare the innocent people.

How do we define Rebel? In Mugul era, for a Mugul king, Hindus were terrorists, but for a Hindu mother, their sons were rebels who were fighting for good cause- to save their culture and religion. When sikhs in 17th and 18th centuary fought against Muguls and before that with Hindu kings, they were considered Terrorists. But ask those sikhs mother, for them they were proud.

We consider Iraq a terror, but ask those people who live there. I have few friends from Iraq. They told me that the pics they were showing on Tv were from small towns. She was 15 when she came here. She used to go back to visit her family. She was shocked to see those pics. She showed me pics from Iraq. It looked like India. It's like how In American media they always show bad side of India. What if in future, they started showing that women are India are burned after marriage and they are forced to die with their husbands. All they need to do is make a video. Now is it true? Is all of India like this? Americans already have so many sterotypes against us and they will believe that BS. Every body knows that India had Nuclear power. Bush doesn't even need to get evidence. They can just attcak us by saying they have found that India is hiding osama, so we are with him, plus Video of Real India will do wonder.

You guys have to understand me. I am not saying that destructive activites are okay. But you can't punish them all. You have to get rid of the root cause. Why did Osama attack US. Why won't they attack India where in the name of religion, hindus and muslims kill each other. Why US? What had America done to them that they were that furious? By all means, Osama should get a death penalty for killing thousands of people. But do we have to be like him? If Osama killed few thousands, Bush has killed in 100, 000s.

Killing all the terrorist is not an answer!!!!!!!!!!

Come on, don't tell me that there is no difference between rebel and terrorist. The word "terrorism" itself answers it. A rebel rises against the ruling power and fights only with the army of the ruling power. And terrorists do harm to everyone, don't spare the common people. My point is, if one is fighting against the ruling army for a good cause one should be supported. But you can't get away by killing innocent people in the name of doing the right thing. Fight them who are worth fighting, not the unarmed ones. Like our freedom fighters fought against the British army and not their families.( Khudiraam was a freedom fighter who planned to bomb the British general/vice-roy but by mistake his bomb killed the general's relatives. He was hanged for his deed, the only remorse he had efore his death was that he killed some innocent people who were never his target). They will be always known as rebels or freedom-fighers, but not infamous terrorists.

Preserving one's culture and religion is always agreeable and a sensitive one. If powerful has anti-belief and try to demolish what it does not accept, then the suppressed has every right to rise against it and it's power. But why to involve and kill the people who has nothing to do in this game. I wonder which mother would be proud of her son knowing that instead of fighting against the powerful and the evil boldly her son killed someone's innocent child like a coward.

So, you are suggesting that terrorist should be let free so that they can go on with the killings of common people. Would you really consider the same(God forbid) if someone of your innocent closest one becomes a victim of terrorism.

India is a democratic country unlike Iraq, and India's picture is very clear to the world. It's past record shows that the country poses no threat to the rest of the world.

Yes, Bush acted like a terrorist. Because he did not fight with the Saddam regime, he killed thousands of common people also. His action is highly condemnable. He fooled the Americans, and now he has all time low approval from the Americans. John Kerry was not a competitive contestant or Bush would have never come back.

And in my opinion, whatever cause might have created Al-queda, the root cause always points to Palestine. Solving this can solve considerable part of all the problems. And of course Osama is against the fact that the Americans have a base in Saudi Arabia.

The overused cliche "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" is deceptive. For the truth is that one man's terrorist is everyones terrorist.The stupidity element in terrorism is truly astonishing. All the blood and gore signify, in the end, nothing by way of gain. In fact they lose a lot by harming their own cause. The Lashkar terrorists have been active in the name of Kashmir for a long time. If their aim is to make Kashmir break away from India they have seriously harmed it by projecting themselves as mercenaries and terrorists. Is there a Kashmiri who wants to be ruled by terrorists?
If a dozen Hindu shrines in India are obliterated and a few thousand Indians bombed to death what will the terrorists gain? They will push a lot more Hindus into the Hindutva mould and they will send all Muslims including the moderates into an insecure mode ..... the exact opposite of what they probably want.

For the planters of bombs the whole thing is utterly, unarguably, astonishly stupid.At no time in history has terrorism whether religiously inspired or state sponsored achieved anything.

Terrorists are merely pawns in the BIG game, you can't stop terrorism by merely eliminating them, you'll have to hit at their Masters which are finanially and logistically supporting them, who train them, brainwash them, provide weapons. Unless you send a firm message that any terror attack will not go un-answered, their Masters won't stop promoting these terrorists. I am sick of listening "This incident will not affect the ongoing peace process", everytime a terror attack happens.
