I agree. You have a good point.Quote from Petsamo:
God does not determine life and death. He just merely observes, and he's observing you, bearice!
I always wanted to say this. God has created every person for a specific purpose.
God created Hitler so that he can start World War 2. The world has demonized Hitler.
God created Osama Bin laden so that he can kill 3000 American people on 09/11/2001.
A lion kills a deer, buffalo, zebra and all other animals but no animal kills a lion.
So lions kill lions. The same applies to all the big and dangerous animals.
No animal kills human beings because human beings are on the top of the food chain and the dominant species.
Dinosaurs were killed because they had become the dominant species. Nobody could kill dinosaurs.
Now human beings have become the dominant species. Nobody can kill human beings. So human beings kill human beings.
I believe there is some divine/God powers helping Osama Bin Laden. That is the reason Osama bin laden is alive after 10 years of intense bombing.
On the second thought Osama bin laden did not kill 3000 americans on 09/11/2001.
The 19 hijackers killed 3000 americans on 09/11/2001 and these 19 hijackers were killed instantly/immediately.
Osama bin laden only provided finance for the 9/11 attacks. The planning and execution of 9/11 attacks was carried out by the 19 hijackers.
Picture Odumba with a beard. I LIKE IT!
92% of Afghan Men Know Nothing About 9/11
The report by The International Council on Security and Development (ICOS) policy think-tank showed 92 percent of 1,000 Afghan men surveyed in Helmand and Kandahar know nothing of the hijacked airliner attacks on U.S. targets in 2001.
"The lack of awareness of why we are there contributes to the high levels of negativity toward the NATO military operations and made the job of the Taliban easier," ICOS President Norine MacDonald told Reuters from Washington.

The United States cannot afford to give up the fight in Afghanistan.
During this "War against Al Qaeda" and its allies NATO is going to have to learn to take a long term approach. As Americans we like to have a quick 5 or 6 year war, then declare victory and go home. The terrorist know this and have planned accordingly. They figure that even though NATO has a vast military machine, the public in democratic countries will eventually lose the will to fight and basically forfeit the battle.
If NATO quits in Afghanistan the terrorist tied to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban will be incredibly embolden. They will begin to make a lot more demands on Arab governments and inspire much more fear in them. They will point out that the mightiest military alliance the world has ever known was not able to outlast and defeat them. They will most likely gain greater self-confidence and increase their attacks around the world. They will become much more effective in Pakistan and very dangerous long term ramifications.
What NATO needs to do is to publicly announce that they will be in Afghanistan for the next 30 years. That they may scale down operations as needed, but they will not be going anywhere any time soon...so all the calls for withdrawal can stop right now. They should announce that Afghanistan is the new NATO free fire training area and that all NATO countries will be sending their troops there for live fire real-life training operations for the foreseeable future. This will let the world know that NATO is in Afghanistan for the long haul. The US Military can move forces from places like Japan and South Korea that can easily build up any additional forces they need to protect themselves.
NATO does not need to even attempt to control the entire country. They can settle for controlling major population centers. This would allow the civilians who want a better life to move to the cities and get away from the crazed warlords and Taliban. It might take a decade to build up the Afghan army to even a basic fighting capacity, but it can be done. Large numbers of NATO troops may have to one day move into Pakistan to secure their nuclear arsenals and it will be much easier if they are in the neighborhood.
The primary responsibilities of the nation state are to enforce laws and protect its citizenry. The United States government has a duty to pursue Osama Bin Laden and his allies which include the Taliban, in order to show that this nation has the strength and resolve to do what is necessary to protect the citizens. Those who are considering attacking the US need to learn to fear the wrath of the US and know that it does not have a 10 or 11 year lifespan
