You know about as much as what really happened as I do. To clarify my position.. I would like to see him go to trial. But if the oppurtunity wasn't there to take him alive then so be it. I just think Misa's position that "she's glad that he's dead and doesn't care that he didn't get a trial" is not rationally justifiable. Quote:
Pakistan actually denies that it knew where he was. Did elements of Pakistan's SIS know? Perhaps... but there is no proof that they knew or no evidence to suggest that they could or should have known. |

Again and i will not change my position on this because i feel VERY strongly about it. He was an enemy commander and combatant. If there was no way to take him alive and his action put any of the SEALS at risk he was treated as an enemy in a time of war. No we don't know all the details and we probably never will. I would have liked to see a trial but if his killing was unavoidable then so be it. I refuse to sadden that a guy who has no problem killing thousands of "civilians" to accomplish his goal in the name of his warped idea of Islam. Quote:

But you said earlier Quote:

The aid in Pakistan is essential to the war in Afghanistan. Without Pakistan's help.. the war would probably be a lot more costly, not only in economic terms but in terms of human life. Worst case scenario.. Pakistan's nuclear weapons get into the wrong hands. Without the aid... Pakistan would probably descend into chaos. So you see.. the Americans are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do you discontinue aid to the guys who you need to pursue this conflict in Afghanistan? Or do you continue working with the guys whom some of which are secretly working with the enemy? |

[quote=Ronin4hire;865499]You see nothing wrong with your position? Are you oblivious to pretty much the entire foundation of the Western legal system and Western philosophy?
Um.. I agree with you there. But you said earlier THAT is where you're being presumptuous. Quote:

There are all sorts of forces within a country that you must take into account. My opinion is that the Pakistan government at the highest level wants to cooperate with the USA and that they aren't cahoots with anyone. That's based on a simple assessment of what I think the people in power of Pakistan's interests are. Problem is that you're in charge of a country with a large anti-American sentiment that runs through it. |
